I miss the Crime Syndicate. It'd be neat to see them show up in Darkseids' universe and kick the shit out of the evil leads just for trying to imitate them.

Arrow somewhat of an exception because though it slumped, it started getting better again. And the character of Arrow slowly started to loosen up a little with some jokes. In a very Arrow-like way. Which was good because Stephen Amell has a gift for deadpan humour:
Arrow: "Do you really think that's a good idea? The last person I trained I shot in the leg with an arrow."
Felicity: "Poor Barry."
Arrow: "I meant Roy. But also Barry."

I miss the N52 version, they were one of the few good things to come of it. Ditching the Morrison weirdness (if we touch we explode) and just being bastards. The Crisis on Two Earths version was also peak.
The current ones are diversified as shit and Ultraman and Johnny are dead, Superwoman is Donna, Atomica is black and not Latin, “Emerald Knight” is boring like every iteration of the nigger and they got outplayed by Waller.
Absolute being revealed to be a reborn Earth-3 or Antimatter universe would've gotten me onboard. The Darkseid link, like the Maker link in new Ultimate holds it back.

Speaking of which. Additionally, observing James Gunn's apparent insistence on casting actresses who resemble men or young boys without makeup, I suspect that the rumors regarding his choice for Wonder Woman in the DCU are accurate.

I don't understand most of this. Who is that. What do they mean by free her from the shackles of liberal Zionist man? I am too disconnected from culture to get their point.
Most Wonder Woman looking actress I've ever seen was the one from the semi-pro fan series "Bat In The Sun" where they did match-ups between various heroes for fun. Not only did their actress look spot on for Wonder Woman (more so than Gal Gadot) but for all that it was more for fun, she had a pretty darn good demeanor for her as well.
Honestly, there was a tonne of love and dedication in their videos.

Only guess is that they are speaking about Gadot, who served under the Israel army and is pro-Israel, so choosing this actress will save the character from Jewish influence or whatever...

Autistic Powerlevel incoming, sticker me however for it.
I'm redoing a shelf in my back room as a Superman shelf and I did an inventory and I have 216 individual Superman collections in trade and hardcover, plus ~25 more I have no idea where I put whatever box they're in or even who's house they are at (could be at my dad's, could be here. who knows, but I'm missing half of n52 action and those "greatest stories ever told" collections which there are 3 or 4 superman ones i had)
anyways, what's crazy about this, beyond the fact I've wasted my money since I started reading on this crap over 25 years, is that going through them and organizing them and shit that so many of these exist collected entirely like shit compared to other characters.
I've complained forever about Superman being collected poorly but it's amazing when I actually look at how much there actually is collected (and I doubt I have half of them) and what they are. most superman collections are random themed compilations of hodgepodge issues from all over the place, and most the stuff collecting material from the 80s to when I stopped buying this shit (mid-bendis) is collected entirely in reader unfriendly ways or with shit like missing issues, only parts of issues, etc.
the new krypton era is collected in a way that not only looks disgusting on a shelf, but also if you hadn't read it in singles, would be impossible to follow the story properly. the stuff not long before that, around infinite crisis and after into John's and Busiek's runs is collected in weird ways with giant gaps between issues in each book and theyre in other books instead or not in trade at all. new 52 is in individual volumes missing vital parts of crossovers by not including other books issues at all, then having crossover books that collect all of it, but couldn't replace your other copy because it'll be missing the proceeding or following issue from the crossover of the main book but have every other issue from it.
It's fucking crazy that nobody at DC throughout the 90s, the 2000s and the 2010s ever went "why dont we collect every recent issue of superman and action comics together in 12 issue batches with crossovers if needed" in 30 fucking years they didnt figure that out. Even shit that is collected right, isn't right. They did the Byrne era Man of Steel hardcovers, which are great. But dont have the world of miniseries and the concurrent Lois Lane mini (which is randomly collected in DC's Greatest Detective Stories for unknown reasons) but include Superman the Earth Stealers which was Byrne too but is decidedly non canon to that material.

No, I see a puffy-faced kike dressed like a whore who looks like Tye Sheridan and is riddled with more moles than the underworld. All while having a bull ring in her nose.
SAD! PATHETIC!

Pretty sure you misread it and that was referencing Gunn's casting of the actress playing Supergirl, not the woman in the pictures in that post.

