Superman Thread
I haven't read enough Supes, what's a single good run I can read?
>>89902408
This comic only works if Superman is bluffing WRT killing the Joker. Otherwise, it's just pointlessly edgy.

>>89902722
Every time a beard marries to a superman, it's doomed to die :'[
>>89902722
Superman with a beard always looks great. It's amazing.
>>89902448
So is Supes using his heat vision there? Just never seen it from that angle before.
>>89902768
>, it's doomed to die :'[
Also Superbro Beard

>Superman with a beard always looks great. It's amazing.
Agreed
>>89902847
fucking fairies
It's canon to me, dammit!
>>89902907
Why does Supes have a gauntlet? Also I'm assuming this is in the far future with Supes watching the sun expand and engulf the earth?
>>89902913
>Not only will I give you an autograph
>I'll blow your fucking mind while doing it
This is no joke one of my favorite pictures.
The shit you've gotta put up with.
If feel sad about the state of Superman in the DCEU.

That whole issue was fucking gold.

Jesus Christ.
>>89902708
It's a space dildo, isn't it?
>>89904179
"You can watch it with your parents!"
I don't understand, this Superman isn't constantly being compared to Jesus, brooding about helping people, or killing.
How can I take him seriously?
>>89907012
Snyder pls.
>>89903542
Lasering the thing was kind of a dick move
>>89904261
"And what's that behind your ear?"
Imagine if Supes learned a lot of slight of hand for kicks.
Has there ever been a "What if baby Kal-El landed in Ancient Greece/The Roman Empire?"
>>89905664
The lil leg kicks will always get me.
>>89905750
"Hey. Cut that out."
/co/, if Superman came to your house and started talking shit about you how long would it take you to kill yourself?
>>89907488
But he would never do that. He's a good man.
>>89907488
Well Lex is said to be smart enough to convince someone to kill their self in half an hour and Supes is smarter than him.
>>89907488
I could only see this happening if I was horrible enough person. If I tried to kill myself Supes would try to talk me out of it and try to set me on the right path.
>>89907488
I would assume that he is being controlled and wouldn't take offense. Instead, I would offer my help, like he would do for me.
Fuck off with Injustice shit.
>>89908704
But Superman is clearly the most evil person in existence and only our hero da Batman can save us from his tyrannyBut naw fuck Injustice
>>89905313
It's from American Alien, I wanna say issue...3?
>>89902473
Man of Steel by Byrne and then For All Seasons by Loeb.
>>89905664
Fuck this was some good shit.
>>89902842
Every time this comes up, I ask the same thing but never get an answer: What happened next? What was electric ninja lady's response to this?
>>89903008
And to me. It will always be.
>>89903163
Every time I see this picture, it just makes me happy inside.
If I had to sum up Superman with one page it'd be this one
>>89909326
You mean Bruce right?
>>89902791
This coloring hurts my eyeballs
>>89902650
Is Harley the true watcher of the multiverse? tune in next week to find out...
>>89904490
Weirdly that whole thing makes me think of Fleischer studio Superman.
>>89903008
Super "best dad" Man is always cannon...
>>89903351
Someone send this to the white house...
I remember this comic by a drawfag of the previous Superman packing up his things, giving the new at the time Superman words of encouragement, and then flying out of the Fortress. Wish I could find it. It was back around when the New 52 started or right before.
>>89905152
Slade and the really bad horrible no good day.

>>89911559
And of course I forget the last image.
>>89902838
Yeah.
As a random aside anyone in this thread have a comic that maybe explains how he learned to control heat vision to make it range from "first degree burns on criminals" to "incinerating oceans"
>>89903466
At least most of those people are dead now.
>>89911405
Yes yes it does... and something that they still make fun of Slade about, just not to his face.
>>89907488
That's like asking about Mr. Rogers insulting you or Bob Ross screaming at you.
>>89911905
Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Superman tell you they are disappointed in you...
How does that sentence make you feel /co/?
>>89911978
Like I've fallen into the worst possible universe.
>>89903163
Oh look at that, it's raining.
>>89904213
fuckin' harsh, Clark
>>89902330
>That shitty foreshadowing
I cried too when it came out, but can we all finally agree that death of superman was a shitty book?
>>89912171
I don't really know if /co/ has ever held the opposite opinion
>>89912171
pretty sure we did years ago
>>89902473
I can't look at this panel and not instantly hear the Fleischer brothers Superman March in my head.

