The Smallville Scarecrow S

I'm fairly certain that the S painted on Clark's chest in the Smallville pilot episode (when he is tied to the cross in the field) is meant to stand for "scarecrow", not "Smallville".

On a slightly related note, it is worth mentioning that the Smallville Clark wears a black / grey variant of the S shield on his chest during acts of heroism (as "The Blur") around Metropolis now. --Codemonkey85, 14:34, 30 September 2009 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.118.135 (talk)

Shouldn't someone atleast upload an image of the S shield to show the reader what the article talks about looks like? Nadirali 07:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Reign of Supermen Variants

I'd recommend somne discussion of the Reign of the Supermen variant shields (the half-normal, half-metallic Cyborg Superman logo, the Steel logo, and the "stitched-on" Superboy logo). Also, I have heard that the reason DC stopped using the original Steel logo was because it turned out they didn't actually have the rights to that specific variant. Can anyone find a cite for this? 207.31.229.4 13:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

"nothing more than an inverted triangle"

What characterizes a triangle as being "inverted"? This pre-supposes that there is a "correct" orientation for a triangle, but I'd maintain that it is simply a class of geometric figures based on the number of sides and vertices, and that there isn't a "right" way up which can be inverted. Just thought I'd mention it; it may seem perfectly fine to others... Jock123 (talk) 16:55, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Movie cape shield outlined in red thread?

I'm not sure where this information comes from - it certainly always appears to be black to me, and between the definitive DVD edition information (both of the on-screen uses and as seen in the behind the scenes footage), as well as this comprehensive on-line examination of screen used costumes: http://www.capedwonder.com/newwebsite/pages/superman-costumes.html there is no mention of the sections of the cape shield being outlined in red.

It therefore isn't a variant, but an accurate reproduction of the shield as shown in the comics of the time. Jock123 (talk) 17:21, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Originally a J?

It seems to have been an S from the beginning http://www.metropolisplus.com/superman/ Drsmoo (talk) 01:50, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
