Man of Steel was first publicly announced in 2010 during the height of Nolan's Dark Knight era and two years before The Avengers. As the MCU was still in its infancy, the prospect of a Superman movie from the writing team of The Dark Knightwas very exciting. The release of The Avengers changed the landscape considerably. Audiences and studios alike...
Krypton's opening sequence is excellent. It simultaneously introduces the main characters, establishes the core conflict, and interjects some immediate stakes into the story. While comic book fans were already well-versed in Krypton's existence, casual viewers likely weren't, making the sequence an exciting introduction to Superman's homeworld. Add...
After multiple close calls on prominent Hollywood roles (including Superman), Cavill finally caught his big break in 2011 when Zack Snyder cast him as Kal-El/Clark Kent. While there is no replacing Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh does an underrated job in Superman Returns, Cavill truly feels as though he were made to play the character. Adams w...
Though understandably not for every movie, Man of Steel handles realism well on a couple of different levels. First, it keeps Superman's core elements intact while giving them plausibility. Kal-El must learn to hone his abilities through practice, his powers are weakened by exposure to Kryptonian atmosphere (like General Zod's ship) rather than Kry...
Similar to other high-profile villains (Thanos) whose villainy is a matter of perspective, General Zod isn't strictly an evil character. In fact, his sole purpose as a Kryptonian is to protect Krypton at all costs and ensure its survival. It's literally what he's born to do. The arrival of Zod's crew on Earth is one of the most suspenseful and visu...
Shared universes are so popular now, that making Man of Steel's self-contained story was an unexpected breath of fresh air upon re-watches. Aside from a couple of non-distracting teases of the greater DC world, the story is 100%, Superman. Thanks to its singular focus, the main characters have clearly established motivations: Kal-El is driven by Jo...
Unlike previous Superman adventures which included John Williams' iconic Superman theme, Snyder opted to differentiate things and go with an original score. As such, he turned to one of the greatest Hollywood composers working today, Hans Zimmer. Zimmer elects to avoid the sweepingly operatic and joyful themes of the 70's Superman and instead play ...
One of the most praised aspects of the film is Superman's flight and no scene is more iconic than his first attempt to fly. Snyder exercises just the right amount of restraint in the scene to allow for the moment's importance to resonate both for Kal-El and the audience.

The film sets up Superman's arc via the relationships with his parents and Lois, which establishes the core conflict he must face within himself: his humanity. Given he's an alien who has been isolated and bullied for being different, it's believable that he doesn't quite understand his place as Earth's protector until after Zod's arrival. The thir...
Man of Steel may only be known to some as the ill-fated kick-start to the Justice League, but that detracts from the larger conversations it initiates. After all, movies that generate healthy discussions are typically worthwhile to revisit. One of the largest discussions it starts is the inevitable comparisons to Marvel. While this provides engagin...
