Will MAN OF STEEL Impact DC's SUPERMAN Comic Books? Scott Snyder And More Reveal All!

Scott Lobdell (Superman), Scott Snyder (Superman Unchained), Greg Pak (Batman/Superman) and Andy Diggle (Action Comics) all share their thoughts on the impact that Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan's Man of Steel movie will have on their comic books when it finally hits the big screen later this year.

To mark the release of Man of Steel this June, DC will be launching Superman Unchained from Scott Snyder and Batman/Superman from Greg Pak. Scott Lobdell will continue to pen Superman, while Andy Diggle will take over Action Comics from current scribe Grant Morrison next month. Talking to Comic Book Resources about their respective series', each of the writers was asked to share their thoughts on how they believe the movie will impact how they approach these comic books and whether the release of the reboot will affect readership for the comics.

Andy Diggle On Action Comics:

"I'm obviously hugely honored that they asked me to write "Action" at all, but I think I'm just very, very lucky to be stepping into to it to start a completely new run right before the movie is about to hit. I think my first issue comes out a month before the movie, or something like that. On one hand, it's very flattering; on the other hand, it's slightly terrifying because it puts it under a big spotlight. If I make any mistakes, I will be making them in public."


Greg Pak On Batman/Superman:

"The nice thing is that all of these books are at a place where anybody can jump in, which is a great place to be when a movie comes out. Hopefully, folks that are excited about the movie will step right and jump into the comics. They are thoroughly accessible and will give folks that are interested in Superman many different opportunities to find one they love."


Scott Lobdell On Superman:

"I can only speak for me, but I think all we know about the movie is what's in the trailer. [Laughs] Unless somebody has an inside scoop that I don't know about."


Scott Snyder On Superman Unchained:

"They really haven't given us any marching orders to steer clear of anything or to use anything. We've been left to our own devices, I think."

I think I found Gusto's character in The Sims. The resemblance is uncanny!

Malcopunch - 3/17/2013, 12:59 AM
I am so much hope for this movie..don't dissapoint me
GUNSMITH - 3/17/2013, 2:59 AM
I REALLY LIKE THE SUIT IN THE FILM..I RATHER SEE THAT IN THE COMICS THAN THE ARNORY LOOKING SUIT WITH THE DAMN COLLAR
Netman0007 - 3/17/2013, 3:30 AM
GOOD. Take some inspiration from the film and GIVE HIM THE DAMN SUIT THAT IS IN THE MOVIE IN THE COMICS!!

I HATE THAT ARMOR!! And that stupid, STUPID collar!!!

Would MUCH rather see the AWESOME MOVIE SUIT than that shitty NU52 redesign. If we can't have the classic Superman, at least give us the Man of Steel suit because it is [frick]ing beautiful.

I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE SUPERMAN COMICS UNTIL HE HAS EITHER THE MOS SUIT OR HIS ORIGINAL SUIT BACK!! [frick] THAT ARMOR!! THAT'S NOT SUPERMAN!!!
Netman0007 - 3/17/2013, 3:32 AM
I also HATE that DAMN BELT with the S-shield/diamond on it in the new 52 suit. HATE HATE HATE IT!!! Get rid of that damn red utility belt and collar and armor and either give him the MAN OF STEEL MOVIE SUIT (which is perfect) or the REAL Superman suit back!!! The new 52 suit is complete and total SHIT!
Netman0007 - 3/17/2013, 3:33 AM
MAKE SUPERMAN SUPERMAN AGAIN!!!
ACira - 3/17/2013, 4:05 AM
@Netman0007 you're really pissed that Superman's finally got the hang of wearing his underwear properly, aren't you? Love the MoS suit, but I think it needs a red belt (similar to the New 52 one but less bulky)... I still don't understand why he has a belt buckle on his suit with no belt (in MoS).
ACira - 3/17/2013, 4:08 AM
Still not sure why Superman's being 'Unchained' though. Didn't know he was chained in the first place. Should have just called it 'Man Of Steel' like they originally planned to. Or another name relevant to Superman at least: 'Last Son of Krypton', for example.

@ACira

Yeah, dude. Lot of pent up anger there towards that. It just all came out. Idk what came over me there, man. I've...I've been holding all that in since the NU52 started. Phew. That was medicinal.

....AND [frick] THAT RED BELT!!! I HATE IT!!! SUPERMAN'S BELT IS YELLOW, GODDAMMIT!!! AND IT IS NOT BULKY WITH COMPARTMENTS ON IT!!! FUUUCK!!! THAT BELT AND ESPECIALLY THE BUCKLE IS ONE OF THE WORST DESIGNS I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A COSTUME IN MY LIFE AND IT THROWS THE ALREADY SHITTY SUIT OFF COMPLETELY!!!!

STOP INSULTING SUPERMAN WITH YOUR GODDAMN JIM LEE BULLSHIT!!! POCKETS N POUCHES AN ARMOR N POUCHES N COLLARS!! FUUCK!! I HATE IT!!!
Netman0007 - 3/17/2013, 8:36 AM
I HATE THOSE MICHELIN TIRE MAN LOOKING BOOTS!!! AND THE LITTLE "S" DIAMOND ON THE SHOULDERS!!!

You guys got no idea....I can't even....I can't even LOOOOK at that [frick]ING thing for more than 5 seconds. I can't even see a THUMBNAIL of it without thinking how much it ISN'T Superman.
Netman0007 - 3/17/2013, 8:39 AM
MOS suit is beautiful though, non armory, looks enough like the "classic" Superman I KNOW AND LOVE, and has a GOOD design that flows.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE USE THIS SUIT IN THE MAIN COMICS, DC!!! It's actually...ORIGINAL looking yet somehow doesn't completely compromise the classic and still totally looks like SUPERMAN!!

....[frick] Jim Lee for ruining the damn suit!
