Appreciate that, but I actually want the books - I spend far too much of my limited lifespan in front of a screen as it is. Thanks though.

Honestly? I realize I may be in the minority, but I hope that they do update the costume a bit from the Reeve model. Lengthen the cape a bit, maybe make the colour scheme a bit stronger, perhaps along the lines of the DCAU color palette. I'm sure they will. And who knows if they really did it. But it did speak of -- respect? pandering? -- to the nostalgics like myself. |

My only problem with that line of reasoning is that going too far in that direction brings you...well, "Superman Returns". |

My only problem with that line of reasoning is that going too far in that direction brings you...well, "Superman Returns". Yes, agreed. But if it doesn't go farther than making the hopefuls put on the origina outfit to see if they have the Superman Charisma, I don't mind. |

I'm more about the comics, but with Superman even more than Batman I'm around the fringes. I like seeing different versions of the character; I don't need a canonical version because that's the one I read when I was five or six and just started reading (I distinctly remember asking my mother how to pronounce "Clark" - I couldn't decide if the c should be hard or soft) and one or two of the "exploring the universe" stories I read a couple of years later. That core of the character is buried so deep in me that nothing else can touch that.
I guess I have similar connections to other characters I read as a kid, like Spiderman, Batman, the Hulk and the FF, which is why I'm not much bothered by the offical versions getting fucked up. I know what they're really like, so anything I dislike about newer versions I can dismiss.
Anyway, that's probably why I like reading alternative interpretations more than the core books.

I'll see if I can whip something up - but if you like go right ahead.

I've got the perfect pic:  Pity about the watermark, though. |
