Hell, even Aquaman had a clear direction.<br /><br />Superman in the 'present time' seemed rudderless. The stories felt muddled as if the writers didn't know how to present him.<br /><br />And now we get these new changes when I still don't know what the foundation of the character is.<br /><br />It is disheartening.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-66942074387322168662012-10-24T18:18:17.812-04:002012-10-24T18:18:17.812-04:00I'll take them doing some basics like establis...I'll take them doing some basics like establishing Superman's cast and setting before "shaking it up" has any inherent value. To date, DC has not succeeded in establishing a new status quo other than a few glimpses here and there.

The Superman that they're portraying is the younger, only-been-on-the-job-for-six-years Superman. You can't expect those 2 Supermen to act the same way. I'd give them some time to make Superman grow.PRgirl1294https://www.blogger.com/profile/17851850537996919465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-79542806869837189962012-10-23T21:34:18.186-04:002012-10-23T21:34:18.186-04:00I've dropped Superman.

I think like a lot of folks I talk to, I was sticking around, spending money, hoping that something would change and that I'd be there for it when Superman got back to his roots or whatever I thought was going to happen. But with modern comics shops, Comixology, etc... I don't need to worry about that. If it happens, I'll jump back in and catch up when its relevant. Since the New52, I was just enabling DC by spending good money on bad comics. They can have my $3 again when someone who can put together a coherent story is assigned the book.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-13493688826685549472012-10-23T15:46:22.253-04:002012-10-23T15:46:22.253-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-3900921314265061362012-10-23T15:04:03.992-04:002012-10-23T15:04:03.992-04:00Anj: Please do calm down.

I have not been reading Superman, dropped it after issue #3. Can't blame Perez, though. I understood his constraints.<br /><br />Why doesn't Superman "think" about Lois in Justice League, or have a talk with Batman about the kiss?<br /><br />That adds to the directionless Superman (the reason I dropped the book), how he is portrayed in JL.

Also, Lobdell does name check "strong feelings for Lois," so I don't think this is a major departure. I for one find it a little refreshing that he's trying to make this aspect of Superman's life realistic; successful, effective journalists are working less and less in print media (and in major corporation backed media)all the time.

The Planet was bought by a corporation that wants journalism to be entertainment, and Clark is not on board. So he keeps his ideals and is fighting the change. For me that guy is Superman!<br /><br />And it also is grounded in reality, where more and more news sources are turned in entertainment sources and we don't know in who to trust.Supertorresmonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-16527280994818728832012-10-23T10:10:50.120-04:002012-10-23T10:10:50.120-04:00Great post, Anj - I really miss Superman having an...Great post, Anj - I really miss Superman having an actual status quo. When there's no status quo, why should we worry about the latest changes? Superman never needed to be 'grounded' - the Daily Planet and the people it brought Clark into contact with grounded him. The people Superman saved daily grounded him. How many other heroes took a break from the macro crises to answer Christmas requests?<br /><br />I'll give the new team a chance, but I hope they remember who Superman actually is.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-60728771137683805502012-10-23T09:12:37.967-04:002012-10-23T09:12:37.967-04:00If Supergirl is becoming "The Incredible Hulk...If Supergirl is becoming "The Incredible Hulk" then I guess Kal El is on the road to becoming "Spider-Man".<br />I have my doubts because in both cases it isolates Kara and Kal from a supporting cast that is designed to give Superman/Supergirl some scale & human perspective.<br />If they are both seen as suspicious characters and untrusted...then why do they stay??<br />Without Lois Jimmy Dick Malverne etc, neither Kara nor Kal have any emotional commitment to Earth...And without that, the Superverse becomes a tier Marvel book.<br /><br />JF<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-84029840563308401702012-10-23T08:35:35.189-04:002012-10-23T08:35:35.189-04:00Bet ya it won't.
