That last line about accepting it was supposed to be taken as a joke. Nolan's films spent a lot of time developing characters, making them and their actions believable, even with something like Joker's bombing of the hospital, and developed everything within the story to somehow work and become a cohesive aspect of the film without being too over the top.

Man of Steel didn't do any of that at all. A member on Flixter wrote a review I liked that stated they felt like they were watching the best scenes out of three seperate films thrown into one. That's a pretty solid sum of what we got with Man of Steel.

Tons of small gems, spread across 2.5 hours of convoluted inconsistency.
