Flirting with your wife on public social media may be a bad idea, mostly because everyone will misinterpret your inside jokes and sense of humour.

Why do the weirdest things always happen while Clark is busy in space? [Image IDs in alt text!]

(Part One)

[superfam]

Thanks to his friendship with Superman, I feel like Jimmy Olsen is a bit of a Twitter microcelebrity.

Both he and Lois Lane are verified. Clark Kent isn't.

(The comic panel of Superman and the woman with the cat is from Superman: Up in the Sky, Issue #5)

The grand finale of this arc in the Supertwt Extended Universe. Eventually, this Twitter moment goes the direction of all Twitter moments: capitalism happens, and people lose interest. [ID in alt text!]

[Image One: A fake tweet by 'LexCorp', which is a verified account with the handle @ LexCorp. Their icon is the LexCorp logo in the style of the DCAU (a triangle with a section cut out of its right side to form an L, with 'LEXCORP' written beneath in geometric letters) except there has been a pride flag overlaid the background. The tweet reads, "During this #PrideMonth, LexCorp is committed to stand with and celebrate the LGBTIQ+ community. We are determined to foster a culture which is accepting and inclusive, and recognises all backgrounds and identities. From our family to yours, take #Pride!". It was posted 11:43am, on June 2, 2017, from the Twitter Web App. It has 43.2k retweets, 54.2k quote tweets, and 211.9k likes.

The first is by '🍀 juney🍀 // no lex at pride 🏳️‍🌈', whose handle is @ superedman and whose icon is Superman from the DCAU holding up a peace sign.

Read more about it in today's morning edition of @ DailyPlanet." It was posted at 10:09am on June 4th, 2017, from the Twitter Web App. It has 42.6k retweets, 18.9k quote tweets, and 114.8k likes.

The rumour mill for Superman runs fast and without mercy. On a completely unrelated note, I've been reading some Golden and Silver Age comics.

Supertwt: Meet the Cast

Because this is getting out of hand. I may add more to this later as more characters are inevitably introduced.

(If you're new, start here)

> 🍀 juney🍀 (@ superedman)

Juney grew up at the same time Superman had just appeared in Metropolis, and therefore has been a lifelong Superman fan since she was eleven. She's in her 20s now, a gatekeeper and purist, and Kal will always be her favourite. She's Metropolis born-and-raised, loves The Daily Planet, hates Lex Luthor, and doesn't like most heroes from other cities. She has a bad habit of jumping to conclusions about other people and acting as if her opinion is always correct. Nevertheless, she is a BNF (Big Name Fan) with many followers and many controversies.

> goose🦢 (@ jimmjam101)

Goose is an aspiring photographer who first got really into Superman and co. through Jimmy Olsen's photos and tweets, and who is The Daily Planet's biggest fan. He lives in a smaller city near Metropolis, and once was #exposed on Supertwt for not being from Superman's home city. Very rarely takes things seriously, the creator of many memes on Supertwt, but earnestly believes in the ideals of Supes and co. Has numerous alts. Mutuals with Juney.

> lou💙❤️️ (@ louloulucyy)

Lou is 16 years old. This explains much of their Twitter. They are essentially the kid still in the 'helplessly idolising Superman' phase, and would do anything and everything for him. Full of Metropolis pride, they hate Gotham, Batman, and Battwt with a passion. Probably has a crush on Kon, as many kids in Metropolis do (he's just so cool). Makes Superfamily fancams.

> lonny🔮 (@ NOTA_HERO)

Unrelated to the DC comics character Anarky/Lonnie Machin, because it was 1am when I invented this character and I forgot he exists. Supertwt Lonny is a woman who shouts online about her superhero theories when she's not working long hours. She got a few things right back in the day, usually about the science-y stuff (she's a lab tech), which gave her some authority within the online community, but lately she's really been going off the rails. Has no respect for the privacy of superheroes and fervently wishes to uncover their identities and personal relationships.

> EXTRA: The Lexbots

Though it's more of an urban legend than anything officially confirmed, there's a lot of speculation that Lex Luthor has a bunch of bots vying for him on Twitter. 'Lexbot' has become a common accusation for any account which is suspiciously empty and seems to only spend their time defending Lex. Eventually, it escaped this specific definition and has become an insult for anyone who bothers defending Lex Luthor, especially as the evidence against him mounts.

"SILENCE, LEXBOT" -juney
