It's not just a lack of comic relief... it's that it's completely joyless in every way.

You're far too young to be this bitter and angry at the world....
I'm reading that with Roy's voice. Heck, I read everything you post in a laconic Irish accent.

So I finally watched Man of Steel...

But, incidentally, on the power scales presented, how the hell is Batman NOT going to get squished like a bug is this sequel?
Because being Batman is the greatest super power in the DC universe.

In the movie, as presented, where would we have picked up at all that Superman is opposed to killing? It wasn't there. It's like he just screamed NOOOOOOO after killing the bad guy for no reason. And while we fans know Superman isn't supposed to kill, not once was that actually a factor in the movie as presented. Someone who had never heard of Superman before would have been completely lost as to why that scene played out the way it did.
THIS is my real problem with the movie. I don't like their interpretation of Superman, mind you, but it's that for the big climatic moment of the film, there's no set up, and no follow through. It's a poorly made movie.

Hmm, thought I'd posted here.
I finally watched this just a few weeks ago, for the first time.
Loved it. It was absolutely NOTHING like what I was expecting, and it blew me away (in a positive way).
Superman bores the hell out of me normally. If it wasn't for Snyder's participation I wouldn't have bothered with it.
I love what he did for this film. I LOVE the re-imagined Krypton, it was spectacular, and also gave me such a great Star Wars vibe, one that I wish the prequels had given.
I really enjoyed it overall. Even with Snyder, I wasn't expecting to like it THIS much.
I bought it for full price on release day, and it took me awhile to finally get around to watching it. I'd been thinking I'd probably wasted my money when I should have waited on it, but after seeing it, it was totally worth the full price.

Indeed.
This movie was made explicitly to appeal to people like you and Cheets who have that attitude.
With all the positives and negatives that brings.

It really feels like this is a "it's not what I usually expect out of Superman, therefore it must be good".
Fortunately I've also gotten to see people who're also "meh" on Superman call it a bad movie, so it's not a unanimous thing there.

Just finished watching it but for the most part, this is where I am. I will say I hate the cinematography outside of the fight scenes. They need to slap the cameraman then fire them. Dollies exist for a reason. Trying to let my thoughts simmer.So I finally watched Man of Steel...
And never have I been so conflicted about a movie.
