Gunn doesn't understand Superman
One of Zack Snyder's merits, which we can all agree on, is having made a character who can sometimes feel one-dimensional in the comics truly interesting. He managed to perfectly convey his joyfulness, his desire to help others, and his supernatural perfection, balancing it with his doubts, his powerful physicality, and his ability to be intimidating.
Gunn doesn’t understand this. From the trailer, he gave us a Superman who is gloomy, sad, bleeding, and weak. A Superman who doesn’t convey the joy the character should embody. All it would take is reading a comic to understand.
Snyder’s Superman is the kind of Superman you could see saving a kitten while at the same time sacrificing himself for the good of the world.
Gunn’s Superman doesn’t care about humanity; he is tired and defeated. There’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. I could be wrong, and maybe I hope I am. But the premises are not promising. Perhaps it’s because, when you’re used to perfection, everything that comes after feels bland.
