In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Should the “S” shield be on Superman’s cape?
Initially removed in animation because it was claimed it was too hard to animate the “S” on a flapping cape, the “S” shield on Superman’s cape has come and gone across different TV shows and movies in recent years. But Superman fans (65%) think it should always be there. Very few (6%) are against it completely.
Here’s the complete voting breakdown:

I’ve always liked the “S” shield on the cape. I thought it was a nice touch. In my opinion, it’s unique because no other superhero has their symbol on their cape. Furthermore, being that Superman is the first superhero, I think it’s only fitting that he continues to have the “S” shield on his cape.
