Only one, Hugo Danner. He was the first fictional character with the trifecta of strength, speed and invulnerability.

We're much more civilized in the 20th century than previous ones, when oppression was tolerated. I fail to see how your explanation justifies Diana's loss of faith.



Its a great balance between...

As in compared to or contrasted with. She finds faith in humanity by the end of the movie, but then somewhere along the way, she sides with Ares in his views about us and checks out. Why?

As opposed to previous centuries when racism and misogyny were the norm?

The theatrical release of BvS certainly was, but I don't see that problem with MoS. But I don't want to derail this thread about WW. Why/when/how did she lose her faith in mankind?

Well put. To this day, I've still yet to read a legitimate complaint about MoS that can't be attributed to personal bias. As much as I enjoyed WW, I wished it was a little more provocative. Jenkins...

Well said.

Btw, did anyone stop reading Kingdom Come half way through because Superman lost faith in himself and his place in the world and just chalk it up to bad storytelling?

Fair enough, but GotG had even less competition in 2014, and SS still outperformed it.

Based on the box office, audiences have enjoyed DCEU's phase 1. What you're referring to is an outspoken minority on the internet with an over inflated sense of entitlement and an axe to grind.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. It almost as big a fallacy of expecting DCEU's phase 1 to perform financially as well as MCU's phase 3.

And yet despite that fact, Marvel has dominated the comic book market share for over 40 years. Iconic status of fictional characters is clearly irrelevant.



Ain't it the truth?

Will Murray, Alan Moore, Jack Kirby and Roy Thomas all disagree.

Which had nothing to do with my comments about All-Star Superman.

You find it baffling that a competent villain who provides a legitimate challenge could be more suspenseful and therefore more entertaining to others? Interesting.



I try to avoid all stories...

Pretty much. I started collecting Superman monthlies in '83 when Luthor and Brainiac got revamped. I pretty much enjoyed the Bronze Age, and there were some great Imaginary Stories and some gems in...

The super hero tropes depicted in All-Star Superman represent everything I've hated about super heroes in general and Superman in particular, since I was 11 years old.

Superman's greatest power in...

It's even better in the Donner Cut of Superman II.

Superman turns back time at the end, so he wasn't de-powered and never went to the diner with Lois because Zod & Co. never escaped the Phantom...

FWIW, when Favreau set out to make Iron Man, he followed Nolan's example because he wanted to make a movie like Batman Begins.

I am too, when does it start?

Star Wars
Deadpool
BvS
X-Men
Spectre
H8
Suicide Squad
Gojira!

I'm sure there's more I'm not even aware of...

Well said. I feel the same way about Marvel Studio's projects.




I thought Stan's comments about Snyder imitating Nolan were particularly ill-informed, considering the movie he just worked on....

A hero is born!

I dunno, the lighter brown in the background helps make the characters pop.

All in all it looks pretty good; you've added a lot of depth and made the composition easier to read. Looks like a...
