Lately I’ve heard people say a lot that Superman is lame, or boring because he is a boyscout and all they can do with him is turn him into an evil antagonist to give him depth, that clearly comes from a lack of understanding. The depth of his character comes from the fact he has the power of A God yet he is more human than any of us, he would not save a suicide attempt by sweeping in and rescue a jumping person, he would stay there and listen said person to make them care for life(Superman 701) he has all this power yet he need to be careful, he needs to be better, thats why stories like Zack Snyder MoS or BVS, or Batman return don’t work, i get injustice, but enough is enough now the new Suicide Squad game, its really tiresome they just can get the character right. Its at the end exposure, DC floods the Media with Batman movies and games thats why people say he is cool and dark but superman cant be dark, he has to be light.
Doesn’t make it less lame
Which is why, in the comics/cartoons, when Superman comes up to a really bad villains, he states that he no longer has to hold back.
Fights against Mongul, Darkseid, General Zod, Doomsday, it is FULL POWER.
I recall once Superman stated he had to fight on eggshells when he goes against not so powerful foes.
With so much power, he might break instead of just stopping the criminals.
In the Justice League cartoon he told Darkseid he usually felt the world it was like carton boxes but he could take it, and continued to beat the crap out of him lol.
