Zack Snyder kicked off a new era for Superman and DC films with 2013\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23428458\/henry-cavill-superman-man-of-steel\"><em>Man of Steel<\/em><\/a>, a divisive reboot that followed in the gritty footsteps of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2018\/7\/16\/17570100\/batman-dark-knight-10th-anniversary\">Christopher Nolan\u2019s Batman trilogy<\/a> and focuses on the angst, self-doubt, uncertainty, and grief swirling within Henry Cavill\u2019s Superman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Man of Steel<\/em> prompted a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/movie\/man-of-steel\/critic-reviews\/\">incensed<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/2013\/06\/hollywood-blockbusters-cant-stop-evoking-911.html\">opinionated responses<\/a> when it premiered, but none of Snyder\u2019s choices in the film drew as much ire as the decision to <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/why-letting-superman-kill-kills-superman-1440140313\">have Superman kill Michael Shannon\u2019s General Zod<\/a> during their Metropolis-destroying battle. Their fight showcases the ruthlessness of the Kryptonian general\u2019s approach to battle and the greenness of Supes, who\u2019s never tangled with a threat like this before. It ends with Superman, who\u2019s only been a superhero for a few days, choosing to kill Zod to stop the general from killing a civilian family. Cavill\u2019s Superman lets out a haunting, anguished scream, immediately remorseful for what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Somehow, 12 years later, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/611560\/superman-james-gunn-dcu-reboot-review\">Gunn\u2019s rebooted <em>Superman<\/em><\/a> features a surprisingly similar moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note:<\/strong> Broad spoilers for the ending of the 2025 <em>Superman<\/em> below.]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/superman-commits-the-sin-that-set-off-endless-fights-over-zack-snyders-man-of-steel-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">During the film\u2019s finale, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dc\/612645\/lex-luthor-vs-mysterio-james-gunn-superman\">Lex Luthor arrogantly states \u201cbrain beats brawn\u201d<\/a> as he commands his Superman clone Ultraman in a fight against Big Blue. Superman parrots that line back at him before summoning Krypto to help save the day. During that back and forth I wondered where Superman\u2019s brain was during <em>Superman<\/em>\u2019s final fisticuffs, which sees David Corenswet\u2019s version of the character <em>also<\/em> kill his superpowered enemy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Or maybe, more accurately, I should be wondering about his heart. Superman doesn\u2019t seem to think twice about killing Ultraman. He doesn\u2019t ruminate on the idea of killing a being who looks just like him, and he doesn\u2019t sit with the emotions stemming from killing someone (especially his clone) the way <em>Man of Steel<\/em>\u2019s Superman does. Ultraman didn\u2019t ask to be created, nor did he ask to be sent after Superman as a pawn in Lex Luthor\u2019s schemes. He\u2019s not presented as being able to make his own choices, and can be read as innocent, in a way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Superman makes little effort to restrain Ultraman; he tosses out a generic \u201cyou don\u2019t have to do this\u201d line before, essentially, giving up on rescuing or helping him. Then he lets falling debris whack Ultraman into a black hole. (This is a film where Luthor creates a pocket universe \u2014 surely there\u2019s a scientist somewhere who can rehabilitate Ultraman and help him eventually lead a life away from Luthor\u2019s control.) Superman shows none of the empathy he showed for the mindless kaiju stomping Metropolis in an earlier battle, and doesn\u2019t attempt to find a peaceful solution \u2014 into the abyss he goes, and Gunn follows that moment with a quick gag between Mr. Terrific and Superman, before Supes flies off to deal with the next problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Comic book movies tend to play fast and loose with death, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2017\/11\/14\/16585682\/superman-death-explained-comeback-resurrection\">like the books they\u2019re based on<\/a>. It\u2019s entirely plausible that a black hole might not even kill Superman or his clone, and Ultraman may return for future <em>Superman<\/em> sequels. But Gunn\u2019s comment on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\/post\/DK3UcvERx7M\">Threads<\/a>, \u201cIn the DCU if you die, you&#8217;re dead,\u201d suggests he isn\u2019t thinking about beats like this in a weaselly, sequel-minded way. And the movie gives us no reason to believe a black hole <em>wouldn\u2019t<\/em> kill Ultraman or Superman. Frankly, Superman himself wouldn\u2019t know what he\u2019s condemning his double too, and doesn\u2019t seem to mind one way or the other. Whether