Since you seem like someone who'd care, I'll point out that's one of the last pre-crisis stories.
At a thrift store once I found the final issue of DC Presents, which advertised itself as one more issue of Earth One Supes before the Byrne reset. The remains of Argo City crash into Metropolis so the city is showered in Kryptonite and dead Kryptonians. That was a pretty weird note to leave on if you didn't read Alan Moore's story.

Yeah, it's just weird the Earth Stealers makes it in, but the World of one's didn't, and if Earth Stealers did, I dont see why you wouldn't include the Lois story. It's roughly the same length. and fits with their theme of collecting things retarded. In any case it belongs almost anywhere besides The Greatest Detective Stories Ever Told.
I can sort of forgive not including world of metropolis or smallville, because frankly theyre both terrible. world of krypton rules though, but it of course has it's own book. which is another example of incompetent collecting.
There's one version that's just the Byrne/Mignola series, and a later one collecting other shit from earlier too called Many Worlds of Krypton. but what's stupid about that book, is there's a second pre crisis superman mini series about his family tree called Krypton Chronicles that's not in there, and just seems like an omission considering it has the world of krypton backup strips but I guess they were committed to only collecting things with that specific title.
Ideally, they could have done a collection of the few various pre crisis (and post but only in publication like Earth Stealers) minis and one shots as one book. Superman the Secret Years, the original World of Krypton, Krypton Chronicles, that Lois Lane book and Phantom Zone.
in regards to that Presents issue, it's all kinds of fucking weird. It was the last mainline published pre crisis superman story in that era, and is actually a sequel to that Phantom Zone mini I just mentioned, but iirc (i haven't read it in years) has Mxyptlk involved and full evil like Moore's Whatever Happened, but can't possibly share canonicity with that story because they contradict each other. It doesn't stand alone because of it's ties to that Zone series, but sort of undoes things from it, seems to want to tie in to Moore's story with certain things, but just doesn't make sense if it's supposed to, and is a really weird place to end.
I suspect it was written way in advance and then at the last minute got rewritten but half assed and they figured, fuck it, none of this matters anymore anyways. From what I recall, I kind of like it though, its weird as shit.
That Phantom Zone miniseries is weird as shit too. It's a weird and oddly violent psychedelic story where the phantom zone is revealed to actually have something to do with some sort of cosmic entity.

@el bandito loco There's some very classic feeling Superman in the Batman "Second Knight" comic. I'm not into comics enough to say what this would be... Golden Age?
Normal but heroic proportions, costume that looks like fabric, powers that are superhuman without being at the level of knocking over skyscrapers... A good version of Superman.
There's a slightly awkward subplot but the art and general tone of the "First Knight" and "Second Knight" series is pretty good. Certainly a couple of levels above most of what is seen from Marvel and DC these days. And you can't imagine this Superman breaking under the strain of his girlfriend asking him a couple of questions like the Gunn one.

I read the first series and enjoyed it, I've been waiting for this one to wrap up. I didn't know they brought in Superman for 2, but I'm excited to read it. It's written by Dan Jurgens isn't it? As far as just regular comics creators, he's probably one of my favorite writers and artists who you can usually count on to put out solid work. I can't think of anything written or drawn by him thats flat out bad.
He's one of those guys, particularly on Superman over the years, if you see his name on a book you probably aren't getting a masterpiece or anything but you're getting perfectly good or better than average stuff, seeing him do a golden age thing is awesome.
Oh yes, before I forget I forgot to mention something about that Phantom Zone miniseries thats always stuck with me. In it, there's this random scene that has nothing to do with anything that I fuckin love. Apparently, in the DC Universe, punk rock doesn't exist but it's equivalent is called bizarro, and the movements thesis is their generation, everyone born after 1960 is an imperfect duplicate. and a couple escaped kryptonians go to an underground club where there's a bunch of
I feel like the bizarro music scene is too good of an idea to only exist in 2 inconsequential pages in a weird comic from 1982 and it's always surprised me nobody like grant morrison or someone who does shit like him has never pulled it out of their ass and used it again.

A small reminder: Fox's Batman show in Gotham got away with whitewashing the mutant gang leader, and so-called geek journalists and fake geek cult woke retards didn’t care. Frank Miller made it clear that the mutant leader was an albino African American and was based on Mr. T. Blackwashing characters is indeed part of an agenda.
