the trouble with superman

You need to get sober.

The problem is Superman is better then all the writers. A mortal writer can never live up to a fictional god that has transcended fiction and become a actual Icon in the real world.

DC should go the opposite direction, imo. Forget being topical. Be timeless.

Actually an excellent and well thought out post.

Thanks. Ellis did the same with the Authority years back. They were literally described as a pantheon. And they were incredibly flawed, but they overtly stood for something beyond themselves. Same idea.

So what is a well written Superman to most people? What attributes does he need to be consistently written with?
