Chinese Superman Comics

By Confused Laowai | Date: June 11th, 2011 | Category: Culture

Dave, from Chinese Hacks, posted a link to these awesome comics on Social Mandarin: Chinese Superman Comics. It’s the world’s beloved hero and saviour Superman himself… saying rather strange things in Chinese. Odd, but funny!

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor... Love Doctor"

Although they are in Tradtional characters, I can read most of the dialogue via guessing the context if the characters are unfamiliar in traditional script. These comics must surely be edited, as I doubt these are real Superman dialogues. Nonetheless, I love them! Funny, quick and readable. A definite permanent addition to my RSS reader.

“I’m not drinking alcohol anymore” or the lie we all say “I’m never drinking again”

Go visit the site and click through! It’s fun!
