    Absolute Superman was outsold by both Absolute Batman and Ultimate Spider-Man in the year all three debuted

    youre talking scott snyder to Jason Aaron man

  • yes the series with the best and most well known writer did better than the one with someone less known

    So you're saying they recognize the character but don't know anything about him?

    What more would you “require” them to know for my point to stand?

    other than he changes in the booth

    His weakness is kryptonite

    And his shawty name lois lane

  • yes getting the best well known comic writer produced more sales. yes batman and spider man more popular than superman

    that doesnt change superman is hugely popular as an ip he has just never had truly great movies, tvs, games but EVEN WITH THE QUALITY of what he had he has always had countless fans.

    Bro. Nobody said he's not iconic. We're saying he's not as POPULAR as other characters are this century.

    Iconic and popular are two different things

  • why is it never on the white men that write and execute the character when it comes to superman ? its always an excuse of its impossible to accomplish in 2.5 hours to 3 hours. To pull off an immigration story?

    When man of steel and superman 2025 have some of the same faults and if they truly learned from each other you could make one great movie.

    "superman inspired them to save a nation they just kill a prime minister in the process"

    brother they were inspired enough to kill a monster in the city already

    they know the value of saving people and earlier in the movie he shakes his head at them killing a monster and they are fighting eyeball monster for them

    is it really that inspiring that they are willing to step up when humans are being monsters to one another?What is the poitn of the justice gang if they dont want to do that

    Consequences in man of tomorrow yes likely but then hawkgirl likely gets more consequences than lex who is forgiven for a team up to fight braniac. a lantern forgives a cop for murdering someone.

    you see how consequence and justice in this universe is kind of handled oddly. S***trafficker killed at least but then supergirl leaves space and the problem fully solved ?

    Fam inspiration or influence doesnt mean do "exactly as i would do" they even had a line about this in the movie where the prime minister told hawkgirl that he couldn't kill him and she was like well im not superman. They can be inspired to get involved but not handle it exactly as he would

    "Consequences" doesnt imply morality its causation and effect.

    The movie established at the beginning that there's political concerns with superheroes getting involved in political threats that differs than monsters, aliens and whatever. They even double down on this in Lanterns with Guy reaffirming he doesnt like getting involved in earth politics. The movie revolves around the govt realizing that metahumans are getting out of control hence why they even got Lex involved to handle with arresting superman when they saw him as a threat. And the movie ends with them realizing something gotta change which continues in peacemaker

    my grandma has never texted me to see spider man lol. Superman having misses this century doesnt change that demand for a good movie from the character always exist if anything more so because we have seen a good spider man and batman movie recently. We want to see a good to great superman movie because we havent seen that in a while if EVER.

    And what makes references in rap songs the determining factor?

    I've heard Peja Stojakovic get name dropped in numerous rap songs, that doesn't make him the most popular basketball player

    "well im not superman"

    we know she is not superman and has a different level of ethics. If a hero or random human being killed Netanyahu that would lead to MORE death of civilians not less. It wouldnt solve any problem. Damn near would have been better for superman to handle the world conflict and justice gang to handle the world ripping at its seams and fighitng a superman clone.

    Popularity has nothing to do with quality. There are terrible Spider-Man movies that were still extremely popular
