Superman would never be as reckless as in MoS?

One thing people also don't seem to notice: See The Incredibles, X-Men, Watchmen, Civil War, Infinite Crisis, The Dark Knight Returns, etc? Many writers are doing this thing where the public just doesn't trust superheroes. They are more harm than good. In the comics, Superman has dealt with this many times. In the Justice League cartoon, they've hinted at this. When confronted with the possibility of godlike beings walking amongst us, we turn on them. I think that this is where they are going to take Superman in the movies and I think it's about time.

I understand your point but bad examples, X-men is meant to be about similarities to racism, Watchmen was writen 30 years ago so hardly 'writers doing this thing', and Civil War was a mess of a thought out plot (worse event have occured since New Warriors 'mistake' caused by a villain.

I can't see that kind of thing happing in a Superman film however, he is after all DCs star character, goto guy, the all american hero. You can't have people distrusting the all american hero. Which is why most people sided with Cap in Civil War and we all still think he's right, no matter what crappy ending Whedon came up with.

Not trusting Superman is what Lex Luthor is all about.  He's got the fuel to turn people against Superman, now. They can properly introduce him, now.  He couldn't go toe to toe with Supes on a physical level.  He's gotta take him on in the battlefield of public opinion.  And DC turns the public against Superman all of the time--even in cartoons.  It's no biggie.  Check out Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.  You CAN have people distrustin the all American hero.  It's a better plot than "Menace attacks but Superman defeats it because he's so powerful".

 

You can dispute me now, but sooner or later, you will join him in the sun.
