[off topic] There was a comic where someone slips Clark Kent information about an illegal plant dumping chemicals. He shows up as Superman and stops the crime, but the whistleblower is angry that Kent informed Superman instead of digging up the names of the real owners.
This is off topic, what does that scrawny journalist Clark Kent have to do with Superman?
Scrawny? Looks a bit overweight if you ask me.
He’s a corn fed Kansas boy, that probably all muscle.
Kansas farm boy, that’s critical. You don’t get that physique just by living in Kansas and eating corn all day, you gotta have those years of hard child labor, too.
Only problem is they wouldn’t be surprised their attempts failed. Nearly everything the CIA touches goes wrong.
They might be surprised when they slip 50x the lethal dose of a toxic only they know about into his food and he doesn’t even notice.
The CIA being completely fooled by the pair of glasses would be a pretty good take for a show series.
Metropolis is in the United States & Clark Kent is a US citizen, therefore the CIA cannot touch him. They just informally encourage the FBI to keep an eye on him.
I’m kinda wondering if this would actually work with the audience who knows Superman’s lore. It’d be like watching an episode of Blues Clues. “Gee, I can’t seem to figure out why those nineteen whole bullets that absolutely hit him square in the chest didn’t even slightly kill the guy.” “HE’S SUPERMAN YOU CONSUMMATE DINK!”
You say Blues Clues, but I was envisioning more Mel Brooks with the CIA sorta like Darth Helmet and President Skroob.
There’s no way something with this premise can take itself too seriously.
Seeing Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent reminds me how good he was and how I miss him.
I love Cavill but sorry he failed his acting of CK. With or without the costume he plays as Superman.
Still better than Brandon Routhe. Sorry Brandon, I’m sure you’re a nice guy, but your Superman sucked
