How can Superman be made relevant in the current day?

>>150834690 (OP)
Should he be revelant? I like him being old-school americana thing

Bomb Iran.

>>150834690 (OP)
You make him punk rock

>>150834759
Yeah, but even if he is old-fashioned he's still got to be relevant.

Let him be Superman, fighting a neverending battle for true, justice and the American way. He's a timeless hero. He doesn't need a current interpretation. He doesn't Gunn, Bendis or any other hack trying to trying to make him relevant. He's always relevant because we always need heroes.

>the American way
lol, not anymore. Nowadays he answers to the fucking UN, of all things.

>>150835039
>the American way

So corruption and erosion of democracy?

Have him deport some illegals and fight child trafficking

>>150835218
He's trafficking a child in the OP tho

>>150834690 (OP)
You let him being Superman. The more you try to reinvent him and to make him le relevant, the more he falls on the side. Look at Returns, look at new52, look at snydershit....

>>150835772
>snydershit
Snyder did it right and you know it.

>>150834690 (OP)
Just make him a shonen protagonist

>>150835218
>Have him deport some illegals
Himself?

>>150836619
He's kind of a hedge case. I mean, where are you even gonna deport him *to*?

>>150836611
Meaning?

>>150837402

>>150838517
But he's not microscopic.

>>150838985
Atom can help him with that

>>150834690 (OP)
He can't, he doesn't need to be, and he honestly shouldn't. Let him die.

>>150835179
Superman did that since the early 60's when he renounced his American citizenship

>>150838927
He defeated his villains though. AND fully redeemed some of them too.

>>150834690 (OP)
Sometimes I wonder if this is my mspaint edit from 16 years ago or someone had the exact same idea.

>>150839402
He failed to defeat or redeem Dio

>>150840144
>all these villains he defeated or redeemed don't count because there's ONE he failed to defeat
How many villains has Superman permanely defeated or redeemed, I wonder?

>>150834690 (OP)
Bring back Lori Lemaris, his telepathic mermaid girlfriend, the one girl he ever truly loved. She isn't specifically telepathic, all mermaids back then were telepathic to explain how they talk underwater
I think she was brought back semi-recently but uh

>>150838927
I like 'em both

>>150840592
>Bring back Lori Lemaris,
She was LITERALLY just in Aquaman

>>150840657
That's I added the spoilered section because I remembered "oh shit, she is back isn't she?".

>>150840719
Is this real?

>>150840834
Yes, in the manga Joseph reads Superman, but in the anime they changed it to Baoh (another manga by Araki), he also canonically collects american comics.

APOLOGIZE TO JOHN BYRNE!

>superman if he cool

>>150834886
