10 Reasons Why New 52 Superman Sucks.

It's been 2 years since DC's New 52 reboot. Since then, the publisher has had a number of very public creator disputes and have failed to maintain market share. There's so much wrong with the New 52 from a story standpoint... but the best place to start is the terribly rebooted version of the once greatest superhero, Superman.

Jeans and a T-Shirt.

This does not make him relatable, it makes him look like a tool.

Ma and Pa Kent are dead...

Why? To make him an angry orphan. The whole point of (at least) Ma Kent being alive is to keep Superman grounded and connected to humanity.

He wears armor...

First, why does Superman need armor? Second, why is it a rip-off of Iron Man's bleeding edge armor? Third, WHY DOES SUPERMAN NEED ARMOR?

He's a dickish version of Batman...

This is just... stupid.

He's borderline depressed...

Superman is supposed to rise above... not wallow in self-pity.

Superman and Lois Lane are just "friends"

This is the original sin of DC's New 52. Destroying the basis of ever superhero romance in existence. Again, super-powered alien's humanity is highlighted by his love for a mere human being... why we all strive to BE like Superman.

He's a complete jerk...

He's basically saying, "I'm a bully and you're about to die, because I can see your inside."

He shows zero restraint... because DC thinks "anti-heroes are cool"

Superman is supposed to show restraint... even for Parademons.

Clark Kent is a blogger...

No one read all that text. Basically, Clark Kent quits the Daily Planet and becomes a blogger. He goes from being an intrepid reporter to a complete Internet troll in one universe-altering moment.

Wonder Woman...

Superman's relationship with Wonder Woman is pointless and takes away major character points for each character, there is no need for them to have any connection to humanity if they are doing the super-dirty.

Thanks DC...

Why would anyone ever want to be like New 52 Superman? He's THE WORST.
