The most prominent criticism constantly levelled against director Zack Snyder is that his movies are "style over substance". 300 in particular was a flashy visual spectacle without much narrative meat to it, and Man Of Steel was also criticised for its lack of character development in favour of exuberant style and insane set-pieces. It's hard to expect much different from this film, even with Oscar-winning Argo writer Chris Terrio helping out David S. Goyer with the script. What's been shown off so far certainly looks ridiculously stylish, but it remains to be seen whether the narrative will follow through gracefully or end up feeling like an afterthought to the visuals.
