I liked it, it was like Ultmate Superman.So I take it no one liked Superman Birthright?
I'm a fan of alot of superman origins from birthright to superman for all seasons to MOS to even the silver and golden age origins because to me it's all original takes on the main points baby rockets from krypton to earth, found by kind couple, learns how to be a hero, moves to metropolis and fights for truth justice and american was as supermanI'm a fan of Birthright, but also MOS. That must make me an oddball.
Here's a preview of Secret Origins #1

AgreedI'm very optimistic. I love what Johns and Frank have been doing. I think that it's pretty well accepted that Clark is the real person and Superman is a vehicle for him to use his abilities.
I think superboy is an important part anywhere. here are my reasons for this thinkingI hate superboy in smallville,but i dont mind superboy in the future
Agreed another thing I wish thr Legion would just call him Superman like they did in thr Legion of Super Heroes cartoon.I hate superboy in smallville,but i dont mind superboy in the future
I like that Lois is the one that names him superman but I'm okay with him using superman as a codename for the LegionAgreed another thing I wish thr Legion would just call him Superman like they did in thr Legion of Super Heroes cartoon.
well the whole teenage Lex thing could have came from anywhere likeSuperboy as Clark Kent first meets Lex Luthor at the Smallville county fair?
Lex Luthor hates him for causing him to drop Kryptonite and cut his hand? Teenage Lex Luthor in Smallville and Clark rescuing Lana from a tornado are obviously for the Smallville TV show fans.

It's a miniseries that we'll talk about the flashbacks that happened since ifinite crisis as well as what might happen later in superman comicsI've been a bit disconnected from the comics world. Is the Secret Origin a miniseries? Or will it reboot the whole Superman comics series?

Actually, I'm pretty sure Smallville got it from Jeph Loeb's Superman: For All Seasons mini.
So far, I think this will be the best version of Superman's origin yet! If there is anyone who can write Superman in this day and age, it's Geoff Johns! I loved "Last Son", "Escape from Bizzaro World" and of course "Brainiac", so I'm certain that this will be awesome. Plus, the artwork is some of the best I ever seen in a Superman comic.
This origin will probably take the best elements from all his previous origin stories (Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron/Modern) and combine them to make a definitive version of his origin for this era.
Also, I think this one will be way better than John Bryne's take on Superman. I don't think his version is bad, but it's not as good as other versions. He did some good things for Supes by powering him down and giving him more personal conflict, but sometimes I think he gave him too much. He made him less about kicking bad guy ass and more about whining about not being around for Lois enough.
John Byrne didn't do anything with Brainiac. That was Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway who created the Vril Dox Brainiac in 1988. I prefer the H.R. Giger influenced design of the robot Brainiac by Ed Hannigan in 1983 along with the Skull Ship.Also, I think he kind of screwed up his rogues gallery. He ruined the simple concept of Brainiac being a computer from space
Making Lex Luthor sympathetic had diluted Luthor's evilness. I prefer Luthor to be an unsympathetic vicious sadistic bastard with a god-complex like he was in the Golden Age.and he made Lex Luthor all together evil, taking away that element of tragedy from his character.
It's difficult to be proud of a dead planet that is so foreign to him. Krypton is alien to him. He would actually have a problem trying to understand what being Kryptonian is all about. All he has really known his entire life is Earthlings and Earth culture as he was raised assimilated into Earths Kansas farm culture as a baby. He grew up in a very loving household raised by two Earthlings that were parents in every conceivable way. The only parents he had ever known. He is formed by the Kent's upbringing and views his Kryptonian heritage only as a curious memento of a life that might have been.And I hated how he made him dislike his Krytonian heritage. He should be proud to be of both Krypton and Earth.
