"Superman is gone"
I could end the review right here because that sentence above sums everything up perfectly.
The Man of Steel has left the Earth. The Man of Tomorrow is gone. In his place, we are left with an entitled brat who thinks he knows best and constantly looks for new ways to show he's the virtuous one.
Great. Awesome.
This time, instead of being a superhero and, I don't know, doing something heroic, he joins a protest (I am not kidding, I wish I was) and pulls the stunt of getting himself arrested like many narcissistic and annoying activists before him. Why? Just, why?
Why heroes can't just be heroic, save people, fight aliens, robots, and evil geniuses? Why do they have to carry some message about whatever is ailing the writer about the real world? Why can't they just entertain and provide a much-needed break from the flesh-eating viruses, freak weather, media constantly gunning for clicks and headlines, greedy and useless politicians, and their supporters ready to tear the other side apart in seconds?
