“Superman was one – if not the – of the first superheroes I fell in love with as a child and he has had a special place in my life, whether it’s in the comics, film or television shows. I won’t deny that Man of Steel had some flaws, but no movie is perfect. This film is a powerful modern take on this iconic hero and his mythology. Some say that it “failed” in bringing the level of optimism and inspiration that other Superman interpretations has had, which I will always 100% disagree with. This was an ORIGIN story, I didn’t expect to go into this film and come out having the “classic” Superman that we have seen before. I also love the fact that it wasn’t all sunshine with this Superman in this world that he lives in. I found the complexity that Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill added to this to be quite compelling and why this film worked for me among other reasons too. I’m excited to be getting to revisit these characters and this world this week as we continue to see the birth of what I feel will be an amazing cinematic world for DC.” – Andy Behbakht
