Personally, I think it's better to acknowledge all of Superman's history, using everything that's good and weeding out the bad stuff. But then again, I'm one of the people who's been booted out of the fandom.
I love it when other people get it.
I don't care if I'm booted out of the fandom.
I personally think George Carlin would have more respect for Superman, actually, The worst he'd do would be to tell comedy stories with the character.
George Carlin! Another one of my heroes!
Superman's teen angst does not interest me in the least.
Angst doesn't belong in Superman anyway. If I want angst I read Spider-Man. As far as Smallville goes, I can't watch it. I can't get past Tom Welling. Clark Kent was never meant to be a pretty boy jock that the girls swoon over. He's meant to be a well meaning nerd with glasses or a Peter Parker without the self loathing.
King Krypton, where do you find all this stuff about the comic and Smallville fans? It cracks me up! :lol:
