the issue with Superman is not that, it's that he's genuinely boring. His powers are boring and his fights are boring because he's too OP.
Spidey gets owned all the time and you love to see it.

if you're reading Superman to watch comic fights, you're on the same level as someone who watches One Punch Man for epic fight scenes.

One Punch Man does have EPIC fight scenes lmao.
I dunno data, he's a DC superhero not a member of Watchmen.
at least Batman is a schizophrenic psychopath who beats up mentally ill people, so fair game. The flash is so fast he can manipulate time....like, they do interesting shit, you know?

for all the shit i give snyder the mos fights were more interesting than any of the nolan fight scenes
By data Go To PostThe reason the best Superman is the best cape comics is because they tend to deal with him feeling guilt or regret over the danger and damage he brings to normal people in his attempts to protect them and the city. Dude hates beating up lowbie thugs.maybe this is where they went wrong with superman
Which is also why Man Of Steel sucked so much ass.
goku works because he just wants to fight
i just wanna see superman beat up the marvel crew
By Not Go To PostSpider-Man does that shit too. Superpowered white guys maintaining the status quo while dressing like a cool animal you saw in a picture book as a kidSpider-Man's rogue gallery is legit tho
Call it what it is, emotionally stunted white male wish fulfillment

The well animated fight scenes in season one are the best parts of the show.
The well drawn fight scenes are the best parts of the manga.
One Punch Man is good because he's Superman without the responsibility. Superman getting bored without turning evil
Basically the one thing that makes Supes uninteresting is he has to be one or the other. He's a symbol
I do like Superman as a purely empathetic symbol of human decency like the best parts of All-Star

Grant Morrison on how to write Superman
https://www.newsarama.com/1335-all-star-memories-grant-morrison-on-all-star-superman-1.html
Not surprised Zack Snyder made a movie where Batman, his prolonged adolescent fantasy, just beats the shit out of Superman, the character he'll never grasp, over and over and over until they bond over something meaningless
In the end, I saw Superman not as a superhero or even a science fiction character, but as a story of Everyman. We’re all Superman in our own adventures. We have our own Fortresses of Solitude we retreat to, with our own special collections of valued stuff, our own super–pets, our own “Bottle Cities” that we feel guilty for neglecting. We have our own peers and rivals and bizarre emotional or moral tangles to deal with.
I felt I’d really grasped the concept when I saw him as Everyman, or rather as the dreamself of Everyman. That “S” is the radiant emblem of divinity we reveal when we rip off our stuffy shirts, our social masks, our neuroses, our constructed selves, and become who we truly are. Batman is obviously much cooler, but that’s because he’s a very energetic and adolescent fantasy character: a handsome billionaire playboy in black leather with a butler at this beck and call, better cars and gadgetry than James Bond, a horde of fetish femme fatales baying around his heels and no boss. That guy’s Superman day and night.
Superman grew up baling hay on a farm. He goes to work, for a boss, in an office. He pines after a hard–working gal. Only when he tears off his shirt does that heroic, ideal inner self come to life. That’s actually a much more adult fantasy than the one Batman’s peddling but it also makes Superman a little harder to sell. He’s much more of a working class superhero.
American writers often say they find it difficult to write Superman. They say he’s too powerful; you can’t give him problems. But Superman is a metaphor. For me, Superman has the same problems we do, but on a Paul Bunyan scale. If Superman walks the dog, he walks it around the asteroid belt because it can fly in space. When Superman’s relatives visit, they come from the 31st century and bring some hellish monster conqueror from the future. But it’s still a story about your relatives visiting.

superman is good cuz he's a man with godlike powers, but at the end of the day he is still a man
i felt the death scene of pap kent in the og movie pulled it off perfectly, no matter what powers he has he couldn't really do anything when his dad died of a heart attack. compare to men of steel's papa kent death where they turn it into yet another overly pretentious "superman is actually jesus" shit and you can see how people know that snyder does not get his character at all

he was raised by farmers and lived a humble life, meaning deep down he is in fact clark kent, and superman is just a mask he puts on
almost as if he's a metaphor for migrants created by migrants

By NinjaFridge Go To Post'Superman is good because he's boring like us'Yeah
Got it.
He's an adult who tries to live beyond his neuroses rather than embracing them
Imagine if we could throw on a cape and be free of the things that make us hate ourselves
He starts out being appealing to kids who want to do more than they're capable of, and is then rejected when they enter the I-want-total-autonomy and "everything I liked as a kid is for kids" teenage phase. Some people don't grow out of that, but some develop emotional maturity and the acceptance of self over time and find Superman interesting again.
A lot of his problems stem from him being written by people in the former camp
For the Man Who Has Everything is great because it's a mundane story-- Superman's subdued birthday party-- amplified by heightened imaginative fantasy, and the core emotional weight of a man giving up what he wants to accept who he is.
When people get Superman right, it's some of the best storytelling in comics

The best Batman stories are the ones that play with how much of a fucked up, terrifying authoritarian loser he is, constantly pushing back against self-doubt and introspection. He's inescapably intertwined with a horde of memorable psychotic characters for a reason. He just plays within the legal system, including its unwritten rules.

I was just reminded of a story.
I snaked my toilet drain in my first house. We were broke and I’ve always done my own house work. First time I used a snake though. The house had no clean out so I had to pull the toilet off and snake from the closet bend. Had no clue that it's sprays water on the return pull. So I snake the drain and put the snake in reverse and shit water is spraying everywhere. Walls, ceiling, mirror and sink .... all covered.
Moral of the story. Call a plumber
