When Jor-El was giving Kal-El a brief history lesson on Kryptonian space exportation, We saw Kryptonian astronauts in their space suits. Did anyone notice that the suits looked a lot like Lex Luthors Armor?

Shit was trash. Bitch ass fool running around scared to fight throughout the whole movie destroying people's property. Then when army trained aliens come this nonfighting chump can throw hands with them and win...get real. They could have shown dude combat training/practicing at some point or something.

Yeah, I felt that way too, BEFORE Zod pointed it out, how do several DNA-bred soldiers lose to a "mongrel" since Kal was a "normal" birth, for that matter HOW THE FUCK did Jor-El actually initially beat Zod in the beginning back on Krypton, he was a scientist, that ish is like McCoy fucking up Kirk, like Neil De-Grasse Tyson fucking up Anderson Silva, Kal growing up here on Earth vs Zod & his people being here a few days should have been a much bigger advantage.

Obviously you two don't know shit about the first two Supes. They were quite opposite from being campy.

But anything would be better than this 2 1/2 hour video game mixed with bullshit dialogue they attempted to pass off as a film.

From IGN

Superman: Stone Cold KILLA
Man of Steel has some fans all worked up, but should they be?

Man of Steel has been out for a couple of weeks now, so we figure it's pretty safe to run this story now. But that said, spoilers follow. Don't read any further if you don't want to be spoiled on the end of the film!

Anyway, the manner in which Superman deals with General Zod in the end -- which is to say, in a neck-breaking, won't-see-him-no-more kind of way -- has upset some fans. "Superman doesn't kill!" they yell, while buying a ticket to their second, or third, showing of the film. I admit to being bothered by that development myself after seeing the film (the first time, not as much the second), and I'm not alone in this regard on the IGN staff.

But as our own Joey Esposito pointed out recently, Superman does kill. Not often, and not without remorse and great provocation, but he has done the deed on several occasions. So let's take a look at a few of the more noteworthy murder-death-kill moments on Kal-El of Krypton's résumé…

(Note: We're only talking about mainstream continuity Superman (Supermen?) here. So any accidental punching of Lois Lane into space or the like doesn't count.)

Superman Kills Titan
The gosh-gee-whiz approach of Smallville's Clark Kent went out the Phantom Zone window in the sixth-season episode of the show, "Combat." When Clark found himself in battle -- in a Fight Club, actually! -- against Titan, played by none other than the WWE's Kane, it was a clash of the, uh, titans. Titan was another villain mistakenly freed from the Phantom Zone, and while killing was abhorrent to Clark, once the bald-headed baddie got to throwing a midriff-exposed Lois around, well… enough was enough was enough. A super-punch from Clark caused Titan to fall on his own Wolverine-esque, possibly copyright-infringing bone claw, killing him in the process. This was not as direct a kill as some of the others Superman has committed, but it was a kill nonetheless.

And you know what they say: The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club. Or killing Phantom Zone bad guys.


Superman Kills Zod
In John Byrne's seminal reboot (before it was called that) of the Man of Steel after DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths, Superman was faced with the unthinkable: A world where everyone has been killed by General Zod and his Kryptonian cohorts Quex-Ul and Zaora. Luckily for Supes, this was an alternate universe so it wasn't really his world that had suffered this fate, but still… Zod was too much of a threat. So in order to prevent him from ever terrorizing his own universe, Superman busted out the kryptonite and then just stood there while he watched the three criminals die. Quex-Ul and Zod expire while grappling with each other in one last fit of hateful deceit, while Zaora pitifully begs for her life and offers to show Superman "pleasures such as you never dreamed," Lady Shylock style.

And then he buries the three of them. Damn, son.

Superman Kills Doomsday
This is the most obvious of Superman's kills. As the mindless beast known as Doomsday rampaged across America -- as unstoppable as a torrent of speculative comics-buyers looking for a copy of the black, bagged issue of Superman #75 -- Kal-El realized that he must destroy the creature for the greater good. And so it was that the pair fought it out on an epic scale, eventually beating each other to death in the streets of Metropolis. (And then they both came back to life a few months later.)

