Clark Kent: Superman Appreciation 2018

[BBally]

Everybody has their favorite version of Superman that they would prefer over others, for me however Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, Post Crisis, New 52, Shorts, George Reeves, Christoper Reeve, Smallville, Returns or Man Of Steel, it doesn't matter.

No matter how many reboots, new origins, reinterpretations or suit redesigns. In the end, he will always be




This thread is for fans of any version of Superman, whether main comic universe, Elseworld, TV, Film or Animation.


I understand there's a Superman General Discussion thread, however I thought making a thread dedicated to this idea was suitable, if not however then the Mod can close my thread or move any post on here to that thread.

UPDATE: I had to remove that wonderful Superman fanart on the first page because for some reason it was causing my Chrome browser to collapse. So instead I'm using that wonderful 75th Anniversary video DC did.

However, you can still find the fanart here for your viewing pleasure.

Now that looks like a great thread!

A great idea for a thread! We need more celebration of our heroes and less nitpicking about costumes and continuity.

Superman is the one who started it all and the ultimate super hero!

I'm glad that some people like this idea, I have my own preference (mostly Bronze Age with a bit of Silver Age and Post Crisis with possibly some Golden Age influence like New 52's Morrison jeans and t-shirt run) and there others I'm not fond of (Byrne's Krypton, the Birthing Matrix and Superman Returns) but I respect the rights for others to like versions I'm not a fan of and dislike versions I'm a fan of.

I really like this cover for 2013-2014 Adventures of Superman issue 16

Great Jon Bogdanove cover there, hes a big Wayne Boring fan. DC even told the MASTER Jose Garcia Lopez try to emulate Jon Bogdonaves style for official merchandise in the 90s.

That version of the character is my favorite.

Bog is probably the most criminally underrated Superman artist of the last 25 years. His Superman was a synthesis of Wayne Boring brawn, with Byrne dynamics wrapped in a Joe Shuster skin. He only got better as time wore on. His golden age three parter (which he co-wrote with Louise Simonson) during the Dominus arc was amazing.

I loved Bog's Golden Age inspired look for the character.

And some love for the Superman Family Superman.



And I just love the jeans and t-shirt "everyman" look

While I prefer the classic suit, I'm cool with the New 52 suit, true it can look clunky at times but it can look good when at the hands of a good artist:

I personally love all versions of Superman, but I wasn't really a fan of Bruce Timm's take on the character. He just felt bland to me.

Gee, I don't know if they can fit all 1,000 candles on my birthday that year.

Uh, why did this Superman thread suddenly wind up in the general "DC Comics" section of the Forum?

Is the Superman section being closed down or something?

I... have no idea what's going on here myself, Major.
