🔴 Jonathan Kent

1. Gives Confusing Moral Lessons

• Suggests Clark should let kids die to protect his identity “maybe” — completely opposite of his comic book role as a moral foundation.

2. Tells Clark Not to Help

• Instead of encouraging Clark’s heroic instincts, he suppresses them, damaging the classic father-son dynamic.

🔴 Lois Lane

1. Too Reactive

• Lacks the bold, fearless, investigative nature she’s famous for. 

• Their relationship develops unnaturally fast, without the strong foundation of banter, trust, or friendship.

🔴 General Issues in Snyder’s Superman World

1. Tone is Too Grim, Joyless

• Superman’s world is typically filled with wonder and optimism. Snyder’s is bleak, gray, and fatalistic.

2. Massive Destruction with No Weight

• Metropolis suffers 9/11-level damage in Man of Steel, but there’s no emotional or human focus on consequences.

3. Lack of Public Trust

• The world views Superman as a threat or god-like figure, rather than a protector of the people.

4. Doesn’t Learn or Grow Much

• There’s little character growth across the films. Classic Superman constantly learns, matures, and refines his ideals.

5. His Symbol is Rewritten

• The “S” stands for “hope” on Krypton in Snyder’s version. In the comics, it evolves into a symbol for Superman through his actions.

I doubt it’ll be worse than the miserable wooden acted Snyder movies. It would seriously have to go some to be worse. They strayed way too far from the character to even be able to call that Superman.
