The Most Beautiful Superman Comic 

This is Superman, what Snyder never understood or just refused to see. He's the best of humanity and he challenges them to be what he sees in them because as this comic so beautifully shows he loves humanity and is proud no matter how many mistakes are made.

Any director that calls Superman boring should NOT be making a Superman movie.

"Clark is the hero. Superman is just a symbol." Good lad -- you GET it. "He isn't dark. He isn't edgy. He's the embodiment of hope." You get it 100%. Great video, magnificent insight.

There is an early Superman comic where he helps a down and out boxer to regain his title. No supervillain or big stakes, but just a story about kindness. This is what we need more of.

Superman *should* feel like a bit of a dork, a little bit cheesy, because he's just so damn sincere, that in a pop culture overflowing with edgy, subversive content, he's just some nice old school wholesomeness. And sometimes that is a bit cheesy and a bit dorky. But it still makes you smile.

"Images that go hard." *Superman saying **_I Love You_** to Earth.*

If only spiderman could be this wholesome. The modern comics are brutal

"There's a SSTAAAAAARRRRRR MMMAAAAAAANNNN waiting in the sun."

That single panel where Clark says "I love you" to a world that we fail to love as much as we should is beyond amazing. If I had to choose a single panel that represent Superman as a symbol of hope and kindness, that would be it.

I used to be bored with Superman but like… there’s something special about him and I think we’re seeing a resurgence of the best of his character

Man, I didn't even know this comic existed. Gotta hard agree that it's a breath of fresh air. As much as I love the grey area and gritty, it warms the heart to see a superman comic with a true superman. Down to earth, loving, caring, and always trying to help.

I always found the best Superman stories aren't the ones that is fulled with action, but the ones that shows Clark's humanity

I love the bit in which Clark Kent verbally disarms the robber. More specifically, the cashier telling him even though he isn't Superman, he'll always be her Superman. It made me laugh and well up at the same time.

You know I'm really glad I've been seeing a recent resurgence of interest in Superman. I think it partially maybe because we're just exposed to so much bad news nowadays. Climate change, poverty, war, and just the overall knowledge that so many of our politicians and leaders are failing us really bums people out. It's so easy to just give up hope and become a doomer. But Superman reminds us that even he can't solve every problem or save everyone, but he always tries his best because he knows that if we all give up on fighting for truth, justice, and the good in people, nothing will get better for certain. And if we all could be like Superman in terms of morals and acting upon those morals, the world would be so much better. That's why his character is timeless and one we should all try to emulate.

Powers or not, He’s just a guy trying to do the right thing

Thats what we need ina movie superman at his core isn't some god level alien, hes a kid from kansas. He's compassionate, hopeful, sees the best in people when nobody else does, he strives to be his best and knows rhat everyone else can be their best too. Hes the comic equivalent of Mr. Rogers

The beauty of these short stories is that they remind us that true strength comes from empathy, humanity, and love. When I read Super-Sons, it made me so happy to see how lovely and polite Jon was. Superman, Clark, is an awesome superhero and will always be because of his golden heart.

That "youre special" from pa kent made me cry smuch, not just because of the raw love showed but because it reminds me so much of my loving dad who passed away 2022, that love and care is something i still miss to this day, wonderful video truly Rip dad, you were always my superman

Daniel warren johnson gives a lot of heart to his stories. This man had me tear up reading transformers.

I know this video is from nine months ago, but I'm glad we're getting a resurgence in appreciation for the _real_ Superman

For me, the thing that makes supes and batmans friendship interesting is the fact that, Batman feels Bruce Wayne as his mask, while Batman is his true self, and on the other hand, Clark is just clark. Being superman for him is a way for him to help people, a way for Clark Kent to help people. 2 total opposites that in my eyes really compliment each other, which makes their friendship made sense

This made me tear up a little bit. You beautifully encapsulated everything I love, not only about Superman, but what originally made comics so near and dear to my heart to begin with. Thank you for this video, you managed to reaffirm something that I have felt that has been missing (mostly thanks to the industry being coopted by preachy mouthbreathers who detest the very work they're creating) from comics and the "fans" (its been harder and harder to find people who are legitimately fans of the books and not as a consequence of the movies) who now utilise the medium as a vitriolic platform for belittling and beleaguering anyone and anything that doesn't perfectly fit into the pidgeonhole of whatever checklist of personal beliefs they've had uploaded to their hive mind that day. So thank you for showing me that true love for the media that has given me so much enjoyment and escapism from my personal woes still exists. I wish you all the best for the future, not just with your channel, but in every aspect of your life. May it be full of possibilities and happiness. With love.

