The Official Superman Thread

Superman wasn't there when Lane killed himself. Supergirl and Lois were. She convinced Kara not to kill her father so he could face justice.

I think that Kara just wanted to watch him kill himself

Mostly DC is throwing it all under the rug, although at least it is being addressed in Supergirl.

And wow was General Ross' death lame. Love it when characters who have super-speed stand there like a deer in the headlights.

lulz. Confusion is inevitable when you've basically got the same character in two universes under different names.

No I meant to type that because it's a lame ripoff.

When they had a ban on there being other Kryptonians they created a new Supergirl that was basically an artificial life form. It was just another keeping the copyright active thing, but the character was pretty well liked by Post-Crisis fans. I could never decide if she was a callus business decision, an attempt to throw fans like me a bone or another slap in the face to fans like me...it was probably a little of all of those, though. I'm glad they brought back a version of Kara Zor-El but the current version is not as appealing to the more naive, sweet and innocent original. Ironically Superman himself has a lot in common with the original Supergirl nowadays personality wise. But being decent and sweet and naive and fumbling is fine for a supporting character, but not for Superman.

I've always felt Krypto was good fun and I like him with Kon-El too. And I love Ace...it makes sense Batman would have a dog, police use dogs and so does the military.

Thanks a lot mate!

As for Ace, i like him too, but he works better in Batman Beyond, guarding old Bruce.

I gotta say, Lex yelling "He's alive" is more awesome than it should be.

There should be lightning in the background

Colin Clive would have made a cool Luthor.

Got a picture of him Kurosawa?

 

[Kurosawa]

That Luthor scene was inspired from his famous "It's alive!" scene in the original Frankenstein and pretty much every movie mad scientist is derived from his portrayal in the first two Universal Frankenstein movies:

If he shaved his head he would look like a good Luthor

I just finished reading "The Death of Superman". The first part was strange...with the underworld monsters...but the Doomsday stuff was cool. For someone like me (being 20 years old) seeing the dated JLA stuff kind of took me out of it for a while. But once you strip away all of that...and get down to the core of the story...it really hit me hard.

"The Death of Superman" is one of the best comic book stories ever written. It's better when read in the 3 parts. If DC wrote every story that way, no other comic book company would compare to DC.

 

[Anubis]

I don't think you've read enough comic book stories for that to be an acurate statement.

No offense, but.....hahahahahahahahh!!!!!

 

[Comics N' Toons]

what the hell do you people mean? Anubis, how do u know how many books I've read? I own over 500 single issue stories and well over 100 trade paperbacks

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The belief that The Death of Superman is a staple of great comics is not a popularly held one.

 

[The Batman]

It is, however, the epitome of "shock" 90's storytelling.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I was never fond of Death of Superman. I liked World Without a Superman and Return of Superman well enough, though.

 

[Kurosawa]

He's right, actually. The Death of Superman is a great story. And it is best read in all 3 parts:

Part 1: Lex Luthor, Hero
Part 2: Luthor's Super-Bodyguard
Part 3: The Death of Superman

All from the guy who, you know, created the character.

The 1993 version is pretty good for a Post-Crisis story. At least Superman went out heroically.

 

[The Batman]

ohiseewhatyoudidthere!

 

[hippie_hunter]

The scene where Superman does die in the Death of Superman was very well done. The rest of the story, I really don't care either way.

 

[Mystirious]

Yeah, I was never fond of Death of Superman. I liked World Without a Superman and Return of Superman well enough, though.

I enjoyed the stories that spun out of it featuring Steel Superboy and the Cyborg
