James Gunn’s Superman is literally just Man of Steel + Krypto.

No origin story, fine. But we’re still doing:
>Superman conflicted about being alien/human
>Public distrust
>Military interference
>Lex Luthor manipulating perception
>Big gray-suit villain (Engineer = Faora 2.0?)

We’ve had 5 Superman movies since 1978 and Lex Luthor is the main villain in 4 of them.
And that’s not even counting the TV shows recycling the exact same story.
Why is DC so creatively bankrupt they can’t even pick a different villain?
Brainiac? Parasite? Mongul? Even Mr. Mxyzptlk would be a breath of fresh air.
And don’t even start with “it’s different this time.” Every reboot says that.
This is just another "he wants to be human but he’s too powerful" plot disguised as deep philosophy.
How many times can they recycle this before people admit Superman is boring?

>“He’s not like other Kryptonians, he’s special… again.”
>Every Superman movie ever

Superman will never escape Lex Luthor and Batman will never escape the Joker.
Modern cape movies are just eternal reruns.

Imagine being a kid today and thinking Lex Luthor is the only villain Superman has.
No Brainiac, no Mongul, no Bizarro, no Eradicator, no Darkseid… just bald Zuckerberg every damn time.

American cinema has long become as creatively bankrupt as the Chinese one, which basically relies on Journey to the West, Three Kingdoms, and WW2, except in the US it isn’t just government bureaucracy and censorship preventing creativity, it’s just greedy jews rubbing coins between their fingers unless it’s a reboot or a remake

Kids at least deserve a mean-spirited Lex Luthor who is a bald business mogul.
Zoomers had to grow up with Eisenberg's greasy haired babbling buffoonery.

>Speech about responsibility
>Public turns on him
>Lex Luthor monologues

Lex will try and shoot supahman with a kryptonite bullet and shoots Krypto instead so the movie get weepy over a mutt.

He's a fantastic character, and better than the superhero which is the norm when it comes to supervillains and their Mary Sue enemies. Luthor is a multifaceted person.
>Brainiac? Parasite? Mongul? Even Mr. Mxyzptlk would be a breath of fresh air.
It would be CGI slop
>And don’t even start with “it’s different this time.” Every reboot says that.
But it can actually be true.
