I don't like characters that are night invincible and uni-dimensional, the one thing they can make to transform Superman in a worse character is making him more and more powerful.
Well, he gets more and more powerful all the time. Even regular Supes. He gets new powers and amps in power by simply being under the sun longer. I'm not talking issue to issue, but more year to year... Compare current Superman to late 80's or early 90's Superman to see the effects dramatically. Or compare to "Leap tall buildings, faster than a speeding bullet" Earth 2 Superan, to how we saw him in Crisis on Infinite Earths or Infinite Crisis.
It's part of the character, has been since he was created.

Correct, it's one of the best books out there right now. It's like a breath of fresh to me. Not a lot of thinking, but a lot of entertainment, good stories, and good art.

Maybe DC isn't liking what they see in having All-Star versions. Batman is certainly an embarrassment. They haven't been going as radical as Ultimate Marvel.

And people make a sort of rejoice thread every time an issue of Ultimates comes out.
The sales of each All Star comic are still pretty staggering, before it's hiatus, check out BM&RAS's numbers, alongside Superman. They should definately be liking that.

I gotta admit I enjoy a lot of the ultimate series. Ultimate Spiderman has been a consistently great series. The ultimates have great stories also ( event though it seems that the ultimates and All Star Batman are in a contest to see who can delay their book the longest).
Im happy to hear someone else call this Childish writing. It makes me think of 2 kids arguing on a playground. "Yeah well my hero can lift a billion pounds!" "Oh yeah, well mine can lift.... 100 quintillon pounds!"
"Oh yeah! Well mine can do twice that... with 1 hand!". Seriously, how do you write that? While we are at it, lets take away his only known weaknesses, make him a genius (because knowledge is really a power someone can just gain overnight) and lets have him defy logic by playing marbles with planets. All he needs is telepathy and ninja training.
