Just like in Dan Jurgens’ “Death of Superman,” Batman v Superman ended with Kal-El/Clark Kent sacrificing himself to stop Doomsday, but a year and a half later, he was resurrected in Justice League and is back to protecting humanity.
Rather than given Henry Cavill’s Superman another standalone sequel, Warner Bros instead decided to pair him with a certain Caped Crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which generated even more polarization than its predecessor.
Seven years after Superman Returns failed to relaunch the Kryptonian’s film series, Man of Steel rebooted the character through a darker lens, drawing polarizing reactions from critics and fans.
There’s been talk for years about Man of Steel 2 moving forward, but with this latest Cavill update, it doesn’t look like that’ll happen anytime soon.
