A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I was thinking about it, and I can actually envision it. But I bet some people would HATE it. The character suits his style though. He has clauses in his contracts where he can never lose a fight, he can never look bad, ect ect ect. And that's Superman in a nutshell. There's no stakes, because he never loses. It's right up his ally.

Clark has to be a believable dork. The Rock is really not.

Even Henry Cavil was a stretch.

Henry Cavill is an unbelievable dork/nerd in real life too though

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

We never really saw Cavill being Clark unfortunately. I think he could have crushed it but it was very clear Snyder and Terio had zero interest in Clark.

How about Micheal Cera, or Steve Corell? Or is that TOO far in the opposite direction?

Ok, Steve Corell as superman is kinda intriguing.
