Greetings all. My name is Dan, I am a 54 year old man that has seen a lot of change in the world, some good, some bad and I usually don't say anything. Oh I vote to change what I believe is wrong, give back money to the bank or grocery store if the give me too much when I buy groceries or cash a check, I believe in Jesus and go to church regularly, I don't swear or steal and do my best to be the best person I can be. When I was growing up I loved Superman, I credit him as the role model that taught me my moral base as a young child. Later in life I of course credit the Lord for my continued change but back then it was Superman that captured my imagination. He was the larger than life hero that all of the other super heroes looked up to. No one could ever win against his nobility and awesome powers.
As I grew I drifted away of course and put away the things of childhood, all that is except my love for the man of steel. He was the one thing in my life that stayed constant. My dad died when I was six so I really needed someone to fill that role and sad to say he was all that was available, but that was OK with me. The writers at DC through the years made some pretty glaring mistakes in the continuity of the DC universe so they came up with the whole "Crisis" idea to reboot the entire thing and because I was out of touch for years I am not sure exactly when it happened but Superman lost a lot of his powers. This is sad because for some reason DC got it into their collective minds that he was too super so they humanized him thus nearly destroying him altogether.
If you read the DC saga wherein Superboy Prime goes nuts and goes on his rampage you'll see the almost unlimited power that this character has and how he destroys entire universes as well as another Superman along the way. This is the power that Superman had when I was a boy. I believe I read on a Wiki site that very analogy, the comparison of the powers of Superboy Prime to that of the Superman of old. It is this very thing that has brought me to make this site. I want to start a movement to bring back the Superman I grew up with, totally indestructible (Doomsday who?) with the powers of a god. Join me won't you? Enough with the little college kid actors, when I was young there was an actor named Clint Walker that would have been perfect as the man of steel, big, imposing and built like a tank. Find someone like that to play Supes not some little charming kid. Lets see if we can sway Hollywood to do the right thing, shall we?
