Superman's fighting style!

Comicbookfan-V2 on Thu Nov 11, 2010 5:03 pm

This has been discuss over at the Superherohype.com forums so I decided to have it discuss here to hear what you guys think! Anyway, I'm abit curious to know how Superman's fighting style will be portrayed if he's put in a fight scene against a super powered villain. Personally this is a good opportunity for the filmmakers to have Supes make good use of his abilites involving his strength, speed and flight which he can use for airial style combat.

I can see Supes using a sense of craftiness with his abilites in a fight such as using his strength to grab heavy abjects to use as weapons or projectiles, knocking opponents several feet away and creating physical quakes and vibrations to stun opponents. Using his speed to dodge opponent's attacks and landing a blow when the time is right, cutting off an opponent's direction after they get knocked flying and landing blows from almost every direction and using flight to perform airial techniques for not just fighting in mid-air but also striking opponents from mid-air. Other abilites that he can use in a battle are Heat vision and Super breath (Freezing version aleast).

Of course, this is an example how I would picture Supes perform in a fight but I'm also hoping that the filmmakers would coordinate something spectacular involving a fight between Supes and a super powered villain (Who ever it may be)!

What do you guys think?

I like your thoughts there.

For some reason, some asshole comic book writers want to give Superman martial arts training. That's like giving the US Army slingshots; why the hell would they need those, they have nukes!

Depending on the era of the comics, Clark either grew up in a small town or else flat out grew up in the country. Either way, what do you want to bet he knows how to throw? Show us that.

He knows where to plant his fist on somebody's face to hurt them as bad as possible. Show us that.

Things like gravity and weight of objects are non-issues to him in any throwdown. Show us that.

We've had movies aplenty of Superman pulling cats out of trees and kicking like a sissy-mary. Now I want to watch him kick someone's ass.

SHOW US THAT.
