#the clark kent effect

[bbbbbbbbatman]

Bruce and Clark start dating and Clark finds himself spending more time around the batkids and whenever he's losing an argument he just says "yeah? well I fucked your dad."

It's very effective.

#it deals instant psychic damage #the kids still have not found a good response #clark tries not to be a petty person but he does enjoy the intense reactions his words evoke #it's especially effective on damian who can't even argue that bruce isn't technically his dad #tim tried 'well i fucked your son' once but it just doesn't have the same impact #batman #bruce wayne #superman #clark kent #superbat #dc #dc comics #mine #batfam

the “Crowley is Malleus’ father” theory makes no sense simply because have you SEEN Crowley????

ARE Y’ALL IMPLYING THIS MAN IS BRIAR VALLEY NOBILITY??? THIS MAN PULLED MALLENOA??? THIS MAN LEFT TO GET MILK FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS WHILE MALLEUS WAS MARINATING INSIDE THAT EGG???

THAT GUY???????????

#took an entire new identity to avoid child support #wouldn’t Lilia have recognized him or does that mask have the Clark Kent effect? #but oh well considering he can’t even find MC a way home #not surprising he’d forget his own way home #but ON THE SAME NOTE!!! WHAT IF MC/YUU’s ARRIVAL AS WELL AS GRIM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS ENTIRE THING #THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF CONNECTION BETWEEN MC + GRIM + MALLEUS + CROWLEY #twst spoilers #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland #twst #dire crowley #twst crowley #malleus draconia #twst malleus #my posts

it’s SO FUCKING FUNNY to me that hyde keeps being referred to as “young hyde”. that man is 50. he is fully middle aged. is he just frantically moisturizing and applying retinol the moment he gets to be in charge? does being an asshole give him a youthful glow? 

#to be fair i dont know how the transformation works since we havent gotten to that point yet #ive been assuming its somehow like a clark kent taking his glasses off situation #but also. would be so fucking funny #if jekyll basically found a youth potion and its a sidenote to whatever else hes got going on #like yes i am younger now but the side effect is that i am an impulsive asshole #jekyll and hyde weekly #jekyll and hyde #deer chatters

It really isn't a case of him hating Superman, but having a very poor understanding of the actual character beyond the visuals.

Snyder's Superman is all about the imagery and iconography. He likes lifting stuff directly from the comics he thinks looks cool, but never shows much interest in going any deeper than that. His Superman is a model, there to pose for all his pretty pictures and do as little talking as possible. It's no coincidence that Cavill has fewer and fewer lines with each movie (just 13 lines in a 4 hour JL movie) because Snyder also thinks superheroes talking to each other is just too silly.

Snyder doesn't hate Superman, he just isn't interested in the character or idea of Superman, only the image of Superman, and if he could make it an r-rated image for one of his trademark director's cuts all the better.

#superman #man of steel #batman v superman #justice league #clark kent #zack snyder #dc comics #dceu #he was effectively a hired gun for mos #coming off a string of flops and sticking to the script #but once they gave him more and more creative control superman's character got increasingly pushed to the sidelines #his role in the jl movies was going to be nothing more than a plot device #a weapon for either the heroes or villains to use

I know 'person with secret to hide spots other person with secret to hide but doesn't say anything' is like. Thee trope in superhero crossovers, but come on! Some of these guys have been doing this for decades! There's tons of heroes that have gone to pretty extreme lengths to be Completely Imperceptible in civilian life.

Don't you think it's scarier, after all is said and done, to sit there and think I didn't notice a thing? I wouldn't have ever realised? I would never have known? To know that someone you were familiar with - close with, even! - had this whole other personality and skillset and powers and experiences and life just behind the curtain, and they hid it so completely you didn't even see it was there.

'I always knew there was something off' what if you didn't. How world shaking would it be to be so utterly blindsided? To know that this person had somehow learned to so deceptive?

#Strongly inspired by the dp x dc where Danny knows what up IMMEDIATELY or a bat clocks Danny as super suspicious within mins of meeting #Or the amount of reveal fics caused by the hero slipping up in some stupid way and getting themselves doxxed against their will #Like come on!! Full time heroes like superman or batman or Spidey go to great lengths to construct an entirely separate civilian persona! #And yes I know they've had their idiot moments when it comes to their identities but they've kept their secret rock solid for irl DECADES #What's an identity reveal without drama!! Shake it up! Stir the pot! Not a slow and gradual build up of suspicion and stress #But two high speed trains coming at right-angles and the audience is the only one who can see the incoming crash #Twist the knife in if you want. Make it HURT. Make it completely rewrite what they believed. #Short ID reveals are great for this because you can SEE the ripple effects spreading out as the story ends. Just BANG. #But also no ID reveal at all. The main character goes through the story regularly interacting with and developing character right alongside #A hero in hiding and no one is ever the wiser. You're a worker in WE fending off attempts to steal your inventions and Bruce Wayne #Invites you to his office to discuss security and he walks you back to your office when you get nervous about a break in. #You're struggling with school bullies and getting into trouble over your photography hobby and Peter Parker is right there alongside #You complaining about rich kids and fiddling with the outdated finicky lenses you got from the school. #You're a reporter unpicking a mystery scandal and you ask resident tank Clark Kent if he's able to play bodyguard if you go somewhere shady #The reader knows. No one else notices a thing. #And besides focusing on the civilian side is a nice change of pace! Let's see how they manage leading double lives! #What do I even tag this #batman #superman #Marvel #Dcu #spiderman #secret identity #identity reveal #long tags #captain marvel #miraculous ladybug #I know I know #hero and villain

dc comics presents 72, “superman and the phantom stranger and the joker: madness in a dark dimension!” 1984, script paul kupperberg, pencils alex saviuk, inks dennis jensen, colors gene d’angelo, letters milt snapinn

#clark's dialogue meh but. #the thing about lettering is that you don't notice it until you do and it conveys effectively that the joker is. shitting himself #clark kent #joker #also not shown but the next panel is an arkham guard standing there going uhh superman...? the door?