Superman Kills Two Thugs
This is probably more a case of criminally negligent manslaughter, but it's so weird I had to include it. In an episode of the old George Reeves Adventures of Superman series called "The Stolen Costume," the Man of Tomorrow takes a rather backwards approach to disciplining a pair of common crooks. Since the criminals know his true identity (due to the titular stolen costume), Superman leaves the duo on the wintery top of a mountain where they can't reveal his secret to anyone else. He departs, and the crooks promptly fall to their deaths when trying to climb down. Later, when Clark relates their fate to a friend, he has a bit of a chuckle about the whole experience!


Superman Kills Zod (Again)
Even the Christopher Reeve Superman was a killer! After depowering Zod, Ursa and Non in the Fortress of Solitude in Superman II, the Man of Steel could've just carted the trio off to the proper authorities, right? (Which did happen in an old TV cut of the film.) But no, he instead crushes Zod's hand and then throws him into the frozen depths of the Fortress, allows Non to jump to a similar death, and watches with amusement while his girlfriend murders the female Kryptonian in cold blood. As Zod once said, this super-man is nothing of the kind…


These are just a few instances of Superman tucking his enemies in for the big sleep. Can you recall any others?

Re: Official Man Of Steel reviews! Love it or Hate it! Discuss it here! MERGED! SPOI

Lol, I REMEMBER that ep "The Stolen Costume" of the old George Reeves series!

I remembered thinking that Clark got NO TYPE of security in his building, exactly WHY wouldn't any secret closet NOT BE closed by something that requires Supes to open it, a steel rod or something equivalent?!?

And LOL @ Clark running up steps to his "Superman" theme since he can't be seen flying w/o his suit!

I USED to think that, but after watching it again you can call it campy when compared to now, but not really in its era, "dark" superheroes would not have gotten real traction back then, Tim Burton's "Batman" prepped us for now.

THIS is campy!

Funny that The Dark Knight Rises ended similarly....with Batman trying to get rid of a bomb.

They say it was actually a tribute to this scene from the original "Batman" movie with Adam West & Burt Ward, it's often forgotten that Lee Meriwether played Catwoman in it.

I've watched her for reviews on GoT and interestingly to note her favorite character that she feels is just really mis-understood and is naturally a good guy is Jamie Lannister.Soo.....

Bottom-line it seems that IF you went into Man Of Steel expecting a certain-type of Superman then you were far more likely to be disappointed. However, if you were one of the people like myself that went in expecting NOTHING then it seems that you are far more likely to not be disappointed.

Could MoS have been done better? Absolutely! There are few works that can getting away with not being better.

I'm fairly certain in the next installments that the writers/producers/directors will try to appease the critics views by showing a more CARING Superman.BTW there is no doubt in my mind had they done that then the criticisms would have been given in the opposite direction.

I think its rather funny how people just wanted him to put on the suit and then know exactly what to do and how to act as this polished version of Superman right out the gate. BTW, there are multiple super-villians, your outing yourself to the world, military is on your ass, your meeting a version of your parents for the first time and yeah your getting introduced to some of your new powers too. So...handle all of that, make sure not to break anything and yeah save a bunch of people and property in the process...

Trying to find that Balance for a character like this is really hard and I personally appreciate the first effort and look forward to the next.I think if folks let this thing play out we will get to see the character grow more "naturally" into what we're familiar with.

I'm not the biggest fan of MOS but I can definitely agree with this. I just wish more attention were give to communicating these story elements to the audience. It seems that story took a backseat to aesthetics. Perhaps this why Batman was better suited for the Nolan team. No substantial CGI to distract them during the conception of the film. I mean, it took them 2+ years for MOS to be released and this is what we got??

The superman premise is dumb as hell. A white dude that gets his energy and power from sun gtfhwtbs. More like getting burned alive. White people are ice people black people are sun people.

Whether there is blood and gore is dictated by the rating of a film.

Now I see why people are upset with the movie. Listening to the myriad reviews, the crackas were wanting a fuckin' religious experience with their god, SM. As they made comparisons between the movie & the comics, I couldn't help but notice how emotional they were. Bitch said after she read a SM comic, she'd want to go out & be a better person. WTF? From a fuckin' comic book?

So because Snyder didn't allow them to have their monthly period-induced emotional religious experience, they didn't like the movie.
