That's not all there is to being a big guy.
Being big isn't about your size. It's about the loyalty of your hired guns.
Lotta guns for a hired loyalty

I trust Johns, but that was a bad move. Affleck really wants to do a good Batman film.

Sometimes I get this faint smell of a discontinued cereal from like, 2001 and it takes me aallllllll the way back
i hate that 2001 counts as "aallllllll the way back" i still think of 2007 as just a few years ago and not a fucking decade

If they had fifteen or so episodes instead of ten it might have worked.

The real question is how he and lois have sex. If his super breath can blow the atmosphere off a planet, then he should blast a hole through lois every time he cums.
his pull-out game is strong they just have to repair the roof frequently

Also
Super man is suppose to be hella American
A single man deciding who should live and die without trial reeks of dictatorship
That's the sentiment that let palps come to power.
Sometimes justice must be decided by the people.
Sometimes, the only solution is obvious.
In that right I think Supes killing Zod in MoS was a move he would make.
He's done it before.
When a villain has nearly ultimate power and is beyond containment or reason, prison is a non-option.
That's why the Phantom Zone exists, but he keeps the projector in his Fortress of Solitude, so it's not always possible to get to it without letting your enemy lay waste.
Plus scenes where he just get pissed the fuck off and tears through someone are dope.
Sure, he's not an inherently dark character, but the magnanimity he's known for is seen to fade when he becomes truly enraged, and that's I side of the character I love seeing.
It's only obvious when his views line up with our's
But that would be betraying his values
Everyone gets brought to justice
You don't get to make an exception just because a guy is tougher to deal with
That's his greatest struggle
Having the power of absolute dominance and choosing not to impose it
He has done it before, will do it again, and I like it when he does so long as the timing is right and it really is his best, or only, option.
Glad to hear your input though.
Post-Crisis Superman (aka the only good version of Superman) has only killed 2 times in his entire history. First time was when he executed three Kryptonian criminals that had escaped the Phantom Zone and the PZ projector was damaged and couldn't be repaired in time. He killed them by using Kryptonite, this act kinda broke him a bit and he self-exiled himself to space for some months.
The second time was against Doomsday when Supes had to pull out all the stops to stop it. Cost him his life (at that time) too.
In the story "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, And The American Way" Superman proves to the Elite (a team of supers that kill their villains in several gruesome ways) and to the reader that the old fashioned ways of the Superheroes is what inspires others into doing the right thing.
The pocket dimension thing got retcon'd by Infinite Crisis, which just leaves Doomsday, a completely nonsentient monster who debatably doesn't count. I'm cool with him killing off his most meh villain. which is good because how fucked would it be if he executed zod and then turned around to lecture black about the sanctity of life

It's not that it "isn't in him", it's that he chooses not to. You could put him into situations in which he'd be stupid not to 86 the villain, but that would be dark and gritty and depressing, and I'd rather Superman not be dark and gritty and depressing. If you want to finish off a villain at the end of the story, that's what the Phantom Zone was made for.
I guess I'm fine with some Supermen that are willing to cross that line, since he's among the most narratively flexible superheroes around, but I'd despise if it were a mainstay of how he's written. Killing does nothing to improve him as a character. He's not more interesting for it. His best stories don't involve him killing at all.
Also, fuck the New 52, except for Morrison's AC.

Of course not. Restraint and self imposed limits are integral to his character. Alan Moore even had him give up his powers and title as soon as he killed Mr. Mxyzptlk at the end of the Silver Age, because he stopped being Superman as soon as he failed to live up those morals.
And really, how disillusioning would it be that the hero who set the modern standard for being a hero can't live up to his own ethical code when it counts? You can have Batman kill without significantly altering the character, but you can't have Superman kill without losing part of who he is.
