I hate you because you're 100% correct.
Hey, did you want the spunky innocence of the Disney Princesses to be forever tarnished in your eyes? No? Well, TOO BAD, thanks to this digital art courtesy of Mike Roshuk. Now let us never speak of it again.
I'll agree with you than Man of Steel handles the death better than Superman II, but I wouldn't hold the first two Superman movies as the benchmark for the character. Bryan Singer did, and that's how we ended up with Superman Returns.
I like your take. I do think Man of Steel is a worse Superman movie than it is just a movie, but my problem is that we had to waste out time watching Superman... kind of suck at being Superman.

Netflix would actually be a really smart move. They have money, they're hungry to take chances, and I'm sure they'd love a fantasy that could compete with Game of Thrones. Good call.

Let's go ahead and make Kayne Bat-Mite. He thinks he controls all of time and space anyways.
Ha! I think it's definitely the latter.
