I listened to Crazy Stupid Podcast’s review of Superman 2025, and one of the hosts said:

“Superman is a firefighter, not a cop.”

And it blew my mind, because yes!

Like, I knew! But having it said plainly cut through the heart of it.

It’s why Frank Miller writing Superman working for the US government didn’t sit right for me.

(This is years after the afterglow of The Dark Knight Returns comic, and batman beating Superman and then finally realized, wait…)

Because Superman shouldn’t be tied to one nation. It’s why Superman’s logo has been changed to “Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow.”

(This will also have its own problems because as Lois points out in the Superman movie. And seems to be the larger through line across the DCU.)

But yeah, in Superman’s first outing in 1978, he saved a cat up a tree BECAUSE he is more firefighter than crime fighter, which is what Batman is.

He will stop crimes when he can but what Clark’s whole thing is: Saving lives.

capture the shoop! (sheep loop)

They love being chased in my expert opinion, trust

attention AND physical touch?? Reinforcement that you're real?? And alive???
