The latter, of course, would have been a sequel to Man of Steel, and the filmmaker had this to say about how his movie’s opening minutes would covered the life of Henry Cavill’s Kal-El/Clark Kent: The first five minutes of the movie was a setup after which you knew exactly what made Superman tick and exactly what Superman was most afraid of and why Superman made the choices that he made. Going a step further, McQuarrie’s idea reminds me of how Zack Snyder’s Watchmen movie used its opening credits to cover the history of costumed heroes from right before World War II to 1985 to the tune of Bob Dylan “The Times They Are a-Changin’.” In this case though, the sequence would have delved into Superman’s deeper characterization and the reason he uses his powers to protect the innocent.
