Unfortunately Superman would kind of flounder around for the next few years with some inconsistent characterization, I think stemming from having both 90's writers and writers influenced by All-Star simultaneously.
Superman Returns came out, and despite being intended to lead-in to a Superman/Batman movie, ended up just being more of a "Superman the Motion Picture" wank movie, IMO.
With the turn of the decade, writer J. Michael Straczynski, at the same time that he was ruining Wonder Woman, was brought on to also ruin Superman with the infamously awful story Grounded.
>>91842199I actually like Brainiac and Johns' run in general and that was just bad wording. Lex Luthor: Man of Steel I think just got Lex totally wrong by making him a character who is afraid and jealous of Superman's powers, whereas I feel he's just disdainful of him and unable to comprehend the concept of selflessness. Luthor hates superheroes and thinks they're blowhards, and no one more exemplifies this than Superman to him.
Also I mistyped Chris as "Christ" in that post originally, in a hilarious Freudian slip.>>91842280>>91842291They're Bat-sticks made of Bat-wood.
