Superman: Still Awesome

[Ryujin]

Never forget that when Kevin Smith was approached before superman returns was made, they wanted him to put in a giant robot spider for superman to fight and he turned it down.

For reference:

Sorry, misread the question.

You might like the Absolute Superman comic, if you haven't already checked it out. It's not quite this but it's also not not this.

I bought and read the first trade paperback. I was genuinely excited when I realised it's written by Jason Aaron.

Really enjoyed it. A very cool take on Superman.

I also got the first Absolute Wonder Woman TP and enjoyed that too.

Now I gotta have a long hard think and decide if, after a life time, I might start reading DC on the regular.

I loved Absolute WW. Absolute Superman a bit less, and Absolute Batman a bit less after that.

I do think DC has done quite well with a lot of stories recently. Anything by Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Superman Son of Kal-El) and quite a lot of Waid (World’s Finest, Justice League Unlimited). Both are great at modern four-colour similar to the recent Superman film.

I loved Absolute WW.

I was a tad bamboozled by what Diana sees in Steve Trevor. Sure, he seems a decent guy, but she barely knows him so her sacrifice seemed... a lot. But that's the only bum note in the shole thing.

I especially loved that Diana was raised in Hades by Gillian Anderson.

I found myself wondering; what if the thread title was the title for an upcoming Superman movie. What would it be about? Would it be Logan like and old Supes goes on one last mission? Batman is in the wheelchair? Conner Kent's Superboy is found?

I don't know if it's in tpb yet, but my favorite of the Absolute universe is Absolute Martian Manhunter. It's weird in a very trippy way, like having a panel that's blank except for a character surrounded by dots and the reader is asked to help contain them by connecting the dots to make a cage.

The eternal question with Wonder Woman.
