#21 Jump Street (1987)

[blizzardheart12]

Hey! If you’re a fan of the 21 Jump Street series (and the movies), I just started a Discord server based around it!

⋆⋇༻༻༻⋇⋆✦⋆⋇༺༺༺⋇⋆

As you probably know, this show has a relatively small fandom, and so I hoped to that by creating this server it would start bringing fans together so that we could chat about it and share a bunch of content too. Every unit needs its chapel, right?

There are channels dedicated to all sorts of aspects of the show, including the cast, headcanons, ships, hot takes, and more! There are also places to talk about off topic things too. Some of the channel names even match the theme of the server.

I have four main roles up so far: rookie, undercover, defective, and chief.

You can choose your own color roles.

There are a bunch of custom emojis of the characters.

I also just added bots for music, movies, and games like truth or dare to make the place extra fun!

I should note that I am fairly new at managing servers and I am still learning. Thank you!

On April 12th, 1987, we began our story. This page is dedicated to the impact we left behind.

[littlerobbinphantomhive19]

Look. I have been a fan of this man for over 20 years. I have never, and I mean NEVER, let myself read fan fiction about him (smut or otherwise), only his characters, if that.

Definitely made me feel all high and mighty. Like, ‘Oh I don’t read fan fictions about the actor. I only read fan fictions about the characters because they aren’t real! I’m respecting the actor by not being gross!’

WELP. That ship has FUCKING SAILED.

For the past couple of months I’ve been watching nothing but Johnny Depp movies. Specifically PoTC1 and Secret Window on repeat. Thanks to 21 Jump Street (1987) I’ve been on a Tom Hanson kick. I found a lovely writer on tumblr, @fuck-i-burnt-the-tea (thank you I love your work), who writes fan fiction about Johnny Depp and two of his characters (Tom Hanson and Captain Jack Sparrow).

I thought ‘Well, reading just one about Johnny won’t hurt.’

Down the fucking rabbit hole I go and now I’m chained up at the bottom.

I’ve simped for this man for YEARS so don’t get me wrong, the brainrot is all well and good but I feel so scummy!

Is this rule for all actors? No. Only him.

Does that make me a hypocrite? Most likely.

Do I regret it? No, not particularly.

Do I still feel like garbage? Abso-fucking-lutely.

[drugs-and-daddyissues]

Guys istg I'm not going crazy. Isn't Tom Hanson 23??? Like I remember there being an episode in S1 or S2 where he was talking to someone (it was either a teen or a parent) in their living room, and he says that he's 23 years old. But like I can't find evidence for this ANYWHERE. Help a girl out if you remember??

Superbat and the Kryptonite Ring: A Reading List

The quick guide, if you just want to jump right in:

Superman (1987) #2

Optional: Action comics annual #1, Adventures of Superman #466, Action Comics #653. These lead up to Dark Knight over Metropolis.

Dark Knight over Metropolis: Superman (1987) #44, Adventures of Superman #467, Action Comics #654

Superman: The Man of Steel #21

Superman (1987) #126 (+ Action Comics #737)

Superman: Lex 2000 (one-shot)

Superman (1987) #168

Detective Comics #756

Batman #612

Optional: Superman/Batman #6, #12, #44-#49, Justice League (2011) #19-20, Batman/Superman (2019) Annual #1

When I think of Superbat, I think of trust. And when I think of superbat and trust I think of this:

panels from Action Comics #654

(and other things, but that's beside the point for this post). Superman trusts Batman with his life, and the decision to stop him if he ever needs to. But Batman also trusts Superman to make the right choice, giving the ring to him first. Even though at this point in post-crisis continuity they're not really friends - they know each other and their secret IDs, they've hung out a couple of times, but that's about it - Bruce doesn't make this choice himself and keeps anything from Clark, but gives the choice to Clark. This is not (yet) the paranoid Batman that keeps things like this from Clark.

So, where does this symbol of their friendship and trust come from, you ask? What happened to and with the ring throughout the years of post-crisis canon? Let's get into it under the cut.

The origin

Superman (1987) #2 (beware the Byrne-era Superman)

(Optional: Action comics annual #1, Adventures of Superman #466, Action Comics #653)

Dark Knight over Metropolis: Superman (1987) #44, Adventures of Superman #467, Action Comics #654

The kryptonite ring first makes its appearance in post-crisis continuity when Lex Luthor fashions a ring from a sliver of kryptonite that came from Metallo. However, its radiation causes him to get cancer and subsequently lose his hand. He keeps the ring in a safe after that. It eventually gets stolen by Amanda McCoy, who has found out that Clark is Superman, and goes to confront him with it. She panics and flees, leaving Clark behind, and she gets mugged and killed. The ring makes its way to the streets of Gotham, where it ends up in Batman's hands.

Dark Knight over Metropolis tells the story of Batman investigating the ring and its previous owner and her death. In the end and after saving each other multiple times, Bruce tells Clark about the ring he found and gives it to him. Eventually Clark shows up at the cave to give it to Bruce, the only man he can trust with his life.

Lost... and retrieved

Superman (1987) #126 (+ optional Action Comics #737)

Superman: Lex 2000

Superman (1987) #168 and Detective Comics #756

In Superman #126, Lex claims he needs the ring when he's on trial. Clark goes to batcave to pick it up himself and hands it over for tests, after which he gets it back, because he believes in fair trial. However, when Clark gets the ring back it's been replaced by a fake (something he doesn't notice because in his Superman blue era he was not susceptible to kryptonite). Luthor has the real one again, right before he becomes president.

panels from Superman (1987) #126

In the Superman: Lex 2000 one-shot, one of the stories shows Batman breaking into Lexcorp to threaten Lex to give back the ring, but this backfires.

