The WORST Opinions On Superman

Superman is one of the most iconic characters but often appears neglected or entirely disrespected outside of modern DC Comics. Many perceive the character as boring or one-dimensional due to recent adaptations like the Injustice games and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the latest title in the Batman Arkham series, both featuring evil versions of Superman. In Kill the Justice League, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern are mind-controlled by Brainiac. The DCEU, with Batman v Superman and Zack Snyder's Justice League, has portrayed a version of Clark Kent missing a key element that makes the character special. Henry Cavill's depiction in the Snyderverse sadly got cut short, with his last appearance in the Black Adam post-credits scene. The upcoming DCU reboot, beginning with Creature Commandos and James Gunn's SUPERMAN, introduces a recast Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor, along with the inclusion of Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific. As of right now, the only decent modern Superman adaptations comprise of My Adventures with Superman and Superman & Lois.

    Honestly, injustice really made an entire generation think this is how Superman really acts.
  • Superman is boring because he’s a goody to shoes Me: but u like Spider-Man, captain America, Optimus prime, all might, etc Superman is to powerful Me: u like hulk Thor etc Superman wins to much Me: literally all ur favorite heroes win all the time
  • @Amongoose06
    It seems so common to hear that superman is overpowered from Batman fans. Which is ironic because in the same argument they'll say that Batman can be anyone with "prep time". 🙄 make it make sense.
  • @monotoneguy7279
    "Superman isn't relatable" - He is relatable, because he shows everyone that anyone is capable of doing good. If you help an old lady across the street or as simple as giving your seat to an elderly... You ARE Superman
  • @Cashmoneez
    It’s crazy that people will say “Superman is boring and not relatable to the general audience” as if Smallville isn’t still like the longest running superhero show to date
  • @OhOh996
    7:00 In Invincible, Atom Eve as someone who doesn't wear masks while doing super heroics mentions in school saying, "It's a psychology thing. If you don't expect to see a superhero in your school, you don't see a superhero in your school.”
  • @CHRXCR
    That scene of Christopher Reeve altering his posture and voice on the dime is CINEMATIC GENIUS. The best Superman by far.
  • @kaine8911
    "Superman is overpowered" That's why he has so many villain's on par with him, you create a powerful MC, you give him powerful enemies. His archenemy literally has his weakess in a pocket. "He's boring" Please just read a superman comic run
  • @CapLives
    Being a Superman fan is quite an interesting thing. Comics, Cartoons, and Live Action TV are hitting, yet the masses still behind. People thinking Superman is outdated, yet rock with Captain America and All Might.
  • People will call Superman OP but then claim Batman is more relatable and realistic while also being able to beat anyone…. You can’t have it both ways guys he’s either one or the other
  • I remember one time I had to explain to my coworkers when we were talking about Superman that it wasn't about the power he possessed, but what he does with it and what he stands for.
  • @dynaguy3
    One common opinion that is currently annoying me is that people want Superman to constantly be smiling. This is an over correction to Cavill’s Superman since he was always unsure of himself and sad. But Superman is usually posing in a stoic way with a serious expression.
  • @christianb3883
    I always hated the "hE's ToO pOwErFuL" continues to talk about how cool omniman is, homelander, goku, one-punchman, ect.
  • Enough disrespect on Superman, he paved the way for Superheroes and this is the thanks he gets.
  • The worst one for me: SUPERMAN WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT AGAINST (insert Character) BECAUSE... & SUPERMAN COULD K*LL (insert character) IN A SECOND BECAUSE... Clark would never do that because HE'S SUPERMAN, he always dialogues instead of fighting, he ALWAYS TRIES to not kill unless is extremely Necesary & HE NEVER GETS INVOLVED into pointless fights
  • For the people saying that Superman is too strong and you are forced to use gimmicks to kill him like kryptonite i have a very basic response: "Doomsday killed Superman by beating the shit out of him...no lasers, no kryptonite, no magic, just a 1 v 1 fight"
  • 7:06 Henry Cavil proved it works, he went on time square, wearing Superman shirt in front of the Batman v Superman billboard and no one recognized him
  • Funny how basically every argument people have on why Superman is supposedly boring and lame ends up sounding exactly like something Lex would literally say
  • @justinjones7411
    I will never forgive Synder for ruining Doomsday. He's a character you could make a whole movie about but instead he appears in the last few minutes and does barley anything. Just like Venom from Spiderman 3.
  • I am a Superman fan, I became a Superman because Superman is the only reason that I am still alive today, he saved me from taking my own life and helped me to overcome my depression when a tragedy happened in my family, I still remember those days, it really broke me from the inside, I couldn't study, sleep or eat, I failed back 2 back in my 6th semester, but his stories and his way of solving problems taught me how to endure the worst days, he gave me hope, I am so glad that a character like Superman exists til today even after 85 years. I am literally indebted to him and DC in general every DC character like Batman, and Flash has taught me some valuable life lessons.
