Snyder has created a colossal, grandiose genesis for the Man of Steel, a titanic Moses-out-of-Nietzsche tale, a planet-clashing spectacle that is seen perpetually through a glowing, lens-flaring light: the opposite of the twilight of the gods – the daybreak of the titans. The origin myth is perhaps the most interesting part of any superhero story for some, the only interesting part. This is a 21st-century superhero who must steel himself against the agonies of being misunderstood by the people he is trying to help. He is referred to by his earthling name, Clark, or his Krypton name, Kal-El, or even as the "alien", by the frowning Pentagon brass. The word "Superman" is stutteringly or suspiciously pronounced, like "the bat man" in the Dark Knight movies. This is no English S, but a Krypton symbol denoting hope.
