What are the main differences between Post:Flashpoint Superman and Pre:Flashpoint Superman?

There are alot...ermmm he is a bit less boyscout, Jonathan and Martha are dead, his costume is different (Kryptonian armour) he's not married to Lois Lane, his powers a slighty different. Theres loads of other little things that are different.

He is cooler now than he was previously

So far, he isn't portrayed as nearly as powerful as he used to be, his parents died when he was younger so he grew up being a little more abrasive as seen in Action Comics, his costume's origin is completely different aside from his cape. As far as we can tell, his powers have remained the same.

@azza04:

I havent seen anything different with his powers. Supergirl is the only one with a change.

Also, on that note, Ive been thinking that maybe female kryptonians act like a blue lantern to male kryptonians. Kara has been shown to be able to expel sunlight from her body so maybe she could use this to supercharge Superman??

@buttersdaman000:

Ah.. I still prefer that pre-N52 costume.. Good stuff.

When he is written by Johns or Morisson he doesn't take s*it from no one.

his origin story is a combination of 2 older ones

krypton has high gravity and jor el purposely sends him to a planet with yellow sunlight and a weaker gravitational pull so that he would "appear to float"

He's not as nice or compassionate and he's no where near as powerful as he used to be.

He's a good guy but less boyscout. He not only at least move planets but he is capable of shaking them with his bare hands. I say new 52 superman is slightly stronger than Post Crisis but for now, DC needs to show him in other stories and good ones.

I hope Scott Snyder and Greg Pak can bring justice to this character.

@gungunw: Feats have to build up, besides he said that Supernovas are no big deal to him and benching the earth is a feat not seen in Pre Flashpoint. Also there was those He'l punches he was doing.

@hero92: in what comic he has told that a supernova isn't a big deal?

N52 version is younger, quick to combat, kind of a dick sometimesPreN52 version is wiser, kinder, would rather talk through a problem if it seems valid, sees the best in people

as far as who was stronger id say PreN52 but based solely on the fact that he seems older and therefore has absorbed more sunlight

as far as N52 books....the only one worth reading right now imo is Unchained. (im not a fan of Scott Lobdell and as of now he has hold of the 2 big Superman titles). Though I don't hate Superman/Batman and Greg Pak on Action in November is promising to me.

How are his powers different?

What was the change in her powers?

@toptom: It was in Superman, It was before fighting Orion, when he was going to a Lois's party.

the new52 superman is a dick. people are confusing being edgier, not a boyscout with being a dick.

The Pre-52 Superman (including every incarnation from his first appearance right up to the New 52) looked like Superman.

The New 52 Superman looks like a late teenage / LSH Superboy.

@thetimestreamer: Watch the language mate.

new 52 is more of a badass meanwhile pre 52 is wiser and a bit more powerful

Pre 52 Superman= The real Superman

New 52= The new Superboy Prime

Pre-reboot Superman was cool.

The Pre N52 Superman was together w/ Lois, but the post N52 is together w/ Wonder Woman. Get it?

This. DC turned him an angry pretty boy character, no more Truth, Justice and the American Way, just punching through your problems and somehow people think that's cool.

Most distinct differences are: Kents are dead, his costume now is ceremonial uniform of kryptonians, his sensor abilities a little changed and he never was in relationship with Lois Lane.

But overall differences can be summed up in following pics:

@jeremy1989:

New 52= The new Superboy Prime

He is not whining, throwing hissy feats and “killing to death” enough to warrant title of Prime.

Underpants

Pre-Flashpoint Superman was a role model and a character DC could be proud of.

Post-Flashpoint Superman is brash, trigger happy (with his fists), and has no good morals.

fixed

@allstarsuperman: Respectable edit, I'll settle with it, lol

@arturocalakayvee: okay, I still liked the grant Morrison run on action comics.

@allstarsuperman: Whoah, whoah, don't get me wrong, I thought Morrison's run was amazing. I just..can't get over the lack of morals part.

@arturocalakayvee: well he lost his parents early is kind of the excuse. he still had the no kill rule, he just acted more like golden age supes.

@allstarsuperman:

Well I wouldnt say that. But Grant Morrison gave a great explanation on the Superman Panel, saying that if Superman is darker its because the times are darker. Its also most likely why Billy Batson isnt saying Golly Gee and isnt a happy orphan boy anymore.

@hero92: shooting at some one and grabbing the bullet is really no different then throwing them of a building and catching them?

@allstarsuperman: He caught the bullet? Then yes I guess they are the same. But I would say N52 Superman throwing the dude of the building was funnier, Golden Age Superman looked mad.

@hero92: yeah, golden didn't kill people directly, but he did kill. like he would shoot at you, but then catch the bullet to scare you. or he would throw people through walls and off buildings and such. I don't think he ever killed with his hands. he did watch a guy suffocate from toxic gas though.

New52 superman is stronger and more powerful. then pre 52 superman including sun-dipped superman i think.

Some say pre-flashpoint superman is more powerful but i think the new is.

The new one is smarter or more intelligent,faster,stronger,as equal durability or more because of the Armour.

The pre-flastpoint superman has more energy projection and is more skilled fighter and faster in some ways meaning combat/reaction speed ,but overall not as fast meaning travel speed,so that's why i say rebooted new52 superman is more powerful.

Can New-52 Superman survive a supernova or is he still at planet-busting explosion/sub planet-level durability?

Pre-52 Superman seemed to be slightly stronger than New-52 Superman..But I could be wrong.

I don't get all the "New 52 Superman is just a whiny brat with no morals" stuff people have been posting. He's still a good guy and has even done some Pre New 52 Superman like stuff at times.

one is banging wonder woman the other wished and dreams he was banging wonder woman.

No he wasn't. Kara wanted nothing to do with him and Conner died not long after they had their big meeting.

@bee14ish: People don't get that he's meant to an "early" Superman that slowly melds into the Pre New 52 mold.
