I’m seeing people saying the new Superman movie is super pro-Pal and now I’m wavering on wanting to see it :/

Superman was made and created by Jews, as a lot of comic book heroes are, so now that they’re going in to purposefully make them go against those very values and origins, it’s very disheartening and disappointing. Superman wouldn’t choose sides, he would be supporting Israel too, he wouldn’t be wanting any innocents to die

We've already talked about Superman 2025. The details of the movie line up much better to Russia/Ukraine than Israel/Gaza. The movie was also mostly written before October 2023. Jewish fans seem quite happy with the movie.-🐞

So for That Certain Crowd, which part of Boravia was too subtle? The president saying "da" and "nyet" or the buildings in Boravia having onion domes?

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Vigilante

Greg Saunders had been a country western singer and rodeo performer whose father was tragically murdered by bandits.  Donning a mask, Saunders became the Vigilante, utilizing his ‘cowboy skills’ to bring the perpetrators to justice.  He continued on in the role the Vigilante, fighting crime across the country and was later recruited by into the Justice League in the wake of the Thanagarian invasion.  

As a member of the League, Vigilante often found himself paired with fellow hero, The Shinning Knight.  Although the two had little in common they nonetheless went on to become great friends. His quick thinking and marksmanship proved quite handy on several missions, including the battle against Mordru, the Dark Heart, taking on Task Force X, defending the Watchtower from the invading army of Ultimen and taking on the threat of General Eiling. 

The Vigilante additionally aided Shayera Hol in fending off an assassination attempt by rogue Thanagarian warriors. He later participated int he final confrontation against the forces of Darkseid.

The always great Nathan Fillion provided the voice for The Vigilante, with the hero first appearing in the debut episode of Justice League Unlimited, ‘Initiation.’

mattfoggy from the like 2016 daredevil show were actually so crazy bc like. you’re best friends, you’re each others emergency contacts, everything that you’ve built for yourself as an adult is something you built together, and yet at the same time. your best friend has been lying to you since the day you fucking met. you know each other better than truly anyone else in the whole fucking world, and there is a fundamental piece of his existence that he never told you about. this shit could ruin everything you’ve built, could get him killed, and he didn’t tell you a word of it.

and on the flipside: here’s the one person you’ve ever gotten close to without getting abandoned, and you can’t even bring yourself to be fully honest with him bc how could he ever stay if you were. and he finds out and he leaves, bc of course he does, and you let him, bc it’s probably for the best and he can do what he fucking wants. you’re not gonna twist his arm to get him to fucking love you. but he comes back, and you both keep coming back through everything that follows, bc who else is going to know you like this?? what could ever fill the hole they’d leave behind??? everything you’ve built you’ve built together. how could you ever actually leave that behind?

may I ask for cloissteel propaganda... I love poly!clois ships and bi4biclois and this isn't one I've heard of before (mainly because. I know nothing about steel. but this is why I'm asking you alfjskfjd)

(ofc only do this when you have energy have a nice day 🙏)

lord ive been meaning to sit down and come up with a whole cloissteel reading list but i think i need to accept that im not doing that until i commit to doing a reread of the whole superman triangle era, because i WILL end up doing that if i start going through man of steel again. that being said. superman triangle era baybee it's the best everrrrr

okay. so. my lazy answer: a bunch of favorite panels and things

during the follow up to the millenium giants stuff, when blueperman and superman red are doing some fuck shit with the earth's core, we get:

he just fuckign scoops her.

during an arc where superman has gotten kidnapped by aliens (...again), j'onn asks who wants to help rescue him, and here's john henry's response:

after the rescue also we get this delightful bit of john henry tenderly cradling clark's face:

later when john henry is testing out new armor stuff clark just uh... shows up to hit on him i guess?

lois, clark (first as superman) and john henry also work together and hang out a bunch during various plots in "man of steel"!! and then we get this:

and then this:

he literally already knew. he was just waiting for clark to tell him himself. i love u john henry irons. and nat's "mr lane must be a very understanding guy." okay!

also shoutout to lois's face here.

this is a woman thinking about putting the moves on her man, 2x combo.

AND this is not even getting into EVERYTHING about supersteel in owaw and the superfam stuff leading into "superman vs darkseid: apokolips now!" which is like the superfam issue of all time, to me. but oh man oh man. these 3... they are sooooo good. augh!!!!

[fandom-writing-promptorrequest]

SteelClois is funny because you think the alien that crashed down to Earth with superhuman power is the weird one but the shit Lois and John Henry pulled are too goofy even by human standards!!

John Henry fakes his death to not be found by the corrupt company he once worked for because he had destroyed every piece of information of his powerful weapons and the stunts Lois pulls to get the truth of her story from jumping off buildings to hijacking a plan and faking a wedding to stop a drug ring.

