If you read DC comics please point out a Superman take that has him saying someone has to die and there's no hope in this world. That's not a Superman line. And I'm not even much of a fan of the character.

If you can't watch Man of Steel and Wonder Woman and objectively see the differences in both their respective narratives and their development of their title characters, maybe you should read more critical articles, because they'll point you in the right direction.

It doesn't mean you can't like the films, but at least have an understanding of why one worked incredibly well and why the other is so divisive.
I thinks its a good representation of Superman in a modern skeptical society which DC has created. I understand his father not wanting his powers to get out. He wasn't Superman at that point and became Superman as the movie progressed.

Not the biggest Superman fan either and don't have any Superman comics. Mostly Batman, JLA, and Booster Gold.

I understand the difference in the character development between Man of Steel and Wonder Woman but I still feel they told similar stories. Both starting as a kid with parents trying to hide who they truely are and then becoming a hero by defeating an enemy from their orgin. Yeah Wonder Woman took more initiative when becoming the hero but Superman had alot more at risk and was more conflicted by the world around him.
