1. The Man of Steel
Three reasons: Byrnes grounded Superman, He gaves us the assertive Clark Kent, and made Lex Luthor into a corrupted business man. Overall, Man of Steel is still the greatest origin story of Superman.
2. Superman: Earth One
What so just because this Superman is young and comtemperory that he has to be labeled emo? First of all, Superman in Earth One was not emo, he was college student fresh out of college trying to figure out to do. It does have a little Smallville in Earth One but better. Earth One also gave us a chance to see what if Clark had chosen to be a ceo, an athlete, or a celebrity. While this is a fresh take on Superman and earth one did not stray away from the Superman we know and love. There's a sequel coming out and I can't wait for it. Be on the look out for Superman Earth One sequel.
3.Superman: Brainiac
Words can not describe Superman: Brainiac, that's how good it is. Geoff Johns and Gary Frank are a force to be reckonned.Loved the new Brainiac and cried when Jonathan Kent died.
4.Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
Superman and Batman teaming up? Superman on the run from the law? Ass kicking action? Lex Luthor finally exposed? What more could Anybody ask?
5.Superman: Secret Origin
I've said once and I'll say it again, Johns and Frank are a force to be reckoned with. They were born to write and draw Superman. Besides the bumbling Clark Kent persona back in the comics, Secret origins is one of the best Superman origin stories for the new generation along with Earth one
