I was under the impression taht this filmsimply erased the memory of Superman 3 and Superman 4, while being a direct sequel to #2(the best of the four films). Perhaps I was wrong.
thats the problem, dc charachters are too iconic, theyre the hero before the CHARACHTER. the best Charachter would probably be wolverine, just because he has real problems, controlling his animal nature, coping with his past, fallen love interests, etc. spiderman is one dimensional, just kinda always smilin and crackin one liners, hes a great charachter, but wolverine is the best CHARACHTER in comics today

McDonald's is iconic too, doesn't make it gourmet food.
The movies (1 and 2) and Christopher Reeve's portrayal are what drives nostalgia for the character, for me at least.
(BTW it's probably been brought up before and I'm not knocking the movies they were great but did anyone notice the blatant product placement when they first watched it. Supes is thrown into a Marlboro truck and then a Marlboro billboard 😂 I'm sure I saw the word Marlboro a couple dozen times)

Interesting appraisal. I tend to agree except on a scale from -10 to 10, with 0 being neutral, I'd only have him around 3 to 4 or so.McDonald's is iconic too, doesn't make it gourmet food.

Well honestly...
ive been reading the lst few comics, written by Verheiden... alot of it is narrative by Lois, and i found it incredibly inciteful...

As for The Movies.....the one with the Black programmer just was freaking funny.....I loved that one....the one with the Kryptonians.....lame really...and where did he get all this strange superpowers from.....I would have hoped that they'd at least base him on the new...less moonpushing Superman after the Crisis.....but ok......

That's what I am saying...the new movie doesn't need to be based on the Pre-Crisis Superman or the first two movies for that matter....
Well I don't really think so...I can't stand Superman either way...but I will look into it....not sure if the ones you are talkignaboot are out yet though...

Yeah, i see what you mean...
Well i've read them... superman v2, from #204 onwards... #217 is when it really gets good imo...
Question: I still have not heard anything conclusive on Superman Returns Being based in Pre-Crisis, or Post-Crisis times. Or, at least his powers being Pre-Crisis or Post-Crisis.
Now I know its a "sequel" to movies that were Pre-Crisis, but does that mean that Superman Returns will be Pre-Crisis too?
I hope not...
Or rather, I hope his powers are not Pre-Crisis powers...
😬

What are you a time traveler with down syndrome? I'm assuming you traveled through the space/time continum and and got off in June 2006 just in time to catch Superman Returns and came back and wrote this bizzare post.
Magical.? Please. A new Superman movie is Due. And now is the best time for the Ultimate Superhero to claim the comicbook movie world. it's time for "Spiderman" to get lorded over.
Comicbook movies are the best thing now. It's only right for the Man of Steel to Return .
Superman imo isn't the best character. He is however the first superhero, and the icon because of that fact. The best character varies according to tastes. My favorite is Batman, yours may be Superman, but to say he exceeds all other creations is only applicable to your tastes. I prefer Orion to Superman when it comes to big brawler types, yet i fear his potential will never be fully realized. So i'd nix the superman is the best character bloat, and admit he is an important one, both inside and out of comicbooks.