Ultraman is dead, trapped in a different universe, or facing some other fate, Superman condemns him to it all the same. This clashes with Gunn\u2019s whole idea of what he wants his Superman to represent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Gunn has asserted his Superman is all about kindness, something \u201cwe have lost,\u201d according to an interview in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/james-gunn-superman-about-immigrant-came-from-other-places-1236307584\/\">The Sunday Times<\/a> leading up to the film\u2019s release. That kindness is prevalent throughout the film in the way Superman treats the vulnerable, even going out of his way to rescue a squirrel during one of the film\u2019s action sequences. (Which shows Superman has more sympathy for a squirrel than for a mirror version of himself.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The debate over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2017\/10\/12\/16466578\/superheroes-dont-kill\">whether superheroes should kill people<\/a>, or whether movie superheroes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2015\/7\/7\/8906589\/batman-kills-people\">should break their comic equivalents\u2019 no-kill rules<\/a>, often dominates discourse surrounding superhero adaptations. Snyder\u2019s <em>Man of Steel<\/em> decision seemingly went against the ethos of the hero; Superman is supposed to <em>save<\/em> people, not murder them. Zack Snyder\u2019s follow-up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2016\/3\/24\/11297926\/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice-review\"><em>Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/em><\/a> drummed up the debate even more, spotlighting a Batman who has no qualms about killing goons. (Snyder holds some, we\u2019ll say, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/zack-snyder-old-interview-batman-prison-rape-2016-5?op=1\"><em>interesting<\/em> views on Batman<\/a>, which I don\u2019t agree with.) Most iterations of Batman steadfastly abide by \u201cno guns\u201d and \u201cno killing\u201d rules, which makes his killing in <em>BvS<\/em> perhaps even more startling than Superman\u2019s <em>Man of Steel<\/em> neck-snap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170827114506\/http:\/\/www.mtv.com\/news\/2602726\/man-of-steel-divides-comics-community\">Comics creators were divided<\/a> on <em>Man of Steel<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170827114506\/http:\/\/thrillbent.com\/blog\/man-of-steel-since-you-asked\/\">its finale<\/a>. <em>Final Crisis<\/em> and <em>Doom Patrol<\/em> author Grant Morrison was ardently opposed to Superman killing: In 2013, in response to <em>Man of Steel<\/em>, they told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/life\/2013\/07\/28\/grant-morrison-sunday-conversation-batman-wonder-woman\/2586739\/\">USA Today<\/a>, \u201cI&#8217;m not sure about the killing thing [\u2026] I don&#8217;t know about you, but the last moral decision I made didn&#8217;t have anything to do with killing people. And I don&#8217;t think many of us ever have to make the decision whether or not to kill. In fact, the more you think about it, unless you&#8217;re in one of the Armed Forces, killing is illegal and immoral. Why would we want our superheroes to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Morrison is also the author of <em>All-Star Superman<\/em>, a seminal take on the character that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/why-all-star-superman-was-a-massive-influence-on-james-gunns-movie\">James Gunn points to as inspiration for his film<\/a>. This creates an interesting dichotomy: Morrison doesn\u2019t believe Superman should kill, but they inspired Gunn to write a Superman who does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">James Gunn hasn\u2019t explicitly stated his Superman has a no-kill rule; in fact, in a promotional video for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/video\/watch\/wired-s-50-most-searched-questions-james-gunn-and-the-superman-cast-answer-the-50-most-googled-superman-questions\">Wired<\/a>, he said, \u201cI&#8217;m not a purist in that respect. I think that if, for instance, he had to kill to protect somebody&#8217;s life, he would probably do that, even though that would be hard for him.\u201d You could certainly argue that Ultraman\u2019s death was necessary for protecting innocents, though in a much less direct and obvious way than Zod\u2019s death in <em>Man of Steel<\/em>: Killing him off is expedient, as Superman tries to end that fight and get ready for the next. But the \u201cthat would be hard for him\u201d part never lands in <em>Superman<\/em>. It certainly doesn\u2019t seem very hard for Corenswet and Gunn\u2019s Superman to let Ultraman die. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/dc\/613031\/does-superman-kill-2025-movie-james-gunn\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before DC Studios brought James Gunn and Peter Safran on board to reboot its cinematic universe, another auteur was given the reins more than a decade ago.
