I hate that some writers and alot of comic fans think Superman should be more brooding and cynical just because its more "realistic" somehow.

Honestly, I think Superman is better hero than Batman simply because he never lets the actions of a few horrible people color his view of humanity.

Batman has seen some very terrible people do very terrible things. He thinks it's important to protect the innocent, but he has let the darkness embitter him just a bit.

Superman hears EVERYTHING. He hears a world that cries out in pain because of the atrocious acts of some of its inhabitants. He hears every child starving, every needy person ignored, every drop of innocent blood spilled.

And he STILL believes in the best of humanity.

He doesn't feel like that all the time. Sometimes, he lets the darkness get to him. But he always regains his hope in humanity. Superman always finds a way to save the day without having to compromise the beliefs he holds about the best of humanity.

Which is why the ending to Man of Steel completely misses the point of the character.

So it seems that Michelle MacLaren, who has done a bunch of TV directing, will be at the helm of the Wonder Woman film. It still feels a bit gimmicky for them to have deliberately gone after female directors and if the film fails female directors and female-led films will take a hit from a certain segment of the population, I expect. She has a good rep, though, so if the script isn't total crap it seems like it has a good shot.

I might pick some of these up.
