The BEST Superman story ever! | All-Star Superman 

Yeah, we don't have time for everything.

Easily the best part, though.

Why give away the farm? They're just giving you a taste. No need to rob people of touching moments to experience themselves.

My guy spoilers

Assholes

so fun fact, the clark kent thing? dissonance between recognising identities? not as crazy as it seems. It's less likely to work on someone who interacts with you a lot and gets a clear look at your face, but you'd be suprised how often it actually works. It's like seing a guy dressed as santa at a halloween party, you don;t think 'santa' or even 'off-duty mall santa' because it's so out of place it's funny, so you assume it's a joke. if your dad suddenly claimed to be a teacher at your school after a few years of NOT being one, and said that they'd always been one, even if it was a teacher you never saw or looked kind lof like them, you probably wouldn't believe it. Famously, tom cruise filmed himself working as a courier for weeks to prepare for his role in "Collateral", Maryln munroe held an interview in broad daylight walking down the street, groucho marx once showed up to an expactant crowd having forgotten his moustache and eyebrow makeup and mel gibson once showed of to an interviwer by 'turning off the charm' at a DMV. in all of these cases, they went completely unnoticed, and unrecognise, Tom cruise and Mel gibson even went as far as to have long conversations with random people, and it still didn't break the illusion. Munroe even illustrated why to her interviewer; the people wer so used to associating Marlyn munroe with her over-the-top outfits, makeup and mannerisms that no one saw her until she started strutting and swaying her hips like in the film, which she did and got recognised right awayHeck Clark himself was based on a real actor (among other things), who gave the same story, his glasses were so tied into his character that no-one recognised him when he took them of. To REALLY bring this all together, one of the promotions they did for man of steel was for Henry Cavill to stand under a billboard of his own face, wearing glasses (and a superman shirt) and wait for someone to recognise or talk to him. they filmed the whole thing from multiple angles and no-one approached him, slowed down or took a picture at all. In this book, they go to a lot of effort to draw clark and superman as different people, with superman being tall, confident and graceful, while clark hunches, re-adjusts his spine and shoulders, speaks differently and avoids looking people in the face. Grant Morrison also added an extra layer in that his glasses are pieces of the ship he came to earth on, which disguise his super-humanly blue and piercing eyes. Clark's eyes, filtered through the glasses, thus become dull and look distorted, and by adjusting his jaw his face becomes a lot rounder as well which costs him his distinctive chin. so by removing the cheeks, chin, eyes and hair and completely re-arranging the body structure so the muscle seems to droop into fat, the ends result is clark looks like he MIGHT be around the same size as superman if you could get them next to each other. A big part of this is the fact that while we probably WOULD see through it if enough attention is drawn to it, and we have the right context, we do not have perfect awareness of our surroundings at all times and out thoughts generally cannot stop on a dime and switch directions unless forced to. for example, talking to someone who's not there because a)you forget who you're talking to, b) they remind you of that person and you slip up, or c) they walked off and you don't notice. even if you swear it wouldn;t happen to yo, you probably know some people who would have experienced it. It's a side effect of our learning object permanance and ability to learn from past events, by filling in the things we don;t see from those events we become blind to change

​​@@danielwilson8604the thing about his glasses dulling the color of his eyes is from Superman Birthright by Mark Waid not Morrison and it wasnt a piece of the ship it was just regular glasses

Hey now, you’re an All Star! Get your cape on, save the day!

Superman finally reached his true potential

I think that was intentional.

Only shooting stars break the mold

Thanks, Adam! Hope you enjoy!

same but a decade later

Also now there's We are Robin which is basically that.

Just Some Guy with a Mustache Is there any way to read All-Star GL? Because I really haven't heard about it. So, I'd love to somehow read it. :)

Ritesh N Legend has it that Alan Moore pulled everything having to do with his *All-Star Green Lantern* from every source ever.

+Just Some Guy with a Mustache Kayfabe!!!

then more Alan Moore shit

Just Some Guy with a Mustache This would've been funny if you actually thought of something to write, not just "Alan Moore BS".

"Golden Sun God" isn't all too accurate. Try "Gold-Skinned, Ying-yang Jesus"

Tigger Trigger You,are right sir!🤙

Thank you, man! That really means a lot. It's part of why I love the show so much. I think it appeals to fans and non-comics readers because everybody gets some representation. Plus, when the book is dynamite you really see a reaction, like you said. - Sal

nerdicus Thank you, Nerdicus. I was aware of the other stories but not that they were actually interconnected. I prefer this concept to the others, and like to look at it as a separate story, but you're right-- there's more to the story according to Morrison.

TV Little House Comics Yeah, Hopefully you do a Back Issues on DC One Million!

+NerdPro that makes no fucking sense whatsoever

Chris Hall well, that's Grant Morrison for you......

I thought Superman one million was just the Superman of that time period and that the Superman that lived in the sun and returned golden was refered to as Superman prime.

+Tony Fulgoni lol Thank you for this, Tony

ComicPOP​ hah no problem

Also, I've always had that theory about Superman being a plant. Always thought it would be cool if Lex Luthor brought in Pamela Isely to help him better understand a living plant-person and how to hinder his photosynthesis.

Maybe not "survive", but certainly be "super".

Thank you, Yugi!

I agree!

Aww, you're awesome! Thanks for watching!

Nice vid

Oh awesome! We tackled Birthright too!

TV Little House Comics lol watching it right now bros :D

I do love that hat...

Art imitates life ;)

What other stories establish that

What about Birthright? o-o

Thanks John! That rocks! I'd love to do a podcast version, and we might try that out in 2015!

You mean this? screenrant.com/dc-rebirth-lex-luthor-new-superman/

why, AXIS has been pretty good, did you read issue #7 with the Magneto reveal? that was eye opening!

I think so! I really enjoyed it. They changed the ending, ever so slightly.

oh ok, thanks for respond so quickly jajajaja

Yeah no, we know. But it's narratively unsatisfying.

@@comicpop Wow. So cool of you guys to reply so fast. I am gonna subscribe to your channel just for that. Personally, i find the other idea more satisfying. It gives the story a happy ending. Lending it a sort of fairytale like quality. A love story spanning across millennia. You know what i mean. In general, i am not a fan of happy endings. I loved that when i was younger. But when i grew up and saw different stories i could catch the lie in such stories. A happy ending is but a story stopped at the right time. I still have a soft spot for that. But i prefer more pragmatic endings nowadays. But wouldn't it be great if i get one happy ending which in true sense is a happy ending? The truth is even if people in love are united and don't separate, death separates them in the end. There are no happily ever afters. But you can make Superman immortal. Revive Lois by some comic book pseudo-science. And make them both sort of New Gods in a far flung future. That's the ending of the sorta sequel DC One Million. I understand why some people wouldn't like this. All Star Superman however stands on its own. Its possible to ignore stories like One Million. Those are hints or clues for longtime fans. However, i have to say its the first time i have heard that Lois is imagining Superman working in the sun. When i have discussions with others there is a difference in opinion about One Million being a sequel or not. Some people prefer All Star for showing Superman working in sun. Lending strength to Superman being a working class superhero. Some like me prefer what is in One Million, where he leaves planet Earth after everyone he had known has passed away. He goes to the edge of universe and returns from that as a sort of 'enlightened' figure who helps bring peace to Earth once again and takes residence in his solar fortress of solitude. So, even if i take One Million to be a sequel it does not add up. To write an evergreen Superman story Morrison left things, so as to you choose your ending.

High five!

Hm. I wouldn't even know where to start, honestly. If we ever got Mignola or Perlman to come by, though...
