Do you think Clark Kent’s first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis’ water system

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent’s 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories’ continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

“Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we’re pretty sure he’s a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy”? “Captain pipes?” Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great guy and it’s a handy trick, but it’s lead detection, not laser vision. He’s not about to go running around in tights any time soon.“

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

clark publishes an expose on the sheer amount of lead in gotham that just happens to land on the desk of bruce wayne
