my favorite thing that Clark Kent does is try to figure out how a Normal Human Man would respond to getting injured

like if someone shoots at him he can say “oh he missed” and if someone tries to punch him he can kind of roll with it and barely avoid getting hit so they don’t smash their hand while going “oh ow oof what a punch ouch”

but then here comes the Joker with a comically large wooden mallet and now Clark has to figure out how Normal Human Man Clark Kent could conceivably survive this without making it obvious that he is not actually a Normal Human Man. just “oh goddammit i’ve never even seen someone get hit with one of these before, the joker’s probably seen all kinds of people get hit, he knows what this is supposed to look like but i have no goddamn idea i am so fucked”

superman may have the power of flight and super strength but clark kent has the power of improv

BUT YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART

POLITELY ASKING JOKER TO STOP

you are completely right, clark kent asking people to please stop trying to murder him is definitely way up there on the list of reasons he is amazing

#EXCUSE ME SIR #BUT I AM TRYING TO LIVE #COULD YOU PLEASE TAKE YOUR MALLET ELSEWHERE #THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION #there’s no way he should be able to dodge but the joker is way too busy being mad at the gall of him to think about that #so offended that someone he had not planned to waste time on was still alive

I imagine the top three panels happening it quicksilver style slow motion while he’s thinking super fast

well, clark is faster than a speeding bullet so a hammer is easy to dodge
