Heres the problem. He's mixing imagery, characters for a storyline that doesn't fit. like, some of the usual suspects are complaining about Superman sitting around, looking tired, bored, and not leaping to action. and the dark drab coloring. also wrong S.

the pose, etc is clearly referencing All star superman. The entire origin of that story was Grant seeing a tired construction worker taking a break.


The monster in the sky is clearly Solaris the Tyrant sun. from.. all star superman, and DC one million. (all star is a prequel to dc one million)

All Star Superman is the best Superman story of all time. its top 5 comic book stories all time in general.
This storyline and imagery do not mesh with Whats so funny. stealing these foes, and imagery for that inferiot story is stupid, and mixes themes/metaphors.
this is the same problem with the wrong S. thats the Kingdom come S with yellow instead of black. Iconography matters.


Seriously, read all star superman.

This problem is going to be compounded.

"whats so funny with truth, justice, and the American way" didn't understand The Authority in the first place. it didn't tell its story well either. Superman beats the Elite with might makes right, not with his actual values anyway...

To make things worse, they merged Wildstorm and DC. so now, suddenly the Elite and The Authority both exist. The Authority's characters all get rewritten to fit into DC proper, which ruins them all. This stupid movie is now merging and rewriting them even more. totally shitting on everything that makes those characters who they are.

Wait.. was "whats so funny" actually confirmed. theres no casting for the elite?


ARE they doing all star superman?

Leo Quintium and his associates could easily be replaced with Mr. Terrific, and the Engineer. While Hawkgirl, guy, and metamorpho aren't specifically part of the story, its not like they couldn't fit in someplace.
