Superman OYL - SPOILERS

[BrianWilly]

I don't see how anything short of Superboy getting killed is going to keep him off of the Titans.

Honestly, at this point? Him not surviving is probably one of the more likely outcomes of the Crisis.

True enough, sadly. I really hope they don't, as Superboy's such a good character.

i will be seriously pissed if they kill him, but come on, if he dies, i wouldnt see it being much longer till he came back to life

 

[Lackey]

Oh, I wasn't reading Superman comics around that time.

it was a subplot of Jeph Loeb's that seemed to be building to something good, but then he moved on without having time to do anything with it so Joe Kelly just used Manchester Black to tie up the loose end.

It's cool. If you decipher the Kryptonian in Superman: Birthright, most of it just reads "KRYPTONIAN GIBBERISH"

I actually knew that already because I memorized the Kryptonian alphabet years ago when they first introduced it.

You are officially creepy...

 

[Spike_x1]

You should have seen some of my posts on the old CINO board. You don't know my kind of creepy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't want to.

 

[Spike_x1]

At least I don't know Klingon. Or Elvish.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Neither do I.

 

[yenaled]

Neither do I. Q'apla!

 

[TimDrake64x]

lol, wow this just got really weird, so back to supes...

 

[Green Lantern]

I know some elvish

 

[fifthfiend]

lol, wow this just got really weird, so back to supes...

I don't know, can Supes speak Klingon?

 

[supes_el]

If Star Trek exists in the DCU (which i am pretty sure does...as i remember someone saying something about Star Trek one time) then yes, I assume Supes knows Klingon

Okay, NOW back to Supes...really ^^

Man I so wanted Conner to be defending Metroplis...He better not be dead...Not after TT Annual 1...On another note, Luther has now resorted to street thug tactics..lol

SUPERMAN #650

REVIEW:
This is it! One Year Later (OYL). This point is a new beginning for old readers but THE beginning for new readers. In terms of Superman, setting him up in OYL, they mentioned what they wanted to do with him. I didn't want to listen to their plans so I can read this freshly.

Let's go, THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR...!

Story: Its been a year since anyone has seen Superman. Reason? Clark Kent has been stripped of his powers. But is he down on his luck? Nope. As he says, its been a good year and a good life for him since. But Luthor is freed from jail. And because Clark has been badmouthign Luthor, Lex has it out for Clark. And he has something, something...Kryptonian.

This issue felt somethign for me. It felt refreshing, open, light, it was great. Again, just like Detective #817 and pretty much every OYL title, this is a setup story. But despite that, you get your money's worth. Theres action of not SuperMAN but SuperGIRL, scenes of Lois and Clark that is love, the bad guy scenes of Luthor, and a shocker.

Everythign here was real and bright. Of course, people have been complaining about this issue because it uses the Daily Planet and its globe from Superman Returns. I don't find it bad. Its only when they use TOO MUCH from the film that I would find it problematic.

The shocker? Wanna know it now? Well theres a scene where Luthor takes out a kryptonian crystal with kryptonian markings on it. Take the Kryptonian font that you can dl and translate what it says. What does it say? DOOMSDAY.

To end this, this was a great issue. Despite the fact it was a setup, its still good for old readers and the same goes for new ones. OYL is looking good.

RATING: 8.5/10

He can't be dead. What if he got Wonder Girl preggy? Did they use protection?

 

[Spike_x1]

EDIT: sorry, I'm half asleep and don't know what's going on.

 

[TimDrake64x]

if he did then the oyl would be a great way to do it cause then u dont have to show her pregnant and such and it just works itself out

Protection? A condom wouldn't work against super-man juice. It would have had to have been made of Kryptonite or something, and I'm sure that would have been painful for Cassie.

 

[regwec]

I must say that the Supergirl issue is the worst possible scennario as far as I am concerned: she isn't dead, and she is still being worshipped by writers despite her overwhelming shortcomings.

As for Clark losing his powers, Alex Luthor said, in I.C. Secret Files: "He's dead. He's alive. He's Changed. He's normal again. It's like he went through some kind of cycle". Is it possible that Clark's current state is a part of an extended cycle?

 

[TimDrake64x]

wow man thats trippy

 

[Binker]

They talked about Clark and Lois on their panels. Please tell me that ain't breaking up.

This is one of the few titles I’m still collecting after the Infinite Crisis. I am enjoying it so far, what with Lex having the crystal, Superman being human, I cannot wait to see what happens next.

And I'm also quite enjoying the use of Kryptonian font.

can't wait to confuse all my friends on AIM

 

[Spike_x1]

I'm hoping for a chance to use it in the DC RPG, but I have to get a character who knows Kryptonese before I can credibly do it.
