How about making a live action movie of Superman: Secret Identity.

I would fucking love that. Secret Identity is amazing.

I guess I am the only one who hates subversions of Superman because, well, they're predictable?

As opposed to?

 

[SuperBonk]

Out of all the versions of Superman I've seen, I think the DCAU (Superman: TAS, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited) does it the best.

The episodes where he goes up against Darkseid are great.

Battleboards? I must know more.

We basically use our extremely disturbing depth of comic knowledge to debate who could beatup who.
Fanboys tend to be more entertaining then Videogame fanboys.

This looks fascinating. I think I need to pick up the first trade of this. I also need to get the second trade of Starman now that I remember.

It is damn good, I also recommend the sister book Incorruptible and the mini Absolution.

As opposed to?

I prefer the approach to the characters where instead of "hurr he has no morals/he isn't the white knight" bullcrap, they just give a different take on him without totally ruining his origins.

Red Son is a good example.

They really did this?

Problem with Superman is that unlike he is not known for vulnerabilities. I personally want to see Superman as a guy who hates being a hero.

Red Son is what I could call a subversion of Superman, so much of the identity of the character comes from being a rural American in the big city.

"NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! [smashes a car in anger; both pause, shocked] I will not sacrifice Metropolis. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. Braniac destroys Krypton, and we fall back. He assimilates entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, and no farther! And I will make him pay for what he's done!"

Picard wants his speech about The Borg back lol.

The approach they took to Superman TAS can work on film. Just play it down the middle, not too dark or light, nothing too creative, nothing retro. Just a good actor playing Clark Kent and the Superman story retold in a modern context. All of this is really making me hungry to see what Goyer and Nolan's vision of Superman is. It seems Snyder understands his role in this, he's just supposed to put on screen what he's been given and make it feel real and modern.

He can have it back after Superman is done with it.

Red Son is what I could call a subversion of Superman, so much of the identity of the character comes from being a rural American in the big city.

But it's a new approach to him - rather than the generic "hurr I have powers but I am so anti-heroic angst emo dude with no moral compass!"

I vote for this. Best Superman comic.
