I watched a video that went in detail about how much Zack Snyder's superman failed at this. Like in Man of Steel he does stuff Superman would never do, like get revenge on that trucker by demolishing his truck, and stealing clothes he needs from some random family instead of asking for them.
Those movies have their good points and honestly if you skip around a lot it's not that bad of a series. But they didn't understand these characters for the most part and that's why it was so disappointing.
Snyder doesn't understand the idea that someone powerful can also be gentle. To him, power is meant to be exercised. Superman has the power of life and death in his hands? Ok, let the kids drown to maintain his secret identity. He doesn't do that, but snyder has fucking pa Kent of all people voice that philosophy. It culminates in Superman granulating metropolis in the fight with zod, which ends with him killing zod personally. Snyder wants you awed by power. He doesn't care about juxtaposition or humanity very much.
