DC Films still doesn’t know what to do with Superman, the studio reportedly is unsure how to make the character “relevant to modern audiences”
is being rebooted, Harley Quinn is starring in her own supervillain spin-off, a new Batman is on the horizon and the Joker is more popular than ever; the studio is even giving Green Lantern another shot.
It’s interesting that Superman, a character instinctively associated with the word “superhero,” is proving difficult to adapt to film in the age of superhero saturation. Is the character’s godlike powers and righteous attitude really too alienating for modern audiences? Snyder genuinely tried to redesign Superman’s costume into something more sleek and intimidating, but there’s not much you can do with an outfit that looks like pajamas, especially when it’s as iconic as Superman’s suit. You can’t make too many changes, and you certainly can’t make it look “cool.”
But Superman occupies a very specific niche, a serious symbol of hope dwelling inside a bizarre universe. He doesn’t seem to share Batman’s malleability; the Dark Knight can switch between deadly serious and absurd to suit the times, while Superman remains stubbornly consistent.
