      @@LFPS0311 On every level, your theory fails.
      1. Vandal Savage would have had no idea who the Kents were before Clark arrived. The accident happened months before his pod crashed in Kansas by happenstance.
      2. It wasn't a mystery who the driver was - people knew his name and identity. Obviously the morticians would know if his body disappeared/started healing.
      3. Martha knew the identity of the driver. The Kents knew his name and appearance. But when Savage visits Martha years later, she doesn't recognize him.
      4. The drunk-driver just being a drunk-driver is more in line with the philosophy of the epic. The epic is naturalistic and humanist. Tragedy is part of the human experience.
      5. Max's Savage isn't the deeply intelligent, suave manipulator seen in DC comics proper. Max's Savage represents the danger of religion in its impact on the human mind.
      Remember: Joker and Harley are fake crazy. Luthor has serious problems but maintains a rational side. Vandal Savage, on the other hand, is actually, flat-out, Cuckoo-Crazy. So this idea that he orchestrated the Kents losing their child so they could raise Clark is silly. What possible motive could he have?
      No hate. It's lots of fun to theorize and I have made predictions which turned out wrong. But this theory of yours is blatantly incoherent.

    Pete is looking more and more like Clark's lifeline to his humanity. During the cartoon JLU, Batman had that job (of sorts) to remind Superman and the rest of the league to be aware that their abilities are not the norm and that surrounding yourself with superheroes only leads to think that humanity is below you.
    So much so that th cartoon actually forgets about clark and just says Superman is superman and deal.
    I do like the fact that Pete is somewhat reminding me of the smallville show. The human who would always ask Clark what he was able to do with his powers with the imagination.

    This feels less like Game of Thrones, and more like Discworld. The arrangement of characters, meaning, and purpose is much more... oh I hesitate to say simple. Targeted, maybe? In the broad view, GoT is more impersonal. I bring up Discworld if only for the breadth of interlocking personal stories and a healthy dash of whimsy.
    I get it though, namedropping GoT is just an elevator pitch line for breadth.

    Going to go a bit spoilery
    Hope that everyone who wants to stay away from theories and potential spoilers doesn't see this
    Aight here we go
    After observing the Kryptonian Epic for such a long time, I have been made to feel as though Earth was a Krypton back up in case of Krypton's destruction, after these last hints. We already know that the god Arthur worships is Brainiac, American Alien had a Doomsday glimpse, and Zod and the Fortress Of Solitude have been confirmed for Do It Yourself, so we are going to see a lot of Kryptonian involvement in the Earth's future. Furthermore, in American Alien #6, Abin Sur said that the Earth wasn't ready for the GLC. Perhaps a hint that Earth had yet to fullfil it's true purpose of housing the remaining Krypton survivors? And last but not least, thematically speaking, Clark rejecting his Kryptonian heritage and choosing to save Earth while the remaining Kryptonians are trying to take over would be a logical endgame.
    In addition, Vandal Savage's immortality and him refering to Superman as the Antichrist could be a direct result of him getting his powers and vast knowledge through Kryptonian technology, and knowing that in the end, Kryptonians are going to try to take over the world (although he doesn't know that Clark is actually going to fight for Earth than doom it)
    But what would the twist be? Well, since it's been confirmed that Arthur's home and the Fortress Of Solitude will somehow connect, I could see the twist being that Brainiac is, in fact, Superman's dad Jor-El. It would be a powerful moment, and it would make one of the messages of the Epic (that you are the one who chooses his true family and not who you are related to) even more powerful
