Do you think Superman sometimes eats stuff he shouldn't to freak people out
Like, he'll be in a Justice League meeting, and he'll just start casually eating a chair
Time to break down the BvS fight in TDKR (the Dark Knight Returns) and also the film BvS (Batman v Superman).
in TDKR, Superman was just trying to reason with Batman. He wasn’t out for blood. He was just trying to confront him like a parent to his or her child. That’s all it was. Stop blowing it out of proportion. (Another tumblr user came up with this analogy. It’s not mine.)
and in BvS, same thing. Clark was trying to reason with a bloodthirsty Batman. Superman needed help finding Clark’s mom—Martha. (He could have just used his super hearing to listen for her heartbeat.) stop blowing things out of proportion.
“If I wanted it, you’d be dead already!” -Superman to Batman
In Batman: Hush, Bats even said that Superman could take him down with his superspeed. But Clark was holding back. And Clark is more than just fists.
Clark has alien technology that is more advanced than earth and understands it. He led the JL before Bruce Timm showed up and forced a bunch of changes—-Batman, the self-righteous lone wolf as the leader of the JL (“I work alone.” Yet has the entire Batfam, GCPD, and Batman Inc.), an OOC Wonder Woman interested in Batman and a grumpy strong man for Superman.
(Also, (This is coming from a formerly bi person (not important in this context)): i don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested. I also found ways to combat lust, if anyone is interested. (I’m talking archaeological evidence, miracles caught live, arguments against evolution, divine revelation, science, cosmology, fulfilled prophecy, evidence for the Bible outside of the Bible, God’s work in people’s lives, etc.)
Each time I see someone unironically call it grimdark I immediately know they are surface level watchers that let themselves get distracted by the dark lighting and explicit violence.
Because how can a trilogy of movies in which the main focus is returning hope back into the world be considered grimdark? Those movies are all about how trust and understanding are the right way to build connections and how those connections can make the world a better place. With the movie condeming those that refuse to trust and prefer to fear and hate.
I don't like the angle the story itself is trying to sell on him but I do think the reactions of the characters inside the story are realistic to what would happen to him in the real word.
Lex Luthor hates him because of his own internalized issues, using him as a scapegoat he can pin blame on. Pretending he hates him due to some higher purpose.
Bruce hates Superman because he doesn't understand him, and people fear what they don't understand. (and in this universe metas became common after Superman appeared so this Batman has no experience with superpowered beings, he didn't slowly increase the powerlevel of the powered being around him, he went from 0 to a 100, and that is scary)
The people who he has saved and cared for love him because they've seen him, they know him.
The people that hate him tend to be people in power or those affected by Black Zero.
He didn't get that much time to make the world know him, he was Superman for like 2 years only, compared to the 20+ he has in the comics.
He is this powerful being that sprung out of knowhere, that is bound to make people afraid, and no ones likes being afraid so they hate.
I think the most realistic part of the movie is the tv scene where people are sitting down and talking about weather he should be allowed to roam free or not.
As if it is moral to deny a sentient being freedom/ autonomy.
Because as much as it sucks to think about it is what would most likely happen if a superman appeared.
People say snyder superman is too angry or gloomy but who the fuck wouldn't if they were subject to hearing people treating them like an object and hating him?
