Ever since Man of Steel hit screens in 2013, fans have been wondering when his next solo movie might emerge, and with at least two or three movies due for release every year until 2020, DC and Warner might struggle to find room for a standalone adventure.

Reports nevertheless emerged recently that Man of Steel 2 is a "top priority", just as it should be given the fairly shaky reception to Superman's characterisation so far, where he's spent far too much time moping and arguably deviated too much from the plucky character from the comics.

Another solo movie with the right creative team behind it could help course-correct his depiction while deepening the audience's bond, given how his abrupt death in BvS felt wholly unearned after just two movies spent with the superhero.
