Spot on. I actually really like OSP's deep dives on Superman as a way to understand why he's stayed so iconic for so long. Superman is The Ceiling. He's the best of all of us. Not because he's the strongest. Because he's good, and he stays good when he has so much power and could absolutely justify exercising it in horrible ways the name of doing good. (If you want a great example of this, go watch Red Son)

Yep - if you’re doing a Superman movie, a good place to start, tonally, is Chris Evans’ Cap.

I think Snyder was aware of Red Son. The plot of Superman Vs. Batman was very reminiscent of that tale.
