Posted Hide Post I think the movies are the reason I never respected the comic much. Superman's just so . . . broad. And, particularly in the movies, he's the only creature even remotely like him. No Darkseid or anyone to match up against him. Apart from Nuclear Man or whatever his name was. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar

Furious Knows what a real civil war should be Member	Posted Hide Post I like the idea (focusing on Red Son here) where Luthor thinks of himself as a hero by defeating the 'alien'. I have to read that again.

Posted Hide Post I've come to like the character a lot more, post-Crisis. They managed to find villains that could realistically pose a threat to Supes without being able to literally rip the world in two, they gave him problems mortals could relate to, more or less and, by crikey, if I didn't cheer just a little bet when Doomsday punched his ticket. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar

Furious Knows what a real civil war should be Member	Posted Hide Post I think I saw on Cartoon Network a plug for the Superman/Doomsday DVD, covering the death, rebirth, and mullet of Supes.

MeanBatwoman will crush you with her mighty shoe Member	Posted Hide Post Maybe they were hoping his life would turn out like Secret Identity by Busiek. Instead of going vague and naming him Clark Kent or Kal El they were hoping the fates would get the hint if they call him Superman...

Posted Hide Post Well, I don't know if you read the article I linked, but the last name's completely legit - a real Javan last name that probably wouldn't have attracted much attention, were it not for the first name, which isn't Javan at all. Well, at least he's not Aquaman bin Suparman. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar

MeanBatwoman will crush you with her mighty shoe Member	Posted Hide Post Sorry, I did, I was actually referring to the Wheaton's naming their child Superman. I just forgot to include the quote indicating that. Total geek moment, with Aquaman bin Suparman in my head I just combined the uniforms and put it on a tiny baby. Gonna be giggling for a bit.

Posted Hide Post Definitely not. I really do wonder how the Kents made it past Kal-el's toddlerhood. I mean, Brandon's a year and a half and, so far as a know, completely non-Kryptonian, but when he punched me in the junk tonight, I really, really thought I might be sick, right then and there. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar

Posted Hide Post I once had my jaw dislocated by a 13 month old. Some kids just have a really high strength to weight ratio... What origin is Superman on right now? They change it every few years now it seems, and sometimes he gained powers as a toddler, others not till he was a teen. Can you imagine a super-powered-I-want-icecream-for-breakfast temper tantrum? (or as we were required to call them at the preschool I worked at, episodes)

Posted Hide Post I really don't know. One of the things I love about DC is that, regardless of which incarnation of their universe I'm looking at, Superman's still a Boy Scout, Batman still kicks everyone's ass and I really don't care about anyone else. __________ AJGraeme "You see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it." -Taylor Mali "I am a sexy, shoeless god of war." -Belkar

Furious Knows what a real civil war should be Member	Posted Hide Post BWAGH! Caught my crabby-ass self grumping from nine months ago! Creepy... edit: I'm more of a Green Lantern fan than Supes. Seems that the best Superman stories are 'What If's' nowadays...

MeanBatwoman will crush you with her mighty shoe Member	Posted Hide Post I prefer DC over Marvel, but sometimes it gets difficult to follow all the origin changes the characters go through. Whether it's an all out universe wide change or the always present "everything I thought I knew is incorrect" story arc. Bunneh man, Hal, Kyle, John, or Guy? Just curious.

Furious Knows what a real civil war should be Member	Posted Hide Post I liked the idea of a noob GL, but geez, he has the willpower to control the ring and he's whiney? Doesn't add up. I do like the Kyle lantern-symbol style ring better than the Hal Jordan circle ring or Alan Scott mini-lantern ring.
