Possibly Frank Miller forgot alot of stuff from All-Star Batman & Robin's story when writing Superman: Year One because Miller finished All-Star Batman & Robin 14 years ago and he's done a shit load of writing since then
You know while I would complain about the sliding scale of superpowers, the more I think about it the more it's the tittle and the hype. Every super hero is supposed to be the best except when fighting Batman or Superman mostly Batman

He used to be good at it. “Martha Washington Goes to War” and “Ronin” had great female characters. People often forget his Elektra and Catwoman as well. He just kinda went off the deep end over the years.
@@Aaron-zt5ee “Off the deep end ?” Frank is swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, far away from any shore. Well Frank Miller now has his own comic company, with Dan Didio as Editor in chief. What can possibly go wrong ?
@@Aaron-zt5eejust to add to your point not only did he write elektra well he also created the character. (I am sure you knew this) Also he wrote the first female robin in “the dark knight returns”. He has said he has tried to write more female super heroes and give them unique personalities. People can criticize a lot of the aspects of his writing and certainly some of the criticism is true. But at least he has TRIED to include 3 dimensional women in his writing.

1:08:45 I think the Kraken idea was with it's merits. Having Clark battle this creature that would be giant and terrifying to an average person and him not hurting it because he knows it's just an animal is nice. Similar to the star eater in all star superman
I think what bums me out the most about this book is that there are seeds of good ideas sprinkled throughout it but Miller doesn't really capitalize on them

Thus would have been an interesting Aquaman story. but with Superman eh it's just kinda dumb. Like for really, this is sounds like "the time superman was aquaman"
Same! The Smallville thing with Lana and the gangs were fun to read. I agree, once he joined the military, I was interested but the whole visiting Atlantis and all that went kinda left.
Say wuuuuut!? I missed this comic news and thank god for that, I get it fresh from the Population and gang ‘‘Tis a truly thanksgiving indeed Happy holidays y’all
So I went look up Millers variant covers for the issues.....did he intend to draw them in some grotesque bizzarro form??? Love the show ComicPOP crew!!!
But how can we understand Superman without an extended sequence of Jor-el on Krypton that goes over him being the first natural birth in hundreds of years, and also the scene where his arch nemesis Zod is launched into space in a large phallus?
I won’t lie hearing how Clark and Lana met and grow close in this version I got SUPER invested in it and the little zoom in to see her note while he’s in the navy? UGH 😩💙 that’s so nice! Then they bring in Lori and do every party involved dirty 😡! I wanna see that relationship further and how it affects the SuperFam going forward. Even as a diehard Superman fan who’s always loved Lois as his wife, even mostly ok with 52’s Wonder Woman relationship too, but goddammit you wanna give me an Elseworld? Maybe even shake up whatever current continuity is prevalent for however many years? Gimme THAT little tweak in your premise and I’ll read the fuck out of it.
Lana is pretty much Superman’s Gwen Stacy. There is literally no Elseworld story where Clark and her end up together. At least Marvel did House of M that was short lived. Granted, I’m happy that Lana doesn’t die for the sole purpose of furthering a main character’s story, but in terms of the first romance tragedy, Lana is the DC’s Gwen Stacy. And I find it interesting that no one has pulled the trigger on the idea of making her the endgame instead of Lois. Even in this story alone, Lois doesn’t have a relationship with Clark, which makes me wonder why Lana wasn’t in this more. It would have been better to see their relationship continue all the way to the end. I want to know what happened to his relationship with Lana. And I hate that Frank never touches on how it ended in this version he wrote. Did she break up with him? Or did he break things off? Or are we literally to believe that they just never spoke, wrote, or saw each other again after he left Smallville?
@@tjjordan4207 ☝🏻 you get it. In a universe where Lois clearly isn’t the endgame, what’s so bad about sticking with Lana? Frank Miller as you said, doesn’t even clarify what happened with them. Just left it hanging and for what? To show his Clark Kent can sleep with any woman he wants because “he’s a god”…? Piss off. Why give a story about Superman to a writer who really gives less than .00000001 of a shit about him….? Then again we could apply that to anyone in his universe that isn’t Batman. Par for the course I guess.
@@MoostacheProductions The thing about Clark is that he's not a Chad, despite having the body of one. He doesn't sleep with just any woman because he was raised about as traditional as one could be in America. That's something I can see Bruce doing since he doesn't allow for a relationship to get anywhere close to being serious. And even if Miller wanted to stick more towards the status quo, why not focus more on Clark and Lana's relationship and give us a proper conclusion to it. Maybe we see them continue their relationship after his time in the military and they move to Metropolis to pursue their careers. Over time, Lana becomes homesick and wishes to return to Smallville, but Clark wants to stay in Metropolis to continue being Superman. Realizing that they want different things in life now, the two break up on good terms and she returns to Smallville. A sad conclusion but one that has closure and gives us something. My conclusion would be that they just stay together and the comic ends with him proposing to her.
I KNOW, RIGHT? Clark and Lana were so cute together, and the story was so good up until the EXACT halfway point in the series, where it suddenly goes right down the toilet. D:
He just got too big. Happened to Claremont too, though to a less noticeable degree, happened to Bendis after his Avengers run, happened to King halfway through his Batman run. For film, it happened to Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino. People get less hungry and desperate to prove themselves, they burn through a bunch of permutations of their ideas and get less creative and eventually become novelty's that occasionally surprise you. Franks not abnormal here, just a bit more obvious than most

I literally remember Lois being jealous of the mermaid in the older comics. I think she had like a dying partner or something. It was a craxy storylien
Let's face it, Frank Miller is the George Lucas of comics: Nobody's going to deny his contribution to the medium and once upon a time he was the best in his field, and somehow ended-up as one of the worst in his field.

Ha! Crazy i just picked up a couple Miller books today that were on sale then I get home and see this. Nice! I read most of this as it came out but very spread out. I really need to read it all at on
So let me get this straight. Millerverse Superman can absorb electricity? So why did Batman use the city's power supply of electricity to hurt Superman in TDKR? How does that make sense? Miller baby, that's why
What I like about this book is it a microcosm of Frank miller career: Chapter one: good premise grounded execution, Chapter 2: a little out there but uniquely miller still good, Chapter 3: bat shit insane and cynical

@@greyborg3846 Just a HG 1/144 Flauros, trying to round out the Tekkaden crew then moving onto 1/100 Bael! :)
well, I was touching up some details of my MG 00 Quanta while sipping coffee and watching this...
@@thomasarcanine haha awesome! I've yet to pick up a MG, any suggestions?
@@taylorchance4386 Nice! I really liked the Flauros. My most recent kits were the HG Lupus Rex and the HG Bael.

Am I wrong for saying that this made more sense than the Healing Coma?
Book One: Starts off surprisingly mature.
Me: hmm.
Book implies gang rape.
Me: THERE HE IS.
I love this story
So let me get this straight. Millerverse Superman can absorb electricity? So why did Batman use the city's power supply of electricity to hurt Superman in TDKR? How does that make sense? Miller baby, that's why
Clicked in a blink of an eye when saw Frank Miller in the title
I love this channel
What I like about this book is it a microcosm of Frank miller career: Chapter one: good premise grounded execution, Chapter 2: a little out there but uniquely miller still good, Chapter 3: bat shit insane and cynical
Good choice on the bullies part because as a wise Batman from another universe once said, "they're not going to find your body on Saturn"
I am thankful for this Back Issues
