Birthright? or a different one?

And no I’m not talking about OG Jor-el I’m talking about the AI in the fortress

(From Series 2, The Steel Curtain issue #6)

I saw a low of people compliment it,Some even saying it represents Comic book Superman Perfectly (Just a farmboy from Kansas who wants to help).

I would like to get to watch it at one point but afraid a bit that it may not be good.So it ?

I know she’s not typically with the titans but I like her on my team

I'm a sucker for alternate worlds or futuristic "what if?" type stories, and given how Batman Beyond and Spider-Man 2099 have had sizable staying power I'd like to see a similar approach to Superman. However rather than going for a Blade Runner/Cyperpunk dystopia asthetic, I'd like to see a futuristic Superman series applied to a more Utopian type sci-fi setting similar to Star Trek where there is relative peace and stability on Earth and the conflict and drama comes from external sources and the unknown. What are your thoughts on such a concept?

Hello, I am currently preparing a brief essay, well not even that, it is just an intervention for the class forum. We are currently reading Eco's apocalyptic and integrated and I noticed that on his Myth of Superman bit in which he has a wonderful analysis of not only the character and mythos but were he stands in an industry in which our heroes stories seem to have no end in sight and how that is influenced by our society of consumerism.

The thing that caught my eye was that there was no mention of his early progressive years, in which Superman would fight scabs, cause the collapse of a mine shaft with its owner inside to teach him a lesson in the importance of safety regulations for the workers and would evacuate a slum so he could then destroy it to force the government to provide better housing for the people. This goes against the description of the man of steel that the writer gives, describing him like pro establishment.

I am convinced this change of character took place in the 50's, with the birth of the comic code authority and the increase of tensions with the USSR but I could be missing something.

So i read here in reddit about a superman comic... apparently in this comic lois lane for infected with a virus and superman had the cure for it... but Batman stole the cure because the joker was also infected and if superman cured lois joker was going to die.

I wanna say this sound like a batman bashfic than an actual comic.

Hello everyone!

I need advice or ideas about Green Lanterns.

I'm writing about a gender-reversed Superman, a Superwoman/Clara Kent fanfic set in the 40's (if interested you can read it here THE SUPERWOMAN FROM KRYPTON or here SUPERWOMAN FROM KRYPTON-FREE ILLUSTRATED FANFIC by lordmallory on DeviantArt ). Nothing too weird nor peril/NSFW, basically adventures in the middle of the space race, the Witch hunt and the fear of aliens. Within my great limitations, inspired a bit by Byrne's Generations and The New Frontier. It's a bit of a lame idea but hey, it's entertaining me and I'm having a lot of fun.

I'm gradually including members of the Justice League, and of course I want to include Green Lantern. My problem is:

-I'd like to include Alan Scott, for chronological reasons and because his recent run also set in the 40's I'm liking it a lot actually.

-The problem is that I would also like to include the Green Lanterns or that Alan Scott got his powers through them (the origin story of Alan Scott's powers I like a lot but I don't see it consistent with the universe of my fanfic).

-Is it pertinent to merge Alan Scott and Hal Jordan's stories a bit or would it be disrespectful to the characters? How would you do it? How would you do to sew Alan Scott with the existence of the Green Lanterns?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

All Star Superman is considered one of the greatest Superman stories and one of the best comics of all time. Would there be any stories you would say are just as good as or better than All Star Superman or does it reign supreme?

The only ones that are on the same tier, in my view, are 'For the Man Who Has Everything' and 'Superman for All Seasons'.

From book "Gotham 1919 - 1939", prequel to the book "Metropolis 1925 - 1945"

Tuesday, 4/2 (DC Universe Infinite) - Superman vs Meshi #20

It’s hungry work being a Superman! That’s why every day for lunch, Superman takes a quick stop over in Japan to try a new chain restaurant. Whether it’s a hearty bowl of curry or conveyor belt sushi, the Man of Steel loves to indulge in the delectable delicacies the country has to offer. So pull up a seat, and dig in as Superman does battle with lunch!

I saw people use Superman 1 as the original of this trope, but isn’t the quote of the movie completely opposite to the flashpoint movie? In the end Superman can’t accept Lois’s death, saved she by reversal time, even Jor-El keep told him not to do such thing ?
