Maybe Man of Steel was critically doomed from the beginning.
It actually wasn't supposed to be about Superman. He isn't "Superman" yet in the movie. That's why the film is called Man of Steel and why they don't refer to him as Superman until near the end half hazardly.
In the Donner film we have a montage in the fortress of solitude to mold him into Superman. In this version it seems he is going to have to learn the hard way how to actually become "Superman"
While everybody seems to be focusing on Batfleck for BvS, I'm more interested to see how they handle the development of Clark Kent/Superman and if he actually becomes "an ideal to strive towards."
