My least favorite Superman depiction is the Superman of the 80’s.Â
Ok, the 80’s were the days of big hair–but good grief! He looks like a thug in tights. For an entire generation, people had to look at this terrible idea of Superman. Am I prejudice? I think so. However, one must understand that Superman has never had long hair. He is the ideal clean cut American…long hair doesn’t fit in that equation.Â
So the next time artists want to get creative with Superman–forget the hairdo!

Agreed. The long hair was silly to say the least – but that direction ended up backfiring against DC; Superman title sales dropped noticably due to the substandard quality of the writing/plots.
