Mora’s art is amazing, hope it brings out the best in Waid.
[QUOTE=Frontier;5856265]So is this in-continuity or just in a vague period of time in the past or just Waid going full-on Elseworlds with the retro aesthetic?
Not that I mind. It looks amazing :D.[/QUOTE]
In-continuity and set in the past. Let’s Waid play in the status quo he prefers (unmarried Clark with a secret identity) while still “mattering”.

Replace the word "cereal" with "pizza" and that's my whole life, too.

I thought it was black pants but they do look green there.

Think it’s just a very dark green

Whether waid acknowledges it or not birthright like many other books handprints are there in man of steel.Just watch it if people want to see it.That's that.Waid's reservation of the whole thing comes from his attachment to silverage rules.I am not going to go through this limbo again.Me? I have niether.I am not attached to superman itself anymore.
This snyder doesn't read superman is false accusation to level at the guy
[QUOTE=Vordan;5868015]
-Waid told his editor to make sure this doesn’t end up being the “retro book” he wants this to be contemporary and not mired in nostalgia[/QUOTE]

Thank you for bringing that up..I just didn't want to be the one to always be that guy;)
Time for a superman wink.

I am looking forward to this..Cause there might be actual humor and adventure here.
I allow myself one of these a year because otherwise it's cringe: shut up old man.
This book is more or less the embodiment of a lot of what I don't appreciate about DC and the people that work there now.
Not going to begrudge anyone for enjoying it, but I'm gonna pass super hard on it and probably even Waid's BL Superman book. Just doesn't sit right with me to support it.
Other stuff I forgot:
-He loves Supergirl’s updated Post Crisis origin where she was sent to take care of baby Kal but because of shenanigans ended up arriving years later than he did
-He thinks Clark needs to know about Krypton because it’s an element of tragedy in Kal’s life. Waid sees Krypton as analogous to Earth but they prioritize science over morality whereas Earth is the reverse. Reiterates that in his ideal canon the Kents are dead
-The big comic that first made Waid really “get” how writing works was the old Action #500 issue where Clark tells his life story and talks about how much finding Krypto meant to him because it meant he found another being who could fly. That really made Waid realize how important it is to get in the character’s head and figure out what they want.
-Says he doesn’t have any other big Superman projects coming up yet, but he’s had talks and he certainly doesn’t have any trouble coming up with Superman ideas. My guess is DC wants to wait to see how his current projects are received before going all in on him.
-Every character he does want to get keeps getting picked up by Tom King first such as Human Target and Adam Strange (says he’s a fan of King’s work)
[QUOTE=Gaius;5868029]Haven't read [I]Birthright [/I]in a while or seen in MoS also (which I know Waid hates), what in that book do Snyder fans try to say influenced Snyder?[/QUOTE]
They claim BvS Lex is an adaption of [I]Birthright[/I] Lex.

Should’ve told him to “eat it grandpa” :p
I dunno there are a ton of Batman BL books that are giving us takes on “classic” Batman while the mainline tries other stuff. I view this as an equivalent for Superman. Waid’s attempt to be “hip” with [I]Champions[/I] sucked but his brief Dr. Strange run got good reviews. He might still have some spark left in him and I think he’s earned a shot off of his pedigree alone. If Jurgens can get another shot I think Waid is entitled to one as well, and we have young new bloods on Jon and Clark in the mainline. Plus [I]Batman/Superman[/I] is usually just inconsequential side adventures, unless they were planning on turning this into a Jon/Jace book (and the most likely writer for that would’ve been Taylor who wouldn’t have done anything interesting with it anyway) having Waid tell adventures set in the past might still provide some benefit in spotlighting Clark’s Rogues in cool ways.
