    I need it.

    Okay, now, I gotta ask: the people saying Clark wouldn't be buff because he's too strong to effectively work his muscles.......come on guys. Think about it. All the heavy lifting on the farm, the wide open miles perfect for running, the quiet off the radar saves requiring stealth, speed, strength, and precision, all the battles against gods, demons, alien armies, manifested cosmic ideas.....think about the broken bones (and yeah, he's had them) and the impossible forces his body has had to literally push against. Clark Kent is a dude who has pushed his physical limits every day of his life. He wouldn't necessarily be gym rabbit swole (and he shouldn't be) but he's going to look rugged. Dude's a lumberjack, he should look like one.

    That Manapul art was used in the poster for the 2009 Joe Shuster Awards. That's how I remembered it.

    I guess my preference is where he's obviously very physically fit but in a realistic way(like Christopher Reeve or Henry Cavill). A bit slimmer than the usual artist renditions, but not as small as in the Earth One graphic novel. I liked the way the real-world Clark/Superman was drawn in Secret Identity, especially with the way the tights looked like tights rather than body paint.

    Now that's not to say I dislike the way he's drawn in some of the more popular renditions, like Swan, Lopez, Byrne, and Jurgens. Out of those four, my favorite would probably be Lopez. I understand that in comics, everything is a little exaggerated so even an average person who only just became a superhero is going to slap on a pair of tights and look extremely athletic.

    Looks like Francis Manapul is finally bringing his A-game to Superman, at least in Justice League. His variant covers for Action Comics seem a bit rushed.