This is the only man to make batman happy

Why did I only hear you review the comic and watch the panels, but when Supes say 'I love you' with the Earth my heart still, in a moment, emotional

A video telling that the snyder version is a bad superman while the movie theme glorifies superman, i also think the snyder version could be a lot better but Zimmer's work in those movies is so good that im scared the next superman theme wont be enough

What everyone totally skips out on is the friend part of Superman. Every comic I see of Superman helping innocent people they never nail the friend aspect of him. This comic is simply beautiful when I read it.

Zack Snyder ruined how we all viewed Superman those who actually know about Superman know that he is the greatest superhero ever not because of his powers but because of his heart he's the most pure of heart superhero he's such a kind and caring guy Superman's greatest power isn't the ability to fly or see through walls it's his kindness Superman can save the day without even using his powers just by listening and caring enough to give someone a little light when they need it the most I wish the movies understood that

Superman is like "It's not about the powers, but rather what you do with them"

this comic is the embodiment of the starman edits of superman

I may need to track down this book. Also, I've heard Gunn's Superman movie will take heavy inspiration from All-Star Superman, which is another great book that i love.

It’s even better when you realise the comic is dedicated to the writers dad

Thank you, Anwar, so VERY MUCH for making this video! This is the Superman that I grew up. When I was little, every Friday my mom used to take me and my sister to buy one comic book for each of us.

The music at the end was supposed to fit better but the initial video got copyrighted so I just reused the masterpiece of a soundtrack by Hans Zimmer because yeah… perfection.

Brother you nailed it. No one gets Supes anymore. This is exactly it. I teared up at the vid bro you did such a good job

That is a beautiful story indeed. And I’m glad someone else loves it as I do. That said, there’s no need to put what Snyder did, down. Snyder’s Superman was not dark or edgy. His WORLD was dark and edgy much like ours. And Clark is faced with very tough choices in those movies. Yet at his core, Snyder’s Superman is hopeful, kind, heroic. He looks for guidance, from his father, from his mother, from Lois, from a priest. Even when he meets Batman, he tries to talk things out with him first. it’s a Superman at his beginnings. He struggles, loses his father and keeps trying to do the right thing. Even the possible Apokolips on Earth Superman is a Superman that was pushed to the edge. Zod pushed him to the edge as well. Was everything that Snyder did perfect? No. He made the same Superman we all know but in a realistic setting. I’m sick and tired of people putting Snyder down when I saw with my own eyes that he loved Superman and had a path, a journey for him but you all wanted a realized Superman from the get go.

I’m glad the people have been finally understanding what makes Superman great.

3:03 …goddamn that’s.. HOO Don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry…

People forget Superman is a super man. He is a man just like all of us, he is the best of us

I saw this exact panel in a starman edit video. And I was just dumbfounded. This is the reason why I love supes and want to be more like him.

He’s a super man. What any man with sense might aspire to be.

I too thought Superman was boring. Then I read All-Star Superman. It was a good read, then I got to the Regan Scene. I still cry every time I get to that page or bring it up. It finally got me to understand and respect Superman.

I think that is why I love the Lois and Clark show, so much. It shows a Superman very much like this Superman. "Superman is what i can, Clark is who I am."

You pointed to the three scenes I had the most problems with, and I glad to not be only one left to see and believe this. Thank you.

I am hopeful that Superman Legacy will show us why Superman is the symbol of hope and James Gunn seems to understand Superman's role as a whole in the whole DCU.

