And the movie still hasn't opened in Japan, which would seem to be a money press there.

@avclub-90d7348fce3c310aa923fc635bf7170f:disqus  He mostly just ignored it, though.  there's not a whole lot that happened with lightning superman that couldn't have worked with standard Superman.

you can crap on most of them all you want, but Krypto is amazing and deserves respect.

how about some love for the other side of the Superman coin at the time, Kurt Busiek?  while Johns was trying to go for this big silver age action movie thing, Busiek was channeling the best of the Bronze age Superman. 

@avclub-022199896b1f52952c180b60caa681bd:disqus , I think the issue is more with the characterization Byrne went for.  He's a very Either/Or writer without much room for middle ground, so a lot of Superman's previous characterization went away, because he didn't agree with it.  Any sort of outsider status or regret…

@avclub-734ffb84cfa214922893511fae356b45:disqus  just checking. I've seen it in Chicago, also, but that doesn't mean anything.  Maybe it's just a midwest thing nowadays?

It's not a cliche, it's just the truth.  Name me one person who doesn't physically intimidate him that ben weasel wouldn't punch for throwing ice at him?

Yeah, I don't think the atheist got her comeuppance.  and, if I'm remembering right, I think McDuffie was an Atheist, so there's that.
