Superman takes thread

Superman might be the most complex and layered character in comics. So saying he’s “just a nice farm boy who does the right thing” takes away from all the other interesting things he is (son of two worlds and neither, immigrant, god, man, angsty, immortal, etc)

New 52 Superman is good. Obviously Morrison is talked about quite a bit but Snyder, Pak and even Lobdell wrote good stuff that’s worth your while

I'm not arguing or debating with anyone about New 52, that's tiring but I just want to say I really love and enjoy a lot of New 52. I disagree with a lot of people when they say its bad.

One more reply but DC aging up Jon Kent was probably for me worse than anything New 52 did. I do love that they made Jon bi though and I did start loving the character with Superman Son of Kal El series. I still do complain about the age up sometimes though https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jwyk5kjc5foladnyvbq5jlj5/post/3lb3xbfvn7f2i

Aging up Jon Kent is the nadir of DC publishing for the past 8 years- DC’s “One More Day” decision, editorially imbecilic, beyond justification.

I really disagree with the edgelord argument because outside of Lee’s art I wasn’t getting that from him at all

Superman stories should tackle what it means to be immortal more. Imagine outliving all your friends, your wife, your son “What happens to the man of tomorrow when even tomorrow is a byegone era?” “Do truth and justice stand the test of time, even at its end?”

Superman doesn’t NEED trunks but I’ve yet to see an official design without trunks that looks as good or better

There was a long period of time where the people in charge of comics and movies decided that trunks or 'pants' as we call them in the UK were embarassing for superheroes/superheroines.
As such, this was phased out subtly.
I am glad that in this new era the new generation are resisting this.

Out of the versions of Superman the general audience seem to know, the Starman, ultimate symbol of hope is infinitely better than the injustice “one bad day from being a fascist” version. Both reduce the character so much though

Gene Luen yangs run is also quite good
