MrSunday sucks so I won't even waste my time listening to his whining and complaining. Learn to enjoy a movie and stop being such a tool.

Just like those big flops of DC, Marvel likes to hide theirs.

What does Quicksilver have to do with this article at all???

Marvellites are so damn insecure. W e just cant even mention a DC property anymore without them having ciniptions.

"In news Batman is getting a new animated feature."

YEA BUT WOLVERINE IS JUST SO MUCH AWESOMER SAUCE

"Here is Superman #24 new variant cover."

THAT SUCKS. HULK #1.09 NOW IS SO MUCH MORE BITCHINGER OMG!!!!!

Fine. We get it. Marvel is your lord and savior.

Geeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz already.

Superman Returns is still more watchable than Man of Steel.

@ yaboi

What are 10 years old? Are you embarrassed that even other marvelite trolls disown you!

Glad to see this doesn't just blindly hate on Man of Steel like so many have. I agree with everything they had to say about previous installments prior to MOS, especially with Luthor (including Gene Hackman, I'm sorry, I just can't stand him).

Nothing like taking a nap and waking up to a flame war. MOS is the 2nd best CBM ever. TDK is the first. There. I said it.

As soon as I saw a young Clark jumping through the corn fields wearing "glasses" I knew Singer had NO IDEA what he was doing with Superman. He is an idiot basically

All I'll say is that the FIRST Superman still works for me above all the rest, even MoS.... which gave us the dumbest Superman ever... writers decided that "realistic" meant Superman didn't learn nearly enough growing up and has to resort to smashing up everything in the way to defeat Zod and his cronies... Even with holographic Jor-El helping him. Destroying Smallville and Metropolis was just destruction eye candy and by the end of the movie Superman had hardly any redeeming qualities nor did he inspire hope like the S is supposed to stand for. I suppose what many focused on and enjoyed was that this Superman "kicked major ass, yo!!!"
