The former DCEU writer and director didn't seem to understand what was needed to make this piece of the Superman mythology work.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Superman & Lois Season 3.Superman & Lois’s Season 3 finale brought in a big piece of the Superman mythos as Lex Luthor revealed his twisted plan to take down the Man of Steel. The final moments of the episode call to mind another recent Superman story — the notorious and controversial Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
'Superman & Lois' Season 3 Just Introduced One of Superman's Most Deadly Foes In the final minutes of “What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger,” Lex Luthor confronts Superman in front of his family’s farmhouse in Smallville. Lex has used a device stolen from General Lane to summon what was once Bizarro Superman to attack the Man of Steel.
Zack Snyder Jumped the Gun on Using Doomsday in 'Batman v Superman' It’s easy to see why Zack Snyder would be drawn to a character like Doomsday. Snyder is known for making sprawling and epic films that are determined to be, above all else, cool. His version of Superman is a god among men, somberly bearing the weight of responsibility thrust upon him by his powers. His fight scenes make gratuitous use of slow motion, often lingering on moments of impact and the immediate aftermath.
Dawn of Justice was also merely the second appearance of Henry Cavill’s Superman. He’d only met Batman and Wonder Woman a few days before his death, and the bulk of his relationship with Lois Lane had been developed offscreen between movies. The sense of profound loss that permeates the pages of “The Death of Superman” simply isn’t there. Snyder uses Doomsday for the spectacle, as an enemy capable of taking on Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman at the same time.
