10 Things Man Of Steel 2 Needs To Be Great

10. Believable Daily Planet

For starters, Clark Kent needs an actual place to work.

The Daily Planet was teased at the end of Man of Steel and then featured as an actual location in BvS. However, it was never fleshed out beyond 'dull place where Clark works when he's not being Superman', partly because of how uninterested Snyder was in anything having to do with Superman's less heroic alter ego.

The most time ever spent there in BvS was practically less than a minute of screentime at a time, resulting in it being a key setting that never had the chance to actually develop any characteristics or hallmarks.

It's also worth pointing out that even the brief periods of time spent in the Planet in BvS was utterly nonsensical. Perry White doles out different sections of the paper to different writers each day as if the paper doesn't have a specific writer for each section.

The Planet is a real, fleshed out location in the comics and the animated series, and it deserves a proper live-action treatment. It would give the film a chance to show us a different side of Metropolis and how Clark actually views the city he's protecting. His work at the Planet as Clark is frequently a passion for him as well, not just a cover-up for his superheroics. A believable Daily Planet would give Clark more depth as a character, instead of just being Superman-in-disguise.
