I wonder what will be the scale of powers used by Superman in this film. Will he use powers that have been newly used in the past 20 years or so? Like that "Nova burst" that leaves him human for 24 hours or however long.

I understand people can rally behind Stupid things.But,the company was trying so damn hard to portray "cyclops bad!!! Extremist blah!!".yet nothing happened.They just made Avengers into the villains.
People have the right to like whatever they deem fit.just because me the writer wants a character to be seen as so called bad guy.doesn't mean people will.

"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
It was one issue.After that whenever manchester appeared it wasn't his mission of justice made to be his motive.He was just a one not mwahaha! Character that tries make superman kill.(Sheesh!everything about a characters life must spin around superman..dumb writing).And that one issue itself i think hardly made swarms of new superman fans.On the contrary people who see the paternalist high and mighty savior stayed that way and away(cue superman is boring chants).I tend to think morrison realised the later people can get behind Manchester.That's why superman and authority exists (other than ofcourse didio's trick).Superman and authority is basically a reconciliation of all those things.Clark going back to his old 20s and 30s avatar he came from, extending a hand to manchester.

"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
spoilers:end of spoilers
Yeah, making the clone sympathetic and being manipulated would be more interesting than a Homelander type of villain.
Hope for sequels to get that.
It's kind noticeable when Gunn is vague is because he is hiding something.

Doing Superman vs. Evil Superman with Lex in the mix is lame. It’s nothing new that we haven’t seen before, you could at the very least have put Metallo in the position that Engineer is in and give us hardcore Superman fans something to look forward to. Or you could just do Brainiac instead a dumb meta story where Superman beats up Homelander as an FU to all the Boys/Injustice fanboys. Funny as that is, Superman fighting Brainiac would do a far better job of making him cool. I am convinced that Superman 2025 will probably be a repeat of GOTG 1 at this point. I think Gunn will nail Superman, Lois, Jimmy, and the supporting cast, but the villains will be the weakest part. I reckon this will also end with a tease of Brainiac to set up a sequel. end of spoilers
Lex Luthor being the main antagonist with a Superman clone as physical threat was done in Superman IV, it might turn out better this time. I guess it's all up to execution for this alleged new take on Bizarro. If I'm not mistaken some posters wanted the character as villain for Legacy.
I just think it sucks that after 80 years we can’t seem to get any Superman villain that’s not Lex or Zod in a movie.
Superman has one of the best rogues galleries of any character but Hollywood just can’t get past Lex and Zod.
The Engineer may be Lex’s creation to fight Superman, similar to the character Hope in Azzarello and Bermejo’s Lex Luthor: Man of Steel story. But that still makes Lex the main villain.

It kind of comes with the territory of being the main character .
Well, I guess there are some critiques to that as far as the overall story message, though some also enjoy it.
But Superman and the Authority was basically peak Superman getting Manchester to acknowledge him...?

“Look, you can’t put the Superman #77s with the #200s. They haven’t even discovered Red Kryptonite yet. And you can’t put the #98s with the #300s, Lori Lemaris hasn’t even been introduced.” — Sam
“Where the hell are you from? Krypton?” — Edgar Frog
A bald Pa Kent? Where’s the respect for the lore
