Every time you say Simple Lex, I just think: Goodbye, Mama! Now you can have ice cream in heaven! I'll see you again tonight when I go to bed, in my head movies! This movie makes my eyes rain!
"its aimed at little kid" Bollocks Bullshit When i was 7, my first comic was hulk 266, published in french I grew up reading tintin ,hulk ,fantastic four and some french books like buck danny. Stop underestimating children They grow up fast
I remember as a kid sitting in a theatre watching Superman. When Chris Reeves ducked into the ally and ripped his shirt revealing the Red S underneath, the theatre erupted. Gunn's pre-Christmas preview made me feel like that kid in the theatre back then. I think we're in for a real treat.
I'm letting this Lois Lane Superwoman some slack as they have already teased that it is a limited power, letting them have some fun before returning to normal rather than trying to spin off another 'inheritor of the mantle'
These things were a one issue gimmick in the silver age … nowadays they are always a trial for some kind of mantle strategy 😢 … how times have changed.
Superman’s Importance was back during the post crisis era and even in new 52 with post crisis Superman and Lois with their young son Jon before other writers *cough* Tom king *cough* messed up his character.
Agreed I feel like rebirth era was like the last time Superman was important or made a priority and as soon as people start loving Superman here come DC Comics hey hold my beer let's destroy all of that
@@kamenrangerzeo8251 to be fair the Tom king Superman story up up and away was actually good and noncanon so it didn’t really bother me that much, now as for his Wonder Woman run yeah that I agree that book is a complete trainwreck and makes no sense whatsoever in my opinion.
When you mentioned that all these hero’s families have grown way too big, it crossed my mind that a crisis type event may be the end of the Absolute storyline, resetting half the DC universe to a more tight version, probably keeping some of the re-imagining from Absolute (my money is on Batman not being rich and Superman not having parents from Kansas).
Rebirth was the last time I cared to read Superman. I miss Tomasi writing him. Another great run was before new 52 by Geoff Johns. Mark waid and Dan slott will keep me away from the title
Agreed the rebirth era and pre-new 52 felt like man was important and nowadays it doesn't feel like it's as important as it should be and at this point why should we invest into Superman when DC destroys Superman every time the audience gets involved in Superman and get invested here come DC destroying him
@@treymykelThat era where Johns was on Action Comics and Busiek was on Superman is so underrated. You had some of the best superman stories of all time in it such as Camlot Falls, Up, Up And Away and Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes.
DC needs to go back to pre -new 52 era. Reset back to original continuity. Bring back Geoff johns, Peter j tomasi, jeph loeb, bill willingham, James Robinson
Superman rebirth for me was the last time I read Superman and was invested and personally for me as a huge fan Superman Clark Kent Lois lane and Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy as his little 10 year old self as a family it made me so happy to see them as a family, and it still drives me crazy that dc took off Peter j tomasi and dan jurgans just to have the stupid idea of hiring Brian Michael bendis which was such a awful idea that dc took years to recover from the terrible idea from the start in my opinion. That being said though part of me is hoping really hoping that we get back real Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy as his little 10 year old self, because come on a lot of people myself included with the return of Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy back to his little 10 year old self and stop doing bad stories with my boy which have been not great in my opinion.
@@TevyaSmolka unfortunately DC had one of the worst editors at that moment (didio) and he had some twisted and dumb ideas that only he belive it will be a success like the whole 5G where he wanted jon to be aged up to be the new superman...yeah, now jon is not superman anymore because we all know he sucked at it.
@ which drives me crazy at this point because didio gone and for some dumb reason nobody wants to undo this awful mistake and just give us back the real Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy back to his little 10 year old self.
All the past deacade was terrible for the Man of Steel. We have the N52 and Bendis run. Dc Rebirth was short but was the only one good Era of the Man of Steel in that time.
I actually like Superwoman. The fact that she has Zod's powers makes for an interesting future story that has already been hinted at. Apparently, Zod is going to take one of Superman's eyes in the future, I'm guessing Superwoman is the catalyst for that.
I was never the biggest Superman fan, I’m not sure why exactly, the only full comic run I own of him is “Superman Unchained” which I actually really liked, had a really cool new villain that I don’t think has ever been used again.
@ Oh I have both Kingdom Come & Red Son in trades, I was only thinking about floppies. But Kingdom Come is not really a Superman story, it’s a Justice League story.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__- Well the KC cover is very Superman focused with the inverse of Shazam (no spoilers). Superman Our Worlds at War is massive team mash up, but he's the key point like in KC.
