He doesn't kill and for once, he had no choice, so he did what was right. Definitely doesn't make him a villain. XD Well, honestly, there were like several ways to save those people without killing Zod, but whatever. True, I didn't mean to imply that there weren't other ways, I just felt like that one was the most efficient, or at least the most dramatic. XD But still, he didn't just become a cold blodded killer after that. Yeah, I understand. In the film's universe, it's totally justified. Superman's not a villain or anything, and I honestly doubt this movie will make him one. Just because Batman, Lex Luthor, and most other people see him as a villain doesn't make him one, because he's clearly trying to good. He'll probably be pushed to the breaking point before he ends up fighting anyone. Matter of fact, you could also call Batman the villain here. He has a grudge against Superman, he's making these assumptions, and Alfred even talks about "the rage that makes good men cruel".
