Comic Books
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’m a casual fan when it comes to Superman. Johnson is too one-note imo. I can’t see him conveying the genuine kindness of Clark Kent or Superman without trying to put a vapid cheeky, edgy, or ironic spin on it. The stakes of Superman often don’t come from what can defeat him in combat, but what can destroy what he cares about and his ability to defend it. Also, I don’t think the iconic hairstyles would look right on Johnson’s head since he’s known for a bald or short-haired look. Another commenter mentioned how Johnson has more of a bodybuilder form, which seems too exaggerated for the character to me as well. I thought his portrayal of Black Adam was fine, but it’d be weird seeing him switch to a foil character in the same general franchise (but different universe) so soon, not that other actors haven’t successfully made that switch themselves.