Honestly would not put it past Bruce to have invented some kind of worldwide mass hypnosis-inator that makes it impossible for anyone to connect the dots of the League’s secret identities without being told. And then he just. Doesn’t tell anyone about it. For years.

Like everyone in the League with a secret identity is just going about their daily lives, taking constant precautions to try and conceal their superpowers, and it’s just completely unnecessary because Bruce has this little machine in his basement constantly covering their asses. And nobody knows this.

Until one day Clark is hanging out in the Batcave and he spots it and asks Bruce about it, and eventually gets Bruce to explain what it is. And then Clark is just like:… ok. WHAT???

Bruce: hmm.

Clark: DON’T HMM me asshole; I repeat, WHAT?????

Bruce: Clark. Your disguise is a pair of glasses. This was a necessary precaution.

Clark: Hey! There is more to it than that, I-

Bruce: A pair. Of glasses.

Clark: It’s Not. Just. A pair. Of glasses!!! And it’s been working just fine so far!!

Bruce: *eyeing the invention* Yes. I wonder why that is.

Clark: isidjwjqk well why haven’t you told anyone about this??? Don’t you think it would have been useful information for the League to have??!

Bruce: Clark. Again. Your current disguise is a pair. of. glasses. Hal regularly uses the Lantern ring to commute to work if he’s running late. And Oliver wears a domino mask every night, but at seemingly no point has it occurred to him that maybe covering up the most distinctive facial hair in the whole country could be more useful. You are all terrible at this. This tech is intended as a backup measure; I wasn’t about to tell the League and allow the knowledge to make you even sloppier. Even my inventions have limits.

Clark: Quick question, how thick are the walls in this cave? Trying to figure out how much force I’d need to use to Throw You Through One

Bruce: You’re welcome, by the way.

Clark: … *valiantly represses the by now familiar urge to strangle Bruce*

Clark: …ok, but - wait. Wait. If you knew you had this, and that no one was going to figure out your secret identity…what’s with the whole Brucie act???

Bruce…

Clark: Bruce?!! You’ve been acting like a complete idiot?? In front of the whole world??? For decades???? And you DIDN’T HAVE TO???

Bruce:…

Clark: …WHY?!?!! Why would you do that????

Bruce:…

Bruce:…

Bruce:…

Bruce: Stress relief

#for the record I do know that in some continuities the glasses are kryptonian tech #and even when they aren’t I think there have been plenty of examples of how the glasses + how differently Clark holds himself #as his different identities #are actually very effective as a disguise #Christopher Reeve’s performance being the prime example #I just think the glasses thing is very funny lol #because. come on. it’s a pair of glasses XD #Oliver on the other hand cannot be excused #batman #superman #bruce wayne #clark kent #dc comics #ivy rambles

So... I guess that I'm the only one who dislikes Lois and Jimmy's new designs...?????

This is just my opinion, but I don't know, they're just not appealing to me, too simple and common in other shows. Including Klark. Most of the anime aesthetic of the show just... takes me off to keep seeing it.

The story doesn't catch me either, I guess that is the Spiderman effect I catch it recently.

The villains and background characters... also not my type to watch.

I already have a list of new animes and movies to keep watching so I'm gonna drop My Adventures with Superman for now.

It's a cute show, but that's it for me.

#making a stupid post #post #text #my stuff #opinion #my adventures with superman #dc #superman #lois lane #jimmy olsen #clark kent #the designs are just too bland and boring to me #the story is also pretty meh to me #like i said is the spiderman effect #SLADE! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU!!????

quick sketch of my best friends clark kent and superman

[image description: two pencil portraits of clark kent (also known as superman) from dc. the first drawing is him as clark kent while the second is him as superman. he is smiling in both portraits. /end description]

#clark kent #superman #dc #kal-el #<= i think that's his kryptonian name but i might be wrong don't correct me <3 #oh look - a star! #made these designs up but i do think superman is one of those designs where it's like. Iconique. no notes <3 #you don't stray very far because you don't need to <3 #i don't keep up with the dc universe by the way i just like the idea of superman i've built up in my head <3 #like a genuinely nice guy with superpowers <3 who's also jewish and bisexual <3 #i don't think i've read any superman-centric comics. i've read the Big dc comics like the killing joke and the dark knight returns and #swamp thing the original one. i'm actually reading the first comic where superman appears right now actually <3 #i like how instead of flying he used to jump and run i like seeing little quirks that come up when a character premieres and they're trying #to figure out what works and what doesn't that's neat to me <3 #anyways they should stop having gritty movies where superman is mean because power corrupts or what the fuck ever. #just make him a good guy like a genuinely good person maybe it won't make a good movie for some people. i'll have a great time though <3 #maybe i'm just behind on Superman Lore. i don't know i don't watch movies or shows or read books <3 (exaggerating for comedic effect)
