So a real life Superman would have to either be an authoritarian fascist or a completely arrogant d/;;((?Nemeres said it better here for me. That firemen example is a cop out for me, but we both know where I stand on this. Perhaps I’m more cynical pov in my real world view in a sense. A real life Supes would be a dictator/Homelander type imo. Frank Miller was right.
The fact that they took a homeless illegal alien into their home, and fed him, and clothed him, and gave him love....tells me all about their political stand.The only thing I’m skeptical about if we apply a real world view is whether or not Ma and Pa Kent are republicans.
Kansas is a red state, but I digress.
It's fantasy. Myths and fables on what we can and should strive towards.
It's because he has nothing interesting to say. Which isn't a crime. But boy did it make for some lousy DC movies.
It's only the entire point of his creation. The world was at one of its darkest points in history, his creators' people being the ones most-targeted by this specific darkness, so they created a FANTASY about someone who had power and didn't abuse it to contrast that bleak reality they were faced with. He's a "power fantasy," but not in the sense of "how good it would be to have power" but in the sense of "what if someone with power were truly good." The whole damned point of the character's existence.
"What would Superman be like in our world" is an irrelevant question. The point of fantasy is, what could we be in his world? We all know our world ain't like that. That's obvious. The idea is if enough people imagine what the world could be, they could change it for the better. It's called "aspirational."
We have so many stories about the other type of folk. Which is why Superman can and should standout.It's only the entire point of his creation.

Telling a story about someone who abuses power is easy. It's lazy. We can just look out the window for that. Telling a story about someone with great power who stays good and remains an aspirational figure? That takes talent, skill, a certain amount of optimism and imagination. No easy feat today.
Oh yeah, that's a super fight!
Looks like an action scene stunt
Question is what suit will be opposing Superman! Will we see double Supes
Looks like an action scene stunt
Same here. But I’m from Louisville, so being a democrat is more acceptable here, I guess.

I think the fight in SV should have been the only/final fight. By the time of the metropolis fight, it had the "been there, done that" feel to it, or at least it did for me.It's because he has nothing interesting to say. Which isn't a crime. But boy did it make for some lousy DC movies.
