  • Superman appeared in live action just 10 years after his debut in the comics but other members of the Superman family or Superman supporting cast weren't so lucky, in this video I'm gonna go over more than 100 Superman related characters and see how long it took them to appear in live action.

    Fun fact the Superman villain The puzzler was in the 1960s Batman TV show for second season in one episode because the actor playing the Riddler didn't want to come back because he wasn't getting paid that much

      Superman's foe the Puzzler was a female character that separated like Puzzle pieces was not the same character. Green Lantern had foe Harlequin a villainess but was much different than Batman foe Harley Quinn also a villainess. The first later gave up crime and married Alan Scott the 2nd had hots for The Joker. Batman foe Clayface originally used disguise his TV equivalent on Batman TV show was called Falseface by then Clayface had powers in body to disguise by shape shifting and altering appearance not by wearing masks to disguise.

    It's fitting that Superman's first enemy was the one that took him the longest decades to make his live action debut.

    Maybe for green arrow and green lantern you could combine those two into one video. They were road trip buddies in the comics and paired up a lot, so it makes sense to tie them together in this. Obviously GA would have more character adaptations, but since GL has so few I wouldn’t think it’d make the video super long or anything

    Krypto appeared in Smallville, they gave him a bath at the end of the episode and dried him off with a bright red towel that they just happen to leave on his back and he walked around with it on for a little bit just so he looked comics-accurate.

    Maybe try for Green Arrow? Idk how many Arrow characters are actually directly tied to Green Arrow...since a lot of the characters were Batman or League villains.
    But I figure his list could still be a good 1.
    But also do Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, & the Titans (some will be repeats from previous videos due to characters like Wally, Dick, Donna).
    I think all of those should have enough for their own videos.

    The reason Superman does not get much adaptations is because the general public do not understand Superman. Most people have a very shallow surface level view of the character. You see, Superman is... not Superman and he is not an alien (I'm serious). Sure, he came from another planet and has a super powered body, but he is just a man. He is a human like the rest of us. His name is Clark Kent and he has always been Clark Kent. Superman / Kal-El is how the world views him. Superman is more of an idea and Clark is his real self since the day when he was discovered by his human parents (Jonathan and Martha Kent). Clark is human all thanks to his human parents. They raised a human boy and shaped the person he became. Clark Kent is the reason Superman is able to understand how to talk to the "little guys". This is also why Lois Lane chooses Clark over Superman. She could have rejected Clark and chose to persue Superman but she has an incredible intuition (hence her being a high level reporter) and was able to see right through Superman that there is more to him than the surface level view the world has of him. She fell in love a man and not an idea.
    Everyone misses the most important aspect of Superman, which is Clark. All they see is a super powerful dude who beats up tough bad guys with ease. This is also why anyone who takes on the "Superman" mantle can never live up to Clark's Superman because without Clark then Superman is nothing but an empty hollow husk (see what happened after Doomsday kills Superman and Superman impersonators attempt to fill in for Superman but all fail because they do not have Clark Kent's wisdom and humanity). Spider-Man is the opposite whereby anyone who puts on the Spidey mask is Spider-Man. Superman is such an incredibly interesting character with so much potential for great stories, but a lot of people don't know about the importance of Clark. They always say it is too difficult to write a Superman story because he is too strong for villains. First of all, not all stories about heroes need a villain that can throw hands. Second, how the hell are they writing Superman without writing Clark Kent first??

    • @hexum7
      @hexum7 Год назад

      Interesting- but it could be argued that much of Clark Kent is a fiction as much as his other identity. The very fact that he has to pretend to be weaker, both physically and emotionally makes the guise a disguise. Neither is the whole man

    • @hexum7
      @hexum7 Год назад

      @Will N Proven? It really depends on who wrote him. The original version of Clark however, by Superman’s creators made it plain that he usually played the coward, to further the disguise, and to give him a plausible reason to run away so he could come back in the cape. Was that how the real man would have reacted? Like he was silly with fear? I don’t think so. In the Reeves movies, he was a clutzy shy barely social goof-up as well. Real man? But your mileage may vary