Clark was born like that meanwhile Lois and John Henry made decisions where they thought 'yeah, these are a normal things people do/ should do".

They would tell Clark a batshit wild idea with a smile on their face and Clark stares back in slight horror but nods along

i wish modern writers would stop making kryptonians evil, baby girl they were an entire species, are you really trying to sell me on the idea that superman is only good cuz he was raised outside of his birth culture??

I wonder if NASA and other space agencies in the DC universe pester the Green Lanterns for help

Like, they probably do that to Superman and Martian Manhunter too, but Clark and J’onn can at least say they don’t leave Earth very often (regardless of how true that statement may be for them). But the GLs can’t use that excuse because NASA knows they're the space cops

If the Justice League has contact information like a hotline or an email, you can bet your ass that NASA is blowing it up with stuff like "um excuse me mr. space policeman our rover got stuck on mars can you pwease dust her off so that her solar panels can work again??"

Are you normal or do you spend entirely too much time thinking about how the Manhunters represent not just the Guardians' arrogance but also the inherent failure of top-down law enforcement? And conversely, how the Green Lanterns represent what a police force should look like?

Even if you're going by the most generous interpretation of the Guardians of the Universe as well-meaning but naive masters, the Manhunters are a seriously questionable choice. A homogenous army of powerful drones that are designed to follow orders and enforce their creators' will without question? Oliver Queen would call this a fascist's wet dream, and he'd be right.

The Manhunters are only a force for good so long as the one giving their orders is interested in doing good. All it takes is one bad actor to subvert that system into a tool for evil, as we see with Krona reprogramming the Manhunters to slaughter the entirety of Sector 666.

To their credit, the Guardians do learn from their mistakes. They replace their lethal tools with a Corps recruited from the citizens of the universe they are sworn to protect. Rather than mindless automatons, the Green Lanterns are a diverse organization that brings together sentient life from across countless civilizations for the shared purpose of protecting innocents from those that wish to do them harm. Even their primary tool, the power ring, was programmed to detect and thwart lethal intent, a stark contrast to the deadly weapons carried by the Manhunters.

I do think it's worth mentioning that the original version of the Manhunters weren't reprogrammed into committing genocide. Rather, they simply gained sentience and decided that they cared more about hunting down and punishing what they saw as evil than enforcing justice. And because they were of one mind, not a single one of the Manhunters disagreed with this.

In older continuities, the Guardians even forbade the Green Lanterns from fraternizing with each other to prevent even a hint of that same sort of conspiracy.

But as we see time and time again, the Green Lanterns stand up for what is right, even if it is against one of their own. Every time one of them abuses their power, even if they are considered the greatest of the Corps, their fellow Green Lanterns are the first to stand in their way. There is no "thin green line," no turning a blind eye to the misdeeds of their comrades

or even their masters.

Calling these guys "space cops" is honestly an insult. The Green Lanterns swear an oath to never let evil escape their sight, and they damn well mean it, even if that evil is within their own ranks or from their leadership. Hell, in most continuities they don't even get paid for the work they do. They're literally volunteers who are willing to and regularly make the ultimate sacrifice for others.

This is why the Green Lantern Corps is respected across the universe. For all their flaws and failures, they have the courage and will to keep themselves accountable when others would not.

incredibly funny to me that Tim, in the manner of all teens, is like "well I know my dad is worried about me so I better tell him I ran away and snuck back into my disaster zone of a hometown that's been cut off from the United States. he'll be mad but I'll tell him I'm okay and I'm sure that'll reassure him. how worried could a parent REALLY be" and then three hours later Jack has called every elected official in America and is on Dateline begging for the return of his boy

Maybe fully body suits, trunks, and capes were just what the style on Krypton was. Stop being so ethnocentric and embrace the undies smh.

my older cousin, the memories i could’ve shared

Also question about the whole “translating Superman’s parents’ message” thing that Lex does. Who is translating and how are they translating Kryptonian? It is a language from a whole other planet. Unless they have words that are similar to words of a language used on earth, how on earth did they translate the entire second part? What are the linguistics of that?

i dont think the queer community fully understands how isolating it is to be a queer slav and seeing the fucking hammer and sickle fucking everywhere

not only did our families live through the horror that was the ussr but now we gotta be reminded of that shit constantly in the community that we're supposed to share as queer people

not to mention that the ussr wasnt even communist it was just fascist. why are u communists using the symbols of fascists. it just looks like ur idolizing a fascist state.

i just inherently do not trust anyone using the hammer and sickle nor the ussr flag as symbols of their communist ideologies
