>>81298506
Superman being compared to Jesus is mostly a thing that pretentious analyists started doing and Singer was the first one to include that imagery in a movie deliberately.

The comics still pretty much portray him as just a really moral regular joe, not even the Death and Return ever actually compared his resurrection to Christ.

To be fair Donner did it too (Clark is specifically 33 when he starts being Supes), but one thing is to draw some parallels like that and another is to build the entire character on the idea that "he's just like Jesus", coupled with all the extremely simplistic imagery like positioning Clark parallel to Jesus while speaking about self-sacrifice in a church, or some debris conveniently forming a cross when he's dead

And what's worse is that's teaching idiots to see Jesuses everywhere in capes, like one yesterday that tried to argue people are hypocrites for not complaining about Thor because he "literally resurrects" with godly powers when he's worthy of the hammer again

I'm gonna just ask this here.

Is there a Superman comic where after narrowly averting some earth destroying crises a giant eye appears from nowhere and hangs in the space above earth watching the planet intently & while going to fight it he learns it's his OWN eye sent back by a future superman to literally keep an eye on the past (for the future's own good) and present day superman must wrestle with the decision whether or not the watchful eye should go in a not too subtle metaphor for the growing surveillance state, or did I just imagine it?

I could have sworn I saw this plot somewhere.

>>81300769
Sounds like it would be real. That description frankly makes a lot more sense than what most of these covers imply.

Someone post the issue where Clark Kent goes to a Daily Planet staff fancy-dress party dressed in his actual Superman costume, but everyone says he looks nothing like Superman solely because he's still wearing his glasses.


Alternativly, post that page where Luthor tells Superman about his plan to time-travel back to Krypton's past and become Superman's father so that Superman won't be able to fight him in the present.

I actually wanna see how all of the worlds countries flags would look like after having to incorporate his shield into their design

Well, he says "replace" so exactly like that one, I guess

theres a good scene where the joker is swinging a mallet at clark kent, and Clark is thinking over how he supposed to react to the hit

>The comics still pretty much portray him as just a really moral regular joe
That is about ten percent of modern Superman comics. They have a really bad tendency to make Superman either Jesus or Your Dad.

Mermaids aren't dolphins.

Or are you just saying he should have ditched them all and fucked a dolphin?

If Lois and Jimmy are your main opposition, I don't think you have anything to worry about

I liked the issue of All Star where he creates a universe without Superman and it says we will always create a Superman either through religion or whatever.

Batman '66 is a great book, but its teamups aren't quite as absurd.

it was the superman movie

before the movie Superman/Jesus parallels were fairly non-existant. Around the mid 80s DC started hiring marvel writers/fans to write superman comics and all they knew of the character was that a) kirby put Darkseid in that issue of Jimmy Olsen and b) That superman movie back in 1978 was really good.

It's kinda sad how nostalgia pieces such as Batman 66, Wonder Woman 77, and X-men 97 end up being better books than each of their respective ongoings by a mile. It's bizarre, since they're clearly cash grabs, but they're cash grabs with actual effort put into them, which you don't see often.
