Superman by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, with colors by Alex Sinclair, from Superman: For Tomorrow, a 12-issue storyline that ran in Superman (vol. 2) #204 (June, 2004) to #215 (May, 2005).

Inspired by that first look image James Gunn recently released for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow!

I'm beyond hyped for its potential and the fact that we'll be treated to a space opera flick. Love that!

Clark Kent faces about a hundred ethical dilemmas a day, but the one he'll never get used to is accidentally finding out that someone-- sometimes random strangers, sometimes his close friends-- has a serious health condition with x-ray vision, smell, or his hearing and having to figure if he should tell them, and how.

I think the reason a lot of comic fans enjoy TV over movie adaptations is because a lot of the TV shows are absolutely bonkers half the time (looking at you, CW) but so are comics. Superhero movies tend to stray away from colorful or seemingly cheesy costumes, embrace grit over sincerity, choose gratuitous action sequences over an actual sense of altruism, and prefer Serious Cinema™️ over the absolute chaos comic continuity has been for the past eighty years. The TV shows, on the other hand, often go all in on sincerity, unapologetically feature themes of altruism and hope, and embrace FUN, even when it’s stupid. When it comes to hopeful and feel-good entertainment, I know what I’m choosing.

Because you're the queen of outsider POV fic, I wonder, would you ever write a fic where the world finds out the Kent's are actually Kryptonians? Like maybe there's timetravel bs or magic or whatever, but it's everywhere- Superman is Clark Kent, daily planet reporter.

Maybe it starts with Jon in his classroom, just sitting there when suddenly his teacher, who had just gotten a call from the front office, pales and just stares at Jon. Her mind is blank, frozen for a minute while she thinks about the fact she's given one of the most powerful people recess detention. Laughter bubbles up, strange and slightly hysterical. But then she takes a breath, remembers that Jon is a sweet kid, and more than that, he's one of her students and that means she needs to protect him.

She quietly sends him to the office, where the principle will hide him until his father or mother can take him safely. She knows every second brings them closer to mobs at the gates demanding everything and more.

Or maybe it's Perry, sitting in silence, having received a tip off 20 minutes before the story ran, studying Clark, Superman, as he sits in the shitty armchair, waiting patiently for him to speak. Looking small and unassuming despite his size and power. A god made flesh, and he sits meekly before a normal, human man who pays him like shit and yells at him over deadlines. Perry swallows and gives Clark his warning, wondering if he'll ever see Lois and Clark again. He's sure he'll see Superman again. Superman, despite this betrayal by the very people he protects, will likely never abandon his charges. But he doubts he'll ever meet Clark Kent, if he was ever even real.

Or maybe it's Cat Grant, staring at Kara, as she flees and stumbles out, like a normal human girl, until something Shifts and suddenly she's gone like she was never there, the only sign the gust of wind she left in her wake.

Just... people seeing both sides of the coin and coming to terms with it. Making the choice to protect the strongest people alive. Marveling at them, their humanity juxtaposed against their inhuman perfection.

Idk I just have feels ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh I LOVE this idea!! Maybe a fic with a couple different POVs shifting rapidly all around the same 5-10 minutes of realization. Seeing the dominoes fall and things slide into place. Getting the barest glimpse of realization before Bruce (presumably) sweeps in and enacts the most bold witness protection/media blackout campaign ever seen before, and since.

Superman and Robin by Gleb Melnikov!

With the casting of David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's parents, this is the perfect time to talk about a thought that's been floating around my head the last 24 hours: It's a stroke of brilliance to not show the destruction of Krypton in the new Superman movie and to instead save it for the Supergirl movie immediately after. Like Martha and Thomas Wayne's murder in a Batman movie, the destruction of Krypton has been rehashed enough times for the audience to not need to see it again for a while. But doing it in a Supergirl movie changes our perspective of it and recontextualizes the catastrophe. Clark's perspective of the event is that of a baby sent down the galactic river by his parents (Moses imagery) and filmmakers often end up padding from there (Zack Snyder's Krypton sequence is 20 minutes and might as well be its own short film). But Kara was cognitive and fully experienced the destruction of her planet.

If you haven't read Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (which is the series the movie is based on and I highly recommend), Kara is a teenage girl when Krypton is destroyed. She watches as the streets of her city go up in flames, witnesses people die in the explosions. But Argo, the capitol city and Kara's home, survives the wreckage and floats out in space. What luck! Her father, being a prominent scientist, does everything he can to keep the city thriving, but wait! A disease pops up as a result of the destruction and begins killing everyone left. So not only is Supergirl traumatized by the destruction of her planet and the loss of her friends and neighbors and mother, but she then has to watch the rest of its survivors slowly die of disease until her father makes the hard choice to send her away on the space ship he manages to build for her.

We have spent years watching Clark being sent off in the final moments of Krypton, but imagine how devastating and heart-wrenching it's going to be from Kara's perspective, losing a home and culture and memories in a different way than Clark. We learn about Krypton through Clark with him as our stand-in. But through Kara, we experience Krypton.

MAWS 100% has my favorite iteration of Brainiac, no questions asked. Like I've never been a huge fan of him being a Kryptonian AI but this show sold me on the concept (I still prefer green man with skull ship but). His deliberate malice, his calculated manupulation of Kara. The fact that he told Clark to take his hand so he could show him "my Krypton" only to trick him into testing his strength. He put a block over the mural so that whoever gazed upon it would become a slave to the empire. His ideology of "strong" and "weak". The fact that Kandor is not a bustling city of remaining Kryptonians but instead a collection of souls in agony. He is cold and intentional with everything he does, a soulless machine that is all too human. He is Brainiac but with the virtues of Zod.
