So, this is where they nreveal Krypton is the universes New Jersey adn that's why the new "Superman" acts like he should be an extra in Jersey Shore?

@SteveRogers I liked Action #1 more than I thought it would. I hate the direction they are going.

Where does Cyborg found a genuine Rob Liefeldian 90´s GUN? That´s a real relic!

Is DarkSeid anti-american? I thought he was anti-LIFE. So he´s going to spare Mexico and Canada and Argentina?

Where´s the blazes is J'onn J'onzz???

I heard the whole reason behind Supes new look and story in the comics and what seems to be in the new movie goes back to the lawsuit with the heirs

SteveRogersSon: it looks like DC is suddenly jealous of Iron Man and War Machine. Take a look at the DC-online video, Cyborg looks suspisciously similar to War Machine;

I'd like to see Cyborg with a more toned down armor instead of this clunky ass waste of metal. Like along the lines of Robocop, not too much, not to little with a bunch of hidden surprises in his suit.

@Superguy only, he ain't, He's less human. More dick. DiDio said they are going in that direction. Thousands of times. Is not me assuming shit. DiDio said "He will be more Kal-El, less Clark".

He'll be a douche, who hit's first ask questions last.

WHich actually made it kind of a bittersweet experience reading Action #1. You could see a little bit of Superman. But knowing he'll turn into Superdouche ruined the experience...

Ya, he was actually an adopted crack baby. At this rate, why the hell not.

@Truder I think thats the reason DiDio and his gang gave to remove MM from JL. Cause, you know, they know what's cool and modern.

As I see more of Cyborg on the JL and the way he is looking on this cover is that it SEEMS like DC wants an answer to the success of Iron Man. I expect a live action version in the next few years if it gains traction but doubt it will ever be as successful as Iron Man.

@SteveRogersSon - Supes is still looking out for the little guy in fact he is clearly doing so in Action Comics #1 where he saves a building full of dirt poor men, women, and children who are still in said building when it is being demolished. They all recognize he is a hero for "the people" in that issue as it is made clear as day, how did you not see that?

The Action comics series seems like a pretty straightforward take on the character who definitely does not like it when those in a position of power take advantage of those who are not, so if anything he is standing up for the "little guy" more than ever so I do not know what you are talking about "looking out for #1" nonsense.

Also I would love to hear which books he is being a bully in?

If you are referring to JL #1 and JL #2 he hears Batman and GL talking about how they are going to take him...would you not react defensively if you know someone is coming for you? He also could have easily snapped Batman's neck in that issue as well as GL but he didn't. Seems to me like some heros in a pissing contest feeling eachother out because they do not know who is a villian and who is a good guy yet. In fact in that exchange Supes thinks Batman and GL just blew up some buildings so why wouldn't he act that way?

So this is like the 6th "Origin Story" retconned for Superman, and like the 3rd in just the last 7 years.

Sigh...

- Action Comics #1

- Superman #1

- Man of Steel #1

- Birthright #1

- Secret Origins #1

- Justice League #5

2014 = the next Superman Origin Story to be re-told... I'm gonna guess it'll be called "Superman Relaunch"!

Why do I get the strange feeling Darkseid destroyed Krypton.

rbfn04 - 10/17/2011, 5:38 PM
I really hope they don't go the "Braniac is a kryptonian AI and it blasted Krypton". Leave that to the cartoons.

@rbfn04

I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees that this Superman is more Kal-El, not Clark. Hence, why I now call him simply, "Kal-El". To those that won't like this statement, I'm sorry but it's my truth.

@TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY

I know you see it too. The way to growing up is with some sort of guidance, and the Kents represented that influence.
