Man of Steel marked not only the return of Superman to the big screen, but also the beginning of the so-called DCEU, the DC Universe in theaters. During his panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, screenwriter David Goyer commented on some of the most controversial points of the production, recalling that an initial idea was a more “realistic” approach for the hero, just as done with Batman alongside Christopher NolanHowever, the alien nature of Superman added some difficulties that the team had not encountered in Batman, such as imagining how the real world would be affected by the appearance of an alien, which in Goyer's words would be “the greatest event in history of humanity ”.After discussing some of the decisions made by the team, the writer started talking about the tornado scene in which Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) watches his father Jonathan (Kevin Costner) get taken away by a tornado. For Goyer, the question was more about the hero's inexperience than the fear of revealing his identity. “People have to remember that Clark must have been 17 at the time. He had not been tested and did not know the extent of his powers. (...) And on the other side he has his father in his head saying ‘you have to be very careful’ ”.Another point in the film that generated controversy among the audience was the conclusion of the fight between Superman and Zod (Michael Shannon), in which the hero kills his enemy. Claiming that he understands people who don't like this outlet, David Goyer went back to talking about the lack of experience of this specific version of the hero. “There is a rule that Superman does not kill, but that is a rule imposed in a fictional world. (...) But this is an immature Superman who just learned to fly. (...) He does not know the extent of his powers and is fighting someone who would never stop. ”Pondering the fact that there are risks of not pleasing any decision made in the construction of a story, the screenwriter revealed that this moment would be Superman's way of establishing his rule of never killing. "The intention is that he would be in that terrible position and then vows never to do that again," he said.At the end of the conversation, David Goyer revealed that he came to think of an alternative to the possibility of not being able to kill Zod. According to the author, the solution found by Superman would be to put the villain in one of the Kryptonian ships and send him into space. "But it would be a lame excuse compared to what we were doing so far," he says.The Crow: The City of Angels was a lesson on how not to adapt HQ, says David GoyerDavid Goyer recalls creative freedom in the production of Blade: The Vampire HunterSee the daily highlights of the San Diego Comic-Con 2020 scheduleFrustration and surprises: how was our virtual visit to the first online Comic-Con#TBT Podcast: Forlani and Hessel recall comics and misses from Comic-ConComic-Con @ Home: how to watch San Diego Comic-Con panels from homeCheck out the full coverage of San Diego Comic-Con on the OmeletSan Diego Comic-Con @Home takes place between July 22nd and 26th, with panels and advertisements made available to the public on the internet.
