Similar to Batman Begins

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2013)

Potential spoilers. I've seen all the Superman movies and cartoons...collected the comic books growing up. I absolutely loved this interpretation of the character! It follows the same format as Batman Begins...Bruce Wayne started out wandering other countries to find his true calling; Clark Kent wanders the country in search of his calling. Batman Begins used flashbacks to Bruce Wayne's past to tell the back story...same with Man of Steel. Batman forged an alliance with Gordon in Batman Begins to fight crime; same with Superman and Lois Lane in Man of Steel. It was a nice twist to see her discover his true identity early in the movie. When he transformed himself into the traditional Clark Kent we all know and love at the end, I got goosebumps. When Lois gave him that knowing look at the Daily Planet because she knew his real identity, it reminded me of the smile that Gordon gave Batman at the end of "Begins" when he said he'd never have to thank him. One outstanding origin movie.
