      This is the exact type of story I love seeing with Superman. It's not impressive that he has immense strength, durability, speed, and overall powers. It's impressive that despite *having* all that unfathomable strength, he still does the morally correct thing, steps in to situations that others would see as beneath them, and goes the extra mile to make sure everybody is okay. When Superman lifts a mountain, I yawn. When he sleeps in a sun for ten thousand years and emerges as a literal golden god, I roll my eyes. But when he has all the strength in the universe, and finds a suicidal girl about to jump off a building, he *sits down to talk to her and listens sincerely to her problems,* that, THAT to me, is what defines Superman. It's not the surface level demigod that is Kal'El that people care about, but rather the beacon of humanity beneath those muscles that is Clark Kent.

    @christopherfeatherley Год назад +1352

    I think this is a really nice depiction of Superman, sadly mosu comic writers ignore. Notice how Superman, although a big funny, is walking casually amongst the people--being on their level; it's nice to see him not always fighting crime and seeing what he does when he's not Clark Kent or being a crime fighter. And, how he isn't always fighting against some space alien or large monster: it could be someone from the real everyday world. I think what I like most about this comic is how he hands the kid his number, and even offers to answer a call once a day from the kid. It's a risk of finding out his true identity, sure, but he takes it because he shows genuine concern of how the kid will grow up. He understands trauma and criminals aren't born from hell or no where; they start from broken homes. That's how you write Superman: someone who wants to do the right thing.

      @@Chiefteeth1 I get that. You have to appeal to a wider audience, and in the process, you sacrifice key character traits--which took years to develop. That's the unique thing about the comic medium: we've had these characters for decades, and in that time, their personalities and philosophies are molded to something real. In most modern iterations of Superman, he seems so out of touch with humanity, or is easy to turn corrupt without a second thought. I totally get why evil Superman is a popular sub genre (even I'm into Injustice the game), but it does defeat the purpose of his character a bit

      Usually, stories like this have abusive step parents instead because no one likes to think biological parents could be horrible to their own children. The evil stepmother trope exists for a reason. They may have been praising the comic for acknowledging that there are fathers out there who violently beat their own sons without trying to soften the blow by going “Oh, he wasn’t really his father.” The guy in the comic is the kid’s father, but he’s not his daddy for sure.

  • @justincummings8557
    @justincummings8557 Год назад +5

    This, to me anyway, is one of the most defining characteristics of Clark. Many superheroes needed sparks to start their careers. Bruce Wayne lost his parents at the age of 8 due to a thug, causing him to travel around the world to train himself to become the Batman; Peter Parker let a criminal get away and that guy killed his uncle, forcing him to use his powers to become Spider-Man; Oliver Queen got lost on a deserted island, and eventually escaped the island, becoming Green Arrow; etc.
    Clark Kent didn’t need any of that. He was already a pretty decent guy before he learned of his powers. Had he been born a normal person, he probably would’ve still done what he could to help that kid. Just because he had powers doesn’t mean he’s a good person, that was put in place by the Kents. The DCAU and Smallville versions of Superman do really well with this.
