VIDEO ESSAY: Why Can't Hollywood Understand Superman?

Why can't Hollywood seem to get Superman right? What needs to change before we understand him?

I was at a party a few months ago and all of the attendees were asked if they sided with Batman or Superman. Out of over 100 people, I was the only one who sided with Supes. 

Why can't we seem to understand what makes Superman a good character? What's changed in the most recent adaptions to make him so...unrelatable? 

Check out my video essay on the subject:

@Blockbusted -

I don't disagree with anything in the video. I will say I saw a good version of Superman Monday at 8 pm on the CW. If Hollywood cannot understand Superman, perhaps they should ask Vancouver to explain the Man of Steel.

Agreed! Cap and Supes are the same character at their cores. Superman is the light and Bats is the dark. There is plenty of conflict to be had with his struggle to save everyone and attempt to be normal out of the costume.
