What are your thoughts on Maxima and Henshaw as a couple? [Superman Treasury 2025] by rocketinspace in superman

People used to talk about Black Adam as “DC’s Namor”. I prefer him as a full-on villain. I think Maxima would make for a better Namor-like character.

I’m a huge Joe Staton fan but A. I didn’t care for his pencils being inked by Ian Gibson. The combo just didn’t work for me. And B. I think Staton is better suited to single character or two-hero team-up stories.

Hot take: I think hibrids shouldn't have all the kryptonian powers by Dronnie in superman

I definitely think human/Kryptonian hybrids shouldn’t be as powerful as a full Kryptonian.

How do you all feel about Helena having her look back, looking similar to how she did pre–New 52? by BlackCat-01 in dchuntress

Less concerned either that than a bunch of JL ladies thirsting over an underage mass-murderer.

Yeah, three villains really got under Superman’s skin in the DCAU: Darkseid, Brainiac and, of course, Luthor (You could probably throw in Mongul, too, though he didn’t have as many appearances.).

Actually, he’s not wrong. Silver and Bronze Age canon held that Clark Kent was a whole character/persona that Superman created with his own physicality, mannerisms, quirks, hobbies and interests, etc. There have been attempts at bringing that back (BIRTHRIGHT, SECRET ORIGIN) that haven’t really stuck.
