My biggest gripe about the Whedon release (there were a lot) was what he did with Superman. It came off as someone who heard the gripes about Supes not being the boy scout and decided he'd do something about it. That's why we got the very forced video a kid took of Superman in the opening scene, and how Superman acted once he joined the fight in the end. I've always said Snyder had a plan to transition Superman to a more recognizable character over time. Whedon had Superman come back from the dead, fight his allies, and then quickly turn into the guy that reminded kids to take their vitamins. It was a completely unearned transformation. Snyder had set the precedent that visits to the fortress of solitude helped him mentally and emotionally. We saw him getting closer to tradition by sacrificing itself at the end of BvS. The scene where he takes the black is in tune with that. He hears both of his fathers' voices lending him advice and direction. Love them, lead them, be their example. When he shows up against Steppenwolf, you see a confident, self assured Superman for the first time. That's earned, as opposed to shoehorned like Whedon's version was. Whedon's version was very much that of someone that felt uncomfortable that Supes looks angry amongst his enemies. Snyder had Supes look confident with a smile, ready to whoop ass, as opposed to smiling to make pussies feel comfortable.
on their face. Was legit scared for them nikkaz cause Kal was ready to smoke em all. Supes really embodied the godlike feel he should have always had. IF he wanted to cancel you, he could do it with EASE.