I need the music put in this video in a playlist cause this is so fitting

Beautiful work, truly. Thank you Awda, for your contribution to keeping the spirit of Superman shining on even in a world increasingly consumed by cynicism, continuing to remember and remind others of the eternal value of sincerity and compassion. It is people like you, continuing to hold those values, and above all, hope, in their hearts, that reassures me and reminds me there is ALWAYS hope for humanity's tomorrow. Thank you Awda; all the best to you.

I saw the same panel yesterday in a Starman-Superman edit Ave I was astounded by it too. I had the same viewpoint about it that you started at the start of the video but now I wanna be just like him.

I’m glad you were able to break through the cynicism surrounding Superman and see him for what he truly is. That’s a hard thing for many to do.

You've sold me on it. I'm putting the conic on my wishlist

Oh god, my physical copy of this issue is one of my most prized possesions. All short stories were so good but of course, Generations is just so special.

hes a starman waiting in the sky

I could not watch this without tearing up.

Oh man seeing those panels of Superman made me cry 🥺

The best video about Superman I've ever seen, because you truly understand the character and explain it so beautifully. Thank you, and long live the man of tomorrow!

what superman represents is beautiful. when that is used to cause an emotional response like this wonderful comic has you know you have written him right.

I’m a sucker for stories like this.

That's what I never liked about the media's portrayal, emphasizing his strength over his character and caring guardian personality. Superman's not out for collateral damage but to go through every step imaginable to avoid conflict and maintain the planet for which he holds dear. He's not just Superman but a super citizen that's looking out for his neighbors by and large

I always thought Allstar was the best depiction of him. The confrontation with Lex at the end is perfect, it sums up why they're perfect foils of each other. They're both people with gifts that mark them a super in some respect. But Lex is so caught up in his own superiority and need to prove that to the rest of the world, that he couldn't get out of his own way long enough to do anything that mattered. Whereas Kal see's the value in everything and commits himself to the service of others, because that's what matters.

I am extremely hopeful that James Gunn will give us possibly the best take on Superman as Gunn has proven to have a deep love of this character since childhood and has expressed how much the character means to him and how this film essentially will be about the true power of empathy and compassion in an otherwise uncaring, cynical world, which is everything Ive always wanted in a Superman movie

On that 90s Superman show Lois And Clark, he once said to Lois, who I think just found out Clark was Superman, that "Clark Kent is who I am, Superman is what I can do."

One of the best YT vids around about Supe. You nailed it! Congrats!

I've been working on a novel I'm writing for fun for over two years. This video? Super helpful in helping me write my heroes. Thanks for the inspiration.

The most beautiful interpretation of superman. a true starman

Superman started as an overpowered superhero intended to fulfill the fantasies of kids with his strength, but also teach them a moral lesson. However, we can chisel out that initial intent a bit more just by hammering down this simple fact: "Superman is the personification of the best of humanity." And, really, his powers are just there to allow the guy to do everything he can, to maximize his potential to do good. They are a catalyst to the underlying intentions of an honest, caring man. The best of humanity isn't found in the grandiose, in the creation of great monuments or the making of historical feats. The best of humanity is found in those little moments: a sincere conversation with a friend about something troubling them, a pat on the back and a heartfelt "you're doing good" from your boss, a couple laughing at something only the two of them know, a mother kissing an injury on her child's knee, a father telling their kid how proud they are of them... Superman is as big as his heart, not his powers. Even in the face of absolute adversity, even when there seemingly is nothing to hold on, he should be the light that shines through. Not because of his strength, his speed or his prowess, but because of his immutable love for life.

Great video. Similar vibe to Superman: For All Seasons. Another great introspection into the character.

