Superman Thread

This digital "Adventures of Superman" from a few years ago is fucking gold, why no one talked about this?

Jeff Parker, DnA, Jeff Lemire, Greg Pak, really good guys and really good artists.

Happy Birthday Supes

I always liked how they downplayed his strength in superman returns, like lifting a plane for him would be that difficult, but I guess showing the struggle makes us root for him more. After all, he's only a super man, not a god

Capacity to lift is irrelevant.
At the velocity it was spinning trying to stop the spin by grabbing the main body would gave tore the plane apart and opened the cabin.
Hence him trying to stabilize It by pulling the wing.

>What's your favorite Superman story?
That is a difficult choice.

Adventures of Superman 46-48, Kingdom Come, Up Up and Away and All Star are what I would pick between.

>What do you like most about him?

Two things have always stood out to me, aside from the cool powers.

One is that it's not that he will always succeed, but at least he tries to always make the right choice.

..and that absolute power should have absolutely corrupted him at some point, he shouldn't be good. But that's his character. He is the goodest good....and he's not that way because of the power, but because that's who he is as a person.

Which Up, Up and Away tells the best. You know what? Addressing the first question, that's for sure my favourite Superman book now that I really think about it.

>Why is he so inspirational?

Think I've already answered that, desu. He shows us how to be better people.

Batman looks up from the grill and sees that clark just made damians pitch look like a meatball. Bruce steps up to the mound as the relief pitcher. It basically becomes the kids fielding dingers and 100 mph wiffle induced hyper-sinkers.

The vastness in Sales art and relative small scale of the story were just beautiful. It made clark a big guy in an even bigger world. instead of just the typical big guy in a world too small for him.

>why's he inspirational
An unwavering determination to find the good in every single being. Which is simultaneously one of the biggest reasons people claim to hate him. Which just proves how fucking determined he is.

>>91656038
>Why is he so inspirational?
Because he has the power to do anything, but chooses to be a good person.

Cause this is a Supes thread, I'll not tell you to kill yourself, but I'd still punch you if you were in the same room as me.

There's nothing wrong with liking that 'interpretation', but equating it with the real deal? Wars have been fought for less.

>>91661835
what part of DCEUman do you like? Seriously, the only thing he has in common with any other Supes is the power-set and unfortunately the name.

..and before you answer, please know that hypotheticals are not a proper response

>>91656038
My favorite is All-Star Superman.
I like how kind and respectful he is.
He's so inspirational because he's down to Earth despite having godly powers.

>>91661835
I honestly don't know how you can have been a fan for so long and still like the DCEU version.

>Earth One

You like Batman more than Superman.

E1 was nothing more than a Superman story written like he was batman.

For gods sake, it turned the destruction of krypton into a deliberate act of war and Supermans whole existence into an act of vengeance. It even bloody says that in the book, when his spaceship is talking to him.

Awful superman in an awful book.

Did have some great parts though, like the hooker girlfriend they introduced, plus the cat story. Lex was great too.

But dude, seriously...you're a step away from being this guy >>91661835

>>91663522
Being a geographer and have studied geology, I say that Krypton would never explode without SIGNS that something was wrong, this was always bad, and by putting something that was never thought about (there are another alien species in the mythos) and that they are in war with Krypton makes so much sense and feels right.

And his escape being an act of vengeance makes sense, since he isnt inclined to vengeance, and yes by his parents, his actions are not what their kryptonian parents want, they are his.

>>91663641
>without SIGNS

>he doesn't know who supermans father was or what he did

>he doesn't know that the government deliberately ignored him due to xenophobic and fear-based tendencies

You've never read superman pre 2005 have you?

>And his escape being an act of vengeance makes sense, since he isnt inclined to vengeance, and yes by his parents, his actions are not what their kryptonian parents want, they are his.

That doesn't make sense.

>they are his

No, they are his parents and ships AI. He still fought their war, their battle.

The book goes out of its way to show him as a savant and prodigy in every area he goes, remember the job hunting scenes? Yet has almost nothing at all showing his humanity, nothing to identify with apart from the cat scene...and a power fantasy.

That's all you want from Superman, I can tell, a power fantasy backed by Batmanish motivations.

He was a prodigy, and even when he was autosuficient in many areas, he still doesnt know what to do with his life, he made mistakes, he was the more falible superman to date, this is why he was so much Human, that was the point of the story you dipshit.

what shapes superman is the outcome of the place he falls from krypton you retard, not the reason of krypton's death.

In Earth One, his actions are his own and not from Krypton. He fight against aliens and the parasyte for Earth and not for Krypton

>>91664890

When Cavil smiles, which is (fittingly) rare in late MoS and most of BvS, you can see the Superman we all know and love. It's the darker tone and subtleties that seems to make him hard to see for some.

The DCEU so far, his story at least, seems to be Superman growing into his role. You see it in MoS when he commits to being a hero, and meeting Lois, reconciling who he is with who he was intended to be. In BvS the early scenes, the bathtub scene, and the heroic rescue clips are all the Superman we know. He solidifies that when he chooses to sacrifice himself to stop Doomsday, and becomes worthy of the monuments.

I imagine post-JL he will be more as people expect him. Sadly, they won't see it as intended growth, but surrender to pressure.

Smallville did a lot of the shit that the DCEU has with Superman and is generally praised. How quickly people forget.

Oh please, snyder couldn't plan something like that. It's so obviously him trying to adapt to criticism.

Of course it is, Superman is like a brother or an uncle to him.
You have to realize what "Nightwing" as an identity is. It's the mission and drive of Batman, filtered through the optimism and kindness of Superman.

Doesn't mean it's not correct.

why was that Austen Superman story in the last thread so comfy? does every writer have at least 1 great Superman story to tell?

I think Cavil has the potential to be a great superman, and I really hope he gets a chance to redeem himself in man of steel 2, only if they get different writers and a different director. And by the looks of it they are going in that direction. Which makes me optimistic about Superman movies in the future.

We just have to get past the Snyder DCEU era, which ends after justice league.

>>91667818
I guess I outrank him too, as a 35-year fan.

MoS and BvS are awful Superman stories. They would be much better if they were off-brand stories about some random "flying brick" hero.

Cavill looks the part, but without seeing him under a better director and a better writer, I can't say how suited he is to play Clark.
