Golden Age Lois fighting Superman & Superboy…LOLOL!!!I got to see that one.
Yeah she’s just holding back Ma Kent if I recall. GAWD my short term multibook crossover memory sucks…
BN Supes #2 in a nutshell-
[spoiler=]Supes-2 is trying to kill Conner and Kent, and their battle continues. Lois-2 is trying to kill Ma, but Ma manages to escape from her. On NK, Kara’s dad is about to rape her (hey you know you wanna tap dat ass!). Meanwhile, Smallville goes crazy when BL Psycho Pirate arrives and alters the emotions of everyone in town!
Issue ends with Ma ready to take on Lois-2![/spoiler]
Nice issue IMO.

Not bloody likely.

Please, no.
…but I liked some of his works =(
I do, too, but after seeing what he did with Star Trek… I just want something different for Superman. Abrams’s style is too modern. And by too modern, I mean he loves to do the bouncing camera/choppy cut style that will be looked back on someday as a campy relic of the 2000s. And I guess he gets bonus points for adding inexplicable and unnecessary lens flares to the mix.
A Superman movie needs to be a little more elegant, classical, and classy.
Hmm I don’t really notice those ‘modern’ stuff when I watched Star Trek. I’ll see if I could spot them when I watch the BluRay release ;3
…can we have some good action in it that amounts to at least 15 mins. of the movie…or even maybe 30?
Plenty. But think of it: an action sequence in which you can keep track of the characters, in which you can make sense of the geography of the scene, that flows beautifully like a piece of music! With carefully composed shots that look like they could have been designed by master comic book artists! With rich, vibrant colors! Instead of distracting the audience with a bunch of garbled visual nonsense, they could actually show us what’s happening. And make it look beautiful! That’s what I want.
I put together this little audio blog entry about the Superman theme, by John Williams. Many other Superman-related compositions are also referenced. They have much in common.
I’ve been re-reading the Johns Superman stuff starting with Up Up and Away. I’ve realized that the my main dislike of his work on the title is his portrayal of Clark Kent. It’s like every issue Johns has to include one scene that shows how aww sucks middle america heartland clark kent is, how he’s such a decent gee wilickers boy scout. It makes me want to puke and I just dont buy it. At the end of the day, the whole Clark Kent identity is an anachronistic holdover from the 1940s and a Superman as portrayed for the last 20 years would never waste half his time as a bumbling idiot reporter.
My own objection to the more modern takes on Superman is that I don’t think the writers understand Clark. They know he’s got some kind of significance to the whole identity of the character, but they seem to mostly assume that he has a yearning to make achievements as a human, to have the life of an ordinary man, and so on. Which is, of course, nonsense.
Not that Superman doesn’t need Clark, because he does. But it has nothing to do with regretting the life he chose for himself, or a lack of a sense of achievement.
My friends, you know me to be neither rash nor impulsive.
I’m not given to wild, unsupported statements.
But I tell you that this may be the greatest thing in the history of things.
Yeah it was a no-brainer that was coming out. It’s good because there arent enough Superman Absolutes, considering how many Batman ones there are. And For Tomorrow is basically terrible.
Bizarro am not interesting! You am smart!
Also Superman: Secret Origins #4 was awesome, I really moved by the final pages.
I advocate DC getting fucked in the face.
Nolan talks about working on the new Superman movie scripted by Goyer. He touches on the next Batman movie a little bit too.

No one talking about JMS taking over Superman? His essay was pretty damn good.
Well I don’t follow Superman books that much,butI’ll try to follow JMS’ run.If he can Thor around,then I believe he can work his magic with Supes’ & Wonder Woman.James Robinson’s Superman run to my understanding has been shitty
