Superman! Just his name is enough to send some people into
conniptions. He stands as one of the most divisive fictional characters we have. People tend to view him as the ultimate expression of the “super-hero”,
which for some is a good thing and for some is bad. His detractors tend to allow that he’s
important historically, but they can’t seem to ever be a fan of him. Amongst their
complaints are that “he’s boring” or, “he’s too good” or, “what’s with all
the powers”, etc. etc. I myself was one of these people. I flocked to
characters like Batman, Spider-Man, or the Fantastic four but Superman and I
just couldn’t get on the same page. However, as I’ve grown older, I have grown to
love the character and everything he represents. Today I hope to present to you
why if you are a Superman hater, you should change your ways and if already
like him, to help you relive why you do. So without further ado, I present to
you: IN DEFENSE OF SUPERMAN!
