While I believe Batman to be the ultimate hero, I do like Supes. He's not a bad character, just an extremely difficult character to get right. How do you write for, and then in turn, portray the ultimate boy scout? The "perfectly moral" man? It's not an easy task. Especially when Hollywood wants to try and give him flaws, which he does not have, thus making him a super man. The conflict in Superman is the fact that he has to constantly be the boy scout. He has to make the "right" decision all the time. Think of the pressure. What if he makes the wrong choice? What if he could've done something differently? What if? That is Superman's ultimate conflict. His own good nature can be his downfall. As flawed a film as Superman II is, they got that right. There's the scene where Zod and his comrades realize that Superman cares for the pitiful humans and they start to use them against him. It's perfect. But to try and give Supes an "emo" complex ala Superman Returns... well, that's just not Superman. That's Spider-man.
Anyway, hope all are well. My semester is winding down, but my Christmas break hasn't even begun. I'm stage managing a show over the break and will have 5 whole days to myself over "vacation," two of which will be spent moving into my new apartment.
And Abbey... seriously... marry me?
