has downgraded Clark Kent from a leading man to a side character
I always found supes to be the least interesting part of Superman.
He has always been a problem due to the busted power curve he created. In order to challenge Superman, you need villains with his level of power. Lux Luther notwithstanding.
The best Superman arc I remember reading as a youth was when he was fighting Lobo, who basically was the same power level as him.
With Lobo appearing in the Supergirl movie there's a chance we might get that! It's the reason I never really minded how much they reduced his powers in the DC Animated shows. Otherwise the rest of the League could just relax in the Watchtower while Superman took care of everything.
After he was brilliantly on Krypton I really thought we would see more fragging from the Main Man. I hope Mamoa's performance is as good as Emmett Scanlan's was.
