Lantern0212

April 12, 2012 10:35 pm Superman has never been my all time favorite comic book character. Do I think he's awesome? Absolutely, but he was just never my favorite because I preferred the world of Green Lantern and the "makes himself a badass because he wants to make a difference" of Batman. However, I have been reading the new Superman and Action Comics, and I enjoy them both. Like many people have said in this conversation, I don't want my Superman to be flawed. I want him to be better than me. Nobody broods better than Batman anyway. Regardless, I don't want him to be like me...I want him to be better than me. He's Superman. He's the ideal being that we can never be. The things that made him boyscout like in the past were the qualities I loved about him. It's still so early in the new worlds they're all creating with the New 52 though. I very much enjoy what they're starting out with, and I think it's only going to go up from here. The Superdoom plot that starts in #9 sounds like it's going to be excellent. I'll be staying with it. And if Jimski did say he was "worst superhero ever created, a flawed character with zero redeeming features, and to even try to like him, to even try to hope that the books would be good, was folly because the character itself was worthless", well, that's just stupid to say. Come on...he's SUPERMAN. If someone truly hates the character that much they shouldn't be commenting on them, they couldn't possibly be objective.
