    Alex Ross' SUPERMAN has always looked fat and ugly

    I know a lot of people love Alex Ross' rendition of Superman but I've always found it lacking, his Superman looks fifty, his face is ugly, he looks fat, like he's always sucking his stomach in and Alex draws a mega huge S symbol on his entire torso. It's very annoying.

    His KC Superman was really wise and mature-looking

    But yes Ross' Super-heroes in general look weird. From their spandex to their faces being old looking. His art works for the KC era though. With older heroes running around. But why would you hate a large S symbol on the torso, it looks magnificent!

    Ross’ heroes always looked mature and realistic to me.

    100% agreed. All his characters, except for a few images of Batman, look awful.

    His Superman is actually drawn to look like himself. What an egomaniac.

    It's still amazing though.

    His Superman looks a little older and mature but not fat and ugly,the right word may be : iconic.

    @claymore1998:

    not really, they look... generic, thin lips, bland features and old.
