Lois was also, at least, part Hispanic/Latino in ALL STAR SUPERMAN.

I finally got around to this issue, and American Alien keeps being great. Really enjoyed how Lee kept toying with the visual reveal of Luthor, he's certainly not the most interesting-looking guy out there and still the movement when he stepped into the light felt powerful. Probably had a lot to do with his first appearance in the awesome panel of the helicopter landing, some great composition in there. However, Landis also definitely missed a super obvious opportunity by not having Clark say "You owe me a MacBook, you rich *******" to Batman when he smashed him against that wall and revealed him to be Bruce Wayne...

The only true flaw of the book!

Would've been SO perfect now that you bring it up. Maybe something to save for Superman: Agent of Batman?

Really awesome issue. This series has been pretty awesome sans one issue, #2.

I didn't see it as Clark being inspired by Batman so much as him being inspired by what Dick Grayson said about Batman doing it wrong and how people need hope. Which I found interesting since it's a story that Supes tells Grayson years later that inspires him to become Nightwing.
Oddly enough Lex also helped put the idea in Clark's head. Pragmatism over fatalism. Of course without the extreme arrogance that Lex displays.

Yeah, I'm surprised more aren't talking more about Dick in this. He's definitely introduced as a more complex character than other versions of him that I've seen and he's a kid still, I'm definitely really feeling that. I agree that the conversations between Lex and Dick was what implanted the idea of being a hero.

I think seeing Batman and easily overcoming him was like, "anything you can do, I can probably do better." Haha, I do love that as humble as Clark is, I liked that smirk he gives Batman as he pins him to the wall, because he knows you can't easily **** with him.
