Caville will be a hard act to follow.

Superman has always been boring since he is so powerful it's not like there are situations where he doesn;t just overpower everyone by just being powerful.

The whole point of Superman when it's good is restraint and decision making, even while completely overpowering the enemy. You're like the US military, you could just nuke Afghanistan. But the world after that would be so much worse, so what do you do instead?

The ones where he's the villain are especially good. Explored in some Superman releases, and also the whole premise of The Boys.

But I fucking loved Smallville for a while, I don't even care if you have issues with it.

The only time Superman gets any drama is when people he cares about are in danger.

I've always preferred the Dr Manhatten approach to all powerful characters. Why would they care about us ants?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah he's pretty lame as a character to build a story around.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Superman is infinitely more interesting than the 37 Batman iterations we've gotten over the last 60 years.

Fighting for lies, injustice... the american way

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to see a superman movie where he decides to fight white collar crime or starts kidnapping billionaires.

Red Son, but Pa Kent was a radical demsoc.

Omg pls no stop it

Looks more like standing on tip toes with a stretched out neck than flying

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

idk about that, looked right to me

What I noticed is it's no longer Henry, and started thinking I hope we get the 40k thing he was talking about.
