He chose to be Superman, he chose to put on a uniform and fight for the little guy. That's who Superman was CREATED to be by Segal and Schuster, from him being a Superhero who can't be harmed by the Badguys to him being a Reporter. Superman was made to stand up to the bullies no matter WHO they were. What's wrong with going back to that? Why must we have always have this Socially Acceptable, Innocuous, Non Threatening Superman character? I tell you what, SAINT Superman is not nor has ever been for Our Benefit. The version of Superman I love takes the fight to the Badguys no matter what Suit he's wearing.

This is pretty true. The odd thing is Man of Steel pushed superman away from the "Boy Scout" look and things like Birthright, Grounded, and more made it even more so. People just stuck on the 70's and the older movies. He was past that. New52 pushed it for him to be cocky and a asshole. This was a HUGE mistake IMO.

I'm currently reading through the new 52 related comics and I'm enjoying myself a lot tbh. I do agree that Superman does argue a lot with people (or just seems really confrontational) and the stories do go a little too far with it, but I think it also helps bring up his reporter side (if that makes any sense). I don't really have a problem with Clark being a jerk, but maybe the writers could've had that stem from being experimented/tested on. It'd pretty much be like a chip on his shoulder similar to JL/JLU Clark after doomsday. Anyway, so far this character is becoming my definitive Superman (thx to Superman unchained), but I'll always love the og/current version.

Superman hasn't been a "Boyscout" since after Man of Steel in the 80's. I think people just decide not to read him because of prior to that or the movies. But he for sure had just as dark or brutal storylines as New 52, it is just his character work was ten times better. If you enjoyed Johns run on New 52 check out his work prior to new 52 on Superman, much better. Though his New 52 superman short run is the only run worth reading for Superman.
