Bizarro has always struck me as almost a metaphor for special needs. He's sweet and wants to do the right thing, but his simplistic understanding of the world can lead him to make mistakes. Others demonize those mistakes, interpreting him as a villain, but Superman always shows Bizarro kindness and compassion. As someone with a special needs younger brother, the character has always respnated with me a lot.

I was about to say this. Bizarro has a lot of similarities with folks suffering from developmental disorders and thus they have a harder time grasping concepts tye same as most people. They also are very prime targets of manipulation and at the worst case scenario at the amusement of the manipulators. That is kinda why I have fallen out with most Lolcow Orbiter channels which is made especially worse by their Main Character Syndrome they have especially with some of their targets are actual criminals who are more than capable of hurting women and children.

11:33 Bizarro's return always did kind of bug me, seeing as how he reached a pretty fair living end in STAS. From a citation I found in the Fandom wiki, Bruce Timm wrote on animesuperhero's message boards that the intent in JLU season 3 was that Bizarro's brain had been experimented on so that he'd be "more controllable," with the classic backwards talk as a side effect. The big scar he sported at this point was supposed to imply this.

Here's a fun thought experiment... So, a lot of Bizarro-style characters have appeared (multiple versions sometimes), including an entire universe of Bizarros in the comics. If you were going to write a story about a non-Superman Bizarro, who would it be and what would be the conflict? I know there are a couple Bizarro Lanterns already, but that's the exact route I'd go and try to really explore the concept. Instead of courage and willpower, Bizarro GL's power would be derived from his COWARDICE with his ring able to create anything he is scared of. He would try to help the League fight evil or even just help ordinary citizens, but his own constructs would terrify him. He then tries to create a new construct to fight the first, only to compound his problem. He will be frightened away to start the cycle over somewhere else. But the real GL would eventually teach him to face his fears, and his newfound courage will deactivate the ring. At which point the League immediately takes the ring away and sends him to much needed therapy.

Bizarros kind of an interesting hotspot of ableism it seems. And a good example of how the DCA does have its failures and clear problem regions too. The whole curing disabilities business is really kinda yucky. And later on, how his developmental issues serve more as the butt of the joke are somewhat troubling. Plus, the best solution Supes came up with being in essence segregation and isolation "away from normal people" does smell iffy - even if Bizzaros powers do somewhat justify it. Despite it being a very dangerous role due to said powers, Bizzaro sure coulda done with some form of assistant to both help ensure he isn't taken advantage of and that above all else, he could live his life fairly good. Heck, if segregation was really the only available option, Superman could have used his ship to go hang out and check up on Bizzaro every now and then to make sure all is well. Would have potentially avoided a lot of migraines going ahead if he maintained regular contact, making it harder to foul up the friendship (as Bizzaro saw it) thus making sure the happy times continued.

I think the implication in the later appearances of Bizzaro, and why he was loyal to Luthor, is that Luthor performed some kind of brain surgery on him. This helped him understand the world around him better, but also caused the classic backwards speak that Bizzaro is generally known for. Note that this quirk didn't appear at all in the character UNTIL Luthor joined the Secret Society. There's also what appears to be a large scar on his forehead in a bunch of shots during the series (even a few you included in this video). That being said, it's entirely possible that this "scar" is just an animation error, because it randomly appears and disappears between scenes.

