Eh, Im getting there. I mean, I liked Superman in Kingdom Come, Superman Peace on Earth, Superman for all Seasons, Superman Oydessy, and a couple of other titles, but he just so damned inconsistent the character is no fun at times. I mean, they re booted his title years ago to make the character more human and less god like, and what did they do? they went and ****ed everything up again. I want to see him deal with more human things instead of pushing around planets, dealing with some cosmic threat, or whatever.
About the closest they've ever come was a couple of years back when he dealed with spousal abuse, those where really good. It showed Superman busting into this guys house and stopping the husband from beating his wife, and Superman caught hell for it, from the wife. All of the power he posses's and he couldent do anything. The woman ends up being killed and Superman almost kills that guy because he's so angry...he was ragged looking, angry, human. A couple of good things, shows him as being more realalistic, more human, more entertaining... Thats why I like the Hulk so damned much, so deep, so understandable, so much fun. He's just a loose character, he can be funny as hell (The Big Change GN - him trying to "smash" the rain, and he cant do anything about it and ends up in the mud frustated, the things he says sometimes) or the most bad ass, most awesome, and one of the most powerful hero's in the MU.
He can go mindless and kill hundreds...or save the world and be compassinate, fall in love. Make a human friend, or be the last human on Earth, watching everyone die without remorse. because he's become so sick of everyone and everything. Or he can be a mean, loose cannon, like when he turned Grey. As he said "Im not that big brainless lug that liked beans and puppy dogs", a whole other dimension to his character right there. You get the point. I just want to see Superman stop being such a damned high and mighty unbeatable world icon and being a slightly more down to earth, human, more beatable character...
