    Superman Review

    • Superman was only actually beaten up once by ultraman a complete copy of Superman powers and all being completely controlled by lex Luther, and he only actually lost to him once in the very beginning.
    • If you actually go to the movies just to see the hero beat the villain with no consequences and come out unscathed than your just a boring person
    • Robots have been in the fortress of solitude since the 60s taking care of Superman if ever needed and they literally say in the beginning of the movie that ultraman was the first person to ever beat Superman in his 3 years of being a hero
    • Krypto the superdog has been in the comics since DC comics adventure comics issue #210 which was released march 1955
    • Krypto has been in 7 feature films, 9+ TV shows, and several cameos/shorts
    • The only other person to put Superman in a bit of trouble was an army of flying soldiers who got him close to being eaten by a black hole just by pretty much going limp and dragging him down, this was only because he was in a different dimension where the sun didn’t exist and if anyone actually knows Superman knows that he gets his power from the sun so that means no sun, no Superman
    • Lex Luther has always been crazy and he’s also the one who pretty much started the war just because he wanted to have a reason to kill Superman, do you really want lex to be boring and just try to kill him? He is supposed to be one of the smartest men alive, I would be disappointed he didn’t have a multi layered scheme
    • The only thing Mr terrific and Lois actually do is show Superman where the exit is the only actual physical combat Mr terrific did was punch a bunch of goons outside the portal
    • Lois and the others in the space ship didn’t actually do a single thing to help in the moment they literally just watched the fight while writing an article about lex being a bad guy
    • Superman’s “hero friends” didn’t really help him that much like green lantern and hawkgirl helped stop the war in the Middle East while Superman was dealing with the world cracking open in metropolis
    • The dog literally just ate a bunch of cameras that lex was using to pretty much control the evil Superman that’s all he actually did
    • How was Lois a bigger hero she literally just wrote a paper about lex which jimmy olsen actually wrote more of honestly, so if he wants to say that Lois was a bigger hero than you can pretty much
