Superman reaction faces that made me chuckle a little bit

This is horseshit your honor. Superman lies all the fucking time.

Harmless lies, yes. But lies all the same.

Case in point, the literal next issue.

Superman has stated multiple times he likes scaring people- he's a kind and caring man, but he likes to have fun. That being said, one day someone's gonna have a heart attack.

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #30 "The Son of Superman!" (1958)

What

Let me be clear, this story is inherently flawed from beginning to end and clearly only was written for clickbait- or possibly gits and shiggles. I shouldn't spoil the plot twist though.

Superman #47 "Superman's Unlucky Day!" (1947)

With Super-Powers, comes a surprising lack of Super-Stition.

Clark gets cursed with bad luck after seeing Lois's misfortune. It seems the universe teaches him a lesson by hurting him in the only way it really can- public embarrassment.

I love when Superman doesn't even pretend to play fair.

A+ Recovery Clark. That is a very human reaction and something that normal humans do.

"What are you going to do, super-stab me?" -Superman, who got Super-stabbed

Worry not, it was a mere tomfoolery

...why did Florida have a moon missile project?

Superboy #68 "Bizarro- the Super-Creature of Steel!" (1958)

I do love the occasional insane lore drops- like the one where Hitler is possessed by fifty demons.

Superman #71 "Clark Kent's Super-Masquerade!" (1951)

In which Superman Forgor and also fell for a scam.

Yet another Amnesiac Clark story- which are nearly always good. This one was unique, because Lois and Perry actually learn that he's lost his memory- and also because he takes the palce of Superman without actually realizing that he's really Superman. A fun shenanigan indeed.

Ah, I really like this artist's version of Clark and Lois.

Clark is so squishy and Lois looks like Ana Garcia

Since Superman is a reporter that uncovers information about villains, Bizarro should be the opposite and cover up information about heroes.

I want a side story about Bizarro being the sole reason nobody has found out who Batman is

Through a series of comedic hijinks and coincidences

“Bizarro checked Batman’s Closet. No closet, cave. Metaphorical closet was less interesting. Dead parents. Alleyway. Bagh.”

“Now, Green Arrow’s metaphor closet has some big skeletons…”

“The Bat got cut up by man with knife. Blood on floor. That can be used for gentrification. Bizarro very carefully removed floor. No more blood, no gentrification. Bruce is safe.”

“Bizarro heard that meaning of life was secret. Hard to find. Wasn’t hard to check dictionary! Meaning of life…where’s my dictionary?”

What the fuck teach

Although, honestly, if you have no morals, straight up shooting every person you suspect is Superman wouldn't be ineffective..

World’s Finest Comics #95 “Battle of the Super-Heroes!" (1958)

When Batman V’d Superman for the first time…

A classic story of large men in tight spandex slapping each other with allegedly dangerous but harmless in practice objects in an attempt to prove their masculine superiority to the other.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, Silver/Golden Age comics are loony toons with Spandex

The Ridiculous Behavior and Foolish Conduct in question:

Context: Aliens were arguing about who was the better hero, so they gave Batman superpowers and zapped them both with the "Mean Ray" so they'd fight. I might post the whole thing.
