Finally getting around to reading Superman and the Authority, but I had to stop in the middle of the first issue to say how much I love this costume and look in general.

"I read Superman and the authority for the plot"

The plot in question:

Also can I just mention his lil mom stance while dealing with Manchester being brat...he's so used to that behaviour already isn't he?

First panel of these two and they're already so married.

I'm so normal about them I swear.

Superman and the Authority

Really this entire comic can be labelled as “Boomer VS Gen Z.” Not really “VS” as in they are fighting each other, but more that they are challenging each others views.

This comic is about an older Superman, this Superman is still strong but can’t fly properly and is slowly losing his powers. Because of this he decides to enlist the help of some younger “heroes” to protect humanity while he cannot. The Justice League are mentioned, but only in the past tense so it’s unclear if they are still running.

Now Superman’s new team of younger heroes isn’t just younger heroes, but rather anti-heroes with his first recruit being Manchester Black. Now, Black originated from a comic about anti-heroes, comparing them to Superman and ending with Superman villainising the whole idea and defeating Black. That comic was about traditional heroes vs anti-heroes. One was a group of colourful heroes, fighting crime but never killing unless they had to, and protecting the world, the other was a group of edgy youngsters who believed some villains didn’t deserve second chances and needed to be put down. That comic was great but the main issue with the story was that Black and his Elite were partially right, and instead of hearing him out and making a compromise, Superman went straight to fighting.

Now, this comic brings that up. Black is the first person Superman recruits, personally choosing him as he reflects on his past, when he was in his prime and heroes were saving the day. He laments that they could’ve and should’ve done more, and he wants to listen to the younger generation now instead of turning away from him. That is, of course as long as Black doesn’t kill anyone.

Black initially disagrees to help. He hates Superman for their fight years ago and he doesn’t want anything to do with it… but… that’s a lie. He does want something to do with it. Despite still being edgy and all, he still wants to be a hero just like he did on his first outing. He still wants to save the day, and he still idolises Superman even if Superman blatantly disagreed with “his way.” So he turns around and agrees to help.

Now this is his chance to prove himself. There is no trickery, no betrayal, just an edgy, punk British dude and an aged superhero genuinely trying to save the day.

Now we get to the rest of the team. Now I’m going to use a word I hate, but I promise it’ll make sense and isn’t derogatory… this new Authority that Superman builds… it’s woke.

I believe this was intentional, again the story is about Boomers VS Gen Z, so it only makes sense that the group representing Gen Z also represents most of Gen Z’s stereotypes too. Manchester is bisexual, Midnighter & Apollo are gay, Steel is a black woman, Lightray is queer and Omac is genderfluid. Superman is the “boomer” in this situation, however he is also “woke.” He completely understands all of them, is completely okay with it and respects pronouns and such. He is an understanding person.

Half of this comic is just introducing the Authority and again, I believe that was the point. Superman mentions a threat he needs them all to deal with, but the threat itself is rather minuscule and doesn’t really matter because the focus is on the characters. You might think having your story be 90% introducing characters and 10% fighting is dumb, but the story is about the characters.

It’s about Superman’s lack of understanding on anti-heroes and his desire to learn from the younger generation. If the story was about Superman fighting Braniac for the 50th time, it could’ve just been a Justice League story. No, it’s about the characters, it’s about Manchester Black, and Enchantress’ desire to do good in a world that villainises them for their methods or just because of who they are and Superman is giving them an opportunity to prove themselves without worrying about any… *ahem* authority brushing them off. And y’know what? They all passed. Black, Enchantress, Midnighter, Apollo… They all succeeded in doing their assigned roles and proved to Superman that they truly wanted to do good.

One thing I should mention before ending this is there are some minor villains that are AI’s fed by the internet. These AI villains however, were fed by internet trolls and thus are racist, transphobic and homophobic and spend their minimal screen time shitting on “wokeness” in superhero content. Considering this is again, a story heavily focused on the passing of the torch down to Gen Z, having a villain be Redditors that hate wokeness and the younger generation is a nice touch.
