He's a good man who wants to use his powers to do good. <br />The big problem is that people try to make Superman hip and edgy but A CLASSIC character never needs to change. To me Superman is timeless due to his internal character and his values. And it's his values that make him a hero.

There should no debate about that. It's like they don't know how to write this character. What's Superman's motivation? Simple: he is someone who does the right thing, because he was raised right by his adoptive parents. He has incredible powers, and uses those powers to inspire not to rule. Is everyone at DC so cynical and jaded that they don't understand that? So they have to darken Superman up, just so they can wrap the minds around the character? Funny how 20 years ago John Bryne and Jerry Ordway were able to write stories about the "World biggest boy scout" and still make him a complex and compelling character.Now-a-days nobody seems to know what to do with Superman. Sad. Even sadder because I thought Superman was supposed to be DC's flagship character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-63713577374785866092015-04-14T22:16:41.310-07:002015-04-14T22:16:41.310-07:00I'm skeptical about the "learning self-co...I'm skeptical about the "learning self-control from fathers" bit, only because I'm cynical about seemingly simple statements, but it does seem like this version takes both the harshness of the Golden Age and the Superdickery of the Silver Age and cranks it up beyond acceptable levels.Draghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712408013859542861noreply@blogger.com
