Man of Steel: 10 Mistakes From Superman Returns Reboot Must Avoid

9. A Self-Obsessed Superman

We understand that it's a difficult thing to take an extremely long flight to your home town €“ a distant planet, that you thought was destroyed in a natural disaster, but then heard that something might have survived €“ only to find nothing there. But you don't need to take a whole movie to mope about it. Superman takes a rather amazing amount of personal time to look pained and feel very sorry for himself. He goes as far as to explain to Lois Lane what it feels like to be a god-like figure who has to constantly hear the pleas for help from the citizens below. Unbelievably , he chooses to sadly fly around with no clear purpose, instead of getting his hands dirty and helping out the citizenry a little. There's nothing particularly heroic about caring more about yourself than people who need actual saving.
