    I was a big fan of the New 52's Action Comics #1 - in fact, I loved pretty much all of Grant Morrison's run. It's especially fun to re-read, as some of the... odder issues make much more sense in the context of the wider story.

      Although the movie itself and the DCEU is dark, Superman as a character is still fundamentally the same, the whole point of the movie was him trying to prove the world (and Batman wrong). Of course I'm just a random guy on TH-cam so if you want a better explanation/defense please check this out: www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2016/03/29/zack-snyder-loves-superman-and-batman-v-superman-proves-it/
      Also a lot of the New 52 sucks but there was a lot of beneficial stuff as well. Scott Snyder's Batman run, Geoff Johns' JL run, Grant Morrison's run on action comics Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman run (even if the revised origin might be controversial) etc.

      +hauser1970 Not everything was bad in it. Geoff John Aquaman run was good. Wonder Woman was good. The Flash was good except Wally West parts. Batman was legendary the entire run of new 52. Deathstroke was cool.

    Action 766 DOA by Joe Kelly is a fav because it came before the Superman/Batman. It shows the difference between Superman and Batman. Their skills/powers, and most importantly, the power of love.

  • @thecosmicmoth3117
    @thecosmicmoth3117 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I might take issue with some of the numbering, but, all in all, that's a pretty good list. There are a few other issues I think deserve consideration. I'm a little surprised that nothing from Lex Luthor's Black Ring saga made it to the list. Especially issue #894 when Death of the Endless from Sandman made a cameo. I also would've added the conclusion of Grant Morrison's run with Vol. 2 #18, but I guess you don't want to add too much from one creator on a single list and the President Superman story was a good pick. I would've also loved to see Action Comics #761 where Superman and Wonder Woman are trapped in Valhalla fighting demons for a thousand years. In my opinion, that's the greatest Superman/Wonder Woman story ever. Personally, I'm a big Silver Age fan so if I made this list it would've contained oddball picks like Action Comics #243 where Supes was transformed into a lion-man, but I'm probably one of a very small group of people who appreciate those stories. DC made a pretty decent list, though, and I'm excited that we'll be getting Action Comics #1,000 soon.

      From #3 and #1.
      #3 is "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" and it ends with Superman killing [REDACTED], and he is so horrified by what he did that he outright quits being Superman by depowering himself with Gold Kriptonite.
      #1 is "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?", the message of which is: SUPERMAN DOESN'T KILL!!!

    " Its a classic story about what Superman stands for & we'll never forget " I think Snyder forgot that memo, Sorry had to. I loved Man of Steel & exploring this new take on the character, only to expand on them & improve upon in the sequels! But NOOOOO Snyder & WB had to get there Batman fix for the evening, to pander to those lunatics! Nice list by the way , although I would have switched 4 to 1 personally : )

    • @Burning-Twilight

      +Dr. Death Ironically enough Superman Returns had a better rating at 76% than MOS 56%. Yet I feel more people enjoyed & were more open minded about MOS especially the Superman fans. Now if we want to talk Donner verse his first 2 were 90% & above.

      +Larry J That's biggest problem with Snyder is that it contradicts one of the best modern superman stories. He did a tad better in batman v superman, but it still had allot of problems. To be fair I had issues with the 70's and 80's movies too, but that might just be because I grew up with post crisis superman and not pre crisis.