It's very good see DC giving Superman all the spotlights and all the importance that the character deserves after being so mistreated in the past decade with the N52 and the Bendis run that almost ruined the Man Of Steel.
Teen Titans Go is really funny, yes. Here is all you need to know. You stock up trades and hope you have a really good movie. If you do, then you get the "Batman effect" where people come in wanting to read Superman stories. Presumably ones the movie incorporated in the story, or whatever they may have heard is the best of the lot. You don't go and jack up on the monthlies as you really don't get up a kick up in sales from people seeing the movie. Although regs may become interested in the monthlies because of the movies. You do get some young readers stuff, and guard what you order on any specials as the interest may not be there, but again in the collected trades. Everything goes well you do well. If it is mediocre....your sales bump will be brief. If it stinks you will be lucky to get a bump. So you have to guard how you plan for this. Trades being safest way to go. That's the short of it based on all the movies I have handled. WTF20.
As a fan of Superman, I'm just glad DC keeps making content about him instead of throwing in the towel. The best thing about 2025 is that we won't have to wait a billion years before DC makes a logical decision regarding one of its most famous and important characters. I don't want to make any judgments about these stories before they're release and I'm trying to keep an open mind so I can make an informed decision, so I sincerely hope the Summer of Superman is good.
I don't like simple lex either, but lex Luthor reforming and becoming friends and an ally of superman is supposed to be the hopeful message that superman is all about. It's one of the only reasons I can see not killing lex, if superman truly believes that lex can change, then it's worth giving him a chance. Considering all the insanely evil things lex has done, he really does deserve death.
I hope DC one day will licence Superman and all their IPs to foreign publishers for their new stories. I would love to read Superman written by Bonelli's top writers in Bonelli's b/w 100 pages format (you forgot to mention Italy as one of the world's top comic book countries).
Maybe the wedding will be between Jon Kent and his boyfriend. Some old preacher will be officiating saying matrimony is sacred whether it lasts 50 years, 16 months, or 3 minutes. Then after saying 3 minutes the old preacher rips off a latex mask revealing himself to be Lex Luthor. Out come Parasite and Doomsday who proceed to beat to death Jon and the BF. A few issues later it is revealed adult gay Jon was an imposter and the real 10 year old Jon who has been held hostage by Brainiac returns.
Superman has fallen into the same issues as Spiderman. When you have 1 million different variations of the character, the original character is less special. He was once my favorite, but Superman is now just a variant and not even a good one at this point.
both the supes and bats and even wonder woman families have gotten ridiculously big now and the worst part is dc isn't doing anything with all the characters except for letting them stand around and do nothing but dilute the brand.
For a character that was a major draw of the recent Superman trailer, I'm disappointed that DC hasn't come out with at least a special or a one-shot about Krypto. Dumbass editorial
Knowing current DC, i would not be surprised that the summer of Superman would be awful, would be akin 2 the "summer of love". Lana Lang belongs with Pete Ross, they even had a child. Both Pete Ross and child seems 2 have disappeared.
I don't know with that lame ass Superman movie coming I don't know if it's even worth getting invested in because the last time we got invested in the Superman was Superman rebirth it was amazing and in DC self-sabotage that at this point is hard to go back to Superman as much as I love the character and I do occasionally reaction comics and Superman recent runs It's just really hard to invest into him because as soon as I invest into him I feel like DC is going to screw up all over again just like that unnecessary rebooted Superman movie just like the cancellation of Superman and Lois is just anytime DC has a win with Superman or people are actually invested they destroy it and then now you're asking us to give dance slot a chance Oh no Good luck with that but I don't know I ain't got another chance in me to give Superman again. And this coming from somebody who constantly has to defend Superman is just crazy how much destruction DC has done to the character and his world. I mean I am glad that he's getting some priority which is good because the same amount of effort they put into Batman they need to put into Superman and Wonder Woman
As a Superman fan, I say pass. You can’t undo years of bad deconstruction and plain character destruction with some low effort summer blockbuster promotional material.
@mayotango1317 1) me liking Snyder's movies has nothing to do with this. I didn't mention him. 2) No matter what you say (or in this case, don't say), the new Superman movie is raring up to be nonsense. That's just the truth.
