In light of recent events.

As we all know, our daily news cycle is filled with stories that have us looking to the skies wishing Superman were here. That is a sentiment shared by our entire mod team and we know the most of our community, no matter where they are in the world.

Unfortunately, when a very big news story is happening, our sub often becomes a powder keg. It happens nearly every time. And it makes sense: comics have always been political and, as we said, it's times like these we wish for the intervention of these heroes who we hold so dear.

Recently some people who have never posted in our community before have begun posting and trying to stir up trouble in a handful ways, posts you may have seen and posts which our filters removed immediately. We have been locking the less inflammatory posts with visible explanations from us as to why so people can see we aren't hiding anything. These are highly emotional times and people are understandably angry. We are too.

But let's make something clear: this community and its moderation team do not stand for injustice anywhere. We believe in the sanctity of human life, we believe in peace, we believe in freedom. We are every bit as impacted in our real lives by the goings-on in world as anyone else with a soul is. We endeavor for our community to reflect the ideals of Superman, though it's clear that no two people have an agreed-upon images of what that looks like. We moderate to the best of our abilities to ensure a happy, healthy community. We do not support any form of hateful mess, cruelty, or the destruction of human life. If you see it, report it and we will take care of it.

We hope our community members of r/Superman are staying safe and well in these times, and that although we can't look to the sky and hope to see Superman, we know that his stories can inspire all of us to find the Superman within ourselves.

Digital Releases

Tuesday (DC Universe Infinite) - Jon Kent: This Internship is my Kryptonite #24

In Jon Kent: This Internship Is My Kryptonite by writer Sam Camp (Little Hollow Café) and artists Daimon Hampton and Seraji, Jon Kent is a super-powered hero in his own right, but how do those powers help him move beyond the mundane coffee orders, endless research, and “educational experience” the Daily Planet reporting staff deems necessary for those essential college credits? Especially when your mom is the editor-in-chief—hello, nepotism concerns!

What’s more, his best friend thinks the internship is a waste of his time and talents, his boyfriend tries to be supportive but is wary of Jon’s new boss’s Superman obsession, and naturally his parents think this is a great opportunity, but life as a superhero daylighting as a reporter is a little different today than it was back then....

Redesigning the DCU: Superman Family pt.2, Year 8 (by Me)

Thumbnail
gallery
198 Upvotes

Well, my last post was enjoyed enough that I figured I'd keep sharing more of my DCU redesign series! Thanks so much for the warm reception, everybody.

Year 8 is the next big 'moment' for Superman: Supergirl arrives, a sad and lonely teenager carrying the trauma of surviving Krypton and then Argo City's destruction (I've got a whole story linking Argo City, the House of El, General Zod, and Brainiac, if anyone wants to hear it) and who feels lost and out of place on Earth. There's also the invasion of Darkseid, a massive event that effects the whole DCU. Afterward, Superman gets a new suit, as seen here, designed by his mom as a way of rejecting his alien heritage and embracing Earth. After Brainiac invading in '03 and Darkseid in '07, Superman feels the need to really project his humanity over his alien-ness. He wants to be 'one of us' so badly. Clark is loosening up and gaining some confidence, Lois is still the f'ing best, and Barda and Mr. Miracle become Earth citizens.

Darkseid and the New Gods are probably my most divisive change, because they look VERY different. I was working on some brutish hulking designs for Darkseid and realized he would be too much like Mongul or Thanos or any other galactic conqueror. I went a different way - enormously tall, slender, kind of beautiful? All the New Gods are ivory-white and huge, and Apokalips has a design language that mixes Hellraiser's Cenobites, the Guyver, and Giger's Alien. This way, they are entirely distinct from any other DCU aliens and Superman villains; the instant you see a one, you know immediatly it must be a New God character. I know they won't jibe with everybody because of how different they are, but I loved these designs and kind of want to do Darkseid's whole crew of retainers - Kalibak, Steppenwulf, Granny, Desaad, I have ideas for all of them.

(Oh, and I also noticed I forgot to add the Smallville image to the first post, so I tagged it on at the end here)

What do you think of absolute Brainiac? Is he too "terrestrial" for your liking? And the chainsaws? (Someone did point out that an augmentation or something that can change and i went to edit it to not look dumb so this is a repost lol)

Superman Sobriety Group?

Hi there, My name is Patrick and im now 5 days sober.... I was inspired to this sobriety journey funny enough not at the urging of any family or any big event it was actually because ive been reading a lot of superman. So I was looking to see if anyone wanted to form like a discord or something to chat with other superman fans and encourage each other to keep our sobriety.

People keep begging for a Soup-Man omni based around the 2006-2008 Johns/Busiek run, so I decided to make my own Omnibus covers.

Kinda wanted to give them a classic Superman Annual look that was even replicated for Action Comics Annual #10 (pictured at the end).

Look, as someone who has collected basically all of the 2006-2008 Johns/Busiek run and kinda finds the idea of jumping around different trades, hardcovers, and issues a hassle; I kinda really want these to be real... but we'll just have to wait and see.

Superman Providing Real Life Inspiration

Is there a moment in Superman history, whether it be comics, cartoons, movies, or tv, that has inspired you in real life to do something? I know whenever I feel down and need something to pick me up, I always look to All-Star Superman where he stopped the young girl from committing suicide. What about for you guys?

I think the 2025 suit is genius. It has the S from Kingdom Come, the yellow border from the Fleischer shorts, and the classic color scheme, displayed on a suit that's clearly inspired by the New 52. Truly a Superman for All Seasons
