aw yeah, decked out in future armor, just like a cop ought to be. Everyone loves it when the state monopoly on violence is mixed with celebrity worship :lt-dbyf-dubois:
it's just to make him look like a cop too. He doesn't need armor
Even if this is a bit, I am quite exhausted with all these freaking dweebs thinking the best way to modernize Superman is to try and make him some weird sky tyrant
Have him go after a bald billionaire who's trying to sell robots to InterGang, then have him toss a crooked landlord into the back of a garbage truck
Take him back to his roots where he was just a strong guy who tormented rich bastards.

Basically :soviet-chad:
As much as I hate Man of Steel and what Snyder did...there really was a golden nugget of an idea in that whole enterprise about treating Superman as more of an Alien invasion story than as straight superhero movie.
I actually think you could do a really solid Climate change and anti capitalism allegory origin with Superman today. The framework is seriously all there. Jor-El and his guild warning the rich bougiesie about the impending collapse of Krypton for decades while they keep on plowing forward into their own doom. Kal-El being sent to earth to show them a better way. Even the whole imagery of the Kent farm has an opportunity if it gets bought out at some point. You can really reinvent this character in a big way while going all the way back to his roots at the same time.

:think-mark:
when you want a superman even more fascist than zach snyder can create :jesus-christ:
THe only thing the superman on the right is missing is an azov logo at this point
This feels like a joke there's no way someone actually thinks a man impervious to basically everything needs armour
I don’t know really know shit about superman but doesn’t he get power from the sun. Surely the more exposed skin he has the more power he gains :panting:
For a female superhero that would be an excuse to draw her flying around in pasties lol
Superman should be retconned as either a reptile or a plant.
Superman needs to hang dong
:pepe-silvia: :both-sides:
I mean Batman hung dong, so why not Supes?

religious saviors are normally depicted wearing clothes
it is widely regarded that naked men talking about being religious figures are simply mad
There’s a lot of Jesus art that depicts him as wearing only a towel or loincloth
there is a lot of difference between a towel/loincloth and being naked. That art probably intends to depict him as a very poor man in the ancient middle east
Nah its more a thing when portraying the resurrection. He was left with just a shawl iirc, though I think that was left behind in the tomb when Mary found it empty
ah fair enough. Classical italian art also likes to depict men nude but in the context of a comic people would just think it was porn
To deeply insecure fash and fash-adjacent dudebros, masculinity is about being as emotionally unavailable and militarized as possible. Smiling, looking at ease, and even eye contact are all gaaay. :frothingfash:
Show how manly you are by-- checks notes --covering yourself in personal protective equipment.
:party-parrot-mask:
:frothingfash: : NOT LIKE THAT!
As an indestructible man, Superman needs to wear tacticool kevlar armor and a helmet with a NVG mount
Why the hell would superman wear armour? Honestly if I was superman and impervious to everything except kryptonite I wouldn't even bother getting changed. I'd just fly in wearing jeans and a tshirt or whatever.
Cops just fucking blasting away, literally the only response to any situation
Remove the yellow from the chest logo and just make it a cleavage window.
I haven't had nearly enough military propaganda shoved down my throat:bootlicker:
definitely. i've so much AI generated armor at this point i can instantly recognize the style. it loves the random "sloping" effects reminds me of that mica crystal
why does superman need armor
bullets literally bounce off his chest
