I'm not even a big fan of Superman, but this story is absolute peak comic book writing. It presents Superman with a serious issue that he can't solve with his powers alone (which is the biggest challenge in any Superman story). Instead, he has to prove why he's right and they're wrong, and not only show them, but convince the entirety of the populace that his way is better. Which he does, brilliantly. If anybody ever needs an indication of what Superman can and should be at his best, this is the story to read.
This is what makes me adore Superman. Even as someone who supports the death penalty in real life I will never understand people who want Superman and other idealistic heroes to be grittier, darker and meaner. Because in the end the idealism is exactly why they exist at all. The core essence of the superhero fantasy is the idea that truth, hope, honor and righteousness will always prevail over their negative counterparts. Superman above all others embodies it best because of how overpowered he is in comparison to your average human and more importantly how he leverages that gap in power. Superman COULD just go around breaking into places where believes or even outright knows that crime is happening. But he doesn't because that'd be an invasion of privacy and destroying people's property. Instead he works with the public and government to get evidence. He's essentially an unofficial deputy to the MPD. That matters so much because it shows that the world doesn't helplessly lean on Superman to solve their problems. Their system is already one that works and if it or the people who run it start to err Superman and his regular human fellows will hold the system accountable to its own rules. Above all, despite his alien origins, Superman really is just a guy from Kansas who loves his fellow man dearly. And wants to do nothing more than to use his extraordinary gifts to help everyone he can. To make the world a truly better place.
3224,your last paragraph describes just about every super-hero in DC comics. I like the animated movie more than the comic it was based on,the art-work is off putting for me.I don't like it,at all.NICE story tho.
I wasted so long thinking Superman was boring, I see now that the whole point is that he's so powerful, yet so good. He's what we should aspire to be. FORGIVE ME, SUPERMAN!

This is the kinda Superman story that genuinely is peak its ashame injustice seeped into DCEU cause Superman is truly an underutilized character like cyclops in live action films but seeing a resurgence in blue Boy Scouts being badass just feels amazing 🗿🗣️
George Newbern's portrayal of the speech from Superman vs the Elite + Dan Romer's theme from Superman & Lois? Perfect! Absolutely beautiful. We need something like this on the big screen one day.
One of my favorites. It makes us understand what exactly makes Superman to be Superman. Very underrated story. It deserves to be right next to the Killing Joke and Long Halloween.
oh 100%, especially that entire scene between him and Lois, it was beautiful. I'm most likely going to get the cover painted on canvas for my wall, I usually save the paintings for my favourite issues and I think this easily deserves a spot!
I'm glad I came across this in my recommended. I'm going to pick up the book. It frustrates me how people fall into a mindset of meeting cruelty with cruelty as not only the right way but the only way.
thank you for being a member! im so glad that you liked the video :) I had a blast making it, this comic is just so GOOD! I'm obsessed 😅 I wouldve liked to use some footage from the movie version but WB copyrights everything man its rough
its just so good man, I was torn between doing this comic and for the man who has everything but im so glad I did this one (not to say I won't do a video on for the man who has everything later on)
One of my favorite comic stories that gave us such a great story with Superman telling Manchester black good dreams save us dreams keep us going which is Amazing speech in my opinion.
If I’m being honest, I think the best portrayals of Superman are the DCEU version, the SVTE version, and the MAWS version. The main factor (At least for me) is that they all have the same key traits: They want to use their powers to help people. That, and the Elite and MAWS versions of Superman and Lois are ADORABLE together.
Homelander basically is Manchester Black with cape.😂 Oh, and those closing. Christopher Reeve smile to us. My goodness! Damn you, now I am being sentimental!!😂 Classic heroes like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man are always the best.
Oh thank you I really appreciate that :) it’s definitely on the cards! Just got a few to get through first then I’ll probably do for the man who has everything
No joke this was one of my very first Superman comics I had when I was a kid this story perfectly describes the character of Superman and what he stands for! plus the animated movie that adapted this comic Superman vs the elite is so great it's my personal favorite Superman film animated or live action!
well I hope my video did the comic justice :) it must've been an incredible feeling when you first read this comic, I couldn't imagine how enthralled you'd become within the world of superman! I wish I couldve used some clips from the movie version but WB copyrights EVERYTHING its rough man.
Wow After i finnaly found time this beloved channel The first video i saw and just wow It's like superman in the boys universe but even in that universe superman shows that he doesn't have to be in rude way Whats the difference between the hero and the villain when the hero act with rage and ruthless In the end when superman just act like them they were scared like damn . Superman tricks them to how easy it is to him be like them but then what is the difference between him and the villains and then show no matter what he will never do such a things like them Amd that final part When they siad that we never stop to fight for this so call truth and dark reality and superman said i will fight for my dreams until the world becomes a place where truth justice and peace is part of the truth and reality. And like every hero he will never stop to fight for his dreams and reach them After that video i got more hyped for the upcoming superman movie Which that movie is kinda a close adaptation of the kingdom come story and other top favorite superman comics Great video man great 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😃
Back when Joe Kelly had amazing ideas at DC Comics while writing Superman and JLA in the early 2000s, I wonder what made him lose his standard quality when he started writing Supergirl and Amazing Spider-Man?
I'm always really shocked now when I read or watch something good made by Joe Kelly because like you said his quality had dropped off since! his spidey feels so devoid heart, yet this superman story is one of the best around?!
The Supermans comics answer to the nihilistic, pessimist and cynism viewpoints of the modern era. Actually dare i say as far back as post 2000 era or even the rise of anti heroes. Ive grown up always loving Superman. Prefered him to Batman in every way and media even the animated series. I was attracted to the literal Day/brightness as opposed to the night batman represented. As i got older, i was astounded by "superman is boring" crowd who saw nothingg but his powers. Injustice in my eyes was cool for a mere moment, but for people take that and say thats Superman, is bullshit and annoyed with that iteration bleeding on his true legacy.
@@mnstash everything is okay don't pay attention to the emoji l was little tired at the moment before l starting to watch the video. But anyway it was nice 👌
@@UnifiedEntity The Seven represent the same self-serving degeneracy under the cover of heroism/chivalry in the Boys. Just like woke culture they want to be acknowledged and accepted. Do as we say but we don’t hold ourselves to any standard of scrutiny. Cause we are venom. 😂😂
I almost cried too, because Superman is the reason I love superheroes. This comic saved my life, saved EVERYONE'S lives. The world nowadays has gone dark because of the same reasons The Elite believes in, but I still believe in Superman. 🥲
That’s the power of superman :) he reminds us there’s a better way, that in our darkest moments we are not alone. I hope you enjoyed the video man, much love :)

This comic went so hard and is my number recommendation for when someone wants to read Superman
its just so good man, I was torn between doing this comic and for the man who has everything but im so glad I did this one (not to say I won't do a video on for the man who has everything later on)
The movie is pretty good too.
