I wish someone would come up to WB and just point out the John Byrne 1986 reboot comic MAN OF STEEL. It's really the best take at modernizing Superman while sticking true to what makes the character enduring. SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES is pretty much a great adaptation of that and may be the best take on that character. If WB could for once have faith in that property, we'd get something truly worthwhile.
The real shame is that it would now be harder to convince audiences of going to a Superman film after we've had SUPERMAN RETURNS, MAN OF STEEL and DAWN OF JUSTICE taint the brand. Three miserable films in a row. -

With this I completely agree. Superman isn't Batman. He doesn't sulk. He doesn't do the poor me thing. Not that he is "Pollyanna" about things. He just sees it will turn out right.
For my taste Superman Returns was closer to the way Supes is in the comics and animated movie. MoS was too brooding and dark. That works for Batman, but not Superman. In my opinion anyway. -

Singer was trying to bring Superman into the 21st century with relatable angst and intense emotional storylines, and honestly I don't care about your preconceived notions about what Superman should or shouldn't be. Interact with the movie on the movie's own level, don't criticize a film because it didn't fit your definition of what it should be.

That reaction seems seems pretty absurd, though, for him after he had abruptly left her (despite them apparently sleeping together) and the planet and was gone for years, of course she will have been angry and probably would have moved on.
I kind of hate when superheroes cause their own problems and then self-pity.
