I haven't seen it yet, and now when I do I'll be dying of the urge to do circle of life. Maybe if I go to a 9am showing...
I feel like movie was kind of a middle finger to the analysis of Superman made popular by Bill (of the Kill Bill movies) that Superman is the real person and Clark is the costume; this movie is so much about Clark the man (as opposed to Clark the superhero) that if feels really odd to refer to him as 'Superman.'
Awesome, because that is a stupid analysis. The received wisdom around DC fandom, I understand, is very much that while Bruce Wayne is really Batman, Superman is really Clark Kent, which I like.
