Superman Appreciation

[FirestormTheNuclearMan]

I'd also like to add this is the most pathetic portrayal of Superman/Clark. Atleast before he pretended to be a goof tripping over things, and he still had a positive outlook (because he obviously knows whats going on) witty remarks and come backs and conducted himself as a respectable man. But its not like he was pathetic wimp like he was in those panels.

So he was really wimpy here?

Batman how unwise throwing a futile punch, clearly shows Batman has no chance vs Superman in a random encounter.

I did not like the "Grounded" storyline, but I really liked these covers.

Looks like a muscle head trying impress some chick.

Come on, Lex, he was young and stupid at the time. Give the lad a break, will ya?

He's not like that anymore, and the costume is much better.

By the time he is Superman he should be beyond such things. Why he is Superman and not Superboy.

Because that's what Lois Lane called him when she saw him. Was he gonna go over to her and say "um ms sorry but I'm only 21 so maybe you should hold off on calling me that till I'm 30"? No, no he wasn't because that's not what was important. He didn't even have a name till then and he most likely wouldn't have thought twice if things had stayed like that but Lois called him Superman and it stuck. A 21 year old MAN is considered a MAN and with out the person telling you they were 21 you would have no idea. You'd just think they looked good or were in there early 20's.

Also if you ask me I think that he looks like a man who looks like he's go the situation under control and is't that what people in the position of being saved would want from the one saving them. A big friendly smile to somehow look nonthreatening while holding up a TRUCK. I know I don't want my guy all flustered like he can't hold the thing up and it's gonna drop and kill us all.

just sayin

How do you guys feel about the Man of Steel costume?
I don't like it. Looks like a wetsuit to me. And man, oh man does he need those trunks.

[Sacred Knight]

I think if anything, time to get used to the new suit in the comics has shown me just how unimportant the trunks are, not how much they're needed.

Something seems to be missing from the MOS suit though, but I don't know what plans they might have in post-production in regards to how it'll actually appear on-screen so I'll wait and see. But its nothing that can only be cured by trunks.

[KurtW95]

I just think a certain bulge is more visible without the trunks.

[Sacred Knight]

Its not the bulge that's more visible, its the general area altogether because your eyes are simply drawn to the area of change. If they kept the trunks and made his boots blue, everyone's eyes would be focused on his feet, and so on. And that's something that will simply fade with time. There's nothing inherent about the lack of trunks though that magically make the junk pop out.

it going to take a VERY, VERY Long time because the classic suit isn't going anywhere any time soon on merchandise and other product.
