I had so much fun drawing that I decided to go ahead and ink and colour it... And BOY am I happy with how it turned out!

Superman vs. The Elite was absolutely INCREDIBLE and a huge kudos must go out to the team at WB Animation for consistently putting out seriously high-quality animated films year in and year out! When I was a kid, I ADORED Superman (mainly because he reminded me of my dad) and there are tons of photos of me with a golden mullet, prancing around in home-made Superman spandex (thanks to my awesome mom) from my wonderfully misbegotten youth to prove my fandom. In fact, I pretty much owe my passion for comics to Superman and Tales from the Crypt (seeing as they were the only comics available to buy back then), so ol' big blue deserved a little fan art.

:icondeadbeatmax: actually very kindly likened the sketch to Ed McGuinness' work, which is a HUGE compliment because that guy is one of my artistic heroes! :D

Enough rambling though, I hope you all like the pic and let me know what you think! :D

My mom and I are huge superhero fans, from Iron man to The Flash. I think the most credit to my love of supers is Superman himself, and this movie really puts him into more depth. No, almost all of his animated movies do. You realize he isn't just a stereotypical hero--he's a protector and a teacher for many.
My favorite hero is of course little ole Spiderman, (although he doesn't improve my arachniphobia) and every major Marvel hero you can think of, but Superman and his DC buddies are the root of my childhood.

Enough rambling, I enjoy this art! It really looks like it's out of the movie itself.

Damm i just watched that scene last night i knew before superman sometimes gets his butt kick because he holding back he always uses the least amount of force to defeat an opponent. but when he does stop holding back god help your soul, cause when superman let loose he is very scary

Exactly! That's why that movie means so much to me! And I LOVE Manchester Black, he's one of the best villains ever!

Hey, to each their own... Personally, Aqualad (from Young Justice) will always be my all time favourite character! :D

while i grow up watching dbz and i love goku i just realize that superman is a much more complex character than people give him credit for. superman overpowered and he knows it so he uses the least amount of force to fight, but when he does start let loose he is scary. i mean damm they wont be calling him boring after watching this movie

That is awesome, although I think Superman should get that eye looked at when this is over.

I especially loved Supey's speech towards the end
