Mom Defends Superhero Child In Raising Dion

[Lightknight]

At first I was thinking that this was going to be more trite "Mothers are the hardest workers ever" propaganda. But then I saw the trailer and I'm totally going to see this film. I may even wear pants for it.

You can be pantsless a while yet; they're making a comic book, not a movie. Though that trailer did look good enough for a film project.

OT: I you're going to give Dion a role model, Mr. Filmographer, pick Superman instead of Batman. Heck, put All-Star Superman on a loop and hope that it sinks in.

Oh... I do like comics but I wouldn't read a recurring series on this unless it was superb. Seems like it'd be far more popular as a movie.

But hey, it's a new angle on the trope so they should have a lot of content to work with. People have tried to dabble with it in Superman but it's really hard to do it justice when you have full knowledge of where things will end up and have to make him somewhat of a paragon starting out.

I don't see why, I mean it's not like they haven't done a million "What If" stories with all the flagship superheroes. Every kind of variation can/has been done, so saying that you "have" to end up with Superman being Superman at the end of a variation origin seems wrong. It's never stopped them in the past. xD

Generally speaking, DC wants to maintain paragon status of its heroes with the exception of Batman who they seem to have no issue allowing to dip into darkness. The most success they've had is in exposing hypocrisy of the characters rather than changing their motivations to be less than admirable.

My favorite was actually a Batman variant, called Batman: Holy Terror. Where America was a full fledge theocracy. What ends up happening with Superman in that is fairly interesting.

Red Son was also interesting.
