Superman doesn't really have a story. It's just "bad things happen, but Superman fixes it."

>> No.404154

Superman started the whole 'super hero' thing. The Japanese nor anyone else can have an equivalent. You can have Superman-like characters but there will never be an equivalent.

It's refreshing to see that, despite recent trends towards troll quantity over quality, you can still see some genuinely impressive contributions to the art of making people angry.

No, sometimes they're allies. Sometimes Superman is working for Lex.

Superman is just an American comic, so all anime and manga are going to be better than it.

>> No.404254

For people who say Superman has a bad story or something...

Superman has been written for sixty years by hundreds of different people.
There are alternate universe Supermen, retcons, different approaches...

Nothing close to the 'original' concept and stories.

There are some very interesting storylines, and there are retarded ones, both in older and current series.
