Recently, according to a poll conducted at random, netizens have come forward to select Henry Cavill‘s Man of Steel as the best movie over MCU’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Hugh Jackman’s Logan, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The DC movie has received overwhelming support and according to many critics, the movie deserves high praise as it was one of a kind.
Man of Steel Set the Groundwork For DC Universe To Shine
In Man of Steel, Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman laid the foundation for the DC Extended Universe, DCEU to succeed. The 2013 movie acted as the catalyst for a shared cinematic universe that included a variety of DC Comics characters. Directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan the Superman movie was intended to be reimagined for contemporary viewers.
Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman explored his battle with his identity and place in a society that both feared and revered him, bringing a more realistic and tormented character to the big screen. His ancestry, his connection with his adoptive parents, and his earliest run-ins with supernatural threats were all explored in the movie.
The success of the movie paved the door for many DCEU films, such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and others. Along with Man of Steel, these films established the tone for a darker and more intricate cinematic universe in contrast to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was also growing and was also the peak comic franchise at the time.
It’s important to note that the DCEU has garnered conflicting assessments and has had difficulty creating a consistent and coherent universe. While some DCEU movies earned favorable reviews from critics and performed well at the box office, other iterations of the franchise had variable box office success.
