These are the kind of people who raise a guy like Clark.
My goal is to be as welcoming as the fucking Kents. Like honestly I’ve always gotten the feeling that, whether Clark is home or not, if any of his family or superhero buddies come over and need ANYTHING they’d be like “Oh you must be one of Clark’s friends! Come in we have pancakes on the stove. Do you want any milk?”
See this is why Man of Steel is so bullshit. In the DCAU (and any decent version of Superman) it’s Clarks ADOPTED family that instills his sense of righteousness. Because it means that he isn’t some alien deity so far beyond us that’s to be worshipped like Snyder is so willing to beat you over the head with, his goodness is entirely HUMAN in origin. He represents the pinnacle of mankind’s potential because he was raised to embody the very best we can offer, and has the power and ability to put that into practice in a way that can inspire us all.
Seriously fuck Man of Steel.
WHAT TOM SAID!
