The problem with Superman is that he is to Superman and not enough Clark. He would be more interesting if he looked more average, instead of like some kind of Greek Demigod. I mean he shouldn't be fat or out of shape, but with his super powers he never really gets a good work out. So he should be skinnier and a little shorter than say Batman or the Green Arrow who actually need to work out everyday to stay in crime fighting shape.
That would actually be kinda cool! I mean, back before he was powered by yellow sunlight, he was basically just a highly-evolved human being, more or less! If one were to just go back to that idea, of having the need to be beyond his physical peak, we could see him pumpin' iron all Superman-style! That montage from "The Incredibles" comes to mind in terms of imagery…
I think Supermen would never need to work out like Mr. Incredible did since his real skill is in control and using his superpowers. It must take an increadble amount of practice to restrain his superstreangth and not hurt someone by accident. Also Clark Kent looking like an average dude would make hiding his identity much easier.
No I said it would be better if he didn't look like he spent every evening working out. I like the idea of Superman being kind of skinny, snince thats how I picture Clark Kent and they need to bring that out more.
I'm confused, didn't you just say it would be better if he DID work out more?
