Wait...did the Green Lantern call Superman Clark right in the middle of the Hall Of Justice? For one thing, I didn't know all the superheroes knew his secret identity. And even if they did, that's not a habit you want to get into. What if you slip in the middle of a battle, or that was the day that Skippy the New Guy joined the League?
You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.
hey remember when superman defeated everyone and made all other heroes irrelevant
remember when that happened
Not to get too into comic BS but the only realistic reason Superman hasn't done this is because 'the writers don't want it to'.
Which is fine, but don't pretend it isn't because his stated powers don't allow him to.
Not really. Clark isn't the super-God he was back in the day. His powers got toned down a lot in the 80s, and have stayed that way. He's still one of the most powerful DC heroes, but he's far from invincible or unstoppable.

Not to mention if anyone should be making people irrelevant, it should be the Martian Manhunter. He basically has all of Superman's powers, plus invisibility, telepathy, density control, and shapeshifting. And he used to be a detective in his spare time. The only drawback (aside from writer's constantly having him job) is that his weakness is more common than Superman's.

I'm of course referring to Oreos.

This comic is based on Tycho's experience reading All-Star Superman,
The "into the sun" thing reminds me of the animated Superman vs. Doomsday. Throughout their fight, I kept yelling at Superman to just pick up Doomsday and throw him into the sun.
When Superman bear-hugged him and flew into orbit, I was like "Well fucking finally. You only decided to take him off the planet AFTER billions of dollars of damage have been done to the city, not to mention the deaths of the people that were likely in and around those buildings that got hit".
Then he reversed course and began to dive to Earth. "What the FUCK are you doing? Why are you so stupid!"
Hits the earth, making a big ass crater in the MIDDLE of Metropolis, then "dies".
What happens when a homeless person shows up at the Hall of Justice? Does the receptionist call the cops while the superheroes in the background awkwardly pretend not to notice?

If he had a Kryptonite GPS locator then the Council of Doom would be really fucked.
Assuming he could figure out a way to fling it all into the sun safely.
It's well established that Superman's invulnerability doesn't stand up to magical attacks, too. A magical sword cuts him just as easily as a normal human.
Yeah, he can wear out, eventually. Based solely on the intro movie, part of the premise of DCUO is that the villains won the "final battle" because Supes had to take a recharge break. (well, that and GL couldn't beat Adam, Flash suddenly got slow, Wonder Woman lost her lasso, Batmobile lost a wheel, etc, etc)
Aside from magic and kryptonite, there's also the simple fact that someone powerful enough can just straight-up hit him. A punch from Mongul or Wonder Woman or Doomsday or Martian Manhunter is something he's gonna feel.
Okay, weighing in late here, but am I the only one who was really thrown by this bit?
They could have gone free at the same time, and maybe they should have, but hey - baby steps. Let’s all pretend to be real surprised next year.
They could have "gone free"? How does Tycho think companies stay in business? I understand that pricing downloads is a complicated issue, but not pricing them is a much simpler one. The benefit (some people possibly thinking well of DC for a while) would be nothing compared to the loss (nobody going to the comic store anymore).
There's room for debate, sure. What gets me is how the newspost acts like there isn't. From guys who are worried about the harm used-game sales may be doing to their industry, it seems uncharacteristically callous to scorn DC for not giving enough stuff away.

it isn't exactly canon

Oh well, DC already received my hate mail

Except Superman.

Flash is faster. At least when speaking of the modern characters.

That's a really weird thing to take away from ASS, especially since this happens:

he has to be indoors from several days to several months, depending on who's writing about that particular weakness
So the keys to defeating Superman are kryptonite and World of Warcraft.
Superman bulletproof? NUHUU, because KRYPTONITE bullets!
just tie him up with some kryptonite rope, kryptonite handcuffs, and drop him in a pool of liquid kryptonite!
ha
Kevin Spacey would have killed Superman for good if he and his goons just kept him on the magic landmass cutting him with kryptonite shards.
I didn't think so !
I have opinions that are both fake and misinformed and I refuse to keep them to myself.
