It makes the most powerful hero on the planet seem so relatable and human that you forget he is an alien, and the fact he is so happy when someone compliments his mother's handiwork just says it all. In his first appearance, he instantly gives off a vibe that this is a man you can trust and rely on, that there really isn't a bad bone in his body.

You don't get out much, do you?

@@Nova-fh2et well I do. Right now for example I’m laying down after getting home from football practice, after practice I road around in my bike a lot and got a whole bunch of food so I’m pooped. Your comment just interrupted me from falling asleep

@@everyonesfavorite7560 i think he means you haven't been seeing very much DC content if you think that's the best out of comic portrayal of superman you've seen in a while. Not saying I agree with him, I just think that you mistook a comment. HOWEVER I big recommend the DC animated universe if you haven't gotten the chance to see it. From justice league War forward, in my opinion they were really well put together. But one of my favorite out of comic portrayal of superman to date is from All Star Superman. It showed the same huge heart of you get to see when he dies to Doomsday. But you get to see him demonstrate the rest of his great qualities over time instead of in a single battle

This is one of the best audience welcomes I've ever seen.

If anyone had doubts like I did ....this intro pulled me in, I love it

[@sakaririchard8810]

this is not on a different Earth, or different continuity. Crisis changed things so Clark and Lois have two teenage boys, instead of just one baby boy. Kara is not mentioned more than likely because they want to just focus on Superman's storylines. but outside of that it's already been confirmed by the showrunners that this exists in the same continuity as the rest of the Arrowverse.

I was wondering that... Clark's ship is different from the one that appears in Supergirl

[@MrDestroyedSoulx]

@@anurb.s.c.anurb.s.c.2329 Yeah, it's just a post-crisis change, along with the many other major changes. The whole show is filled with massive ones. For one, they had an infant son during Crisis, yet somehow now have two teenage boys. Which means Lois and Clark got married and had kids wayyy sooner than originally, or the show takes place into the future. The latter of which is probably less likely. Another change is that Sam Lane is a new actor, and is aware of who Clark is, and not antagonist towards Superman. On Supergirl, he didn't know who she or Clark were, and he was pretty antagonistic towards aliens. Though some things didn't change post-crisis, such as the Smallville farm set, and the suit with trunks on the outside, which got mentioned in a flashback episode of Supergirl a few years ago. This is still the same character as before, just on a newly merged Earth, with a different history than before. I am surprised the show doesn't bring up at all the confusion he must have felt suddenly having teenage sons when he had a infant son pre-crisis.

AND THANK HEAVENS FOR THE POST CRISIS CHANGE! It means the Pre Crisis Superman is trashed.

[@hinatashoyo1748]

@@mistakenidentity09 Nope. It just means the pre-crisis Superman wasn’t fleshed out as much because they weren’t hopeful for Superman showing up until WB greenlit his first appearance on Supergirl S2. Now they are able to showcase how amazing Superman is.
