Superman: the universe's greatest policeman , perhaps the most controversial superhero ever created.
In the most classic storylines, it is the immigrant classmate who becomes more ethnic even than the Juntic uncle, abandoning us to submission to law, order and regularity, while slapping us in the face with the arbitrariness of power through the complementarity and dialectical composition between paranoid forms of statism (superman) and capitalism (lex Luthor), where everything else before these two is deemed expendable.
In second readings and dark storylines, he is the absolute outcast who raises serious concerns about justice and sacrifices himself for a wretched humanity that owes him nothing, while the stories deliver lessons in anti-racism, Nietzschean philosophy and politics, such as on the management of power so as not to it turns into power or the inability to manage that very thing. That's the whole point of the injustice timeline that Snyder had the chance to make, but he washed it away in Batman V Superman (and canceled the sequel with superman evil in the alternate universe that Flash didn't save, etc., read comics or play injustice Well).
What a lot of people are saying lately: "fuck the snyder cut, it's no different from the regular movie, it's the same shit." What they're really saying: "I've never read a DC comic in my life, I don't care at all about how a story is rendered."
About Henry Cavill as Superman,YES, HE IS THE BEST SUPERMAN CASTING THAT COULD BE DONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD UNTIL HE DESTROYED HIMSELF, THERE COULDN'T BE WORTHY CASTING EVER, DC DID THIS AND EVERYONE RESPONSIBLE DESERVES TO GO TO THE PHANTOM ZONE. AND YEAH, I PROBABLY CAVILL IS A LITTLE NERDY AND SOFT, SOMETHING WE HAD GUESSED.
