That original Superman movie was just so iconic in my youth. Hard to vote for Man of Steel, though I think I liked it more than a lot of people.

This could come down to a generational vote.

Superman. No contest.

The original truly captured the spirit of Superman while Man of Steel tried to make him more like Batman. Outside of the action sequences I was very disappointed in a lot of the creative liberties Snyder took with the Superman mythos.

Same here. Superman is a classic. Outstanding cast too.

Superman has one of the most boring origins of any of the superheroes, this is a toss up.

His disguise is awesome though...flip hair in opposite direction and put on glasses. Oh **** where did Superman go?

Haha, Agreed... I always thought that was a comical point in the movies and comics.

I am still waiting for the "Death of Superman". One of my favorite comics of all time.

I picked MOS because the villian was, in my opinion, one of the all-time great performances. Michael Shannon stole the movie.

You've betrayed your generation.

Born in '79 and grew up on the Donner Superman films. However I don't think they have aged well. The comical/fun Superman that those films were based on from '60's & '70's comics hasn't been in the funny pages in a very long time.

Man of Steel finally brought the Superman that was familiar with seeing in the comics from the early '09's to today. It also finally brought Warner Bros./DC to their senses and spinning out a comprehensive Cinematic Universe.

Love the Donner/Reeve Superman but I went with Man of Steel.

Nostalgia says vote for Superman, but the action and effects in MoS were damn good. Plus I like the edgier Superman of MoS because he's not the classic boy scout.

Doesn't matter. You'll change the vote anyway.

You should advance the better movie, which is obviously Man Of Steel.

 

[firestorm]

Wow what a damn close poll.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Good news....the booing was for nothing.
