We saw Superman do very little to minimize the damage or move the fight to a less populated area. Buildings were just falling at a ridiculous rate and I never got the sense that the casualties were on his radar.

But look, the thing about Superman is that he always finds a way. If you or I woulda been in that situation, maybe *we* would've had no choice. But I think it was a mistake to bring Superman down to our level. Superman doesn't kill. And I'm open to a lot of different interpretations with the character but for me that aspect is just non-negotiable. So whether they did it to humanize him, or symbolize his breaking ties with Krypton, or give some closure to the anger issues he'd been harboring all his life... Hell, even if they were trying to show that this is a new Superman who makes mistakes... I just don't think it was worth it.
