It was suppose to be one night of no Superman-ing…

perry white (speaking at clark’s funereal): Clark was a great man and a great journalist, he will be missed….but not as missed as those DAMN sport articles HE NEVER WROTE. SO HELP ME, KENT… I WILL DIG YOUR ASS UP MYSELF! JENNY GET ME MY FUCKING SHOVEL!
I love when people write these articles like “what’s wrong with Superman” wondering why he isn’t as popular as he was and why Batman and other characters have surpassed him in popularity because they always bring up Christopher Reeve and question why comics and films can’t just make the character like Reeve’s version. And when I say “love” I mean I hate it when people write these articles because they literally answer their own question.
Maybe the reason Superman isn’t as popular as Batman anymore is because while Batman has been allowed to change with the times from West to Keaton to Bale gatekeeping nerds have decided Superman can only be this perpetually smiling two dimensional 50s throw back alpha male.
Thank you so much @teamsupes for saying what I have been trying to put to words for years.
I mean compare the first four Batman films to the first four Superman, even with the critically maligned Batman and Robin you at least still have a film that attempted to go in a bold way that was removed from what Burton did.
Whereas with pretty every Superman from 1983-2006 you have films that tried way to hard to mimic what Donner had done and failed, or succeeded with Donner had done previously but unfortunately don’t stand well as films in their own right (Superman Returns I am looking at you).
Look I love the first two Dick Donner films, I own both of them on Blu-ray and I still find them to be classics after all these years. But, I am so thankful that Zack Snyder came around and went in different directions with the character and lore, here and there.
With both Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman, Snyder really succeeded in making Superman connect with the 21st century in a way that I didn’t think was possible and I am very thankful for that.
I love the Dick Donner films but I have already seen them and can go back to them whenever I want to, I want to see new dimensions of my favorite character explored, dimensions that I know have been seen in many various comics. Burton and Nolan did a great job with their reinterpretation of Batman, so whi is such a problem when Snyder does it with Superman?
I think the Man of Steel sequel should just be about Clark and Lois happily living their life together because lord knows they’ve suffered enough.
entire movie is about them planning for their baby, including creating a nursery and baby proofing their house, and when the baby is born, its a boy and lois decides to name it after Clark’s father. Martha goes full grandma.
I want 50 minutes of that to be Clark and Lois trying to build IKEA furniture.
Okay but remember that video going around of that husband and wife shopping at ikea and the dude just kept making puns out of the furniture names? That but with Lois and Clark.
critics would probably still complain that it’s too dark and gritty and not enough fun
Public: Superman is a danger! He’s only brought destruction and death
Meanwhile Clark Kent: *looking at flowers in the grocery store*
Media: Superman, friend or foe?
Meanwhile Clark Kent: does Lois like roses or tulips?
Government: This alien is a menace! Such a dangerous creature should be locked away or killed!
Meanwhile Clark Kent: you know I think I’ll go with the tulips
Lex Luthor: LOOK AT THIS MONSTER. THIS FALSE GOD. ALL HE WANTS IS TO TURN HUMANITY INTO MINDLESS SLAVES!
Meanwhile Clark Kent: maybe I’ll make dinner tonight too…
Fantastical, samurai, warrior, justice trinity thing! I think an adventure featuring a version of Superman and friends set in a fantasy driven Edo/early Meiji Japan would be fun. Beyond that I honestly have no idea what this is supposed to be you guys…
I drew the first image (the one with the green smoke and them all in profile) back in 2013. I ran across it on my computer and I thought it looked kinda cool so I decided to make prints and take it to Heroescon. I got really great feedback so last week I drew these character designs and illustrations kinda based off the style of the original drawing. 😀
yes i want it
