See it was dead gone buried, he had forgotten about it, then someone edited for some silly reason and bumped it.

Why are people going back and editing posts in this ancient thread.

Well, I for one never posited that if Supes wasn't a perpetual virgin, he wasn't a still hero. But we've taken the debate from that micro- point to a macro- about his whole personality in a larger sense..The salient issue is not whether he cares for a sin...

not quite. my point is that the writers of the theatrical adaptations have apparently thought this and this is the reason for the reimagining of the character in the movies. they think their movie needs to be more serious and important than any comic. als...

Herm, I think our main point of contention here is whether or not one thinks a character can maintain such "traditional" traits, and still move from two-dimensional to two-and-a-half or two-and-three-quarters (remembering that we are talking fiction here,...

Nothing wrong with two dimensional. It's only a negative if you think it is.I'd rather read the classic comics than the modern tragic updates, in fact, all the comic book collections I own are vintage Superman. I don't own a single modern Superman collect...

>I don't find classic Superman flawed or lacking< You've repeatedly used belittling phrases like "two dimensional" for that character, as against a supposed sophistication of some non-traditional or modern variation. As far as IV, Reeve ...

I don't find classic Superman flawed or lacking, frankly I prefer TV's George Reeves as Superman over any of the movie incarnations. I've never seen Smallville or Lois and Clark, so I cannot comment. I am merely describing the theatrical treatment and att...

I see him as if Superman is his real personality, and Clark Kent is merely a temporary disguise. Quentin Tarantino said that "Clark Kent is Superman's comment on the whole human race."Certainly more than one way to take that, but it's a nice com...

Superman IV: Superman reveals he is Clark to Lois again, takes her round the world again, then kisses her again to make her forget it all again. He and Nuclear Man compete for some Murdoch-like guy's daughter.

Spock is a good example of the treatment of alien/human. Spock (50%) is more human than Superman (0%), yet due to the nature of the ST show the treatment of the character attempts to show just how different the is. In Superman (either TV shows or theatric...

As some have noted, in many adaptations of comic books and comic strips, the main villain usually dies at the end of the film, even if a recurring foe in the original comic book/comic strip. The MPAA made its peace in the 1970's and 1980's with having ...
