I enjoy what Nolan's film company is doing. I like that we have the two dichotomies of comic books, Marvel's movies are more fun and smartass superhero movies while the DC movies ( i am only talking nolan's films, f*** green lantern) are feeling more realistic and dark. I really liked his realistic take on Batman (especially the fact that as a human there was only so much punishment one can take) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED his take on supes. I am not even kidding.
Superman is an alien on a planet that will not simply look to the heavens and trust him. It felt like it had a great heaping of what was done in Kirkman's Invincible comic book series. Supes feels lonely, isolated, and different. Yet when his own kind shows up, he fights them. He has to surrender up people he leaves in flash backs and contend with his own expanding powers as a scared child. It's all moving and gave much depth to the character. Throughout it all, he is still a boy scout, but you can tell he's been pushed, been prodded but still chooses that path.
I liked this movie and I liked this character and I normally hate superman. This started off a new series for me and I look forward to what Nolan/snyder can do for this series. ALSO! Snyder made the most badass scenes of fighting for this film. There was no slow motion, only beating, fast beating, flight beating, and "flash step" beatings. Got what I wanted.
