Great ideas. I'd like to see the pre-Flashpoint Superman become similar to Kal-L was pre-COIE. I would also like to see stories similar to what the Adventures of Supermans series did.



I would...

I'm loving this thread so far! Thanks for sharing how you got into Superman comics and your favorites stories, etc. Let's keep this one going for a long, long time.

Do you guys think we're going...

Hadn't noticed that until now, but you're right, there's a Lee/McGuinness fusion there. I also loved Stelfreeze's work on those issues of Batman; my introduction to him was his cover work on the...

This thread is for the discussion and appreciation of the what many consider to be the "classic" Superman, though it's apparently more PC to call him "Superman 1938-2011. This is the Superman that...

Hey, I've said much more than one positive thing about Man of Steel! Great casting, great SFX, unique take on Krypton, beautiful Golden Age-esque \S/ shield.

That's what makes that movie so...

I'm offended that I'm not on this list.

Superman Adventures is a terrific book. I have a collection of some of the early issues (all by Millar) but there were also some digests of this title that used to be pretty easy to find.

I don't...

You make some good points, though I disagree with some of them. What you do most beautifully, however, is present those points in a way that doesn't bash other people who disagree with your own....

I started a similar thread last year. I think it's a no-brainer for DC, and while I'd also love to see a Superman '53, I don't think it would do as well as one based on the Reeve films.

My...

I considered that when I made the comment, because I suspect his "niece and nephew" either don't exist or are not as young as he'd have us believe. Remember, he's using "large amounts of people" as a...

Same here. The suit is shockingly faithful; I expected something more in line with the New 52 iteration instead of a strong adaptation of the classic suit. That \S/ shield is what I'd like to see on...

Saying a 26 year old "looks like" a middle-aged woman as an insult is still ageism, as 26 is by no means middle aged nor a bad thing.

She's likely not playing a 26 year old Supergirl. We see...

Ageism.

noun
1.
discrimination against persons of a certain age group.
2.
a tendency to regard older persons as debilitated, unworthy of attention, or unsuitable for employment.

Your niece and nephew apparently have some visual acuity problems or they're being poorly educated by their uncle. Trunks look nothing like diapers.

Like most other folks who make these...

As the father of two girls who will likely want to watch this show, I'm thrilled her outfit is not only classic, but substantial. I also love that \S/. Hope the show is as good as the suit!

Yes, "here we go again," because there are those of us in the Superman fan community who loathe that film.

We also loathe being told to get over it, or as you put it, "whether you like it or not."...

Wow..."red diapers." It's comments like these that piss me off. I'm going to chalk this up to you lacking maturity and move on. As for capes, that's another invention unique to Superman's design:...

Let me offer this calming insight: New 52 Superman started off great in his own titles, was poorly-written in others (JL), went off the rails under Lobdell, and managed to get back on track with Pak....

This is obscure, but I think Xon-Ur, though not a true Kryptonian villain, could be easily be adapted to the current continuity.

He was a leader of the Holy Order of Rao, a religious cult opposed...

If the pre-Flashpoint (or pre-COIE) versions of Big 7 survive Convergence, especially Superman, I'll be happy and won't scream about anything. I wouldn't even beg for them to get a series. I just...

It's "albeit," not "I'll be it." Sounds similar, just like "would've" and "would of," but it's not.

On topic, I doubt DC is going to go for continuity limited to individual storylines after...

I prefer the Earth One Superman and Batman books to the New 52. I still think it's odd that these books were commissioned and then Flashpoint happened. As much as I enjoyed Morrison's Action run and...

I'm getting the main series and all of the Superman series except MoS. Had Simonson and Bogs returned to do it, it would be on the list as well. I'm also getting SofTB as that was probably my...

If I had my druthers, the Superboy Prime concept would be restored. This would a way of having the classic Superman with a new, modern twist: Superman is not only a character but also, a real person....

This discussion reminds me of the great Jon Bogdanove's art on the Man of Steel GA-era reality in the Dominus storyline. Bogs acknowledged the blue boots by having the blue pants show through red,...
