Michael B. Jordan as the Man Of Steel?

Yes, so it seems a little odd that they are using the Earth 2 reference whom I'm not even sure is still in continuity.

It's a movie. They don't want to waste time on "what are those other 20-odd Earths about, then?"
 
Coates did have a very celebrated run writing Black Panther, though obviously writing for comics and writing for film are two completely different animals.
From the scripts I've seen they're really not that different. And I've noticed that we're starting to see a lot of TV/movie writers moving over the comics, and the other way around.
If there's no Lois, then there has to be some other lady - Lana Lang, Wonder Woman, even that mermaid Lori Lemaris - to ground him. Lois Lane is what makes Superman human, what keeps him tied to Earth once both his foster parents are gone. Take that away, you're on the road to Dr. Manhattan. Or the Knightmare figure we saw in Snyder's movies.
I think the most popular version of that right now would be Injustice.
I always liked the idea that he takes a sabbatical from Earth and explores the universe. Leaving his descendants to protect it.
They're doing that in comics in the new Superman series that are going to be starting soon. He's going to be leaving Earth to hero in other parts of the universe, and will be leaving his son Jon as Earth's Superman.
 
For a while there, calls for more Routh Supes were usually framed at Tyler Hoechlin’s expense, which I didn’t much appreciate. But now that the latter has cheerfully force-fed his detractors every negative word they ever uttered, I’d definitely be down for Routh’s return as well.
 
I am very, very, VERY confused. I had absolutely no idea there were so many different versions of Superman. :confused:

Hell, I didn't even know there was a Superman who isn't Kal-El!

I was even thinking beyond his chance to play Supes as well. South had a good run in the Arrowverse which is better than he got out of one movie that failed to make money. Granted he got unfairly fired so they could save money and the show hasn't been ad good since but he did like I said have a good run.
