First off, was this stated? How can Superman not know that having a bunch of unprotected sex with Lois Lane is going to get her pregnant? He isn't a sheltered highschooler. Plus he can see atoms, I don't think he'd fail to notice a pregnancy. I just assumes his tour in space took WAY longer than he intended. In any case, Superman abandoned Lois for nebulous and poorly fleshed out reasons (handled largely in a TEXT CRAWL at the start of the movie) and combined with his Super-Stalking later in the movie just comes off as a creepy asshole.

I think he could hear the sperm pierce the egg when he laid his super-sperm inside her. Shit, his ejaculation should have caused internal hemorrhaging for Lois.

But plot holes aside, maybe the birds and the bees work differently on Krypton, or maybe his adoptive Aunt and Uncle never taught him about sex ed. He was raised in a rural setting where they have conservative values and don't believe in sex ed in schools, only prayer.

Oh dear god, I feel so primed to watch this movie thanks to these posts.

All the talk about sex in those posts + Henry Cavill = wet Sapphy. I'll admit, and no romo, but Cavill is a good looking dude. I don't think Amy Adams quite fits as Lois Lane, though Margot Kidder wasn't particularly hot whereas Reeves was also a manly man and a good looking dude.

True and good points. I think Superman should never be one of us. Not Kal'El or Superman.

Smallville did a good enough portrayal of Clark Kent trying to fit in to be human. I don't think any new Superman movies should be trying to cover that aspect. Man of Steel/Superman... why not just go with that.

So what if he fights another enemy as strong as him and he is sent hurtling half way around the planet. Don't let him get up like he got hit with a kryptonite punch and is now wobbling and disoriented. Let him get up and fight like he should and use all his powers and more. I'd rather watch a proper Superman movie that fails at the box office than one that trying to relate to normal men. :/

I never watched Smallville so I'm happy to see them explore Clark as a human. From the trailers, I don't think he's trying to fit in so much as trying to understand his origins and purpose. As a kid he tries, but as a man he seems to be a loner trying to stay under the radar. It kind of feels like "I am Number 4" except Clark is smarter about hiding his abilities until someone is in grave peril.

The thing with making Superman too super is that he's then an automaton and not a person. Plus if he's fighting enemies as strong as him, he can't just shrug off their attacks, he will feel the pain and it will be a struggle to beat them.
