Personally, I think it was the double whammy of Superman IV (which came out at the same time) and DKR that caused the problems the character's franchise is still enduring. That said, I've never...

Do you think he deserved the beatdown he received from Batman and Green Arrow? Let's not forget, he did work for a corrupt governmen and cost Oliver his arm. Not to mention, trying to shut down...

Iron Man (2008) = 8/10 chance

Deadpool (2016) = 7/10 chance

Logan (2017) = 7/10 chance

I'm wondering if the reason for the decline in Superman's popularity in today's world, especially compared to Batman, is due to the idea that most fans see him as a government figurehead. I mean,...

What issue/storyline was that shown in?

I think the level of fear that Batman inspires, depends on which specific incarnation we're talking about. If you're talking about mainstream Bats, then I think most other heroes and innocent...

I found this on http://tvtropes.org, but it didn't say what issue or storyline it was said in.

"His eyes, unfathomably empty, devoid of all compassion... all humanity... No one has eyes like...

The big one: "Superman is an idiot/moron/unintelligent".

I can tolerate "He's overpowered and just a boyscout".

I can, very slightly, tolerate "He goes bad if Lois Lane dies".

Say this...

Injustice: Not a bad version per se, but as I wrote in the Controversial Opinions thread, it was the last thing Superman needed at the time.

Chris Reeve: He had the look, the costume, etc. but...

Superman goes evil if Lois dies. How I loathe thee.

To follow up on my last post, it's not that I think Injustice is a bad game. In fact, it's one of the most fun games I've ever played. However, my main gripe with it is down to the fact that I think...

Doesn't matter who, or what, brings him back. All that matters is that he looks at Peter as Spider-Man and, then, the question is what does he think? Is he proud or ashamed? Does he encourage him to...

Bustin' Superman

Probably an obvious one, but I think the double whammy of Injustice and Batman V Superman have done long term damage to Superman. As a result of his portrayal in both, it seems like people are...

The idea of exactly how good looking he is, or should be, has gone back and forth quite a few times. It's often been said, both in-unverise and out, that he's only average looking, yet he seems to...

Batman: A loud, resounding NO.

Superman: I could say the same if the writer of the story gave him a spine, but with the way DC having been taking him since the Silver Age, there exists a horrible...

This, 100x.

He's a positive character, no arguments there, but for real life people with personal difficulties such as abusive family members, or who are victims of extreme forms of bullying, how easy is to be...

Mark Waid: "Batman, while no wimp, was the brains of the team; Superman, while no lunkhead, was the muscle.”

Now, that concept itself isn't the problem. In fact, that's what you'd expect it to...

We've never gotten the right tone for Superman on the big screen. Donner's was too light and "aw shucks". Snyder's is too dark and morose.

The most common complaint, as we all know, is that he's too "boy scout". But we've seen other depictions like Justice League Unlimited, Injustice and Batman V Superman try to make him edgier, with...

For me, if it wasn't the 90s animated series, I don't know what else it could have been. I definitely remember it being one of my favorite shows as a child. My mother also used to buy me magazines...
