[Asgard]

He oughta kick balls.

Its dirty but that stuff gets the job done quick.

Also the way he fights in Superman Batman Public Enemies is awesome

I watched his fight with Mongul recently, and dug the hell out of it!

I see him as a mix of the brute force of the Hulk, with some of the skill of Batman...

Definitely a destroyer when he has to be, but a skilled combatant when there's someone at his power level... But not so much that he'd mop the floor with them

I love the way he fights in the Fleischer cartoons. The fact that he struggles only makes it look more amazing when he succeeds.

True story... But that's taking him down a few more pegs, power wise, than even STAS.

Though seeing his plane landing in "Japoteurs" made an impact on me as a kid...

 

[KrypJonian]

Wait, now that I think about it, STAS was pretty close to Fleischer in terms of power...

Interesting...

 

[db85usa]

He needs to fight like Steven Seagal anything else is unacceptable IMO.

Fleischer toons are still amazing to this day. The animation is masterful and still better than most of the stuff thats being chucked at kids these days at least in terms of detail and movement.

Really a shame what's happened to most animation.

Agreed!

Try studying animation in college... Fleischer is that much more of a lost art, you'll never see it again...

Though that Disney guy that did that fan animation himself is nothing short of brilliant...

They're incredible still to this day

Unless you're using crappy Adult Swim toons as your main point of reference, modern animation is progressing wonderfully.

 

[Lencho01]

I vaguely remember that. But I want to see it in live action, with a ripple effect taking apart enemy tanks, etc.!

That wouls be pretty cool to see.

I'd agree with that I dont watch alot of it but anime is pretty stunning and if anyones watched the new Young Justice show the animation in that is brilliant

Also another great example of a Superman fight:

Looks like Henry Cavill is not only lifting weights but learning how to fight as well. I wonder what style Superman will be using in the film.http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=21045

 

[PIBagent]

Personally I see Superman as more of a well rounded mixed martial artist. Wich is propably what Henry Cavill will be learning from Damon Caro anyway.

 

[spideydave]

I know this has probably been posted but he should fight like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoJ2Bd41zsw

 

[PIBagent]

After re-readind several of my comics I learned that Ted Grant (The superhero Wildct) Taught superman how to box! So personally id like to see Superman use boxing and wrestling moves along with his powers!

Adult Swim plays FMA: Brotherhood and Bleach (when playing the cannon episodes) by the way which has incredible animation although I never was really referring to the Japanese but American animation.

I guess I should be more specific and say that a large number of American toons have slipped from what they used to be although there are exceptions of course. BTAS, Young Justice, DC animated, SSM, Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I was sort of bathing in hyperbole as there are still really good American animators its just that we need more toons like the ones mentioned and less Johnny Test type of garbage.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

like a !!

 

[PIBagent]

After looking up Damon Caro i havent been able to pin point his martial arts style. Im certain that what ever his fighting style is he'll train Cavill and his opponent in it.

There is also the possibility that they will create a unique fighting style for Superman as The Keysi fighting method was created for Batman. After all there are two Kryptonian martial arts, The lethal Horu Kanu (wich is akin to aikido) and The passive Klurkor (wich is akin to Judo). Im sure either styles can applied in a non "matrix" fashion!

[Rodrigo90]

He should fight like a (Super)man.

 

[The Shield]

I say that all the time. Fleischer is still putting lazy animators to shame. Sure they save time with there methods but they're sacrificing quality

a combination of the 2
the speed of the 2nd with the moves of the first video since he wouldnt be trained in wing chun

 

[PIBagent]

Id love to see superman learn a martial arts style, not just wrestling or boxing considering he's taking on heavy hitters such as Darksied or Brainiac or General Zod himself!

Superman needs to lean how to fight and just use his powers and not just hope the villian falls ass backwards on his on sword like the used to on smallville!

 

[Kal-El.9859]

he should fight like a bat out of hell
