May 29, 2013: "Man of Steel" Countdown - Part 56

Man of Steel Superman Homepage staff writer Jeffrey Taylor has submitted his 56th installment to Movies.com following the progression of the "Man of Steel" film starring Henry Cavill...

    Being a Superman fan in 2013 is like following a favorite sports team that was once number one and finally returns to the glory it once had. Superman topped all other comic book sales from his inception in 1938 until Batman overtook him in 1986. That's nearly 50 years of being not only the first superhero, but the best-selling. So why is it that at his 75th anniversary, some online writers want to make their mark by showing why Superman isn't good enough?

    Why does it make someone "cool" to rip on Superman? Why do people agree with it? Why are there still so many quiet fans who know better and fall silent when another person says, "I hate Superman?" This kind of thing doesn't happen to Batman, Spider-Man or Wolverine.

    Then you have the passionate fans who for one reason or another have decided in advance that there's no way Man of Steel could possibly be any good because the character has been changed and updated again.
