THE MAN OF TOMORROW: suspiciouscoffee's take on Superman (Starting over soon-ish maybe!)
Time

Countless different mental iterations of a Superman movie have come and gone, including the ideas above and many more, but I think I finally have one that could stick.

Superman for All Time

Here’s an outline of what could easily be several different movies, one long epic, or both.

1910 - Kryptonian rocket lands on Earth, and the child inside is adopted by the Kents.
1939 - War begins in Europe, Clark adopts the Superman persona and goes to try to stop it.
1946 - The war is over and Clark moves to Metropolis to get a job as a reporter. He considers retiring Superman, but crime in the city leads him to continue his battle for truth and justice.
1960 - The Justice League is formed in response to The Center (see The New Frontier) (also here: enter Starro!).
1971 - Superman and his pal Jimmy Olsen encounter The Fourth World
1992 - Magog drives Superman into retirement.
2000 - The return of Superman and Kingdom Come.

To be fair, I’m not opposed to memorializing Confederate soldiers since a lot of them died and I’m sure plenty were decent family men. Japan and Germany do the same thing with their war dead from WWII, but I’m sure Alabama is actually memorializing the Confederacy so, as you said, “Fuck That Shit.”

Indeed. I recently watched this clip of Eisenhower, and he lists Robert E. Lee as one of four top Americans. This is the same man who integrated our schools.

Even Eisenhower can be Wrong sometimes.

I say fuck any and all confederate apologia, but maybe I’m just sick of how pervasive it is where I live, and in my family where unverified oral tradition says I’m descended from a first cousin of Lee and my parents were called traitors for not naming any of their kids Lee. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
