Clark Kent/Kal-El Superman Appreciation 2021

[DABellWrites]

Byrne krypton is a mixed bag

Aesthetic and society wise...it is so alien


But it also is so hostile that it personifies the post-crisis ethos I dislike the most


Superman being a human with extra steps

I always felt that Superman should be an alien first, a human second

He is a godlike alien who pretends to be human to fit in with humanity, because his connecting with humanity has helped him cope with the immeasurable loss of krypton that he remembers vividly due to his kryptonian super-intellect

If I had absolute control over the franchise...this aspect will be emphasized the most about Superman with his actual arrival on earth happening at the age of five.

He was alien from 1956-1986. That's for over three decades. If there is one thing we need to learn, alien godlike Superman only works for so long before the sales drop.

The sales have dropped on farmboy Supes too. The only viable approach is both!

PKJ's Clark is seemingly the Elder Statesman mixed with the Gladiator. Closer to the alien to the farmboy, but trying to channel both anyway.

Heard some people say that given PKJ’s love of fantasy, his Clark is reminiscent of King Conan. Still powerful, but having to rely more on his brains and cunning than his physical strength.

My Adventures With Superman

Ah. I guess because it hasn't aired yet and I've not seen the acronym before it didn't click.
Is that show's version of Lois Asian American? She looks so much like Luz from the Owl House I was thinking some kind of Latina.

So alien farmboy you say?



Yeah, that’ll work

Yeah, the assumption is that Lois is a woman of color, specifically Asian American since her voice actress Alice Lee is as well.

So alien farmboy you say?



Yeah, that’ll work

You know that issue firmly says what superman is..is a gladiator..A gladiator for truth and justice on behalf of common folks.He is neither clark the farmboy nor kal the alien.But,they can be supermen...If they choose.

It took me a second also to realize the acronym.

The only viable approach is Siegel!

I'm hoping if we ever get to see Brandon Kent again, that they base his characterization on that image.

It looks like they’re taking from American Alien where Lois was Asian, and her VA is Asian, so yeah I suspect she’s going to be of Korean or Japanese biracial ethnicity.

Perfect ideal Superman

Kal-el and Clark Kent are both real and valid identities

Superman doesn’t become a social justice warrior at his debut, it is an aspect of him that slowly develops the more and more he realizes that he is just fighting the symptoms and not the cause

Looks like Lois & Clark is on HBO Max now: https://twitter.com/kryptonsite/stat...150941698?s=21

Small brains: "Superman is the real guy", "Clark is the real guy", "Kal-El is the real guy", "two of the three are the real guy", "All three are the real guy".

Big brains: None are the real guy 'cause Superman ain't real.
