| HENRY CAVILL AS SUPERMAN |
In "Man of Steel" Superman kills Zod at the end of the movie. This has stirred controversy amongst Superman fans that believe Superman shouldn't kill no matter what the situation.

In an article by Digital Spy(read it here) David Goyer the film's writer, explains the decision for Superman to kill Zod by saying, "So the situation was, Zod says 'I'm not going to stop until you kill me or I kill you.' The reality is no prison on the planet could hold him and in our film Superman can't fly to the moon, and we didn't want to come up with that crutch."
Goyer says that he knew that the ending was going to be controversial and that they didn't do it to be "cool".
Personally, I disagree. If they really wanted to get rid of Zod they would have had Superman send him back to the Phantom Zone like he did his other soldiers.
They chose for Superman to kill Zod at the end of the movie. He didn't need to. They wanted a controversial ending and they got it. Instead of a story on Superman we're getting a gimmick for both movies:
MAN OF STEEL= WATCH THE NEW GUY PLAYING SUPERMAN
BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN= COME SEE BEN AFFLECK AS BATMAN
As a Superman fan, I don't like it but there's still Superman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited if you want some great Superman characterization.
