I believe Old Superman just got tired of hearing Young Hip Superboy explain how his powers work again.

I've seen so many versions of evil violent Superman at this point that I had to remind myself that Superman probably really isn't going to snap Superboy's neck.

That's Old Superman, not Evil Superman. He's chilling in Injustice.

Injustice Superman, Ultraman, Superboy Prime, Red Son Superman, Viltrumites in Invincible, bad Hyperions, Plutonian from Irredeemable, other ones I can't list off the top of my head. There are a lot of evil versions of Superman.

Dacap posted:What if they just went for a long walk across America I still say if this hadn't turned into Superman being a right wing dickhole it isn't a horrible premise for a comic. I'd read a story about Superman just walking around helping folks out. Pulling cats out of trees, helping poor folks get jobs, whatever, ain't gotta be superpowered crises.

The idea of Superman just taking a break and walking helping people sounds like something he would do. However, it should not be a 12 part storyline, as it makes him look like sort of a dick if he ignores everything else and just walking around.

Man has superspeed, if some poo poo pops off he can fly away and fix it and be back before Little Jenny even realizes her kitty is up in the tree.

Yeah, but Grounded if I remember correctly he was ignoring everything other than his stupid walk. I meant that it could be a couple of issues of him doing the mundane stuff and then him a couple of him doing the big. However, that ignores an important part of his character as it would involve him being just Superman and not Superman and Clark.

He said if something major happened, he'd fly off, deal with it, then go back to the exact spot he'd been on the walk, and pick up where he left off.

I didn't read it myself but didn't the story retcon the reason Supes was acting like a condescending douchebag into him being alien mind controlled or some such bullshit.

There are a lot of evil versions of Superman. It's hard to talk about Red Son, because Millar's political statement isn't particularly coherent. But I've always read it to say that Superman wasn't evil, any more than communism is evil. In Red Son, the source of evil is the pointless conflict between societies. The world is prosperous and happy when Superman runs all of it, and it's prosperous and happy later in the book when Lex runs all of it - it's the destructive conflict between the men and their ideologies that leads them to do horrible things. Lex's Bizarro justifies Superman's brainwashing of dissidents justifies Lex shrinking Stalingrad. US missiles in Turkey justify Soviet missiles in Cuba justify US development of ICBMs. In that light, Superman is still the hero of the story, because he realizes that the conflict needs to stop, and he concedes. He's the bigger man - he can back down for the greater good, whereas Lex would rather be dead than red.

And at the $10k level you can actually BE Robin and be kidnapped by a maniac in a clown outfit wielding the blunt instrument of your choice.

drat, "We are Robin" sound pretty good. I'll pick it up for sure I'll also check Son of Batman, hopefully Damian will be powerless there. And here are all the Convergence's May solicits Interestingly, the N52 will get involved on the main series after all.
