There's a fascinating post online by Jim Shooter, if my memory serves, in which he claims there was a period in the 1980s where DC was in real financial danger (how that reconciles with them being owned by Warners since the 1970s, I don't know, but let's go with it for the sake of the story). He says he and Byrne discussed how Marvel could reboot and insert Superman into the MCU, should they buy DC or licence their characters, and his belief much of that thinking informed Man of Steel. The series certainly is a very Marvel way of looking at the character and, like many other posters here, I believe the changes made were for the better.

Also? How much does slicked-back-hair, black-t-shirt Clark look like Connor? Wow...
