I felt like drawing them, so here is an idea I had after I found a pose ref I liked on Pinterest. :)

Upon watching Superman 2025, it made me think about how dumb Clark Kent wearing hypnosis glasses is. It made me think about how his disguise was already very believable to me before, on top of how hypno-glasses would only bring upon a whole slew of new problems. What if he's banging Lois Lane and the glasses slip off halfway through? She's just going to look up and see a whole ass other dude who she's never formally met? That feels a bit unethical, to me.

Why the disguise was already good:

Assuming that Superman is honest about his alien heritage, and the fact that his name is Kal-El, and that he has an ice castle somewhere in the North Pole: then people wouldn't think that he even has a secret identity in the first place.

Put yourself in the point of view of a citizen of Metropolis. You believe that you know his real name, where he's from, and where he lives - for he has directly disclosed this information to the public. What reason do you have to distrust him? (Unless said Metropolis citizen you chose to be was Lex Luthor I guess)

Also, I think we're forgetting that Clark Kent is a journalist. His job is to sit behind a desk and type out stories. Most people in Metropolis have no idea who this guy is, other than his personal friends and co-workers. Batman has a way harder time: seeing as he's a nationally famous billionaire, yet no one ever talks about how silly his disguise is.

And yeah, Clark Kent probably gets told he looks just like Superman a lot. I get told that I look just like John Travolta. I know a guy who looks exactly like Fidel Castro, and a lady who looks exactly like Julie Newmar. I'm sure you, the reader know someone who looks like a celebrity, or perhaps you yourself do. However, if someone were to openly be genuinely convinced that I was Vincent Vega in disguise, then I and everyone else around them would view them as very mentally unsound. This applies to those who would be genuinely convinced that Clark Kent is Superman, simply because they look the same.

Clark doesn't even need the glasses to maintain anonymity. They are just a smaller extra precaution, since he's hiding in plain sight, already.

But speaking of small extra precautions: I quite like how artists Frank Quietly and Tim Sale took it a step further, and made even more subtle things, like Clark Kent's posture and clothing play a big role in fortifying his disguise.

If he purposefully makes his posture shitty and wears baggy clothing, then it conceals his musculature and just makes him look fat or corn-fed.

Also Christopher Reeve being so good at switching between virgin and Chad, in one role definitely sells the disguise.

Was really pleased with how this turned out for a last minute costume! Threw it together in under three weeks when I realized my gender bent Two-Face wasn't going to be ready in time. Embarrassingly, I haven't read a single Punchline comic. Any recommendations?​​

I've been catching up on Abs. Batman and while I enjoy it, I feel like Snyder burnt through Batman's allies and rogues gallery too quickly. We're only at issue 25 (I can't see the series ending anytime before at least reaching #100, with how successful it is) and I think every A-tier and even B-tier character has already gotten their Absolute rendition. Who's left?

Guess Safran just accidentally leaked the mr miracle and big barda cast as well with Josh Hutcherson as Scott Free/Mister Miracle and Mackenzie Davis as Big Barda

During the Bronze Age, people including the Superman creative staff were asked to weigh in on whether Superman should marry Lois.

IGN: I want to be very delicate about how I ask this. Is there any scenario where Batman: Part Two doesn't start filming again?

Peter Safran: No.

there are 88 scripts i have collected. either a first draft that is different with the film, drafts from cancelled project, or unused spec scripts. you can read them all here https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1o7yFUIWVrsOt7YIee--yD4ciEiE1WBkF

I often associate DC's heroes with being the kind of "mascots" I guess for the common superpowers that show up in superhero media. The Flash for Super-Speed, Superman for Super-Strength, The Atom for shrinking, etc. 

But a staple superpower (or atleast one I consider to be) that isn't really that prevalent in DC is self-replication, With the only Billy Numerous from the 2003 Teen Titans series immediately coming to mind. Even outside of DC, western comic wise, the only characters to come to mind are Madrox from Marvel and Dupli-Kate from Invincible. Who none of I would even consider to be on the same tier of the examples I mentioned above. tbh the character I most associate with self-replication is probably Naruto

Absolute you say?

In Smallville, many members of the JSA were hunted down and murdered by Icicle Jr. or Icicle II who was under the employ of Amanda Waller as part of the Suicide Squad.

In Stargirl, many members of the original JSA were one-by-one murdered by Icicle Sr. who was the leader of the Injustice Society of America (ISA)

Had fun doing this quick drawing
