Superman Returns 2

[Junkyard]

I've pretty much given up on comics, for a few reasons:

1- The covers. Back in the day, they'd say basically what was happening in them. Now, they say "Boobies!"
2- The increasingly segmented stories. They break up what could have been told in one comic into 6, so they can pack it into a graphic novel.
3- Back to boobies, the now blatant focus on sex is starting to interfier with the enjoyment of the comic itself. From Ed Benes' "all females look the same, except for hair and costume," illustrations, to Greg Land's "just trace porn" stuff, it's more embarassing to hold a comic in public than ever before.
4- The constant reliance on crossover criseses. I just want to read a few comics, not all of them, dammit!
5- Boobies again. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT MA KENT MADE SUPERGIRL'S OUTFIT?!

BULLSHIT.
This, combined with the fact that they aged Mary Batson to legal age all of a sudden just so they could put her in a skintight black micro mini frankly makes me queasy. I don't like pedophilia in my comics.




.... what were we talking about again?

Oh, right. Superman 2, and how it will likely fail to give us a damn supervillain.

I've never been heavy into comics, but I love things that come out of comics.

Basically I could never get into the habit of reading a story, then putting it down for two weeks a month or more to wait for the next part.  I want a friggin' beginning middle and end...which is why I much prefer to pick up collections/graphic novels etc, or wait until it's adapted into (hopefully a good) tv show or movie.

Those are the most modest comic boobs I've seen in years.

Yeah...I could actually believe those could exist on an actual teenage girl.

I think the problem with that one is the angle at which Superman is staring at his cousin, and what she's wearing (or not) under her skirt.

[RobtheBarbärian]

I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he didn't have that little smirk on his face.

[RoninFox]

It is still his cousin in that one?  I thought at one time Supergirl was some alien shapeshifter thing that just modeled herself after the previous Supergirl...but then again, even so, he'd be looking that way at a body double of his cousin which is close to equal on the creep-o-meter.

[RobtheBarbärian]

Well, we know he's a dick.

Really, Junkyard? REALLY? *ahem*

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was thought of as something shocking, now heaven knows ANYTHING goes.

Cue Mike in sailor suit.

[MSTJedi]

Wow. Working in a musical reference to MST3K in a thread about Superman.

That takes talent.

[Pak-Man]

I say we bring in Mr. Mystplik (Or whatever) for the next Superman movie. Give the audience something they REALLY won't expect. :^)

[RoninFox]

This time with a live action Gilbert Godfried!

[Scrivener]

This time with a live action Gilbert Godfried!

Only if we can consign Gottfried to a parallel universe at the end, never to be seen heard again.

That man is a set of fingernails on the chalkboard of my brain.

You asked for it:

[RobtheBarbärian]

I have so many questions.
