Title: What SUPERMAN RETURNS can teach us about All-Star Post by: JulianPerez on June 29, 2006, 03:02:36 PM I'm sure it wasn't planned like this, but 2006 is really the Year of Jimmy.
We've got a scene stealing character part of Jimmy Olsen in SUPERMAN RETURNS, who got all the best lines in the film, and we've got a gutsy little Jimmy in the Grant Morrison book. One thing about Superman's characterization in ALL-STAR always seemed a little "off" to me, which is done "right" in SUPERMAN RETURNS. Superman in ALL-STAR always seemed excessively polite, and while Superman has always been civil and well-mannered, he was never "old fashoined." Superman in ALL-STAR has his well-manneredness become exaggerated to superhuman dimension - apologizing to Lois because of monsters, and so forth. In SR, he's considerate, to be sure, but it's natural.

It comes and goes. |
