The Superman franchise seems to spend half its time hyping a film as the definitive work of the superhero genre and the other half waiting for a reboot. Ever since Christopher Nolan raised the superhero bar with Batman and Josh Whedon smashed records with The Avengers we’ve been waiting for a Superman movie to do the same. When will we get a film to match The Dark Knight Rises
or The Avengers 2? I’m sorry but the Brandon Routh version of Supes was a good effort, but it just doesn’t cut it.
I’m always a little bit reluctant to buy into the hype of a film, but if it’s right about Man of Steel
then they might have finally given us the great Superman movie that we’ve been waiting for. Just look at the promo; it looks gritty but faithful to the original. How about the shots of Henry Cavill in front of the bank vault? Dark, but without ever becoming comically hardboiled. It’s just what you want from a superhero film.With Justice League
on it’s way it’s about time they got their act together too! Now we just need a little Justice League cameo in it… What! A man can dream can’t he?
