Great movie. It's a damn shame it didn't succeed.

I think it needs to be said that Ben Afflec is not the reason that Daredevil failed hard. For one thing, the choice of build for the Kingpin was terrible. Taking the actor's skin color out of the equation (because him being black isn't the problem), he didn't have the body mass or the attitude to be the Kingpin. I'm sorry, but when I see the kingpin, I expect to see someone who is as BIG as they powerful. There was also too much creative liscensing I think, but this is about the time that they had the Fantastic Four and I hated that movie franchise too.
Man of Steel, I liked it. But I think that Superman being a symbol of hope represents Jor-El's idea of hope for both Krypton and Earth, of what the two societies could achieve together one day. I think that I am also glad that they went in this direction, rather then making some boring origin story of superman. They attempted to tie in specific moments of Superman's past on Earth with moments of his modern day life. It wasn't Superman Returns bad, and that is what I wanted more then anything out of the movie. It was everything that I expected.
Things like originality are concepts that are becoming more foreign to movie producers and directors. So taking movies like Man of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness into new directions will be the key to making movies enjoyable for everyone.

I still don't get the hate for Superman Returns. Sure, it had a lot of problems, but so did the original Superman movie which is inexplicably loved.
Edguy:
The standard for Superhero movies were considerably higher when Returns came out, than when the original came out, tho.
Method of Madness:
That may be true, but that doesn't make the movie any better, and the standard for Superman movies wasn't high at all when Returns came out. If you can excuse the original movie, you can excuse Returns (not that you're obligated to excuse either!)
