Tyler Hoechlin with the crew of the Jack and the Bean Coffee Company truck which he paid for for the day yesterday so the Superman and Lois cast and crew could get drinks.
Something I really appreciate about My Adventures With Superman is that I think it’s the best approach I’ve seen in a recent adaptation regarding Clark’s nature as a journalist.
Not only is the job afforded more plot utility in an adaptation where Clark doesn’t have all his powers cracked yet (so he can’t just hear/see everything to the point of literal omniscience), but it’s also a really smart choice to have reporting be something that Clark wants to do independent from any Superman-related stuff.
Clark never planned on becoming a superhero, but he did plan on being a reporter because journalism is a field that interests him. That immediately humanizes him and gives the viewer an emotional stake in the Daily Planet as a setting and aspect of Clark’s life that we should care about. It also immediately gives he and Lois as massive thing in common that their chemistry can then build out from naturally.
A lot of recent Superman adaptations seem to not know what to do with the Planet besides just having Clark BE there as a matter of obligation to source material, but this show has a clear, pointed purpose that lets it be the base for the whole series, and it’s a boon for Clark’s character across the board.
