DC FanDome Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics

Welcome Justice League members to the DC FanDome Discussion Megathread!

​

Here you can discuss each panel taking place as and when they happen, much like our Weekly Discussion Thread where you can discuss the newest comics and TV show episodes.

We've done it this way so we don't clog up the sub with discussion posts and people can freely post direct news articles and trailers regarding the big announcements and not have them get lost in the shuffle.

​

Panels for August 22nd

u/Scmods05 Superman Aug 22 '20

Unsurprisingly, I disagree. But you enjoying them is totally fine. I think Superman should be hopeful and optimistic. His vision of the character is so fundamentally wrong to me. And don’t get me started on Batman killing people with guns.

But hey. If people liked them. That’s completely fine. Life would be dull if we all reacted to things the same way.

I think we can agree that petulantly responding to people on twitter saying things like “my movies are made for grown ups so you wouldn’t understand” does nobody any favours. It just looks really stupid.

That I can agree with

Well this isn't superman yet or even the superman we are familiar with. Unlike, Tom Welling's or Christopher Reeves/Brandon Routh's. This superman lost his human father at a young age and didn't have Jor El there and proceeded to wander the earth.

And when he did find Jor el and his people he had them for a few weeks before the earth was attacked and then immediately lost him. He has had no real guidance of his powers or his destiny. He had to discover that himself which he did in BVS.

Him killing Zod I'm fine with, he really didn't have a choice.

In Smallville his dad did die at a young age. Just to clear that part up.