In Superman #168, Lois then finally decides to take matters into her own hands and asks Batman for help stealing the ring back from Luthor, because Clark won't tresspass into the White House to steal it.

panels from Superman #168

This very chaotic but fun story is continued in Detective Comics #756. In the end, the ring is back with Clark, Lois, and Bruce. Though we never actually see who of them gets to keep it, I'm going to assume it's Bruce, because he has it in Batman: Hush, which takes place some years after this story.

Could Bruce use it? And Batman's paranoia

Superman: The Man of Steel #21

Batman #612

Superman/Batman: the Search for Kryptonite (#44-49) (specifically #49)

Justice League (2011) #19-20

Clark trusts Bruce enough to give him the means to stop him if he ever needs to, but could Bruce actually go through with it if he had to? Now, there are other contingencies that he has for a rogue Superman, as shown in Tower of Babel, but green K is the most direct one.

In 1993's Superman: The Man of Steel #21, set after Superman's death, there is a page that shows Bruce brooding in front of the case where he keeps the ring and contemplates if he could have used it. He sounds doubtful and above all reluctant when he says he would have had to, though ultimately it wouldn't have mattered anymore since Clark was dead at the time.

panels from Superman: The Man of Steel #21

This is much different from the Batman we see in Hush, where he keeps the ring on himself instead of in a case, and uses it without any doubt. In Batman #612, part of the Hush storyline, when Clark is under Poison Ivy's control, he uses it freely on Clark, enough to subdue him and snap him out of Ivy's control, but no more than that.

Of course, Batman doesn't kill, but from the moment Clark gives him the ring, the implication is given that there might be a scenario where it's a last resort and he actually has to stop Clark. I believe there is a comic that explores this in the Armageddon 2001 crossover, but I haven't read it. Or any other Elseworld stories where Superman goes evil, so I'm not aware if Bruce has ever used it like that. I like to think that even if he needs to, Bruce finds another way, because that's what Superman and Batman do.

Finally, in Superman/Batman: The Search for Kryptonite, Clark asks Bruce to help him rid the world of Kryptonite, after the large asteroid that carried Kara had come to earth. They go about this together very meticulously, and in the end, Clark decides to give Bruce the final piece of kryptonite. But when Bruce goes to deposit it in his cave, we see that he has all varieties and a stockpile of green K.

panels from Superman/Batman #49

This first of all is weird because doesn't Clark know that Bruce already has a kryptonite ring? Unless continuity was wiped somewhere inbetween again. But it also shows how paranoid Batman has become, how far we've strain from the Bruce that really trusted Clark and gave him the ring first in 1990 to do with it what he wanted. Instead, Bruce now keeps a lot of kryptonite unbeknownst to Clark. I personally like the 1990 version of Bruce much better.

During the New 52 era, Bruce also had a Kryptonite ring that was given to him by Clark, as shown in Justice League (2011) #19 and #20.

Extra appearances

Superman/Batman (2003) #12, Superman uses it or a different piece himself on Supergirl.

Batman/Superman (2019) Annual 1, a very fun Superman vs. Batman story :D

In animation: Justice League Doom, loosely based on Tower of Babel.

Fun fact: in JLA: Tower of Babel, Bruce's contingency for Clark has nothing to do with green K, unlike in the movie. I'm assuming that this is because at the time, in the comics, Bruce didn't have the ring, it was in Lex's posession (during his presidency). Besides that, Bruce's contingency for Clark in Tower of Babel is something that would affect him no matter where he is.

I was at the Science Center today and with my brainrot I was just thinking about Tom Hanson taking reader on a date to a museum/science center/zoo kinda thing. It makes reader feel a bit childish since most of the patrons there *are* kids with their parents or school but they have fun regardless. Smiling like a kid at Christmas when they see their favorite subject/animal/etc, getting excited to do like an animal interaction/touch tank. Him watching readers eyes light up and them getting all excited and he just looks at them like this. 👇🏻

At the end of the date he sneakily buys them a plush of their favorite animal. After they get back home he pulls it from behind his back and gives it to reader, smiling all lovingly at them as they gush over it and gives him a kiss (first or not the kiss still happens)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It’s mostly fluff in my head but hey anything can lead to smut. 😉

A young Johnny Depp exuded a raw and magnetic energy that made him stand out in Hollywood in the 1980s. At the time, he was still navigating his early career, and his appearance in roles like *21 Jump Street* (1987) marked the beginning of his rise to fame. Depp’s portrayal of Officer Tom Hanson captured the hearts of audiences, giving him a youthful and rebellious image that would come to define much of his career. His brooding yet charismatic presence on screen made him an instant heartthrob and set him apart from other actors of his generation.

Despite his early fame, Depp remained grounded, often embracing offbeat and unconventional roles that challenged Hollywood norms. His distinctive look—marked by messy hair, piercing eyes, and a penchant for quirky fashion—helped cultivate the persona of an actor unafraid to take risks. Johnny Depp’s unconventional nature in his youth extended beyond his on-screen roles; he also lived a lifestyle that mirrored the rebellious spirit he portrayed, often avoiding the traditional Hollywood path in favor of more eclectic choices.

As Depp’s career evolved, he would go on to take on iconic roles in films like *Edward Scissorhands* (1990), *Pirates of the Caribbean* (2003), and many others, cementing his status as one of Hollywood’s most versatile and enduring stars. The young Johnny Depp was just the beginning of a career that would span decades, marked by constant reinvention and a commitment to embracing eccentric, transformative roles that kept audiences captivated. His early years in the spotlight are a reminder of how his unique charm and talent would shape his journey into becoming a legendary actor.
