Superman having lunch with a friend (Comic Dub)

[@spasebar]

Superman is at his best when he's written to be a friendly guy who likes people.

That’s who he’s meant to be: the man we men wish we could be. Brave, kind, handsome, and almost always up to the task.

It really is the little human moments that make him such a great character. Saving a girl from suicide, saying he likes pink during his interview with Lois, how he always seems like a disappointed dad when he fights, and now him talking to an ex con about life.

@@buckaroobanzai7063 It's one of those things were his powers have outgrown his character. The powers have even outgrown their setting. Why is the Joker still a problem when Superman can hear his laugh from across the planet, and the flash is fast enough to patrol every square inch of the world in the time it takes a neuron to flash? How is Clark Kent able to find time to be him, when he can hear someone being raped on the other side of the world, and can be there and back before his clothes even fall to the ground? The constant power escalations have left us in a weird point where our heroes can't be humans who strive to do good, because there's so much good to be done at all times that they're capable of that they have to become machines. In this 15 minute break one of several options had to have happened. 1. Nothing bad happened anywhere that there wasn't a super there to handle it. No one even fell off a roof and screamed. The world is peaceful, safe, and quiet. 2. He is willingly letting awful things happen to have a lunch break. 3. He's been momentarily nerfed, because he can't have this scene with the amount of power he has.

[@ViroVeteruscy]

I like moments like this rather than Superman just being able to beat everything with little effort. Yeah, there are a few things that can stop/harm him, but he's more fun when he's more vulnerable and grounded. This is why Spider-Man is a relatable character due to having to balance life with being a superhero.

I would say that Superman isnt supposed to be relatable. He's supposed to be the ideal version of humanity, the best of the best. Superman is who we should strive to be.

Moments like these are what make super heroes great. Not saving the world or stopping evil villains, but spending time with reformed criminals who want to or try to do better. Like Flash talking to Trickster, it shows that heroes are more than just super powers. It’s about saving people from themselves and raising them up to be better than they or even others think they are.

[@thekoifishcoyote8762]

My perfect superman story would mix these heart-to-hearts with disaster rescues, ending with him crashing on a couch after a busy day.

[@Supperdude9]

Superman being wholesome is best Superman. Because that's how he was raised. The Kents were wholesome Kansas folk, and they raised their son right, to care about people. Supes loving his parents and the love he received from them is what makes him him. Sort of like Batman. Batman was raised by his parents right, loved by them. He saw their love of life, and care for others, as they did what they could for Gotham. But they were taken away from Batman, and it's his love for them and what they believed in that keeps him going. But yeah, wholesome Supes is the standard.

I like this one. But my favorite is the one where he gets asked to help with a woman standing on a ledge. But instead of just grabbing her and bringing her down, he hangs out with her all day and night just talking until she's ready to come down on her own. Also, the one where he rescues an abused little boy from his father is great. Really, any story where he helps or connects with regular people is great because it helps show his humanity and that even everyday people and events are still important, even if they aren't newsworthy.

I love the stories like those from Star Wars that just take place on a low level, some crooks doing their thing, maybe at worst they run into a few imperial stormtroopers, no Jedi, no Sith, no exploding celestial bodies or DnD stuff that's basically just a low level party helping out a town that has some goblins in the forest and the big reveal is that it was actually more than 3 goblins.
