I liked the newest batmans origins.
Batman Begins spent an hour doing exactly what you dislike apparently, and done absolutely nothing new though, that story is the normal batman canon, slightly changed in that Ducard and Ra's are one and the same. he went away for a long time, and learnt from a lot of different people, in different arts, including the two used in BB (Ra's Al Ghul and Ducard) in the comic.
Batman flashed his normal origin story, they spent it going back and forth as a young adult, not even as batman, looking back at as a kid, then back to his training abroad. he didn't become batman for a good hour at least, was this wasted time?
Let me clarify what I mean by this particular origins story that I hate so much because it rarely changes much if at all on the big screen, I should also mention by origins I mean everything from his birth up to him being an "adult".
Remember, my main complaint is it taking up too much time in a film, where time is precious to tell a story, unlike a comic, book or TV series.
On Krypton, Jor-El/Lara, Kryptons destruction, sending him to earth, being found by the kents, raised, dealing with his powers as a child, blahdy blahdy tell me it's going to be any different? This is what I'm talking about, 20 minutes (pulled that number out of my butt) of wasted time. However, I don't mind an origins story which takes place when he's an adult having some flashbacks as a kid, like Batman, it's not too invasive and gets the story across pretty quickly.
If this reboot/reimage or whatever you want to call it has a planned trilogy or so, then in the long run I wouldn't mind. This is of course if it is any good at all.
We both have to accept that this is our own personal preferences, you don't give a damn, I'm tired of them.
One thing I'm curious about is what mistake has he made and looks like he's not using his powers to evade some sort of justice and letting himself be arrested or similar.
I guess he has made a really bad call and is having to deal with it emotional as well as judicially.
As far as Superman goes, flashbacks or not. from the majority of what we've seen, there won't be a lot of when he was a kid. It'll be his travels around the world when he's young (20's), apparently Africa at some point. The story of Krypton appears to be told to him by the fortress, as has always been done. Yes it won't change from his planet was blown up, and he was stuck in a space rocket, but that won't be shown for very long about 2 minute's of talk by the hologram Jor-El, It'll be about him as a young adult,How they do this in this film, is absolutely nothing like the comics by the sounds of things, he's a fisherman, he travels the world on his own steam, walking. it looks like triggered flashbacks by looks of things
The scene as a kid with the school bus being triggered by him seeing a school bus when he's docked in the harbour etc.
The film, isn't even running from any Superman origin story, as Superman doesn't go up against Zod in his first conflicts in the comics, and certainly it has never been shown on screen, which is the mass audience.
This version is absolutely nothing like the previous iterations, the only thing that looks similar is that he was brought from a dying planet and grew up on a farm.
They have gone a long way Warner Bro's to make this character in a similar vein to Batman begin's to ground this character, to make it feel like he could, for the slightest possible moment, exist in this world.
I think you're really going to be mistaken with them thoughts once you see this film, because every detail I've seen so far points so far away from that.
