As usual, The Truth seems to be divisive to the Superman audience. <br /><br />I suppose at some point I may have to admit that I am the one who is out of touch and that this sort of Superman is what is relevant and wanted in this age.<br /><br />I still can't past the personality flips within this issue and this story. They should pick a tone to define him and go with it.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-32246890803299902712015-07-10T18:15:11.801-04:002015-07-10T18:15:11.801-04:00Sure you can.

But I'd staunchly disagree that Greg Pak's Superman is a jerk, much less a jerk for no reason, nor does he write him as being badass for the sake of being badass. Where is he over the top just for the sake of over the top. I don't see it. He has a reason for acting the way he acts in this title. He's surrounded by those he doesn't quite trust and those who don't trust him. This isn't Action Comics where he's surrounded by his supporters.<br /><br />And when I say he had no personality pre-Flashpoint, I used "pre-Flashpoint" in that regard meant the past decade give or take before the reboot. When the character was a complete and total trainwreck. I tend to use the term pre-Flashpoint for the years immediately prior. I use the term post-Crisis when identifying the entire era. An era in which there were indeed plenty of good characterizations.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-10008604486998039262015-07-10T13:32:47.987-04:002015-07-10T13:32:47.987-04:00Funny how people have short memory...

I'...I think its wholly inaccurate, personally. I've seen nothing yet that I haven't seen from Superman tales in multiple eras, to be honest. The wrench, for instance. Superman has a history of being a pretty huge practical joker. Kinda cruelly so long ago, making this wrench to the helmet of a guy who couldn't possibly be hurt by such a move pretty small potatoes. It was harmless slapstick.<br /><br />I'm enjoying the hell out of his attitude. Probably because he has one, which isn't something that could be said for the guy pre-Flashpoint.

Similar to your categorisation of him, and I can't say it's inaccurate. He acts far less like an adult nowadays.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-20945666181773144322015-07-10T10:24:06.678-04:002015-07-10T10:24:06.678-04:00I'd join that campaign in a heartbeat Mart but...I'd join that campaign in a heartbeat Mart but the defenders of this storyline would try and claim that there is no real, correct interpretation of Superman. Which ignores how Supernan's traditional morals, character and backstory have been compromised in the New 52, especially in Truth.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-86435258945583020352015-07-10T09:59:04.155-04:002015-07-10T09:59:04.155-04:00I really hate Superbrodude. :( I really hate Superbrodude. :( Godzyllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158294775397668186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-75416024207623346322015-07-10T08:36:57.533-04:002015-07-10T08:36:57.533-04:00As you likely know from my own review, we're v...As you likely know from my own review, we're very much on the same page.
