Obsessed with the idea of people just adding 1 + 1 and getting 3 when it comes to Dick as a child, hanging out with Clark and Bruce. Because let's be honest, Dick is a carbon copy of Bruce and Clark.

Neighbour: That little slugger you got there is really something.

Pa Kent: Yeah, he's a cutie.

Neighbour: Takes after your boy, I was just telling the wife that the kid is literally the spitting image of Clark at that age.

Pa Kent: Well actually -

Clark: *bending down to high five Dick for hitting a home run*

Pa Kent, squinting: You don't say.

Barry: I don't know, it has to be some sort of Kryptonian magic biology or some weird tech but Robin is clearly-

Oliver: Oh, come on, Allen, that's not-

Clark, walking into the room sith Dick sat on his shoulders: You just worry too much, Bruce.

Bruce: I just don't consider Funions as a health snack for a growing boy.

Clark: Nag, nag, nag, am I right, Dick?

Dick: *giggling*

Olivier: Yeah... I get what you mean, Kent totally put that bun in that oven.

Alfred, on the phone: The little fella has chicken pox but there's no need to worry Mrs Kent. He should be right as rain in a few days.

Ma Kent: It's so odd, Clark was never sick as a child.

Alfred: Not to dismiss you, Mrs Kent but what does Master Kent's medical history have to do with Master Dick?

Ma Kent: Well, he's his son for a start.

Alfred:

Ma Kent:

Alfred: oh my god I thought it was just me.

Ma Kent: I'm sure Clark and Bruce will admit it soon, they're just taking their time. But it's obvious.

Alfred: Of course, Dick is the literal image of Master Bruce at that age.

Ma Kent: Are you kidding? He's the spit of my Clark. Now, focus, Alfred, does our grandson have a fever?

“Superman’s suit should be Kryptonian” “Ma Kent should make Superman’s suit at home” or how about the third fun option where the suit is the Kryptonian skinsuit BUT it gets damaged by Kryptonite and Ma Kent has to figure out how to sew/mend Kryptonian cloth that seems to have a mind of its own and won’t stop SQUIRMING.

Thousands of years of Kryptonian technology vs one Midwestern mom with her favorite show on? I’m putting my money on Ma.

As soon as I saw Ma Kent loud talking above her phone to make sure Clark could hear how proud she was, I immediately knew they fucking nailed it.

Oh my gosh, I love this scene! All the scenes showing his childhood are so heartwarming, but this one really gets to me cause just like- he's playing a game with his dad where he can fly and he still flies like that as a an adult? Amazing detail. I like to think he's pretending to be a super hero as a kid in this part and doing it while actually flying brings back that feeling. Gave a bit of emotional weight to the way he flies, which is crazy.

Superman (2025) makes me do so much happy crying at some of the little details it's actually insane.

ANOTHER thing about Martha and Jonathan Kent. Their house is so normal. In movies we always see the enormous very nice old farm house with two maybe 3 floors. That kind of thing comes from very old money generally. Passed down. But the average farmer? It ranges but generally where I grew up it was one story flat houses with rusted benches and cars that haven't moved in decades.

Even the house and the creaky door brings the Kent's down to reality. Because a majority of us that grew up in prairies and farms know those kinds of houses and old broken cement tiles in the early morning that never got replaced. Than we do massive 3 story houses and red barns and 60 horses. Some people do but those are big business wealthy farmers generally.

Smallville is no stranger to "Totally not a Metahuman" neighbors.

So! When Jonathan and Martha Kent one day turned up with a Baby, supposedly an at home birth despite the baby clearly being at least a year old and Martha have never had a baby bump, most of the town just went with it.

They assumed it was an Abandoned Baby situation, and the Kent's wanted to avoid all of the legal hurdles of adoption, so whenever asked they would say "Oh yeah, Martha definitely had a visible Baby Bump a few years ago." "Of course she had an at home birth, the town doctor will absolutely testify to helping deliver Clark." "Why does he look nothing like his parents? Genetics are weird and complicated, I'm a farmer, I don't study that shit, get off my lawn."

When they noticed that Clark was just a little stronger than most kids, they wrote it off.

When they noticed he could easily catch up to sprinting dogs when playing in the fields, they just praised him for his athleticism.

When one of them saw him jumping onto the roof of their house to get a Frisbee, they just told him to be careful.

Why were they so non-chalant about all of those things? Well because they had dealt with all that stuff and more a few years ago, when Mr Fenton and his daughter Ellie moved in.

It was practically the exact same situation, only in their case Daniel was there to help teach his daughter about how to use their clear Metahuman Powers. The Kent's weren't Metahumans, and before long they realized that they were out of their depth when raising a meta baby who could leap over a Barn in a single hop. So they went to Daniel for help.

And help he did, because in the following years they would attest to Daniel being the only reason they came out of Clark's childhood with their house intact.

He taught the boy how to control his strength so he wouldn't hurt others, how to restrain himself when he was excited so he wouldn't float off into the sky, and most importantly, how to keep it a secret when others not in the Know were around.

He told the story of how he and his daughter had come to Smallville, persecuted by the government and disowned by his own parents, forced to run away from everything he had ever known to keep himself and Ellie safe. It really made Clark appreciate his own Ma and Pa more than ever.

It also helped that he had "Cousin Ellie" to play with as a kid, since he always had to he careful around the other kids. It was honestly a relief to her as well, considering she could only ever play with her Dad or the Meta-Dog that visited their home once in a while.

Years later, when Clark was raising his own kid, he looked to his Uncle Daniel for guidance.