I am Superman-Fan since over 40 years! I love him like a brother!❤

I AM A GROWN MAN I WON’T CRY TO A SUPERMAN COMIC I WILL NOT

So glad somebody else gets it. Superman tackles pretty much everything and is considered overpowered - but his level of antagonists is damn-near cosmic level in strength/power or have abilities that can change the world as we know it. That's the conflict part of it. Superman isn't just the "super." He's more the "man" than he's accredited. It's his heart and compassion that makes Kal-El one of my favourite heroes for the past 50+ years. As for killing Zod? He did that in the comics, too. It's the why he did it and what it did to him, afterwards that counts. He may have a "no killing" rule, but he learned a hard lesson that there are times when you need to do things you are against if the innocent are going to survive. War taught me that part. I can only strive to be half the man this fictional character is written, but I think it's a good standard to uphold. >steps off of the soapbox

There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it 'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie

This video and superman story alike are beautiful

This is the superman we need more of, especially in this day and age where people have seemingly lost hope. kindness, and empathy in these extremely turbulent times. It's an absolute shame how they've been treating superman comics in recent years and they could have fixed this through Jon but they didn't. I just hope more stories, more characters end up being inspired by THIS superman and not the dark and gritty superman that's been shoved down our throats for the last 10 years.

It's always the channels with less than 1k subs that make the most beautiful videos.

there is a star man waiting in the sky

For someone who can fly across the universe in less in a second, superman is very down to earth, I like that, he represents what we all should be, good honest and kind individuals who will help, even the smallest act of kindness is enough to change the world for better

I've realized that Clark is very clumsy because, as Clark, the world to him is like a wet paper bag due to his strength. He always has to be extra careful not to break anything or hurt anyone because of that! As Superman, there is no reason to hide his powers, of course, so he is able to use his strength freely.

I love you all!

Yes. And as amazing as "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" is, that is the origin of modern edgy Superman. Alan Moore decided that Superman's deepest desire is not to protect Earth and make people smile and be with Lois, it's to be on Krypton with no responsibilities

this is so beautiful, very smallville-esque

No matter the problem, how big or small this is a job for superman.

Honestly I completely agree with you but although I do think there are some positive aspect’s to snyder’s version. We are most used to a fantasy pitch perfect world for superman but in his movie it was a lot more realistic and with him being the only person able to stop Zod and after begging him to stop he had to kill him to save a family, and I felt its him having to make the tough choices, yet I still felt this version came out as a symbol and light of hope.

THERES A STAR MANNNN 🗣

I’m very sick and in pain right now, and this made me cry.

Dude! You're so underrated! You just earned a sub.

Not a fan of the Snyder-verse Superman. But what you showed here is the Superman of my childhood just being good because it's the right thing to do. Choked me up as well. Thank you.

I mean I agree that this look is cool too, but I dunno man, comics have always been about showing different versions of characters. Snyder had his vision and I thank him for exploring it. I am super excited to see this other perspective on screen, but i dont think the analysis should always about "this other bad, this one good". But good vid man, might take a look at the comic if I have the opportunity

Beautiful. I'm gonna read this. That supermarket thing sold me.

I teared up listening to your video and watching the panels. It’s just so beautiful and touching ❤️❤️

Thank you for this video! I now have an idea for a Superman film imma write

It always warms my heart to see people reject Synder’s garbage version of this beautiful character!🥹

I heard this somewhere else, but it's actually thematically appropriate that Superman is usually the one who ends up beating Darkseid in the end. Not necessarily because he's the strongest, but because there's just something special about the abstract concept of evil being beaten by the good in all of us. Because Superman *is* goodness. He's the type of person who would save a kitten from a tree, answer Christmas cards from strangers, and save the world all in a single afternoon. Not because he's strong enough or fast enough, but because he's compassionate enough. That is Superman. That is Clark Kent.

A great video. Here's to great Superman stories.

Ah see yu lookin at Jamaica and saying, "I love you", SuperMon ! Rispeck an' Love, Super !👊👊

This is the best video essay on Superman I've seen. You get it, kid.

Thank you for this video. You made me tear up a bit man❤

Beautiful video man. I for the longest time saw Superman as someone who was great but not as deep as characters like Batman or Spider-Man. Now I know that not only is he a very deep character. But probably one of the most important for all of us to recognize in our lifetime.

Thank you for this. I needed that! ❤

Henry Cavil deserved a better script. Lets be real here.

I bought this book for that story alone

Superman is the greatest

Thanks for spreading the word about this comic. Couldn't agree more!
