[@user-zt7ex6ce8g]

For some reason, I always loved Superman earth 1. There is always something homely and wholesome about the story. It's very warm. I like it.

[@Artyforpeace]

What is the continuity of this Superman? Of this world? Was it rebooted after the new52? Or was it just recently created in the history of D.C. Comics?

[@sebastianmaregatti]

Artyforpeace the new 52 earth we see all the time is earth 0,this is just the next one which doesn't affect the main continuity

[@d.wbrown1154]

I'm with you earth one is awesome and a interesting take on superman and gives a very good reason why he's at the daily planet i never understood why people feel it's gloomy and dark

[@myzo247]

Uhh man of steel?

[@karelwok3314]

John Paul Sumabong man of steel totally fucked the character up. I’m sorry if you like it, that doesn’t matter, but you need to admit that Snyder’s (in Zack Snyder not Scott Snyder) Superman is nothing at all like comic book Superman.

[@denaother3900]

That and Snyder's biggest fail with many of his movies and why I don't like Man of Steel is that a lot of his characters do things for the sake of plot without making it feel like that is what the characters would actually do, which Man of Steel was just the point where people where done with it thus, admittedly getting more hate than warranted but still Snyder's superman, was not a masterpiece or trash. It was a meh movie and I'm tired of this argument.

Is it wrong that I prefer this version of Superman and New 52 over the Pre-New 52 and Rebirth versions? They just seem a lot more relatable and "human".

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

Well of course you but not Everyone likes him which is why we like the pre 52 version and the rebirth version we're brought back in the new 52 version of him was killed certain fans don't like it when you changed a character and give them flaws specifically like Superman because he wasn't originally made to be relatable I could see why you would like him

[@spaceafro1887]

Superman werent made to be relatable. He's an Alien with supernatural power. The only thing i would be able to relate would probably be him wanting to fit in. But thats it. If i want a more relatable human character id find someone else. Pre 52 superman is the OG that i grew up with. He's like a father i grew up admiring, knowing he can overcome anythjng.

[@user-ww9ww1pp2u]

ITS MY BEST

[@johnjcoe9198]

I always liked the idea of Krypton's destruction being from another power.... Like, maybe Darkseid saw the Kryptonians as a threat, and had Krypton destroyed to eliminate the threat.... I ALSO like the idea that Clark's ship took a LOOOONNNNGG time to get to Earth..... Thousands of years, if not more..... By the time his ship arrives, with him in stasis, Krypton is long gone.... This version is pretty close to that, with Clark and his parents having almost no knowledge of his origins. He knows he's from.... somewhere.... The suit probably should be from Krypton, so it's not being destroyed all the time.

[@naodamdetsyon6929]

John Coe I always liked the concept that brainiac played a role in the destruction of krypton. Like, after he bottled kandor, krypton started to fall apart (figuratively)

[@dramticend7818]

prince freeza destroyed it don't you know

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

I disagree the suit was made from material for the ship so it technically is from Krypton but was made into a suit by his parents

[@justafox5356]

My favorite is the origin from Superman: The Animated Series. That version had Brainiac created by the Kryptonians and they had become far too reliant on him and that’s why they refused to listen to Jor-El’s warnings about the coming apocalypse since Brainiac said all was well...but he was lying because he didn’t want to waste his time trying to save Krypton and instead wanted to leave Krypton to explore the galaxy

[@kakkacarrotcake9905]

That's basically how saiyans got destroyed by frieza in Dragonball

[@PraisegodMgozi]

so they finally went into detail about superman, in terms of why he works at the daily planet, and connect to the man of steel where he was traveling, changing through jobs... this is awesome... the man who stands up for the truth...

[@IvanMoncure]

Sam Mayes this version of Superman is almost indistinguishable from the canon Superman in character, he's just younger. It sounds like you don't read lots of Superman comics

[@sammayes948]

Afraid I haven't read much of the man of steel. You're correct on that. Earlier versions of supes (like silver age comic version) I always find to perfect in anything he does, or there is never any doubt he can persevere past the threat of the week. I dunno, just not my thing

[@Mars_over_seer]

Sam Mayes I always thought that’s how Superman is suppose to be. He’s suppose to be a symbol of justice and represent good. I still think he’s interesting in his own right. Though I haven’t read much Superman comics Blockbuster Fan says Superman does mercy kill which gives Superman some flaws by not being able to save everyone.

[@VhanchyShu]

Watching this made me think twice of how I see Man of Steel, especially now that I know where it is based. At first, I didn't liked it that much because it was very different from what I've used to see, I was naive about anything about comics way back then. But now, I think they've actually did a good job with it. Sadly, most of us never knew where it is based that's why we never understood why it is like that way back then.

[@Crimsontears83]

I love this comment so much. So many have made up their minds about MoS because of what pop culture has made us believe in these characters. Very few have actually read some of the more interesting stories of them. There is a lot of MoS in this and vice versa. An imperfect Superman is such a good story but so many only knew what they knew from cartoons and old movies and not from really great stories like this one.

[@cake6851]

If anything for me this just made man of steel look even worse.

[@notme57812]

Vhan Chua It still sucks

[@SA80TAGE]

Indeed... it always made me laugh how supposed "comic fans" hated MoS for not being like the Superman they "know". It's things like that that make the fake fans easy to spot when it's clear they've never read a comic. Another example is Batman killing... he used to kill quite a lot, up until the animated series cartoon made him kid friendly.

[@cake6851]

[@garamoth97]

Greg Young not quite, key difference are the meaning of the S and clarks parents view point on how Clark should use his powers. The change to the S was overall meaningless in the film since the S was always a beacon of hope without it being of kryptonian origin, the change felt too on the nose about the meaning and a lot of "ooh aliens". The view points of the Kents is vastly different in the film, they were against Clark using his powers and gave pretty shoddy advice. Both these changes gave Man of Steel are darker tone whilst this was filled to the brim with hope.

Ultimate Quicksilver well, Alex is kind of a canon DC character since Prototype tie in comicbook was printed by DC. Maybe author referenced it or maybe just liked the look. Since devs killed he franchise on the rise with second "game" and Activision decided to forget it ever existed instead of repairing this mess, we'll never know.

[@sharilshahed6106]

TheArklyte not really. It's Wild Storm and even though they have DC as their main name the characters are currently in different universe from DC heroes. And that aside, games and other franchises that were adapted into comics are only written under their names, but not even relevant to the universe of that comics (DC, Marvel, Archie, etc) at whole. Sure, there are cases of crossovers but they are never canon.

[@TheArklyte]

Sharil Shahed and yet New York is now one of locations confirmed in DC(even though I have no idea how they fit Gotham and Metropolis right next to it and what would a summed pops of such an aglomeration even be) thanks to Harley living there. So who knows "what could have been" had the devs not f//cked up and the series had still been going strong... though there is one thing that goes against all traditions of comicbooks. Prototype has a set date, 2008. Meanwhile all other comics can happen anywhere from 1940's to 2040's and beyond. As well as many other trouble:\
