The "only one actor could ever play Superman" argument ended when Christopher Reeve played him in 1978. Marvel's best bet to rival Superman's popularity has been either Hulk or Spider-Man, and they haven't had multiple projects coming out at once. Yeah, we've got Miles Morales' animated movie, but to really be on the same level as Superman ...

“Rocketed as a baby from the doomed planet Krypton…”. Supermanis the ultimate example of someone that came from another place to America and “made good”. Immigrants are very much on the minds of Americans today. Superman could be a great help to elevate the negative connotations the idea of the immigrant has now. America is a nation of immigrants. ...
Creators Siegel and Shuster admittedly counted “The Mask Of Zorro” as an influence and Zorro and Don Diego de la Vega as templates for both Superman and Clark Kent respectively. Early comedian Harold Lloyd was also an influence on the look of Clark Kent. The “underwear on the outside” came from circus strongmen and wrestlers outfits. Related: 10 We...
In the film “Man of Steel”, the “S” on Superman’s chest is the Kryptonian symbol for hope. The country is split down the middle because of social and political issues and a figure that inspires hope is something that this country is in desperate need of these days. Superman works best when he is inspiring. In nearly every incarnation of the Justice...
To comics outsiders, a pair of glasses and a suit shouldn’t be fooling anyone when it comes to Clark Kent. Over the years, writers have tried to expand the idea by having Clark study acting techniques, wearing deliberately larger clothing, slouching and several other excuses to hide his identity.

The Superman TV series ended with the saying “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” Truth has become subjective and is seemingly under daily attack. The once reliable institutions have become unreliable sources. Justice itself is up for grabs. Money and race seem to be the deciding factors on who gets justice, who gets arrested and who gets shot. “...
Smallville has always been portrayed as the quintessential small town, where everyone knew everyone. The quiet, sleepy areas where nothing very bad happens, everyone thinks the same, talk the same and mostly looks the same. Those ideas went away with "Mayberry RFD" and black and white TV.

Although there is a precedent to argue this point, Superman was the first superhero and the archetype for the “Golden Age of Superheroes”. Superman established a number of the things that became constants of the superhero genre: The altruistic nature, the skintight costume, powers and abilities, a secret identity and an identifying code name. After...
“Mild Mannered Reporter for a Major Metropolitan Newspaper”. There is a definite need for good reporters today. People who aren’t afraid to speak truth to power and who will shine a light into the dark places are desperately needed. It is the “Major Metropolitan Newspaper” part that is the problem. The fact is that very few newspapers exist anymore...
One of the best things about DC Rebirth is that the marriage of Lois Lane and Clark Kent remained part of the continuity but it also gives them a child, Jonathan Samuel Kent, who has grown into the newest Superboy. Unlike some marriages in comics, the marriage of Lois and Clark has redefined both characters and made them stronger and better for it....
A chief complaint of some writers has been that Superman is difficult to write because it is nearly impossible to challenge him. Any good story has a point where the characters meet challenges that they have to overcome. If Superman is basically a god, what challenges can there be and stakes that make the audience empathize with his struggle? This ...

Sep 19, 2023 · Superman is often declared an outdated and boring character by critical readers, but at least one DC Comics writer has a strong rebuttal for those arguments, suggesting that the opposite is true, and that what the attributes that make him seem "boring" to some are what make him exciting to others. According to writer Mark Russell, the Man of Steel’s clean-cut image is what makes the ...
