    Post Superman's Red Trunks

    Is Red Trunks permanently Back? Currently, I'm seeing Superman with the trunks everywhere in the comics.

    No such thing as "permanently" in comics.

    But yeah, pretty much.

    At the end of the day, I prefer the red trunks.
    Maybe because that is how I saw him for most of my life
    or maybe when I see him in them I realize how foolish he looks
    how absurd and cartoonish ............. like something out of a comic book .

    Despite I said that I donīt hate the trunks. I only say that they can use one excuse for use Superman again without trunks during certain time.

    They can replace Clark temporarily for another character as Superman in the earth and this character donīt use trunks.

    I never had a problem with the trunks before they got rid of them. I just feel like since 2011, in many non-callback stories they became a symbol of the attitude that "he's not really Superman without the trunks" and I came to hate them.

    If that sentiment could go away, if they could stay gone and occasionally come back for nostalgia without the sense that the writer or artist is bitter that he doesn't wear them all the time, that'd be great.

    I mean heck, in Action # 1000, most of their appearances looked great. Natural. And then Jim Lee drew them and I just went "wow, he should never draw that costume again, it just looks really stupid." So I think Superman's costume should just be whatever thing the artist is best at drawing mixed with whatever the writer wants for the story, and without any lampshading.
    "You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
