Question.

Maybe he has FoS all around the globe 😆🤣

In a story about a man in red pants who can fly, I think a little poetic licence with how sunlight functions at the north pole is okay.

Also, mirrors. Worked for Mr Freeze.

[u/TheAquamen]

Okay, so some people are going through the new footage like CinemaSins and trying to find flaws with literally everything, which you will always be able to do with anything if that is your goal. That is funny but it is not an honest or rewarding way to engage with a story. So while I think this isn't worth addressing since it never should have been brought up, it has been, so let's address it...

One: It doesn't matter that the sun is sometimes down. They are using this machine during a time when the sun is up.

Two: Every piece of Superman media ever made afaik ignores that the poles have a different day/night cycle. No one cares because you'd only think about it if you were actively trying to find fault.

[u/Cockycent → u/TheAquamen]

I'll be honest here, I truly do hate this. There are films fans where you have legit critique after you watch it and some will tell you to turn your brain off and just enjoy. Then those same fans will have a 1000 word essay on other films.

There are fans breaking down Superman trailers, but Deadpool/Wolverine, Daredevil, and No Way Home are off limits. "Just shut up and enjoy stuff".

[u/SupervillainMustache → u/TheAquamen]

CinemaSins has done so much damage to film criticism.

[u/wombat74]

Probably use a different slightly less effective healing method.

The fortress literally sprouted out of the ground. Maybe it moves to the South Pole the other half of the year

[u/alepher]

Great question. In this version I suppose they would fly him into space. Although in my own version I like to think the fortress exists in a different dimension with an entrance that can manifest in different locations, to prevent him from being tracked

[u/CasanovaFrankinstein]

In one comic, they basically transport him directly into the sun using a mother box.

[u/RogerRoger63358]

Good question. The answer is, it's a comic book movie. If people are going to be scrutinising this movie the way they were scrutinising the Snyder movies then they will hate this.

[u/SupervillainMustache]

Increase the amplification of the reflection of the moon? Fly Superman into the upper atmosphere? Grab some solar lamps? Whatever the writer decides. 

It's a freakin' sci-fi movie. Anything is possible.

[u/Night_Twig]

He obvi has one on both poles

[u/EasterBurn]

He probably got the black suit and those robots probably has a machine that stores sun energy for the latter half of the year.

[u/DarthAsriel]

The scene was dumb. We’ve seen Superman absorb sunlight in space. No atmosphere or filters. But sunlight through a magnifying glass has him screaming.

[u/KindsofKindness → u/DarthAsriel]

I don’t think the method matters. This Superman probably just hurts when he heals from the sun. It’s a different adaption.

[u/TheAquamen → u/DarthAsriel]

A device focusing sunlight makes it more powerful than unfocused sunlight, but it's probably not the heat or radiation hurting him anyway, but his bones, organs, flesh, or whatever else was broken healing so quickly. There's also the possibility that he's in a weakened state due to, say, Kryptonite or something, which affects him at different intensity levels depending on the version.

And not that it matters but we have not seen this Superman do hardly anything, so things like his max strength and speed, whether his heat vision is a laser or an uncontrolled blast, and how he heals are going to be specific to this version.

[u/the_weird_days → u/DarthAsriel]

Well he does have 14 fracture bones it’s fixing, seems pretty painful to me

[u/Super_Candidate7809 → u/DarthAsriel]

It was dumb.
