Youre probably bored of hearing proper DC comics fans complain that the Superman we saw in Zack The Hack Snyders 2013 toilet-busting effort, Man Of Steel, isnt the real Superman, the one they grew up with. Theyll cite his almost complete lack of interest in preventing the wholesale carnage in Metropolis at the climax of the movie, preferring to engage his enemies in superpowered fistfights. Theyll roll their eyes at his snap decision to murder General Zod to prevent him from killing bystanders, rather than any of the many other possible ways he could have stopped him from doing so. Then theyll mention the fact that this Kal-El isnt really that smart, for a Superman. Theyll list all of the ways in which the big lug could have stopped Zod without a planet-wide alien invasion and accompanying catastrophe like they do here, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjSNLmb0Ndw Well, far be it from us to deviate from the smart thinking. After all, vending machine coffee looks like coffee, is made from coffee, is marketed as coffee but tastes like hot old shoes. Thats Snyders version of Superman: looks like Superman, has the same back story as Superman, is sold as being Superman, but tastes like hot old shoes. Oh, and the S on his chest clearly stands for schmuck. Batman is going to cream this doofus.
