Why is it that nowadays Supes only looks good in non-cannon stories?

Meh, he has plenty of great showings in dcnu as well...

Against who? He has a few good feats, but in actual fights, he seems to do nothing but get stomped. So no, he really doesn't.

So we have (what sounds like) a depleted Thor against a depleted Galactus... Should be fun seeing them headbutt each other...

I'm curious to though whether this incident happened before or after Gorr came calling?

After the Gorr fight.

Yup, should be interesting to see how it turns out. Galactus is apparently hungry and King Thor looks....depleted for lack of a better word. I guess it makes some sort of sense as he fought Gorr which would have probably drained his reserves.

Yeah, the past year or so Superman has been receiving the same treatment Thor got during AvX. Dunno what the deal is... 👇

It hasn't been that bad, has it?

Superman was racking up some amazingly poor showings, like, where he was flat out failing, right before Flashpoint and DCnU seemed to give him a booster shoot.

Still, for a company that has such tight editorial pull, you'd think it'd be more consistent. Well whatever, the jobbing train always comes around to someone else.

Nah, maybe not *that* bad... Yet.

Although the last year or so the bulk of his showings have been mediocre(and in many cases poor.) At best. He's had very few good showings since the earth-pressing feat.

I would love it to be true, but it's not nearly as bad as you're describing it.

The only time he looked good was right when the NU52 started. After that it was all downhill. Sure, he got a few good feats, but in the actual fights, he's lost pretty much every fight he's been in. The only fights I can think of that he actually won are in the 1st issues of Justice League where he fought Bruce, Barry, and Hal, and also later on in WW/Supes when he beat Apollo after a power boost. Pretty much everything other than that has him losing in straight fights, and even his good feats are diminished a bit due to extremely poor feats that have happened as well.

Overall, I'd say it is pretty on par with Thor during the AvX days.

NO. You just can't compare it to AvX Thor.

If Sinestro fought back, how do you think the fight would have went? Also, the only person that came close (and would have won) to beating this version of Superman is Captain Atom. Everyone hasn't done much of anything against him.

Thor got pwned by Venom recently Clark hasn't reached that level yet.....ermm

Superman would win. He's a phucking wrecking ball(Miley style) in the Injustice universe.

Reboot Superman is appalling. He's not Superman anymore, just some guy in a suit who doesn't act much like Superman and seems to get beat up every time he gets in a fight. I'm surprised he ventures out of his fortress anymore. Even when he did manage to do something to Apollo it was after an amp. It's like DC are almost afraid to show him as being better than anyone - he's becoming an embarrassment to the company.

Someone needs to reboot him, fast.

Yea, Venom hurt him with a punch but Batman on Venom hurt Superman with a punch as well. And Superior Spider-Man in a Symbiote (That gets stronger with emotions) is FAR stronger.

I said it was on-par, not that it was totally there yet. It's getting pretty close though. That recent one in Superman/WonderWoman almost makes it seem like the writers just plain don't like Supes.

In all fairness, the Venom inextricably gave Bruce the ability to fly as well. 😛

That's pre reboot Supes though.
Someone should make a Superman & Thor vs Venom & Venom thread.mmm