Superman #701
first issue of thenot greatGrounded arc
>>89912378
I get your sentiment but it was more than just one page. Her psychiatrist is shown on the phone with her earlier in the issue and the meaning overall is enhanced by the fact that Superman was generally busy that day.
>>89905750
>>89905790
Injustice Superman is really great with Lois alive, especially those chapters where he dreams about his daughter growing up.
>>89904363
What has Krypto been doing since nu52 Superman died?
>>89912596
The Krypto currently with Superman and family seems suspiciously like HIS Krypto, I have no idea what happened to Wolfie.
Maybe he followed his Superman wherever he went?
>>89910237
Bruce wouldn't want Superman to be in pain.
>>89911599
Man, slopy Joe in my country is something only degenerates would do with their mom and dad.
>>89912171
It's not really a foreshadowing if it happened after his death and return.
>>89907488
Remember when Hal Jordan had a dream of Superman calling him a screw-up?
>>89912596
Best part is he might have been somewhat redemable except that fucking injustice wonder woman is such a fucking bitch and goaded him on.
>>89914223
Did IJ Wondie ever get any blowback for that?
>>89912582
Thank you
>>89903199
You can't post that and not what happens next come on now
superbump
Since its confirmed they role play, you think Lois has a villainous alter ego she only uses in the bedroom?
>>89916634
maybe she puts on a bald cap for superman on special occasions
>>89916683
or white face paint
"Me am horny Superman"
>>89905152
I wonder how confused Slade is about this? How many questions does he have from this single moment?
>>89916634
>yfw Superman has a fetish of a villainess who looks like his wife forcing herself to him while helpless to stop her
>>89902408
>>89902712
The comic doesn't work because of how the joker acts.
>>89916988
>>89917008
>>89902791
If Kevin Costner had been given the script to play this Pa Kent, he'd have played the _hell_ out of that script.

Superman disrespecting his President. Blue pervert thug thinks he has power. Let's see who has power. Am #POTUS. Have box. Have guts. Superman a coward. Sad.

THROW THE FILTHY SLAV INTO THE SUN FAGGOT!
Guys are there any comprehensive recommendation lists for post-Crisis Supes? I didn't get into DC stuff until near the end of New 52 and now I want to know more about the current Rebirth Supes.
Should I just read everything from Superman Vol 2 up through Flashpoint?
>>89917288
http://comraderecs.tumblr.com/post/18865609991/dc-comic-recommendations
three different images with recs for Supes, hope that helps
>>89917288
For Superman there was like a full decade of constant crossovers in the 90s. It's not really worth wading through unless you already have specific interest in doing so.
However I do recommend reading the Johns and Busiek runs that start up after Infinite Crisis. They have one crossover arc at the beginning (Up, Up, and Away) and then continue into the Action Comics and Superman ongoings. I'd say you should stop with those runs around the time New Krypton starts up (unless you find that you want to read it, wasn't awful but felt like I wasted my time).
>>89905152
For some time this incident remained a disgraceful blot in Slade's personal record, tentatively chalked up to ingesting a minor dose of neurotoxin and hallucinating. When he realized that Bruce Wayne was obviously the newly emerged Superman he was happy to reclassify it as an unavoidable intelligence failure.
>>89912171
Pretty sure everyone agreed on that a long time ago.
It had a massive impact, and Reign of the Supermen was a fun ride (and also had a lot of impact that can still be felt today), but the story itself and even the climatic battle were pretty bad.
>>89917186
Lex pls
>>89915685
IIRC he ducks out of the way and pretends to only get grazed.
>>89903542

