Occasionally, the self-awareness is hilarious, as when secondary characters go out of their way to point out that the climactic battle is taking place in a series of unpopulated areas. The sequel, Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, isn't just a sequel to Man Of Steel, it's a pointed referendum on the debate that followed the film. Man Of Steel portrays that decision as painful and personal, made at great cost-but it doesn't bear any resemblance to the more than 70 years of Superman stories that preceded it. And ultimately, to some fans' horror, he kills Zod to prevent him from doing further harm. That comes to a head when he fights fellow Kryptonian General Zod (Michael Shannon) in the middle of downtown Metropolis, destroying half the city and undoubtedly killing untold numbers of civilians. Snyder's Superman is haunted by his own powers, while simultaneously blind to the harm those powers cause.

He struggles with the memory of his adoptive father Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), who advises him to hide his abilities, then chooses to die rather than let Superman publicly save him.

The film's version of the man from Krypton, as played by Henry Cavill, is noble and powerful, but removed from the people he's protecting.

Back in 2013, Zack Snyder's cinematic Superman reboot Man Of Steel stirred up plenty of controversy with its dour take on a beloved icon.
