It’s hard to keep a good (super) man down. Ben Affleck certainly had some difficulty defeating the Man of Steel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the only thing that could actually kill Kal-El was Lex Luthor’s Doomsday, the monster he created using Zod’s corpse. But is Superman really dead? It certainly doesn’t look like he is, because Henry Cavill is currently working on his superhero physique in preparation for the Justice League movies!
Cavill recently posted a photo on his official Instagram account revealing that he has just completed one week of “training” to prepare for his role in Justice League. The actor shared that his regimen included “7 days, 9 workouts and a whole lot of food!” In addition to that, Cavill included the

The film begins with Bruce Wayne, Batman, recalling his parent’s murder. We are introduced to an older dark Batman who brands and kills criminals. Throughout the film, we are reminded of the destruction that superman has caused in Metropolis when he indirectly destroyed the city. Lex Luthor takes advantage of the situation by manipulating Batman to hate Superman (Clark Kent), and capturing Superman's mother forcing the heroes to fight each other. Furthermore, the character Bruce Wayne, in Batman v Superman (BVS), illustrates a clear example of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of evidence of flashbacks, impulsive behavior and his inability to sleep.

Summarize the 4 main points from the documentary that were most surprising or interesting to you
When people think of heroes, the first thing that comes to mind is someone like Superman, with incredible powers and a heroic mindset. A more unlikely hero would be someone like Harry Potter, a little boy who is thrown into a world of magic without knowing his way around and finding out that he is famous for something he can’t even remember. Some heroes don’t even have superpowers, like the man from ‘The Man in the Water’, a hero who traded his life for five others. But one thing that they all have in common is that they create change.
He is still recovering from the loss of the so called “love of his life” Rachel Dawes, who died during the events of the “The Dark Knight.” His only company is his loyal butler Alfred, who still looks after Bruce & manages Wayne Manor. Bruce is waiting at this point, waiting for something to do, waiting for something bad to happen so that he can don the mask and cape again as Batman. As Alfred quotes during the film “You’re not living – you’re waiting. Hoping for things to go bad again.” But when a new threat to Gotham emerges out of the darkness of the sewers underneath Gotham, one which the Harvey Dent Act can’t protect Gotham against, Bruce Wayne comes out of hiding as Batman to fight Bane & his army. What he has been waiting for, waiting for over 8 years for has finally come. “If this man is

In the 2013 film Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, an up and coming British actor, portrayed Kal-El. Mr. Cavill brought a cool and quiet, yet at times very detached and alien performance that did not elicit a similar sentiment from me as did Mr. Reeve’s portrayal. This was due in part to the story being retooled in favor of a bold retelling of his origins. The story now focused on him being an alien from a distant planet whose attempts to integrate into society are further complicated because he feels humanity is not ready to accept him for who he is and what that represents. The change to the storytelling dynamic also afforded a closer look at the main protagonist’s relationship with both his birth father, Jor-El and his adoptive father on Earth, Jonathan Kent. Also, in comparison to Superman The Movie, the opening sequences of Man of Steel provided a more intimate portrait of the last days of Krypton, his home planet. This of course served to better flesh out more of the backstory for Kal-El and provided new insight into what had become a relatively one dimensional character in the comic books over the years. The apparent aim was to create a connection with this larger than life character that we as the audience would come to understand in ways that went simply beyond knowing the persona of Superman.
To begin, Man and Superman portrays many themes throughout its storyline, but the theme that seemed to be most compelling from the audience’s reaction and unsurprisingly, the characters, was morality; the morality of relationships between male and female differentiating the “superman” nomenclature the title entails. The “regular” man as Jack Tanner would exclaim, did not want to see English women become independent, self-sustaining, and a leader. However, still in the words of Mr. Tanner, would embrace women maturity in her ability to lead her own life without an individual or a group of them dictating her morals and actions. It is safe to say that women empowerment is also a secondary theme. As the audience becomes to watch the storyline develop, Jack Tanner would be the main antagonist to Ann Whitefield’s protagonist positioning due to her father’s will, his sacred wishes. The will also serves as a character bind implicating all other antagonists to a frenzy between one another over the theme of morality, and the ambiguity of a man and superman begins to clear.
