    I won't write a long and complex OP, the proof is in watching the video for yourself. I'm amazed at how well it captures the core of Superman's character and idealistic example far better than the New 52 or Man of Steel has done so. And the Foo Fighters backing track of 'Walk' is superb to listen to.

    So you're saying this Superman is not a Pretender?

    (Sigh) I'll let you have this one since you're a fellow Foo Fighters fan. But I seriously can't believe you don't like Nirvana -_-

    It's Maurico Abril, the same name as his Youtube profile.

    Seriously I dare you to find one moment of Pak's run which is comparable to what this video does without a story or words.

    If seriously – discarding the music (just not the fan), I don’t have anything against “good guy, with high morale standard, who saves people”, but for Superman’s sake, I hope there more to him than just that…

    I don’t know, something lacking in execution of this video (for me, at very least). Honestly, Superman: Peace on Earth, some moments from All-Star Superman, New-52 AC by Morrison or Pak (YES, Pak) or even short comics by Alex Ross (told from Batman’ POV when he freed Superman from Brainiac’s control) are doing it better (again, imo).

    @lvenger:

    The part that the video absolutly sold me on, was when kid!Clark was looking at Pa Kent in admiration as he was standing up for somebody that couldn't have done so alone. In that moment, with no dialogue whatso ever, you could understand perfectly what Superman does what he does.

    @jogga: Couldn't have said it better myself. That was a highlight of the video for me too, that the artist completely got what motives and drives Superman better than what DC thinks drives Superman.

    I'm not a big fan of Foo Fighters but this vid was nice. Reminded me of when superman saved that kid from the train in the new 52. Top Notch animation as well.

    This is amazing. Perfection.

    This is the Superman that I love and consider my favorite superhero ever. Not the BS MoS and new52 versions where It's his destiny to do the right thing.

    I LOVE YOU SMALLVILLE! <3

    Likewise to have shared the video on here with fellow Superman fans like you mate. It brought back some fond Superman memories of a simpler and better time for me too :)

    Excactly. This is such a fantastic video and encompasses everything that is great about the character although the song choice couldve been better. I would have much preffered hero by nicleback. Not a fan of the band but that is one of the few songs I enjoy that they did. Mostly associated with Spidey but if you really listen it's a song that connects with Superman.

    @lvenger:

    Now that I think about it more and more, this makes me really miss Ma' and Pa' Kent. I was absolutely furious when DC decided that Ma' and Pa' should stay dead. They are the entire reason why he is Superman in the first place.

    I mean, they are practically the most important characters in the entire Superman franchise.
