Love it. Fleischer Supes was a boss and the animation still holds up today. It was so smooth.

Cheers buddy , I'm not really a huge fan of the man of steel, but I've always enjoyed the Max Fleischer Superman animations, as they've a classic retro art style which is just super cool

Yeah, I never was a fan of him either. Always seemed too perfect and a littl 2 dimensional because of it. Mostly because he's too powerful and the only weaknesses I know of are Kryptonite and Louis being in danger, which gets old quickly...
I like that design too, his suit and look always were (and will be) iconic
Only reason I like him is because he was the start of the super heroes basically
Again, good work

To be honest, I am a fan of the 1st couple of Christopher Reeve Superman movies. Yes they do come across as old fashioned and a bit cheesy these days, but they did set the initial trend for future comic book films.
Strangely enough, Guillermo Del Toro wholeheartedly admits, that Superman 1 & 2 had a big influence on Hellboy

Oh they were good, great to watch as a kid
Nowadays I prefer the grittier comic book films though, like The Dark Knight, Wanted, Punisher: War Zone etc.
Really? Wow, never woulda guessed that!
Speaking of comic book films, I can't wait for Watchmen to come out on DVD!!!

Yeah, the directors cut of Watchmen should be very cool, although it'll be rather long, so I might view the movie in a sections, unless you have a super tough adamantium backside

Aspiring-Mangaka In reply to pypedreams [2009-06-05 12:42:40 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, it'd be worth it though
Directors cut has the Freighter Of The Black Lagoon bit mixed into it like the book, so that'll be bad ass
I dont have an adamantium backside...but I could sit on my adamantium pencil lol
