Superman is actually really smart. I remember reading one issue where he was looking at something Batman made and saw all the ways he could improve it. I cannot remember what the device was though.....
Oh and I just got done watching a documentary about the Death of Superman and it was awesome!

I know he's smart. Sometimes, I just feel as though his intelligence is often downplayed by writers because they wish to showcase his strength and durability more.
There's a documentary on it? What'd they talk about?

Yeah, Superman's intellect is pretty downplayed.

He used to be written as a genius, during the good old Silver Age. I love those stories.

I wish they would show him as smart as he can be. I mean, doesn't he have almost all knowledge of the Kryptonians and what they knew and then some?

I'm definitely picking up Earth One book to give it a shot.

I always love to hear people at least appreciate Superman. Even if you don't like him, I hate it when people bash him like he's Hitler.

Ironically I hated Superman.........until I read a Superman story.
The guy is impossible to hate once you've read one of his comics.

I know he's smart. Sometimes, I just feel as though his intelligence is often downplayed by writers because they wish to showcase his strength and durability more. There's a documentary on it? What'd they talk about? It was an interview with the creative staff of the story arc. Some of them started to tear up when they discussed parts of the story that were particularly emotional. It was a fun thing to watch. |

Not gonna lie, Superman is the reason that I got into comics <3 I saw the newest movie, then I went on to watch the classic Superman Movies (which are the BEST EVAR)
Then I got my first Superman comic, which was randomly the first isue of Superman: For Tomorrow. (because I liked the art) Then I went on from there xD
I discovered all these ofther dudes that were awesome, Hal Jordan being one of them. <3 <3 <3
But Supes has a special place in my heart xD

I have to be honest, I did not like the Christopher Reeve movies. They had cool parts but most of it was campy nonsense. I mute the 'Can you read my mind' poem every single time and the memory of it still makes me cringe. Reeve is awesome, it is just literally everyone else that sucks.
I also liked the Superman Returns movie so I do not expect many to agree with my opinion.

I'm not really into DC, but Superman is still one of my top ten favorite characters of all time. I love what's goin' on with him currently, and I'm sorta interested in delving deeper into his history.
