I just think Alex Ross head is too old looking. I wanted a younger looking superman. So I hope a COH will make us all happy.
They did it for Bats, so hopefully they follow through for you fans who want a younger looking Supes.

I'm not really seeing the "old" thing with this head, to me he looks just right.
I think a guy built like Supes with that thick neck and coupled with this serious expression is always going to look mature(early 30s).
I actually think its the expression(and how it photographs) that's throwing some folks, for example If this same head sculpt had the John Byrne era smile, I don't think people would say he looked old.
Its all subjective really, I mean personally I think batman looks just as "old" if not older and I haven't seen many gripes about that aspect of his PF.

When people say old, do they mean out of date?
Your right. I think that if they had taken that same head sculpt and made him a bit more angry, that that would have changed the dynamics of this head. The current setup I believe caused many to think... oh its a old school comic version therefore its old.

When I say old I mean in age and I can see it in his face. He looks in his fifties. Which is fine. But I was also thinking of Superman in terms of mid to late twenties would do nicely but I have no complaint about it. It looks great!

No idea where people are seeing "OLD" in this Superman? No way he looks in his 50's, mid 30ish I would say. This is Superman in his prime and its a perfect rendition if you ask me.

The face is strong and well developed. Maybe late thirties into forties? He certainly looks past his twenties IMO. PF and LSB! I want both because they're absolutely perfect together!

Fifties? What world do you live on where people who are fifty or older look that good?
He looks in his mid thirties at most. This is Superman, not Superboy. I don't want the man of steel looking like some punk kid.

Yeah, the "standard" age of Supes and Batman in the comics is around 35, which looks right on here. Don't want some whipper snapper, 21 year old Superboy on the shelf. . .unless he has Krypto, and some Legionnaires to be posed with. In which case, YES!
