The Evolution in Character Portray

Reading through the first and most original Superman comics, I found myself comparing, more than once, The Superman Chronicles to the other Superman, or superhero comics that I have read throughout the years. Just to make things easier, I'm going to compare it the works of my favorite comics artists' Jim Lee and Scott Williams' Justice League (Volume 1 Origin).

The Superman Chronicles:
The monotonousness of the stories was more than obvious.
There was no buildup of his background: Clark Kent, even without an explanation of how he got his name, was presented to us, with a full introduction of his super powers: super strength, super speed, super body. He was just a SUPER man.
There was no combination of good and bad: similar to Tintin, the good characters were only good. The evil villains were only bad.
There was no logical connection or development of story line in each section: there was only him rushing from one crime scene to another, discovering a danger/ threat one by one, and then saving the world like as if it was the just as easy as breathing. The artists worked really hard on trying to present the greatness of the hero, letting him overcome obstacles at ease. The only sense of danger that the audience could get a sense of was from the appearance of Louis Lane, the romantic interest of Superman.

Justice League:
In Justice League, however, the characters were presented in a more 3D way.
The heroes were more human: they had actual personality defaults, such as Green Lantern's arrogance, Flash's pettiness, Batman's darkness, and Superman's Boy Scott innocence. Even the crowd is more realistic: they feared of the super heroes instead of blindly praising them, not knowing what they would do. Human bodies are drawn in a more idealistic human form, with more detailed muscles, abs, biceps.
The mixed feelings and complicated lives: Such as Victor Stone, aka Cyborg, he did not choose to become a superhero. He was just a teenager who was seeking attention from his scientist father and happened to stumble into the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hardships in coming together: The artist depict the collusion the heroes face when they first meet one another. The story develops and the tension builds up. It is more attractive to the reader as they see how each member of the Justice League slowly matures or adjusts to one another. It is the trust that they reveal and harmonic collaboration between the heroes that pumps up our blood and want to read on.

As much as I love the newer comics that come rolling out, reading through the original Superman comics definitely gave me a clearer picture of how the story telling and character depiction in comics have developed overtime and really made me appreciate the art that comes in it.
