David Goyer Still Feels The Need To Explain MoS

>These characters are continually being reinvented. If they’re done right, they’re also REFLECTIONS of their times, and so I do think it’s a big enough tent.

>It’s okay to have an animated Batman, and it’s okay to have the Christian Bale Batman or the Frank Miller Batman. Some are more successful than others, but it’s okay to have these different interpretations of him and Superman. One of my favorite more recent interpretations was Grant Morrison’s take on Superman a few years ago, which very much was as the boy scout.

>It’s just that in Man of Steel, that specific approach was a story of two fathers and a story about an alien, an immigrant, being sent to another world and initially being met with fear. Then the take was whether, despite the fact that he’s met with fear and initially hated, he still chooses to make the right decision.

>That was the approach. It wasn’t necessarily that he was angsty, but that was the conceit. AT THE TIME IT SEEMED RELEVANT.

Notice everyone else is actually talking about Superman in general, or mostly talking about the new show, or talking about their own perspective and feelings about Superman generally....

>One of the things different writers have talked about is their struggle in writing Superman and portraying the character, because he’s either overpowered or he’s too inherently good and all of that kind of thing, which, personally, I’m not sure I feel the same way.

>I look at something like Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman, that’s a great portrayal of a character and it’s one of my favorites. In the hands of the right writer, none of that becomes an issue.

He needs to get over the fact that most people who watched that movie didn't like it.

A quick google search shows the rating metrics don't fall below 55%

>they’re also REFLECTIONS of their times
MoS is a reflection of its time by being washed-out, colorless, depressing, takes itself way too seriously, pretentious, shit.

I can appreciate a few of the things MoS tried to do, but overall it was a 3 hours of what felt like the infamous Kill Bill monologue. Perhaps the biggest gripe I personally had with it, was too much Superman, and not enough Clark Kent. Between this and BvS, they really didn't want to write around Clark's normal, farm boy side. They really made him a weird alien. But that's just my takeaway

>OP still feels the need to hate DC
Get a life.

that doesn't mean its well remembered. It's become a joke as far as being a Superman movie.

you do realize that 55%, grading on a curve, would be a failing grade?

Goyer isn't DC, son.

And I'm not the one still feeling the need to explain myself like David did. Which he's mainly doing, because if this is a big bomb, and that represents people being unwilling to check it out because of MoS, he's got no one else to blame but himself.
