    ^Pretty sure Superman wasn't in the title of Man of Steel because of the lawsuit, but your point is valid. It's a bait in switch type of scheme that's really condescending.

      >Be proud of your characters DC! Don't hide them in realism or under other names

      I almost wonder if they do it 'cos stuff like that is associated with the comics, and since DC (and Marvel) are part of big megaconglomerates they're trying to distance the properties from the comics.... which are increasingly irrelevant. I know there's always been resistance to influence from the comics (I remember a big interview back when the first Ninja Turtles movie came out where Eastman commented that movie people wished the comic people "would just go away.") and maybe slipped sales of the books gives them the excuse they need to separate from them?

      Even the Marvel stuff flirts with this.... mostly design-wise, but the filmmakers seem to realize that folks just want to see a fight.

            David S. Goyer comments about the controversy surrounding Superman killing Zod in MOS:


            This is one area, and I've written comic books as well and this is where I disagree with some of my fellow comic book writers - 'Superman doesn't kill'. It's a rule that exists outside of the narrative and I just don't believe in rules like that. I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.

            Also our movie was in a way Superman Begins, he's not really Superman until the end of the film. We wanted him to have had that experience of having taken a life and carry that through onto the next films. Because he's Superman and because people idolize him he will have to hold himself to a higher standard.

              Not sure really sure why I did this.
              I'm not sure either. Why did I want a Marlboro cigarette and enjoy a Coca-Cola after seeing Superman II?

                Why MoS wasn't titled Superman, from Goyer himself:

                “I would say that the marketing began early on in that we decided not to call it Superman, that was very deliberate.”

                “That was Chris [Nolan] and I, Man Of Steel, and Warner Bros. said, ‘Why?” And we started talking about it, and we said, ‘We want a line of demarcation in the sand between the old and the new.’ We always knew we would be using the Superman glyph or the shield as we call it. But Man Of Steel was also supposed to represent our take, which was he’s a man, but he’s not made of flesh and blood, metaphorically he’s a man of steel. So that was sort of like the whole thing wrapped up in a nutshell.”

                      After Zod punches Superman the second time (once the battle takes to the air) and the camera pans to the right:


                      Immediently before he dodges the LexCorp truck Zod shoves towards him:


                      When Clark visits his mother, the previously mentioned Zod shove, and when they fall back to Metropolis:


                      After Zod discovers his heat vision and when Superman throws Zod into the satelite:


                      Right before Zod and Superman colide on the side of building:


                      Right after Superman destroys the World Engine:


                      When Superman is thrown through at least 6 buildings:


                      When Superman is chasing Zod (after he double-punches him):


                      When Superman gathers the strength to destroy the World Engine:

                          I picked up the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack today and watched a few special features. Very well-done and interesting.

                          PLUS, you get that AWESOME 75th anniversary toon by Snyder and Timm!
