It's easy to criticize and complain. Especially as fans we have a habit of sitting and watching something only to turn and complain about (insert: plot holes, inconsistencies, tone, music, finale, etc.)
What's hard is to look at what has been presented and ask the question "how could that be better?"
With this in mind I humbly present to you my fantasy version of the end of Man of Steel. (Keep in mind that I am literally only changing the way things played out in the train station in the climax of the film everything has played out exactly the same to that point because I believe that it is important to have that human cost of battling through Metropolis to teach the young hero he has to find a better way.)
The two crash through the train station ceiling and land with a thud. (By the way this train station is impossibly far for Lois Lane to get to from her position in the wreckage of Metropolis as she observes the two crashing to earth from the atmosphere so she is not there and not involved in the end of this scene). They wrestle around for position with Clark keeping himself between Zod and the innocent people in the station. Zod takes notice of this and chooses to try to liquefy the humans with his heat vision. Seeing this Clark exclaims "STOP" and as he does he releases his arctic breath for the first time in his life. This shocks Clark, and Zod stares, unable to comprehend why his arm is frozen from the elbow down. Before Zod has time to act Clark grabs his frozen arm by the wrist and pushes through at the elbow dismembering Zod. After this Zod realizes that Clark means business. In his panic and bewilderment he realizes that he is now at a tactical disadvantage and retreats. Clark, satisfied with ending the battle, decides not to follow.
Fast Forward through the events of the MOS 2: Batman kicks ass........probably we meet Wonder Woman.
We open the eventual JL movie with a shot of the planet Mars. Zoom in to see Zod emaciated, and pale. He is tinkering with a Merle Dixon appendage-weapon to attach to his injured arm. He is still fuming, waiting for his revenge. We hear a thud and see the surface of the planet tremor. There are several subsequent thuds each one louder than the previous and getting closer to Zod. We see a sheer terror in Zod's face as a large figure casts a shadow over 10 ft tall. We see two large hands grab the sides of Zod's skull. The camera pans away and we see the large shadow grasping a smaller one and hear a loud crack, a loud squish, and a muffled laugh. We pan back behind the large object in a green jumpsuit covered by broken shackles, and we watch as he leaps off into space.
