That's exactly why the pre-crisis Superman was so awesome. Read it (link above).

Very cool story. I love reading the Bronze Age stuff like that.

You know, when I was a little kid I thought these were great .....

I haven't been 11 years old in a long time.

We didn't lose anything. Those stories are still out there somewhere in collected form if you feel the need to read them.

Me? I prefer to have Superman more of a serious character.

Start reading another character. You do not seem to like Superman.

Telling others that because they like the version they like more than they like the version you like that they do not like Superman is childish and immature.

The character don't have to change, readers have to move on.

I've been a reader of Superman at least a decade longer than you and know a lot more about the character than you... so I'd stop if I WERE you.

that's hardly believable. Be a little bit more mature.

I started reading Superman before I started Kindergarten. At 5 years old, as a matter of fact. It was how I learned to read.

I was born in 1955.

I would hazard a guess that's a least a year or two longer than you.

And I've been reading the character pretty steadily since then, watched him in every incarnation on television, seen all the films. Drawing Superman was how I learned to draw.


There isn't a person on these boards who can tell me I don't know the character. I've lived through every change they've foisted on the character since the 1950's. I even bought the books during the Swan years when DC was being trounced by Marvel and the Superman books were at an all time low in sales. I love Swan but his artwork wasn't all that exciting.
