Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Because this isn't the perfect Superman Silver Age version anymore. We need to have our main characters go through trials & tribulations, we need them to have flaws and fight the villain...not knowing if the hero will come out on top.
exactly what i was thinking, i want to see superman move a planet................or see prime own the justice league or a green lantern army on the big sreen
Because people want live action, and you can't really do much with live action otherwise it'll look too weird or goofy. Now animation on the other hand....then you can do a heck of a lot more, but people don't wanna see animation for some reason.
Oh I don't know, maybe that's because Silver Age Supes was so freaking overpowered that he could destroy entire solar systems by SNEEZING. God, why does everybody gush over the silver age? It was way to ridiculous for my tastes.
Because Silver age Superman sacrificed good story telling, in favor of making Superman a living dues ex machina or a PIS (plot induced stupidity) machine. It's one thing to give the hero something convenient so he can finally win the day. It''s another thing to do so in a way that makes not one lick of sense, even for a piece of fiction.
