He's not angry at all, he's just spewing his vitriol because he can't handle the fact that his reading of a character wasn't very good. I'll add gate-keeping to the list of things you don't have a clue about while we're at it, fascism as well but that was implicit from the get-go.

Aww bless no melt down at all, just storming off in a huff like a big mature boy. I get that LibraryLass being up-voted for shooting down your piss-poor reading might have hurt a wee bit, but if you weren't so uptight it might not sting as much.

Oh look you still don't know what makes a good Superman story, or what constitutes a concept, or how to use an example. I'd almost feel sorry for you if your melt down wasn't an utter joy to witness.

Aww bless, he came back. Got anymore blunders up your sleeve?

"Not a concept" proceeds to describe a concept. Don't let the door hit you on the way out kiddo.

Aww bless, open hostility. I get that you have trouble with Superman as a concept but that's fine, playing a subversion straight isn't clever writing and we both know that. I'll give you point for sticking to you guns misguided or not but when you trying to make a point maybe credit the person who actually created the

That's a lot of words to reiterate your crappy reading of Superman champ, re-imagining Superman as a fascist overlord figure is misguided because the character is expressly designed to be a subversion of those figures.

"Frequent obedience to state authority." is one the biggest lies about "Good Superman," you'll find more examples of the opposite in the characters history and lets face out of Batman and Superman only one of them was written as an out and out champion of the underdog. It's like Captain America, don't mistake their

Bits and pieces, The Hiketeia is great but unfortunately a lot of his single issues get dragged down by the whole Maxwell Lord thing and that's just a genuinely bad plot across the board.

I'd agree that Clark's motives are so divorced from Krypton's destruction that it's not much of a factor but it's still a factor that leads to him being able to be Superman.

Honestly for all of DCs misguided attempts at making their shared universe appear more cohesive than it ever will be it's always surprised me that they've never thought to link the Utopian 31st Century with Wody's spread of Amazonian teachings in the wider world.

There's a few stand out stories among it and it's helped by the fact he's wearing the proper costume because it turns out when given the choice artists don't want to draw something that looks like a clip-on armour action figure.

Nu52 Wonder Woman rarely deals with her mission to be honest, Azzarello run is caught up Gaiman-lite Greek God bollocks, she's an angry warrior woman in the Superman/Wondy book but again that's less about her pursuit and more for providing a contrast to make the fairly bland Nu52 Superman look good and over in Justice

Superman's writing is just bad in the game/tie-in but Wonder Woman gets hit by the shit end of an already shitty stick. I honestly think it's a result of DC desperately pushing Wonder Woman/Superman as a thing throughout the nu52/DCU Period so Clark gets to have a "reasonable" motive for turning evil but Diana's role

Well if Gotham doesn't have the death penalty and we're actively going with the Joker as a crazy person in the comics sense then he's obviously not going to be executed death toll or not.

Honestly I really don't need some deep introspective look at why they don't kill, the vast majority of people including those in law enforcement don't kill people regardless of their crimes. If we're looking for a reason beyond simple marketing ones you'd have to question why most people with a chance to don't kill

That sounds more like it's a problem with writers refusing to consider any sort of threat beyond the purely physical and even then it's still only considering physical threats towards Superman, almost as if there was a reason his cast was filled with non bullet proof humans he has an emotional connection to.

Astro City does a Superman with internal conflict that amazingly doesn't feature him burning out a Captain Marvel stand-ins cerebral cortex.

In the House of Dracula.

It's just adding character, I wouldn't be the man I am today if I hadn't punched my pregnant wife into space.
