Zack Snyder really seems like he's trying to gritty this thing into the ground

7. Surely not as cool as the Superfriends incarnation?!?

I agree, he looks good, but the overall look of the film (from what I've seen, and based on Man of Steel's look) is too self-serious for the subject matter.

At least, it seems like gritty ol' Zack is once again grittily making a gritty movie about grittiness that, by the way, includes superheroes. But don't call them that, and try not to use their names any more than absolutely necessary, and for god's sake don't let anyone think for a minute that it's a comic book movie!

Last time around, I kind of had the sense that he was embarrassed about his source material. That's why we got a gritty Jor-El movie, with a gritty cameo by Superman.

//bitterness off. I really hope that he doesn't screw this up!
