Because the average reader of the past 20-30 years doesn't care for the real Superman. This is why people like Chris Nolan have to butcher the mythos; and equally why Richard Donner did it right the FIRST time. Superman is better than all this. But nobody is interested. Essentially all anyone is concerned with is how crappy the world is and they want Superman to look more like Batman. The problem is that "an eye for an eye leaves the whole blind" but unfortunately that's what the fans want. Superman used to ask us to rise above all that nonsense, but nobody wants to hear it. And that's what caused such ass-hattery in the comics.Peter the Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16871629040175884379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-1131214690795516612005-11-05T12:18:00.000-06:002005-11-05T12:18:00.000-06:00[Takes tongue from cheek]I would not call Dominus ...[Takes tongue from cheek]<BR/><BR/>I would not call Dominus a "perfectly reasonable explanation." Dominus was a terrible character whose plotline dragged on way too long. But, I did like the "alternate universe" Superman stories that came out of the beginning of it, right after "Superman Forever."<BR/><BR/>I had thought that I might have included covers there that I hadn't read, but now I see that I do own every one of those issues. the first cover is the middle part of "Dark Knight Over Metropolis," which ends with Superman giving Batman the Kryptonite ring. In the second, a handicapped kid switches bodies with Superman and beats up the Teen Titans until Jericho takes over Superman and undoes the switch (*two* Superman takeovers in one issue!). Next comes "King of the World," the culmination of a story arc where paranoid, sleep-deprived Superman, addled by Dominus's influence, takes over the planet with super-robots. In the next image, a not-yet-green Brainiac was screwing with Superman's brain, and in the last one, Lex Luthor takes over Superman's powers with a satellite. I *have* read all those issues.<BR/><BR/>Most of the argument was tongue-in-cheek; I don't really blame Superman for "Infinite Crisis," but I stand by my argument, which grows more compelling the more I think about it.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13848504.post-1131214629912592552005-11-05T12:17:00.000-06:002005-11-05T12:17:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Tom Fosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796424725228769265noreply@blogger.com
