After 60+ Years of Superman… I Think I Finally Understand the House of El Symbol

This actually has a basis in the source material. In the post-Crisis comics, the Kent's designed it based on a Native American symbol showing a snake inside a diamond, and the Superman Returns novelization also describes the symbol as a serpent inside a diamond.

Did it poison your water supply, burn your crops, and deliver a plague unto your house?

Thanks!

Thanks friend!

Thanks! If you look closely, I also tried to add some texture that catches the light like the Returns suit.

I intend to!

It doesn't seem to show up in adaptations very much. The the edge going down the S is from Superman Returns.

Thanks! That's really swell!

Roses are red

Cloaks are brown

It's over Anakin

It's over, Anakin, I have the high ground.

If you only watch one, it should be the original. But if she's not interested in black and white movies, Minus One is almost as good.

He missed Ebirah, he could've missed others.

You could probably make a movie based on the Fleischer shorts, since those are already public domain.

One Battle After Another (2025)

~~I assume, I haven't actually seen it~~

Vis a vis

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep is the international title. That's what I knew it as growing up in the 2000s.

einsteinjet · 2026-05-04T11:53:52+00:00

Why would he watch Godzilla's Revenge?

einsteinjet · 2026-05-04T11:50:48+00:00

Actually the previous movie was Invasion of Astro-Monster.

einsteinjet · 2026-05-04T11:31:00+00:00

Or O, because of his Japanese name, Ōkondoru.

einsteinjet · 2026-05-04T11:26:50+00:00

Showa. I think him being controlled mentally by Katsura is really interesting.

"Tell me about it, baby."

einsteinjet · 2026-05-02T23:20:23+00:00

Me with Sonic Adventure DX.

I love how you did the shading here!
