The "Like a Boss" song just started running through my head.
Also, my first reaction to looking at the picture was, "Superman is KILLING people!? Oh wait, they're Nazis. Good." Makes me think of the X-Men First Class movie with how at the end Charles is all like, "No, Erik! Don't kill him! It's not right!" while I (and my mom) are like, "KILL HIM, Erik. He's a freakin' Nazi."
Awesome though that is, strangely enough, I've seen that addressed by Robert Asprin in his MYTH series.
One of the wizards there figures that warriors don't learn to use non-magical weapons because it splits focus. Aside from the swapping being a first class wizard for a second class wizard AND a second class warrior, In a given situation, the wizard who knows weapons will ponder, even for a fraction of a second about whether to use magic or steel, and that hesitation would most likely cost them their lives.
Rob Liefeld sits in a poorly-lit room, the smell of sweat hangs heavy in the air, Tom Veitch sits opposite him.
TOM: You know I'm not supposed to be here... (wipe brow with tissue)
ROB: (Rob's dialogue is to be spoken in the voice of Beavis) Guns. Tits. Heheh. Heheheheheheh. (lean over table and droll directly in front of Tom)
TOM: I... Yes, that's charming. Mr. Liefeld... (stare intensely into Rob's eyes) You know why I'm here. Kamandi: At Earth's End was brilliant. No, a masterpiece. I have pitched a sort of sequel to the series, the protagonist being none other than our Man of Steel.
TOM: ... But I'm out of ideas. My artist, Frank Gomez, was your protege. He has directed me to you! (point at Rob) Tell me, Mr. Liefeld, what should the story contain?
You know, if someone had a camera (and in this era of multimedia cellphones who hasn't?) and access to reasonable likenesses of aforementioned gentlemen... *ahem* That way to youtube.
