Villain swaps Bruce and Clark minds.

Bruce: I get the "man of steel" now. *Punches villain*

Clark: Why...Why...WHY ARE YOU SO MUCH IN PAIN ?!

Bruce: What do you mean ? I took a 12 hours break yesterday, I'm as fresh as a newborn.

thinking about Clark's indestructible skin and how it annoys you to hell and back that he leaves you with all sorts of marks and you can't even leave one so you ask Bruce's help and he's more than happy to oblige because who doesn't wanna mess with their best friend?

so he makes you a special nail polish that has kryptonite dusted into the shade. it's a pretty emerald colour and you get acrylics with it to make sure it's extra sturdy

needless to say, the throaty moan that leaves him the moment the nails score his chest as he fucks into you imprinted in your mind instantly-

Superman and Lois in Absolute Superman

[viking-raider]

In the scene where Solo and KuryakIn (Cavill and Hammer) escape from the factory, Solo (Henry Cavil) swims to safety and ends up hiding in a truck. His wet hair falls onto his forehead in the distinctive 'S' shaped cowlick always depicted on Superman in the comic books. This was done purposely by Guy Richie as an homage to Cavil's Man of Steel Character

New To Superman?

*Swivels around in villain chair petting a cat

So, you just caught up with My Adventures with Superman and you want to know what to read or watch while you wait for new episodes? SAY NO MORE! Here’s a list of personal faves of mine!  Now some notes, different writers have different takes in different decades and the publishers can play it fast and lose with continuity. So going from one story to another, you might notice some changes. Like weather or not Clark’s parents are alive or if Lois dating Clark etcetera etcetera. Don’t worry about it, just roll with it.

Now lets get started with THE SUPER LIST! 

Superman: Birthright 

A solid starting point graphic novel. It’s got everything ya need for his origin story and is a fantastic character study of Clark and his arch enemy Lex Luthor. The art is pretty good as well and does a great job of showing both sides of Clark’s character and power. If you love the show and want to see how the books handle the Man of Steel’s first run in Metropolis then you got yourself a fun book.

Next we’ll get into some movies! Now, you can watch most of these on hbomax so let’s all vote with our wallets and support the official release! That way studios don’t make us wait ANOTHER 20 years for a Superman cartoon. 

Superman: Unbound 

Superman faces a cosmic alien super computer named Brainiac! Braniac’s deal is he wants to put cities in small bottles and then blow up the rest of the planet he collects them from. It’s a cool conflict cuz it’s a villain Superman can’t just PUNCH into submission. As Braniac can just download into another body if he did. So Superman is gonna have to get super smart to out smart a super computer..... listen the movie’s writing is better than mine, trust me.

Superman Vs The Elite

Oh, here we GO! Okay so this full movie is based on ONE issues of the comics. ONE. Not a 6 part mini series arc collected into one trade paperback. ONE COMIC! It was THAT GOOD! Superman meets some new heroes on the block, THE ELITE. They’re GRITTY and DARK and SERIOUS ANTI HEROES who aren’t afraid to KILL the bad guys! They’re also here to try and force Superman to retire his wholesome way of saving the day. This movie has amazing action animation and phenomenal writing that shows why the core character of Clark being kind still resonates with audiences when given the chance. (You’ve probably seen the big speech from this movie passed around youtube a lot and rightly so. This is a good one, go watch it!) Now, Superman has one of the all time iconic origin stories, but how does his story end? Well lots of writers have tried their hands at it. A few of them are good but my personal fave is probably ALL STAR SUPERMAN

Lex Luthor finally finds a way to beat Superman, but Clark isn’t going down without a fight and without saving as many lives as he can. It’s a grand all star parade of all the wild and wacky pulp adventure camp that has built up around the legacy of the Last Son of Krypton. If you want a satisfying conclusion to Superman’s story then it’s hard to top this one. Heck the book is also pretty damn good too! 

There is... a LOT of Superman content. 80 years worth to be exact. This list is far from complete and is only meant to serve as a starting point for diving into all this Super Lore. I for one am glad My Adventures With Superman seems to have lit a fire under the fanbase and I’m happy to welcome all you new readers and watchers to one of my all time favorite Superheroes.  HONERABLE MENTIONS! 

SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN! It’s exactly what the title says. Go read it! It’s inspired by the old school radio show (podcasts for your grandparents) that had REAL WORLD IMPACTS in the USA. 

Finally, the 40′s Cartoons

These are a BIT dated and light on actual plot and character but there’s a retro charm to some of these.  Okay, That’s enough from me. What are YOUR top recommendations for new fans? Let me know in the reblogs!

Nightwing & Flamebird: From Birds to Heroes to Gods

Nightwing and Flamebird have changed since their first appearance 60 years ago and a lot of these changes only came about because Clark created and told their story. 

Native Birds of Krypton

Nightwing and Flamebird first appear in Superman (1939) #158 as native birds of Krypton. Nightwing seems to be modelled after a Raven, while Flamebird shares most of its characteristics with parrots but has the headfeathers of a cockatoo. They both appear again in Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #69, but the colour of Flamebird’s feathers has changed slightly. While it was initially an orange and yellow bird, green feathers got added to its wings.

A year after the first appearance of Nightwing and Flamebird, Jor-Ell II and Kal-El II, the two sons of an alternate universe Clark, take up the mantles of Nightwing and Flamebird to stop a mysterious raider. They are aware that their father and Jimmy were Kandor’s Dynamic Duo and derived their names from the birds. Nightwing and Flamebird appear once again, but this time not in captivity. The birds are temporarily resized by the villain of the story. By now, Flamebird has even more green in its design. (Superman (1939) #166)

Legendary Heroes

Clark inspired Dick to take up the identity of Nightwing in Tales of the Teen Titans (1884) #44, and in Secret Origins (1986) #3 Bette Kane took on the Flamebird identity because of her crush on Dick Grayson. Sadly, nothing seems to connect her to the Kryptonian origin of the name.

Nightwing and Flamebird as a duo don’t appear again until Superman: The Man of Steel (1991) #111 over 30 years after their last team-up appearance. It is unclear whether the original human Nightwing and Flamebird were still Clark and Jimmy in this altered reality. What is known is that the two heroes fought for justice for all living beings. 

Another five years go by until Nightwing is mentioned once more by Clark in the pages of Nightwing (1996) #102. Clark introduces the hero as having lived on Krypton centuries before Clark’s birth. While Dick was cast out by Batman, Nightwing was cast out by his family. He fought for justice and helped the weak. There’s no mention of Flamebird.

Children of Rao

In 2009 Nightwing and Flamebird were introduced as Gods of the modern Kryptonian pantheon. They are creations of Rao, who is the prime divine entity observed in Kryptonian religion and was introduced just a decade prior in 1999.

Flamebird's original purpose was to destroy the creations of her brother Vohc in order to inspire him to create greater works, while Nightwing was tasked to hunt down the evils which hid from Rao in the shadows. Nightwing and Flamebird later fell in love and established a union.

The appearance of Nightwing and Flamebird shifts. Sometimes they look more like phoenixes, other times they are as burly as modern western dragons. 

The Winged-Ones appearing in Krypton Chronicles (1981) might have served as an inspiration for the dragon God designs. In addition, the comic reveals that Rao and his children represent the modern Gods of Krypton. There were ancient Kryptonian deities before them.

The next time Nightwing and Flamebird get mentioned is in Grayson (2014) Annual #2. It's the first time Clark tells Dick about both heroes. Flamebird still represents destruction, while Nightwing became the rebuilder.
