Henry Cavill's Superman is my favorite.
He made Superman relatable, to the point I'm convinced that a person, any person can strive to be their best selves.
I aspire to be Superman.
There's a German psychologist, can't spell his name, let's call him FN.
He wrote a book about the Übermench, the "Overman"/Superman. It speaks about each person being able to reach his/her fullest potential, being their greatest self. Man of Steel reminded me of that. And I was going through my regular journey of self-discovery when I got the opportunity to see the movie... I watch the movie now and again, like once a month, at best.
I don't know what's up with the ageist thing, or generational, but here's my two cents. I've watch all the Superman movies, even animated, unfortunately Reeve's Superman although was fun to watch when I was younger, I can't really find myself relating to him.
Maybe I should give that Superman another look. I did enjoy Brandon Routh's Superman. I'd be perfectly satisfied had he stayed with the role, if only it was his own take, and not Reeve's.
Über in German/Deutsche is "over", with synonyms being great, super, etc.
Yup, Overman. I've read about him. Haven't read his books though.
BTW, the Übermench book I'm referring to was written and published sometime in the 1800s, if I'm not mistaken.
The book was also referenced in Smallville, in the episode that had Carter Hall investigating something in some desert, I think Egypt.
