Walt

Having reached the pleasant town of Portland, Oregon and having no actual crime to fight, Clark suddenly finds himself wallowing in self-doubt and asking “Must There Be a Superman?” The strongest man in the world has doubts about who he is and his role in the world and how he should help people.

Zack Snyder: Man of Steel ignore all previous Superman films

Walt

The Sucker Punch director plans to treat the Big Blue Boy Scout the way that Christopher Nolan handled the Dark Knight—as if none of the films that came before existed.
