beat superman prime.

Loeb likes a powerful Superman, but Loeb also jobs out the competition in an attempt to showcase a powerful Superman. Thats not a powerful superman. Thats a decent Superman and an inept competition/allies. Thats bad writing at the root.
S/B was a fun ride. But it wasn't a particularly good ride. Kinda like Van helsing. Pretty and actionpacked. But the story itself, the meat of any book, was simply not there.

Superman and Batman wouldn't be so derided, if it wasn't so chockfull of pis. Small doses is tolerable.
S/B had it so blatantly, that anybody who doesn't worship at the altar of the two is bound to not enjoy it.
While also loving the characters being jobbed out, i should add.
Casual readers wouldn't care, since they expect Superman to be the strongest, Batman to be the smartest.
But for those of us who know what the other characters are capable of, and to see them act like foolish amatuers, is what makes S/B so pitiable.

That could be said of just about any hero.

On a side note, it's similar to when a character becomes a villain. All of a sudden their powers are used more more effectively, they become uber and as a rule, have to lose stupidly.

Yeppers. And for the record, imo, the book is garbage. Hot garbage, but still garbage.

Ion, hands down.
