Seven years have passed since the last Superman film \u2013 33 years since arguably the last good<\/i> Superman film. We didn’t expect them to get it right this time. Not with a darker tone, and not with the director of 300<\/i> in charge. But here’s the thing: Man of Steel<\/i> looks great. Dark superhero movies may be falling out of vogue, but producer Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder’s unique, mature take on Superman may have finally nailed down the most intriguing and exciting aspects of the character’s story. Henry Cavill might go down at the definitive Superman, which might lead to a lucrative new franchise for Warner Bros.<\/p>\n
