I am really looking forward to this movie, same time after finishing two seasons of Superman & Lois, it has a pretty high standard to live up to.
I really hope it does, because if it does, it is going to be a banger of a flick. Think I have my daughter and son-in-law talked into going to see it with us.

I do not care what you do not appreciate, since you have accused myself and others of speaking /posting as if their opinion represents all, yet you are here with your phantom "majority" lie / "real fans" posts. If you do not want to be properly identified as a hypocrite, try exercising some self control and avoid the frankly desperate need to speak for all Superman fans as if they are linked by a hive mind.
Another lie, as you attempted to label a number of non-Silver Age adaptations--the George Reeves show, the "Timmverse" animated series and---of all productions--Superman and Lois--as being part of or influenced by the Silver Age, when demonstrably, they are not. Again, your reference to it--as part of your "hates the Silver Age" noise fell on is face by one--using the Reeves series, which was not a product created during the Silver Age, and two--I cited the Kirk Alyn serials--which predate the Reeves show--as superior, which I see as the 2nd best Superman adaptation.
"Accessible" does not mean that quoted moviegoing demographic has even a whit of interest in the George Reeves series (or anything it inspires), and you've failed to provide evidence for your murky claim.
Superman is one of the most flexible of the mainstream superhero characters, hence the large number of adaptations which are dissimilar to others.As a result, there's no "majority" wanting to see a Silver Age-esque version of the character, since so many versions--from Smallville, the DCAU (or "Timmverse"), DCEU and Superman and Lois took their own path with the character.
That is the point.
Well put, and true. If a character is adapted in live action, there's immeasurable benefit when the character actually behaves like a real person and not a caricature of a stereotype of the comic book character.
Agreed.

Did you not read my post? I tried to explain how I got mixed up and things came across wrong, so again I never meant to say those shows were influenced by the Silver Age. I really do truly honestly and completely mean this. I do not, and have never intestinally lied on here, I have gotten mixed up and confused, but I truly absolutely swear that I never was intentionally contradicting myself or lying, I just either got my facts mixed up or screwed up my post so it came across wrong, or changed my mind since the other post and forgot what I said before. I also some learning disabilities and am possibly neurodivergent, so that might be part of why I don't always get my point across the way I intended or get things mixed up.
And I swear I'm not just making shit up or trying to make excuses, I'm just trying honestly explain why some of posts might come across the way they do.
We have our next batch of posters.
It looks like they're doing these by theme, the last one was the superheroes, this is the bad guys, so I'm assuming next we should get Lois and the rest of the Daily Planet team.

Except most of the things you listed definitely were. All-Star Superman was overtly intended as a tribute to the Silver Age and all its craziness. The Christopher Reeve movies, especially Superman III, have a Silver-Agey sensibility in a number of ways, and Superman II featured General Zod, a character who debuted in the Silver Age (1961, to be precise). Superman & Lois's second season revolved around Bizarro and the cube-shaped Bizarro Earth, which were very much staples of the Silver Age. Superman: TAS also drew on the Silver Age to an extent, with characters like Bizarro, Titano, and arguably Mr. Mxyzptlk (who originated in the Golden Age as Mr. Mxyztplk, but was prominent in the Silver with the more familiar spelling).
As for the George Reeves Adventures of Superman, it mostly predated the Silver Age (which is considered to have begun in late 1956 with the debut of the Barry Allen Flash), but its latter two seasons came out in 1957-8 and thus overlapped with the Silver Age. The show overall definitely shared a similar light sensibility, especially in its later seasons, and given its popularity, it was probably an influence on DC's Silver Age comics, if not the reverse.
The upcoming movie definitely gives me an All-Star vibe, with the unapologetic embrace of Silver-Agey things like Krypto, the Fortress robots, and a giant monster. They could do worse than to use All-Star's version of Luthor as a template, since that was an inspired take on the character.
They're definitely both bald white dudes, I'll give you that!

I know. I was doing a segue-ish sort of thing.
