Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel deserves a lot of credit. The Christopher Reeve Superman movies had become such cultural icons for the character that the one time prior to Man of Steel that anybody tried to make a new Superman movie, they just tried to make a Christopher Reeve movie with different actors.

Some have become cemented in pop culture, and Zack Snyder's rendering of Superman is undoubtedly one of them. While the internet keeps trying to create a Gunn-Snyder clash, there are others indulging in a more valuable discussion.

It might be a minefield we're stepping into, but it's time to look at the evidence and make the case for and against Superman directors Zack Snyder and James Gunn in the great debate of our Super-times.
