The Evil Superman Discussion Thread

[I'm a Fish]

Pretty much this. Superman isn't a character for Snyder, at least not since DC let him use Batman. Superman is just a plot device. And let's be honest, Zack Snyder won't be able to give us a better Evil Superman than The Boys did, Homelander is great and is all the evil Superman I needed.

Yeah, Homelander is great because you can understand how he got to be so messed up and still hate his guts. The happiness and acceptance he desperately desires is well within his grasp, but his stunted emotional development prevents him from ever achieving it.

The best villains are villains who are self-destructive, their greatest enemy isn't really the hero, but themselves. For those kinds of villains, the hero is more or less a vessel the villain projects their insincerities onto.
