Superman General

I won't say modern comics suck, but there are a number of reasons why I mostly read the older material. And stuff like that's one of them.

depends on what you're reading. Both Marvel and DC have their share of good and bad books. Same as always. If you're a Titans, Cass Cain, Steph Brown or Wonder Woman fan, DC's still in bad shape. Not to mention several characters still stuck in limbo.

whats wrong with wonder woman?

The run was good until the last story that introduces her secret twin brother who, of course turns out to be evil because he’s jealous of her.

George Pérez's Wonder Woman is my WW.

Turning this conversation back to Superman

Action Comics reveals where Lois and Sam stand with each other in the new continuity, She exposed military connections he had to some "dubious dictators" so they became estranged. He's now been captured and publicly discredited by the government, so Lois needs to rescue him herself

Why does the silver age version of Superman angst more about being an orphan(twice!) than that version of Batman? And why did those comics act like the Kents were not REAL parents just because they weren't Clark's biological parents?

Booster Shot series starts.

Double Date Night for the Kents and the Bat and the Cat

Man, the fanservice on Lois...

Bat-Mite!

Silver age focused more on the Super than the Man didn't it? Krypton is Super, so it's what matters. Clark was fake back then.

Then why did he go to so much trouble to convince Lois that he wasn't secretly her coworker? Were the Silver Age writers sexist and thought Bruce could be trusted but not Lois? She'd actually be safer if she knew why to bring Clark along on any dangerous investigations. No need to let the villains know. Bruce Wayne knows and no bad guy ever tried to make him tell them who Superman was when pretending to be a human.

Pretty much yeah.

Half the time, Lois seemed more like a threat to Superman than even Luther, and that's saying something.

You have to remember, too, that Silver Age Lois was pretty awful in her own right, kind of like a dead-pan Lucille Ball in a super-hero milieu. I don't know if that portrayal by itself is particularly sexist, but many of the stories involving her certainly were. Given what she was shown to value in a potential husband, one can see why SA Lois might persist in pursuing Superman; the big mystery is why he continued to put up with her, as most of the time she was portrayed as a colossal irritant.

So that he could mess with her.

Is Dc taking a potshot at Civil War?

How often has an alien invasion in the DCU been averted due to the aliens somehow thinking that all humans are as dangerous as Superman? That sounds silly though. Don't think mimicry fools sapeint creatures.

Bendis taking over from Tomasi and Gleeson next year?

Superman's red trunks return in Action Comics #1000.

Bendis taking over both Action Comics and Superman (which will be relaunched), he'll also helm a weekly "Man of Steel" mini-series, and there will be a major status quo shake-up, the "biggest since Crisis".

nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Welp. Maybe it won't suck.

Hey, remember when J. Michael Stracyznski took over Superman?

Yeah.

Nothing can be as bad as that. At worst Bendis is just going to write a bad comic, not freaking Grounded.
