HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOIS LANE! (AUGUST 17)

Jon, your mom is a very accomplished person. A very, ummm…Cool person. Like, you know she spent the last few years writing books? And before you were born, she was known as one of the best reporters in the world. Her work changed lives for the better. And her curiosity, energy, spark and intellect not only made her special, but helped her make you special. It’s part of what has shaped you into the person you are. If mom goes back to work and feels more fulfilled as a person, it doesn’t mean she loves you less. She’ll always be there for you. Promise. – Clark Kent, Action Comics #966

We need more fanfictions that are basically “my comic book reboot”

Like, essentially fans reboot a series of their choice and write it their way. Put all the stuff they love in there while making it something they’d proudly show to their friends and say “this is the series I love and am inspired by.”

Like, don’t just wait for the movie to come out or the next comic book reboot. Make it yourself and show it to people.

Make your own Spectacular Spider-Man, your own Ultimates, your own All-Star Superman, your earth ones, your year ones, whatever you like.

My Adventures with Superman is really cute! It’s fun, and after decades of superheroes being either snarky or brooding it’s so refreshing to get this version of Superman, who’s gentle, earnest, and kind in addition to his heroic characteristics. But what really stuck out to me on sitting down to watch the first two episodes of this show is how its opening scene, while short and simple, cuts to the core of what this show wants to get at with its approach to Superman.

The whole first episode is on YouTube, but I’m talking just about the opening two minutes:

Because the basic origin story of Superman is one so familiar within modern culture, adaptations like this can really use their opening scenes to show their audience what makes their version of this story distinct. Basically, because culture has already done the job, these stories can use their openings to focus on the why more than the what of the story they’re about to tell.

A great example of this is the first page of Morrison and Quitely’s All-Star Superman:

Morrison distills Superman’s origins to four panels and eight words. Doomed Planet. Desperate Scientists. Last Hope. Kindly Couple. These images communicate so much to the reader about the series they’re about to read! The emphasis on the cataclysmic destruction of Krypton tells us that the story we’re about to read is going to be a BIG sci-fi tale, a send-up to Silver Age comics. But these panels also emphasize the fundamental, emotional humanity at the core of Superman’s origin. This tale is one of deeply felt love, from Kal-El’s parents, who sacrifice their chance to escape to save the life of their son, to the Kents, who raise this boy from the stars as their own. Man, All-Star Superman ROCKS.

Back to the show! So obviously, this show doesn’t start with the destruction of Krypton: instead, we begin with a young Clark Kent, saving a mother and her child from a deadly car crash. Now, starting with Superman’s first use of his powers is a really strong way to start off this show, especially given that this show’s Superman is a young guy who hasn’t even started the superhero business yet.

But what I love most about this scene is how it shows the deep care for others that’s at the heart of the Superman story. Young Clark has no idea that he’s special, no clue that he’s an alien Moses/Jesus/Chosen One, and yet the instant that this car starts spinning out, he rushes into action to try to save these people. No ordinary person could ever just grab a car and stop it from slamming into a tree, but Clark tries anyway, because these people need help and, at his core, he knows that that’s all that matters.

And damn, that’s how I knew that these showrunners get Superman.
