The Official Superman Thread

[Super_Child]

God I cant wait for this I really cant. I am not reading any Superman book at the moment until this comes out.

Who's Greg Rucker? Greg Rucka never even started his run on Supergirl either.

yes he did, he did the first issue, then now if you look at it it says story by greg rucka and wretten by kelly

 

[The Batman]

so, does the creative team on this book mean that Action Comics is the flagship superman title, or is that busieks book?

 

[The Sage]

the idea of lois wanting to have a kid with clark was introduced in rucka's run, long before the movie was even finished filming....so i do not think its a case of comics immitating their movie counterpart.

Most definitely.

Can't wait for this. Should be a classic.

The thing about that one is that Johns has already demonstrated that he can't write Superman's rogues without turning to the Silver Age stories for influence, and/or contradicting their previously established personalities. The only exception to this, it seems, is the Prankster.

I will be completely and utterly surprised if he actually brings anything new to the table for Superman's villains that doesn't contradict what we already know about them. Angry Bizarro is already bordering on this.

Nothing wrong with turning to Silver Age. You didn't like how he wrote Lex Luthor?

Who wants to bet Lex Luthor will start wearing a wig next time we see him?

I'm probably the only person who doesn't mind Lex wearing wigs as long as it's meant to act as a disguise.

You did?

Hell no? What was your first clue?

 

[Darthphere]

I always enjoy Luthor in Kryptonian krystal armored robot launching tanks.

 

[The Question]

Wait, that was Luthor? I thought Snidely Whiplash had gone bald.

 

[Not Jake]

Ummm no, Snidely Whiplash has a moustache, duh The Question

 

[Spike_x1]

His lip went bald too.

 

[jaydawg]

Ugh, Superman just keeps getting worse. Yet another crappy version of Krypton? Angry Bizarro? I love Donner's original film, but it wasnt a good representation of Superman's world. I swear, if Luthor becomes all campy....

 

[Darthphere]

At least were not getting Brando Jor-El.

 

[Fledermaus]

No, you're gettin Connery Jor-el. Will it be James Bond Connery or Highlander Connery?

 

[Archangel]

Zardoz Connery.

 

[Fledermaus]

Holy s**t. When asked why he wears red underwear on the outside of his pants, Superman answered, with a tear in his eye, "In memory of my father."

 

[The Sage]

You did?

Yes, actually. Though it's been a while since I read it but I remember it being good.

Hell no? What was your first clue?

The hatred spewing from your avatar.

 

[The Punisher]

I'll be getting this for sure.

 

[Ben Urich]

This sounds really cool
Angry Bizarro sounds awesome.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Does anyone know What Lois Lane will look like ?

 

[GyLocke]

Up Up and Away killed Lex Luthor's character for a lot of us.

 

[Orko Is King]

That's some gorgeous art right there. I'm really looking forward to seeing some finished interior pages.

 

[Orko Is King]

In case some haven't seen it yet...

 

[The Sage]

Up Up and Away killed Lex Luthor's character for a lot of us.

Sorry to hear that.

 

[GyLocke]

Whoa, what did those guys do to piss Supes off like that?

 

[jaydawg]

Tell him the plot of Superman Returns.
