Superman has a problem. Clark Kent is not depressed like Bruce Wayne. He’s not ironic like Tony Stark. He’s just nice, too nice. A klutz. Superman, on the other hand, has the opposite problem. He’s invulnerable, except for the chunk of kryptonite that turns up now and then. Like his meek alter ego, he’s wholesome. He keeps himself busy helping old ladies across the street, and whisking Lois Lane out of harm’s way. Where’s the jeopardy? All of this adds up to a franchise in trouble. While Batman, Warners’ other superhero blockbuster, has been cleaning up at the box office, Superman has been struggling. Enter Christopher Nolan, the king of dark, moody reboots, trying to inject a little healthy darkness into the series, and Zack Snyder, the action-meister trying to regain his form after the unfortunate Watchman. Add a budget of $175 million, Nolan collaborator, writer David Goyer, as well as a bunch of new faces, and Warners has a shot at a hit. This is not your parents’ Superman. The setting is Krypton before it’s blown to bits, which gives the film a science-fiction feel, although there’s a surprising amount of character development for a comic book movie, recalling the last Spiderman. Fans will welcome back Superman’s father, Jor-El, played by the phone throwing Russell Crowe; the ur-damsel in distress, Lois Lane, played by Amy Adams; Superman’s Earth daddy (Kevin Costner), young Supe’s Earth mom (Diane Lane); and the evil, villainous Zod, standing in for Lex Luthor, played by my favorite, Michael Shannon. We’re presenting the picture in 3D, naturally, although the early show on Saturday night will be 2D, for those who prefer hurtling bodies to remain on the screen instead of their laps.—PB
