Redditors asked what Superman\u2019s favorite music is and found the perfect answer DC Comics | ElektraSuperman has a long history with DC Comics and fans think they know a lot about them, but a Reddit thread surprised users with the revelation that he\u2019s a Metallica superfan. For as long as Superman has been around, there\u2019s still a lot of mystery to the Man of Steel. There\u2019s plenty that\u2019s been revealed through various stories and conversations, but you can never really tell what\u2019s true and what\u2019s Superman trying to protect his dual identities. We do know more about Superman than ever now. A lot of this is thanks to arcs like Truth, where we saw a Superman with no secret identity, or the follow-up to the Warworld Saga, where readers learned why Lois had made sure Superman kept his gladiator outfit. But some of what we know about Superman comes from classic stories that have been forgotten or lost to time. Reddit has now asked one such question and found some surprising responses about the Man of Steel. Redditors ask what Superman\u2019s favorite music is and get a surprising answer The Reddit thread in question asks a pretty simple question. What kind of music does Superman, an alien refugee raised by farmers and working in the big city as a journalist, listen to? There are a lot of fun answers in the Reddit thread, ranging from genuine guesses to tongue-in-cheek answers, but it opens with an accusation. \u201cJames Gunn is probably asking himself the same thing\u201d one Redditor answered. \u201cOP\u2019s account is only 2 months old and posts exclusively in this sub. Hmm\u2026\u201d said another, jokingly adding to the accusation that the OP was James Gunn. Many others pointed to Superman\u2019s traditional rural upbringing or his naturally upbeat nature to point toward some traditional ideas. \u201cDepends on your version, obviously,\u201d one Redditor added. \u201cBut talking classic Supes I find it hard to believe that a guy from rural Kansas who is basically values aligned with his agricultural parents doesn\u2019t listen to country, and then pop music up to the era that it became exclusively about butts, cause those songs make him bashful.\u201d \u201cClassic jazz, blues, the occasional contemporary song that he enjoys.\u201d one suggested. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s country (not country pop), but I like the idea that he\u2019s a closet NWA fan.\u201d said another Redditor. \u201c80\u2019s pop,\u201d one poster suggested. \u201cIt\u2019s happy, fun, and makes you move.\u201d Superman\u2019s favorite band is Metallica Identifying Superman\u2019s favorite music may be hard, but we do at least have a canonical idea of what his favorite band might be, as one Redditor pointed out. \u201cHis favorite band is Metallica, he has all of their albums on cd, and his favorite is \u2018..and Justice for All, \u2018\u201d pointed out user im_a_weirdo2005. im_a_weirdo2005 is actually correct. The moment in question comes from 2001\u2019s Superboy #83, a pivotal issue in the Superboy ongoing that spun out of the Death & Return of Superman arc. The issue sees Superboy worried that he\u2019s out-of-touch, finding himself at odds after losses alongside Young Justice and feeling neglected by peers who see him as a little more than a braggart superhero. Superboy is able to bounce back with a pep talk from Superman. During the conversation, Superman points out that not everyone truly knows Superman either, and reveals he\u2019s a die-hard Metallica fan who owns all their albums. \u201cNo way. Better disc, \u2018Master of Puppets?\u201d Or The Black Album?\u201d Superboy asks. \u201cJustice for All.\u201d Superman replies, quickly moving back to the subject at hand. We don\u2019t see a lot of discussion about his musical tastes, but considering this is the current version of the character following his return during DC Rebirth, it\u2019s not unreasonable to assume that the current DC Comics Superman is also a literal Metallica superfan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
