In keeping with the thread topic and the thread derail, Superman:TAS is one of my favorite depictions of Superman. They need to make a movie in that spirit, not the emo, teal + orange POS this new movie appears to be. STOP WITH THE EMO SUPES ALREADY FFS.

that should have said "batman comic" and not "batman coming" but now i can't stop thinking about "batman coming" and the proximity of that thought to the thought kevin smith's taint is going to result in a bleach cocktail if i don't go to my happy place right now.

I may have said Batman:TAS was overrated (tho still v good) but never said I hated it. I dig all the Diniverse stuff.

I was *obsessed* with Batman TAS in college (I don't think I watched in HS bcz it didn't air right away in Aus? Couldn't find anything online to confirm.)

I basically rate all of the Dini stuff as one high-qual continuum which is why I don't make a big deal about Batman specifically.

this looks terrible.definitive superman story is moore/gaiman's take on miracleman. someone needs to get around to filming that... because moore films have been so consistently strong of course.
― H-E-double-s1ockisticks (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago) link
Miracleman is undeniably great but I don't read it as a Superman story - I much prefer Grant Morrison's take on the character as the embodiment of the best aspects of humanity. Morrison and Quitely's All-Star Superman is the quintessential Superman story to me.
I guess the reason the character has lasted as long as he has is that he's malleable enough to tell whatever kind of stories creators want to with him, but what I've seen of this interpretation doesn't appeal to me at all.

My Question:Dear General ZOD,
I find myself wondering what your opinion is on gay marriages and abortion. I am sure that you will have the solution that Planet Houston has been searching for. You seem to come from a "Sexually liberated" planet, as demonstrated by your devotion to your sadistic, wild eyed girlfriend and furry, "monkey man" sidekick. Us on Planet Houston can only wonder what happens in the glorious bedroom of General ZOD, but since you never seem to have time to take off your pajamas, it must be exhausting. I await your superior advice on this confusing subject...
Zod's Response: What I do not understand is why matters such as marriage of any sexes would concern a slave who should be doing nothing but kneeling in tribute to me! It appears as though you will soon discover my opinion on abortion, however, for I have just decided to abort your life! DIE AS YOU DESERVE TO!

My Question:o powerful ZOD i would like to kneel before you but i have no legs what should i do?
Zod's Response: An understandable question that many slaves have asked before. I have actually shot off the legs of a few defiant slaves in the past and they too begged to know how they could now kneel before me. The answer is simple. You must now lie face-down before Zod. Do you understand? LAY BEFORE ZOD!

nolan batman was excruciating enough, now we get zach snyder's inept take on it. given that nolan mistook batman's secret police fascism for rah-rah NYPD fascism i wonder how offensively snyder will handle supes' paternalistic aw-shucks fascism.
this movie deserves kevin costner and vice versa. kevin costner should play all the roles.

My Question:How many licks does it take to get to the center of YOUR MOM?
Zod's Response: Who is this "Mom" that you speak of? I have no mother, I came from pure energy matter. If I did have a "Mom" she would be my slave or would be killed. And there would be no "licks" to get to the center of her. My eye-lasers would do get to the center of her in one shot. This is what happens to those to defy ZOD!
