This new site layout sucks. Just in case it wasn't obvious.

Hopefully never. The character doesn't have to remain static forever. As long as his costume has the red, blue, and yellow motif i'm cool

Well it has too much blue and no yellow at the moment lol. And I say that as someone who likes the Rebirth costume.

There's yellow in the symbol. I'd prefer red boots, but it's honestly not a big deal at all to me. I just don't want everything to be so regressive with the character. If we go back to red shorts it's like admitting that the fan base wants the character to remain as static as possible.

No yellow on the belt though. Also there are people who want the boots to not only be red but to have the 'M' shape instead of the V-neck. Also there's nothing wrong with respecting a long time part of the costume. There are some good arguments to have the trunks back, it does not mean the fanbase wants the character to be constantly static. I'm not going to say they need to come back but I wouldn't be opposed to their return.

I think it is. You see character growth in his origin story, and it encapsulates everything that Superman is in meta and fictional ways.

It's not like Post-Crisis has never attacked his friends. Even though he was mind controlled i'm sure his beatdown on Batman would haunt him way more than the fight he had with Batman/GL when they first met. He didn't even start that one IIRC.

There doesn't have to be a "lead". If you refer above I explain why it's not awkward at all.

No I don't see character growth, I see an angry, edgy fundamentally wrong misrepresentation of Superman. You cannot say the early New 52 Superman is part of the meta and fictional representation of Superman.

Yes Superman's mind controlled attacks on Batman and the League are probably more disturbing. But he didn't attack Batman or the Justice League willingly of his own choice, New 52 Superman instinctively attacked Batman and Green Lantern and Flash just because they had a Mother Box. Even if Hal's dickish and stupid decision started the fight, Superman's aggressive actions escalated it.

They have significantly altered backstories on the Kent farm, two contrasting personalities, have been in different relationships with women and have different careers and adventures. I can tolerate a merger between New 52 and Pre 52 Superman but only in the Kami-Piccolo sense. Or New 52 Superman could go to another universe with his Lois Lane and wait to be brought back at a suitable time. Or they could stay dead for once. One thing we both can agree on I'm sure is that there can only be one Superman at a time.

@krleavenger: Well in the case of the Godslayer sword it was technically more mythologically/fantasy powered than by magic or supernatural energies. But in Deathstroke #10 Superman charges at the titan Lapetus and Lapetus just sends him flying with a magic blast with Slade commenting on how Superman doesn't do well against magic.

No Caption Provided

I find Diana's comments to be more indicative of the magical control Enchantress was wielding as opposed to her possessing that much raw power. Hell Enchantress is going to be the Suicide Squad's counter to Rebirth Superman in the Justice League vs Suicide Squad event so it's consistent.

How was Pre Flashpoint Superman's magic vulnerability worse? Sure he did get chumped by magic but so has New 52 Superman and he tanked some very powerful magic attacks too from blasts to transmutation. Both Supermen are equally vulnerable to magic.

@apex_pretador: Scans of Worldmind instantly providing information on something or someone Richard has never seen or faced before? Also Richard has gone toe to toe with enemies outside his weight class like Silver Surfer and Magus despite Worldmind's advice.

No love for the trunks, such a shame. It is a classic staple of the Superman outfit and whilst I can live without them, I think some of the criticisms against it are lackluster and based on the wrong mindset of them being childish.

My god the animation for the next episode is looking almost as bad as that infamous Goku vs Beerus fight scene.
