    Therein lies the challenge for Clark I think. Given his upbringing by the Kents, he would certainly believe in the possibility of trying to influence someone as powerful as Maxima for the better. In...

    Maybe, but there was something very Nietzschean about Maxima when she was first introduced. She is certainly repressing a lot of things when she breaks with the tradition of her people by refusing to...

    Technically, Maxima found Superman's refusal to obey Mongul's order to kill Draaga intriguing. Maxima's handmaiden, Sazu, warned that displays of mercy such as these were evidence of a fatal flaw in...

    I was surprised at how powerful Superman was when he turned up at the end, although this happened on the heels of showing Superman out in space having a sun bath. I'm inclined to think that the space...

    I think it's a fair point that an advanced civilization like Almerac would be familiar with how technology can provide an alternative answer for continuing the bloodline. However, Almeracians are...

    Agreed. From her inception she's been into men. I understand why they felt like they needed to tweak her because her sexuality is a big part of a narrative where she is 'turned down' by Superman, but...

    Using well-known source material as a foundation to tell new stories sounds like a great idea to me. Unfortunately, because 'Death of Superman' is so well-known in comics, it's low-hanging fruit that...

    This looks like a company managing decline.

    Part of what made the comic world seem bigger is that Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Batman and Aquaman had their hands full with other challenges when...

    What exactly has Cheetah's cunning behavior done to make characters around her deceived and vulnerable without them knowing it? Bear in mind that one particular DC nemesis has used their predatory...

    I have to agree with Frank Cho's sentiment regarding Cheetah.

    The Barbara Minerva version by George Perez and Len Wein from the 80s is powerful on paper. However, what makes a character especially...

    It's an argument worthy of the overt sexism being implied by the 'Women make 77 cents on the dollar that a man makes for the same work' claim. It's against the law for the employers of a company to...

    The relevance is that the same obfuscations existed in the 80s. Not taking part-time/full-time work into account. Lumping single and unmarried women into the same category. Those are just two...

    I just gave you a philosophical argument, and your rebuttal is to call it non-research, and bs?

    Here. Try economics and sociology.

    Once upon a time, feminism was an important movement in the west for achieving equality under the law, but it isn't anymore. For example, the wage gap myth that was mentioned earlier in this thread...

    Yeah, he comes down a little on the whiny side. Considering how much humor was missing from MOS, I'm not convinced yet that we'll find any with this Lex when the overall tone of what we've seen so...

    I figured he was making a quip by alluding to redcoats, but there's only one guy with a red cape. It doesn't quite follow. Maybe I'd be in on the joke if I was from the US.

    I'm not convinced that this is going to be good. I've heard that they're trying to cram way too much into this movie.

    That being said, the only thing I didn't like in this trailer was Jesse...

    Did he even have a backstory originally? Lex Luthor coming from Smallville is a 1960s story that basically explains how he ended up bald.

    Maybe you're not quite suggesting this, but I don't think it's fair to pin Superman's lack of growth on fans who won't let Christopher Reeve go. If we're just talking about films, the superhero movie...

    I think this touches on what I suspect is true. Values have changed in the past 75 years. In general, people don't trust someone with that much power anymore. When someone who isn't an underdog...