>>89919907
Superman/Batman Annual 1
Are the old Superman serials worth checking out? I've always wanted to check it out but the bts things involving the actor playing Supes always bummed me out.
>>89912171
This is after The Death of Superman, anon. Superman has the mullet.
And no, it wasn't really a shitty book. But of course you wouldn't know it because you already proved it you didn't read it.
>>89912367
I think this panel is more peaceful, it doesn't fit with that music
>>89915128
From the games? No. From the comics sorta. She was forced to fight superman and break his arm. But I guess her blowback is that even though she wanted super dick, he didn't want her. But she really didn't get any "real" punishment for what she did other than being expelled from the amazons and being stripped of her title as queen and what not.
>>89906968
You jerk... Now everyone in the house is wondering what my problem is.
>>89917616
Now you have me imagining what President Luthor could do with a Twitter account. Beyond the obvious that is, with the bottle.
>>89902907
Is that Starman's cosmic staff?
>>89917969
He does have a problem writing comics though, mainly in putting in far too much dialogue. He was horrible when he started doing comics, Rising Stars was one of the worst cases of WORDSWORDSWORDS I've ever seen. Sure, they were good words but he needed to get rid of maybe 75% of them.
>>89903163
why hasn't zack snyder seen and understood this picture
>>89921951
Because you touch yourself at night.
And honestly why MoS and BvS aren't amazing, Snyder did have a few inspirational moments.
Like the first flight scene or Superman punching the world engine scene. Lord know it had my hope boner raging.
>>89903782
>>89903794
oh god my heart
>>89907012
>I don't understand, this Superman isn't constantly being compared to Jesus, brooding about helping people, or killing.
Comparing Superman to Jesus is a downgrade. Jesus offers salvation in the afterlife but Superman is an avatar of hope in this lifetime where the people of his earth need it most.
Which would you rather have, a promise that your miserable life will be rewarded with something no one can prove has ever existed, or a reminder that it's important to hope and work to make things better?
>>89903303
That's odd... Pretty much exactly the Superman of the comics. I will not entertain the baseless opinions of those who don't even know the fucking comics.
>>89907012
Yawn, read a comic book every now and then you fucking noob

>>89921951
Fuck off. If you actually READ SUPERMAN COMICS, which by god you absolutely do NOT, you would know Snyder's version is the most accurate. Fuck off you phony
>Fuck off you phony
Pls no bully.
I've been reading Superman on and off since 1974. He was my father's favorite too. I'm sure you're giggling at being a contrarian but this isn't the place for it.
>>89902913
Is this Dick or Jason?
>>89903255
I love this page but I never liked how Byrne tried to minimize the Krypton side of Superman so hard. He's a son of two worlds, IMO he should cherish both cultures equally, he's more interesting that way.
>>89922740
Jason. You can tell by the way his hair curls toward the middle.
>>89902330
nice
>>89903580
>Then take my giant, odd-looking hand
>>89922242

>>89917494
Years later a figure breaks into Stately Wayne Manor.
As Deathstroke The Terminator creeps down a shadowy hallway he draws forth a glowing green dagger, and as he lunges towards the silhouette of Bruce Wayne he yells triumphantly-
>THIS TIME I CAME PREPARED
Later an unmasked Slade Wilson sits atop a building ledge, holding his bruised and battered face in his hands, after a moment he looks towards the night sky and screams in frustration.
>I JUST DON'T GET IT!
>>89927385
Ironically, this was during a time when Bruce Wayne was replaced by Clayface.
>>89927385
Nothing good happens to Deathstroke when he tries to kill Bruce Wayne.
>>89903782
It's kind of funny. Here we see Superman telling Wally "If you ever need to talk to someone who understands I'm here for you" and in the very next issue of Titans Wally's going stircrazy because he doesn't know anyone or have anyone to talk to.
>>89927996
Well, in the comic's defense, Clark got to bring over not only a wife, but the son Wally didn't even know he had. Meanwhile, Wally lost a wife, two kids, and around, what, ten years of growth and development?
That's gotta sting.
>>89917032
When shit hits the fan and the kids are roughed up, Uncle Kal is always there to save his kids one second, and the next ruin someones day for hurting his family...
>>89917830
Superman can legitimately be TERRIFYING!
>>89927537
I swear Slades timing on killing Wayne is about as good as his parenting.
