    I Kinda admire that in a person.The capacity to be truley themselves,faults and all infront of the world.Even the uglyness.
    It's certainly reminiscent of it, yes. That much is obvious. It goes a lot further than Donner in making him look like an absolute tool, though, which is why I love it.

    As to the other part, to each their own. I can't admire someone who sees the ugliness in their soul and embraces it rather than seeing it as a potential for growth. Perhaps it's different where you're from, but over here "being real" is usually short for being an ******* and trying to feel good about it. It's also often used by bigots to justify their beliefs.

    Owning your faults is one thing but people who refuse to try and overcome them don't deserve admiration.

    Is that what clark does?Cause i don't see it.I see him denial or trying to kill parts of his soul.And also,Overcoming is not how it works.True demons are part of yourself and innermost part of your psyche.You embrace,deal with your demons and shadows.You live with them.You be honest about it to others and try to tame it.Have others to help you.You then finally understand it.Otherwise,You are just throwing a part of yourself away and being in denial about it.You just keep going in circles with "Immovable object meeting unstoppable force".

    I would.Because i can respect an enemy who is true to himself.we can go at it.No holds barred.Maybe grab a beer after.But,i won't or can't handle duplicitous people.Especially as friends or family.He(the *******) might be ugly.But,there is a lot of uglyness in the world.But,then that's just my view.I see it as "uglyness".Therefore it is.and i am might say it shouldn't exist.The opposite side might say the reverse.Even as part of my own soul.We just don't believe in killing dragons and serpents because It's a pipe dream.it ain't going to happen.We kinda come to terms with it.There is no growth like that.But,fights are fun though.The tiger and the dragon going at it.

    Also,it's always a wierd pattern or unintentional story.Lex is the one who grows.Not clark.Lex comes to understand clark(Things like allstar superman movies).Never in reverse.Clark never comes to understand what it's like to cling to things,to want things,to take pride in things,To take your own damn decision...etc.Clark never understood man's quarrel with fate be it good or bad.Clark is a dead end.He dies without acknowleding his own savior complex or his absolute obedience towards higher authorities like his parents,his love,...etc and expectation of it from others(one way or another.through force or example).Yin becomes yang.But,Yang doesn't become yin.That's unbalanced in my opinion.That's not fair or healthy for person.Nor would it make a good relatable protagonist.Maybe he should stop trying to save the world.And just do it.

    I love these and still wish this was the default look for Brainiac. With his previous "bald green guy in white go go boots" being his only other look.

    Lex at least trots out the old armor once and while.

    Yeah, when I came across when I was first getting into comics my only thought was "why isn't this his default look?"

    Robot with a skull for a face trumps all.

    I'm not no much fond of armored Lex. I mean, I am not against to Lex using it from time to time, but Lex weapon is his mind and to use the armor mad me feel like that diminishes him as a threat, I feel him like a second rate Iron man. And in the pre-crisis case, with him, founding the armor instead of built it (something than changed post crisis) was against the core of the character. At least in my opinion.

    Dude same lmao! I don’t think I realized it because the trench coat covers up most of his body and seeing that in a Superman comic didn’t really register for me.
