It's funny too because I had worked pretty hard to get that sort of thing out of my system. It is why I walked away from the Superman books and DC in general for about nine months because I didn't like being angry all of the time. I realized yesterday that my main problem wasn't so much that someone was doing a parody of Superman it was the person doing the parody. Max Landis strikes me as the quintessential hipster and over the past year or so I have come to hate hipsters as a species.
So yeah. Much calmer now.
