Comparing god to a Narcissist.

[DeistPaladin]

I dislike Straczynski as writer for his awful comic book writing. We have him to thank for that stupid Superman walking across America crap.

Couldn't tell you much about that, since I don't read comics much at all. I don't know that much of anything can be done with Superman as a character. He's pretty two-dimensional and his powers are badly defined with no limitations or vulnerability aside from an element you have to get from his destroyed home planet, and how many times can you believably dip into that well as a story teller?

I give the character some credit since he blazed the trail as the archetype for a new concept, the costumed superhero. He should have been considered a prototype and left on the shelf once better models were made. That his story has been retold and remade over and over is the tale-telling analog of beating a dead horse. I don't know that there's any good direction you CAN go with it.

The recent versions I've seen that pander to the fundy-Christian crowd are probably the best route to take, since they most appreciate a flimsy story with simplistic characters and a plot that's easy on the brain cells.
