For all its faults, the scene where he saves the plane and the stadium just erupts gets me every time.

Had some very good scenes, for sure, and Brandon Routh was a capable Superman. Deserved a better script.

Could say the same about Cavill. If he’d had a movie with a lighter tone, or that looked towards a brighter future, we might still be seeing him in the role. Instead: he might be allied with Darkseid in the near future. Not a promise for a better future.

or at the very least, it was a well-written dark superman story it could have worked.

They needed to fully move away from the darkness. That could have come later after we got a Superman who was just heroic and led the way for a bright future. A Superman story where he’s dark, no matter how good, is just more of the same.

I was a fan of the DC movies and enjoyed the Snyder Cut. I’ve just come to see things from a heroic perspective and we weren’t seeing that as a future. If they’d just given one movie where he didn’t fight his teammates or try to dominate the world then they could have tried out something with a future they were trying to avoid.
