Man of Steel
Summary
OfSuperman ’s many powers , one of his biggest did not appear in hisDCEUdebut , Man of Steel , ina conscious decisiveness by Zack Snyder . With the benefit of hindsight , Man of Steelis much less divisive today than in 2013 , with many now lauding the sweet take on the titular hero , andHenry Cavill ’s portraying of Supermanin particular . At the prison term , it draw criticism for being too glowering and farinaceous , with some Superman super - fan lamenting the want of some of his most iconic features .
Snyder touch on this in an consultation withEmpirein 2013 . In it , he speak of how the movie ’s producer , Christopher Nolan , was the person to curtail the inclusion of some of Superman ’s more giddy feature film at this point inthe DCEU timeline , despite the comic book " dorks , " Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer , assuming thatMan of Steelwould boast everything down to the " red underwear . " Not include Super Breath ( AKA Frost Breath ) , however , was Snyder ’s decision .

While the DCEU did not resist the test of time , Man of Steel ’s climactic ending in 2013 adequately typeset up the future of the franchise via Superman .
Snyder Explained Why He Didn’t Use Super Breath In Man Of Steel
Snyder did not include Superman ’s Super Breath becauseno site arose that called for its manipulation , but that did n’t mean it was n’t a part of his repertoire . Snyder bring out that much of the Superman " mythology " was always present . He mention thatMan of Steeldid not include any kryptonite , but that did n’t have in mind it did n’t survive . He also noted how Lex Luthor was scatty from the movie , even though his buildings populate Metropolis . He also confirms that the Lana who appears briefly early on is , in fact , Lana Lang .
The free-for-all between Superman and the Kryptonians envision some eventful utilization of laser vision and Kal - El and Zod ’s godlike , destructive strength . With the Kryptonians being evenly match , it ’s not hard to see why Superman ’s Super Breath did n’t make the cutting in that particular conflict . Snyder ’s words were then vindicated later as Superman ’s Super Breath made an appearance in Zack Snyder ’s Justice League .
Why Superman Used Super Breath Later In The DCEU
Superman ’s Super Breath was first seen inZack Snyder ’s Justice Leagueafter he shrug off a bump from Steppenwolf ’s Electro Axe which he proceeded to immobilize and destroy . This , while cool , is a pretty strange position to have deployed the ability - peculiarly when the burning oil rig inMan of Steelwould have been a clearly more applicable enjoyment of the power . That ’s not to note the plethora of other situation where breath that can essentially disintegrate something could total in ready to hand .
One reason that Superman may not have deploy his Super Breath until this moment could be that he receive himself even more endow post - resurrection , with his Super Breath being arouse along with him . With the fossil oil fishing rig occurring so early on inMan of Steel , it may also be that he had n’t gotten to grips with the stark counter until then . The likely truth , however , is that the Super Breath come after fans began visit for it , and that every other site preface this one could have been work out with his other power .
