Flash and Bruce Banner would be the kind of friends to give each other thumbs up all the time, and check on each other to see if they’ve eaten enough that day.

Spider-man and Nightwing would grab fast food, hang out above the city in a web, and challenge each other to see who could do the most consecutive backflips on a rooftop.

green lantern and the guardians of the galaxy would look at each other like “AW FUCKING DAMMIT, THESE ASSHOLES!”

I feel like Steve and Clark would be best friends but Tony and Bruce would hate each other

Thor and Diana would totally be drinking buddies

Guys, it got so much freaking worse. KOSA is bad, but SCREEN is even worse, somehow.

"Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries and apply it nationally to the internet.

Any site that has any amount of material "harmful to minors" would be forced to employ surveillance tech (biometric scans, ID uploads, background checks) to prevent minors from accessing "pornography."

You will not be surprised to learn that this is backed by the Heritage Foundation.

Unlike some of the state age-verification laws, many of which are being challenged in court, SC will be enforced by the FTC, which has the ability to levy fines, raid business and freeze bank accounts. Yes, meaning that even non-for-profits like Ao3 will suffer.

This is something for all US users to keep on their radar. Call your reps, call your senators, and spread the word to protect our archive!"

- When talking with Republicans play up the fact that this would force Elon to implement age verification systems on X (yes do call it X during the call). Elon's been threatening to primary Republicans who stand in his way so there's fear of him. Also play up concerns about "Liberals" doxxing people or Chinese hackers.

- When talking with Democrats, play up the connections to Project 2025 and suggest voters will not be happy to see Democrats siding with it.

Spoilers for the 2025 Superman movie up ahead

Well obviously Superman wouldn't ACTUALLY try to take over the world, and form a harem of women to bare his children....

but even if he did...

If this version of Superman wanted to be king I'd be willing to hear his pitch out.

I'm not saying he'd get an instant yes out of me but you know, describe to me what his new world order is going to look like, is all I'm saying.

Keep in mind I'm specifically talking about THIS version of Superman. Not Justice lord, or injustice Superman. If he's going to go the viltrumite method and kill off or lobotomize any and all opposition, I'm not cool with that.

And this harem thing, I want to know, is it a volunteer position? What kind of benefits are being offered to birth the next generation of Earthing-Kryptonian hybrids?

I'm just saying, how many other monarchs or world leaders put themselves on the front line of an attack to defend their people, or literally scoop their subjects out of danger. I think people would be happier with King Charles if he was flying around Britain doing good deeds for his citizens.

I know we are all used to hear bad news from the USA or UK when it comes to trans rights but this time Germany wants to play in the same league.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.

You know, i took me a while to realize this, but i feel like out of every version of Superman, MAWS probably would be one of the few who would at first understand Batman's Contigency plans for the Justice League, heck i bet he would be the one to suggest such the plans himself. I mean he did learn about other versions of himself which were evil, not to mention the fact, Brainiac posessed his body, not to mention that while i does seem like it would break the team's trust, it does seem necessary to have such plans.

I dunno, I think there are some versions of Superman learning that Batman has contingency plans where he takes it pretty maturely.

I think that MAWS Superman would come around pretty fast, but I can imagine him being pretty offended as his initial reaction. It also depends on the context.

Is Clark finding out about them when they're being used as intended, a la immobilizing him from doing something he'd regret in his right state of mind? He'd be grateful for that.

Is it a 'tower of babel situation where Clark finds out about them after Batman is hacked by an enemy? He'd be rightfully upset over that.

As for him being the one to suggest it to Batman? I don't think Clark thinks about his possible evil selves. That train of thought gets him spinning so he tends to avoid dwelling on the matter when it's not immediately in his face.

[madametamma]

I have no idea where this fic would go, just a bunch of scenes spinning around in my head.

MAWS Superman has no idea who the rest of the Justice League is. Upon recognizing that he is in an alternate universe, his first instinct is to see if he can find his alternate universe versions of his friends to help. He finds Jimmy first and poor red headed Jimmy is much more mind blown than he is helpful upon learning of the situation.

DCAU Supes has had experience with alternate universes before and they went very badly. He's expecting the worst. He keeps being mildly surprised that things aren't bad just different.

DCAU Supes keeps trying to ditch MAWS Jimmy and Lois to focus on his mission and that is proving to be much more difficult than expected.

The DCAU Justice league also are afraid for the worst with an alternate Clark in their Clark's body. He gets away from them and they come off as a little too aggressive trying to get him back to the watch tower. Situations are escalated.

DCAU Superman discovers that this version of Lois knows about his secret identity when She makes this beautiful speech about how much she loves all of him, Alien, Farm boy, dork, intelligent journalist and all, and it leaves him absolutely speechless. Hearing a version of Lois say those words to him fills a need inside him that he didn't realize he had until that moment.

MAWS Superman in the DCAU thinks that now he has to pretend to be that universe's Clark until he can find a way back home. DCAU Lois asks if he's feeling okay because he seems a bit off and he responds by reassuring her everything is fine, taking her by the hands and giving her a quick peck on her knuckles, thinking this is what this universe Clark would do, not knowing that they're her and Clark are not dating and she doesn't know about his secret identity.

Upon discovering that someone else is in Clark's body, Kara is ready to throw hands with him.

DCAU Justice League Superman and 'My adventures with Superman' Superman exchange bodies and universes

Here's the set up. There's trouble running rampant across universes. A villain who is able to take over the body of his alternate universe selves (Think Everything everywhere all at once) has run rampant on a crime spree over the DCAU and escaped. The league has tracked it down to the MAWS universe and to find him and take him into custody. They use his own technology to follow him and DCAU Clark is now in MAWS Clark's body and universe.

The villain had no intention of ever returning to his previous universe so he cut himself off from there, but because DCAU always intended to return home, he essentially left the door open. By doing so, MAWS Clark now has access to his body and universe.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

you know, maybe the internet shouldn’t be controlled by payment processors and terf lobbyists. and maybe people should be more concerned about this rise of censorship on queer media.

[madametamma]

Just curious, if the police department is against him, what would you do with the concept of the Bat signal? How would he be summoned?

Maybe instead of it being on the police department roof he gave the signal to Gordon specifically, or it's in an area of town where only the most desperate families know about it and share the location info via word of mouth.

I just personally love the concept of being able to summon him by shining a light up into the dark sky, that everyone from miles around can look up and see it and know he'll be on his way, and I hope that in this version something is done with that.

Getting into American superhero comics with characters that have been around for decades has given me a new kind of appreciation for art and storytelling. I have been familiar with remakes and adaptations before but nothing to this extent. I NEEDED to adjust to the idea that I was going to be seeing characters I love in different portrayals. Some that seem radically different to one another.

I've come to understand my own preferences and ways that I prefer to see them. I've come across versions that I do not like AT ALL and have come to accept those were just some people's interpretations, and they're allowed to have them. They don't diminish the versions that I love and can still return to, and I know that there will be new versions that I love that will also come my way eventually. There will be perspectives on characters that I will love that haven't even been imagined yet. I even find myself quite fond of else world stories where the characters are wildly different.

Adaptations, remakes, and re-imaginings are beautiful, fun features of the genre, right guys?

guys?

Fellow Superhero fans?

Come on, there's no way most other fans of superheroes haven't also come to this realization, right?

.........Right?