Superman TAS version of Bizzaro is honestly the most sad version for me. Like every version of him is sad, but his character in the series is especially sad. We see how Luthor created Bizzaro by cloning Clark and programming memories for him. Bizzaro basically was Superman just duplicated and we see how confused he is when seeing the real Superman. Then his mind slowly starts to deteriorate and his makeup comes off which confuses him even more. Imagine just living another day as yourself, then one day your body starts falling apart and you find out you’re not actually you, you’re a clone. Bizzaro even has a mental breakdown when Mercy calls him “Bizzaro” and not Superman which was so heartbreaking especially when he starts ranting “BIZZARO?! THAT NOT MY NAME!!” He never really struck me as a villain, just a damaged victim who was always easily manipulated. He wants to be a hero and to help people, but everything he does just hurts people because his mind is so damaged. It’s honestly sad how often he’s so easily manipulated by people who wish to use him, due to his lack of intelligence and understanding. Because of this one day he’ll consider Superman his friend, and the next day someone will easily trick him into thinking Superman is his enemy. He does have moments of self-awareness with the fact that he is flawed version of Superman, particularly when he sees Superman saving Lois. He realizes he’s not actually Superman which is one of the hardest things to watch with him saying “Me no am Superman, you am Superman. Superman save Lois.” But I was glad to see Lois acknowledge his selflessness and tell him “You are a hero” which puts a smile on his face. I’m just glad Clark seems to always treat him with kindness and understanding knowing it’s not his fault that he’s the way he is. He truly is perfectly Imperfect and deep down all he wants to do is help and be a hero, because once again he is Clark Kent just with a damaged mind.

I've always thought Bizzaro was super underrated and super underutilized in a narrative sense. I wish he was in more stuff with a bigger role. That comic run with Bizzaro, Jason Todd, and... the girl whose name I forget was something I wish I had the money to spend on.

I love the big lug, he’s even has some of my favorite stories like where he kidnaps pa kent to play bizarro joe-el with pa and Superman helping him become the hero htrae needs. Or where he’s recruited by ra’s Al ghul who treats him like a son with speacial needs even giving him the iconic stone medallion.

People say superman is boring, but he's pretty unique compared to the neverending lineup of troubled antiheroes. At his best, he's a good man who tries very hard to believe in people. The RL bizarro is what happens when writers look at Superman and just go "oh yeah he's stronger than all the other heroes," and before you know it he's killing bystanders and doing Jesus metaphors.

IIRC after Lex took over the Legion of Doom, he gave every villain an upgrade (that also hid a sort of killswitch should they try to double cross Lex) Bizarro from that point on has a scar on his head, implying Lex messed with his brain. I like to think that it was a lobotomy but due to the backwards nature of Bizarro, he ended up getting smarter with less grey matter
@CapnAlces7 ай бұрын
I *love* the idea that Bizarro would get smarter from a lobotomy. Like a reverse-Doomsday. Doesn't really work with the clone version of the character, but it is a fun idea!

I always like the detail that in the episode of JLU where Flash and Lex Luthor swap bodies, Bizarros the only member of the legion of doom who realises there's something off and raises his suspicions in a meeting by aksing Flash in Luthors body "am you bizarros mommy?", but none of the other villains take him seriously because he's bizarro.

The different interpretations of Bizzaro are great, either a alternate version of Superman, a twisted version of Superman or as a failed clone who's time was going to be cut short in different ways. I'm glad this Bizzaro was kinda given a redemption. Also in the brain swap of Lex and Flash in JLU, Bizzaro was the only one, outside of Grodd, to see that something was up with Luthor. I really like what they do with his character because he has a lot of utility.

I really wish the STAS had adapt Bizarro Lois and the other duplicates, since their presence not only gives Bizarro a happy ending but, when analyzed, Bizarro's had a better life than Superman at that point: He was married to Bizarro Lois and the two had a child while Clark and Lois weren't even married at that time; Bizarro lived on planet with his people while Superman, a kryptonian, live on Earth among humans; Unlike Superman, Bizarro didn't need a secret identity or to hide his powers from his people. In some ways, for someone who wanted to be accept like Superman, Bizarro end up getting the life that Superman always wanted.

Here's another bit of info...Bizarro was originally created by Otto Binder who was the original Captain Marvel's main writer. He was hired by DC after DC successfully shut down Fawcett's superhero line. The character's charm feels like he would have been at home in Captain Marvel's world. The Superman line benefitted from Binder's imagination and whimsical approach.

@@michaelandreipalon359 I have a feeling that due to being a failed clone, Bizzaro probobly died due to complications long before Superman reached his age at the time of the BB justice league episode. Kryptonian genetics are often seen as way more complex than anything seen on Earth which would account for why Luthor had issues attempting to clone Superman at all.
