As first world problems go, Superman fans have had their share during the post-2000 comic book movie boom. SUPERMAN RETURNS was a disappointment in 2007 and while very many liked MAN OF STEEL very much, there were some who were less enthusiastic about it. Even so, most agreed that the Zack Snyder film was a foundation upon which better sequels could be built and looked forward to MAN OF STEEL 2 where Superman would shine. Then San Diego Comic Con 2013 happened.
