Clark Kent is not a coward, he just hates Superman. The reason he runs off every time disaster occurs is cause he knows Superman will be there soon and he can’t stand the guy.
Oh lord, the idea of a running gag of Clark having to come up with more and more elaborate reasons to hate the most beloved guy on Earth would be comedy gold.
“I loaned him thirty four bucks three weeks ago and he STILL hasn’t paid me back”
“I saw him littering once”
“He’s friends with an asshole like Batman!”
“We’re not friends anymore AND HE KNOWS WHY!”
Isn’t it canon that Clark infrequently writes anti-Superman op-eds, to the point where Lex Luthor sometimes invites him to come be the reporter at his PR stunts because he’s got him on a list of anti-Superman journalists?
Also think about it the other way around.
Superman, most beloved guy on Earth, having to field questions on why that one really sweet reporter from the Daily Planet hates him. Like it’s not even about the ‘Alien’ thing like with Luthor. It just seems personal.
He just scuffs his foot, looking bashful. “I don’t really wanna talk about it but I kinda deserve it.”
Rumours run rampant from Ex-Boyfriends to Stealing-Yo-Girl to Childhood Friends who did something real stupid but Clark was the only one to take the fall.
Bruce loves every minute and secretly perpetuates them. It’s the highlight of his week.
These pages have been going around a lot lately. It;s from a story I wrote for Wonder Woman’s 75th Anniversary Special, and I am reblogging to make sure that the artist/co-creator, Colleen Doran, gets proper credit for making Star-Blossom so adorable! 🙂
this is no joke an actual scene from the real show, batman finds out lex luthor is working with the joker and legitimately breaks into his house in the night to angrily glare at him
LEX IS USED TO SUPERMAN AND SUNNY SMILES OKAY SO WHAT IF HE’S A LITTLE JARRED AND HIS VOICE WOBBLES AND CRACKS THIS ISN’T HIS MODUS OPERANDI THIS ISN’T WHAT HE’S USED TO
