I seem to be one of those adults that kind of likes the 'kid' aspect in some of my movies. Sure, some of my favourite films tend to be things like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Predator, but sometimes I'd rather the feeling of childlike wonder and amazement from a comic book movie. If I wanted death, despair and reality I'd just watch Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. Then again, to each their own. The new Flash series, though? I am ALL about that!A lot of the reason I didn't like Man of Steel also comes down to the whole No Kryptonite thing, though. Superman has always been a character who could hold his breath in space as long as he wanted. Making air his weakness just rubbed me the wrong way. They kept saying they wanted more 'realism' and then took away a weakness to radioactive materials and kept the laser eyes. It made about as much sense to me as casting Goku as Moody Teen Gohan in Dragon Ball: Evolution.
I have read superman comics and he has serious since he was rebooted in the 80a, and man of steel wasn't moody, the movie was about Clark Kent finding his place in the world and discovering his identity. Also comic book movies don't have to be silly, it's called having variety and if DC doesn't do things differently then it gets repetitive.
