I personally don't like Snyder's take on the character, mostly because he... just doesn't have much of a character. Aside from a couple of scenes that pay lip-service to how he views his actions and other people, he doesn't do anything but brood all the time.

If I were to compare Marvel and DC, I'd say that Marvel plays it safe while making quality material, whereas DC takes risks that don't pay off at all.

I don't mind at all giving a new take on the character, but that requires actually GIVING a take. Superman, especially in Batman v Superman, is basically Dr. Manhattan minus any character development. A large portion of the movie consists of people talking about him, but we barely get anything out of the guy himself.

How did he deal with being forced to kill Zod, how does he deal with knowing that, at the moment, he's the only remaining member of his kind and how does any of that affect him whilst he's being Superman? I don't know, and the movie doesn't seem to care. I hope the extended cut that will come on DVD with 30 minutes of extra footage will improve things. But as it is, the movie's a mess.
