If you haven’t seen the new Superman flick "Man of Steel," but plan to, you may want to leave this Burning Q page right now. It’s spoiler-tastic!
Still here? OK, consider yourself warned.
Superman violently kills General Zod in Man of Steel?!?!?! WTF??? I thought that Superman was a non-killer. Is the older, gentler Superman dead forever??? — Y.K.
Superman fans certainly are fearing as much. For what it's worth, Kal-El does feel pretty bad about having to snap that bad guy's neck, and the filmmakers do make an effort to sell us on the idea that superhero feels, at least, at one point, like he has no choice.
But still, you're right. The Superman brand isn't generally associated with the breaking of necks, even evil ones. Heck, even some enemies taunt him about his non-lethal ways (see the animated film "Superman vs. The Elite" or read "Action Comics" No. 775, on which it was based).
