(The Classic version, in fact, acted just like the original - crashing into places to see justice done, dropping off suspects with a forced confession. These kind of tactics, used by the old Superman, didn't mesh well with the times of today, with things like due process and thelike.)Kandou Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233336986244371430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-7538171670554373032010-12-09T13:50:01.119-04:002010-12-09T13:50:01.119-04:00I don't know if I'm splitting hairs exactl...I don't know if I'm splitting hairs exactly, but there is a difference between the Golden Age Superman, and the older salt and pepper version that disappeared in between Crises.<br /><br />The "waiting for Man of Steel" Superman will be represented a number of times, including some time next week! That "era" was full of imaginary stories and stunt covers that supplied us with various Supermen.

"Man of Bronze? We'll make ours a Man of Steel." "The most all-competent man alive today? Our guy will be a Man of Tomorrow!"<br /><br />Of course, originally Kal-L couldn't fly, all he could do was leap tall buildings. I always like looking at the old Max Fleischer cartoons as a record of Kal-L's transitional period, when his leaping got increasingly flight-like as he began to exert control over his trajectory:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb8iYqIVBzQ<br /><br />Note: Captain Marvel was already flying by this point, and doing the things we later associate with Superman.
