As a result, DC's attempts to make Superman more like Batman, dilute Superman's intrigue as a distinctly different type of hero figure. However, while Batman has always been a troubled figure, Superman has always existed as his jubilant and life-affirming counterpart. RELATED: 10 Things About Superman You Missed in Man of SteelĮvidently, following the success of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the DCEU wanted to capitalize on the somber tone that seemed to be drawing in new audience members. In doing so, Reeve infused Clark Kent with a relatably awkward sensibility and provided the films with a whole lot of heart. Christopher Reeve, who popularized the hero as a fully-fledged film star, leaned into Superman's corny sensibility. In this way, Snyder's characterization of Superman wildly differentiates from past iterations of the caped crusader, which present Superman as optimistic and goofily earnest.
Through this depiction of outsider status, as well as the death of Kent's father (played by Kevin Costner), Snyder characterizes Superman as a kind of a loner, perpetually unsure of his place on the planet that he calls his home. As an alien originally hailing from the planet Krypton, Clark Kent, while having grown up on Earth, is presented as somewhat of an outsider in the human world. In 2013's Man of Steel, Snyder presents a version of Superman who struggles with his sense of identity as well as his patriotic duty. While critics and audiences alike praised Christopher Nolan's dark take on the Batman origin story, Zack Snyder's attempts to darken the Superman comics failed to meet audience expectations. However, despite his cultural cache, the recent DC Superman films have failed to generate the same recognition as those of Marvel or Batman.

As the most universally acknowledged superhero, one would assume that Superman would garner more cultural relevance in the midst of the 2010s comic movie boom.
