In terms of quality, would you say Man of Steel is the Batman Begins of Supes?
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18886 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
MoS The Batman: Begins of Supes?
That's because Batman Begins is a more in-depth character study that really dives into the Psyche of Batman. Not to say that there isn't any glimpses of that in MoS, just that, a bit more time was spent in Batman Begins seeing Bruce's development from scared kid in alley to vigilante crime fighter and a bit more spent on gothic shadows and theatricality.
@perezite: do you not understand that what makes a character 'tick' is all part of character development? It's just an excuse for poor characterization. BB is in a completely different class. I wouldn't even mention them together outside of this thread.
Like you wouldn't mention Iron Man 2 in this thread?
Well, if you want, we could go through a detailed analysis of how their characters developed and compare and contrast notes.
@perezite: why are you bringing up Iron man 2? It's completely irrelevant. And no Im not going to compare 'notes' with you. I was just answering your question. It's obvious you'll defend your beloved MoS tooth and nail so why would I bother convincing you when you're so stubborn right out the gate?

I'm not denying Batman Begins is a good movie. All I'm getting at is that, you seem willing to defend it pretty tooth and nail and seem to be dismissing MoS because of that. If I did try and convince you of anything, it'd be that the two films are closer than you might think. Just that.
Both are great in my opinion, and yes, Man of Steel serves the same role as BB does, though I like BB more.
It was the origin story of Superman, but otherwise, Batman Begins was totally different. Especially because Batman Begins had a great plot.
In terms of quality, no. In terms of them both being stepping stones for sequels that are leaps and bounds better than the first film, I hope so.
I personally believe Batman Begins was the best film out of the trilogy and a magnificent origin story.
In terms of comparing the two films, Begins is a better made film, although I prefer Man of Steel more.
i know they're tonally similar but Man of steel is definitely a sci-fi and alien invasion movie as opposed to man with a mission in BB and both big starting points to their respective franchises. they both kind of ended in a big way for origin movies.
