Perlmutter was Loeb's direct report but as far as I know he didn't interact or work with anyone else on the shows because Perlmutter doesn't interact or work with anyone. That's his whole thing.

We're talking about a dude who would scream at employees because he saw them "wasting money on notepads" when they could have just torn up computer paper to do the same thing. Dude's a psycho and fit right into the Trump administration.

I do think this is real, because EVS knew about the Jon Kent reveal before it happened, making you think that he was getting fed info from a freelancer working on the book.

The colorist of Superman: Son of Kal-El and other DC books retweets and interacts a lot with Comicsgate people on Twitter so that's likely both the source of the Jon Kent leak and the memo.

I followed that link to Twitter, only to find out that Art Thibert, an inker who worked with some of my favorite '90s artists -- Arthur Adams, Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio -- is full-on Comicsgate too. And Lopresti is disappointing. I loved Justice League: Generation Lost and met him at a convention and got him to sign my two hardcovers. But then again, I met EVS once, long before he became infamous, and asked him to sign an issue of Green Lantern he drew where Geoff Johns had named a minor character after me. Probably shook his hand at the time, but that was probably around 15 years ago.

Pfft, big companies taking works from original creators and doing whatever the gently caress they feel like with it is the American Way, and especially the firm tradition of comic books at that.

It was truth, justice, and the terran way in the Superman/Spider-Man crossover that came out in the 70s. Hope that guy has a time machine so he can make sure to get offended before he was born.

Pretty sure as well that before the 50s tv show it was just "truth and justice" and no third thing at all.

That whole spiel comes from outside of comics, but here's the intro from 1940:quote:Faster than an airplane, more powerful than a locomotive, impervious to bullets. "Up in the sky--look!" "It's a giant bird." "It's a plane." "It's SUPERMAN!" And now, Superman--A being no larger than an ordinary man but possessed of powers and abilities never before realized on Earth: able to leap into the air an eighth of a mile at a single bound, hurdle a 20-story building with ease, race a high-powered bullet to its target, lift tremendous weights and rend solid steel in his bare hands as though it were paper. Superman--a strange visitor from a distant planet: champion of the oppressed, physical marvel extraordinary who has sworn to devote his existence on Earth to helping those in need. It was reworked a couple of years later for the first Fleischer Cartoon: quote:[longer Krypton preamble redacted] They tweaked it throughout the run of cartoons, and both the radio serial and the cartoons added "and the American Way" in 1943-1944 at the height of American involvement in World War II, but dropped it after the war. Gene Yang did a tweet thread I'd just be stealing from about how the phrase was tweaked for the next ten years or so, including a run of "Truth, Tolerance, and Justice". But anyway yeah, the 1950s George Reeves show is where "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" got burned into everyone's brains. I'm pretty sure Grant Morrison namechecked "champion of the oppressed" in the 2011 Action Comics run.

I follow a lot of artists on social media, and was wondering why people kept posting American Way on any pictures of Superman in the last few days. Guess it's good to know the background, even if it's dumb.

Really not understanding how saying "thank you" to Jerry Robinson 12 years ago at a con has anything to do with anything, but okay. Big loving deal. E: Also LOL at the idea that DC has "no right" to make any changes to Jon Kent, a character who didn't exist until like six years ago.

FMguru posted:Also, his grandfather Did A Thing seventy five years ago, so no one can ever say anything mean to his grandson. That's how it works, right? My grandpa almost died in WWII as well. It was WWII, a lot of people did. In his case a gunner on an allied ship had a Fog of War incident and fired on them. Many years later they met again in a retirement home and the guy had no memory of it. Then he tried to break into my Grandpa's room insisting Grandpa was the intruder. Fun times.

Are you sure he didn't just hate your grandfather? It's great that Eltaeb had that bottled up for five years and it took a bisexual comic book character to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Speaks to a sound mind.

My Grandfather and mother under Nazi occupation. After the Germans shot up the place, the Americans shot it up too. Cousins dying in carpet bombing. WWII was horrifying. War itself is horrifying. None of it justifies a fictional alien fighting for the “American” way. Red Son Superman is a better hero.
