• Even though moviegoers flock to Man of Steel, not everyone was happy. In fact Mark Waid, the man who wrote Superman Birthright on which much of the movie is based, to issue with Superman not saving the people of Metropolis from Zod’s ship. If you’ve seen the movie, we can only assume tens of thousands of people died because of Zod, while Superman was on the other side of the world. There were other moments, too, according to Waid, that Superman should have shown more concern for the people around him, but didn’t. Waid complaint, however, is more about bad writing than a criticism of a Superman for a new generation. (Mark Waid)
