I was tiny but I remember watching a man on tv with a sledgehammer standing on top of it and swinging it down to smash into the wall. While those around him cheered as he did it. Later and older but still a kid a museum near me had massive pieces of the wall on display. That same history a few short years was on display for me.

[@InEccess]

Isn't Superman a human lie detector? In Dark Night's Metal, he was able to determine who was masquerading as Batman from knowing Bruce's heartbeat. When asking questions, I'm sure Clark was able to get a baseline from the man's heartbeat. DC just chose to leave the answer vague.

[@samuraijackoff5354]

Maybe he knew, maybe he didn’t. Maybe he was blinded by his emotions. Maybe they felt it out. I like to think that he was too busy hiding his true emotions.

[@legoben98productions]

Clark knows Bruce in an out. He can tell if Bruce was trying to lie or not because of how long they’ve known each other as friends. It’d probably be impossible to do that to a stranger especially if it’s someone like that guy.

[@danielpittman2271]

I'm a huge Superman fan, through the good and bad. It's unfortunate Superman gets so much hate from comic fans. I like him because he has all that power - he's a god basically - but he remains good. He's not using his powers for self centered benefits, I know I would if I had those powers. Also, Superman can't be everywhere at once, so think about how much suffering he can hear through his super hearing. You know there has to be people out there he can't save because he's saving countless other lives. That has to be psychologically and emotionally torturous...to have all that power and unable to save everyone.

hah right? Not exactly my ideal destination when entering a mainstream escapist fantasy like superhero fiction, but damned if I'm not impressed with DC for actually publishing this story. Lol I'd like to see Disney/Marvel ante up like that. I mean, not really, obviously. It's physically discomforting to read sadism like that. But it does lend a sort of vulnerability and powerlessness that is all too real to actual people and generally missing in mainstream superhero comics. Again though, i recognize that comics aren't typically designed for this type of examination into the human psyche, so I'm not put out by the more common "all our nothing" sci-fi conflicts.

Great channel -> bad video. Rob has a fundamental misunderstanding of the “good” and “bad” of capitalism and communism. Capitalism is not extorting money for least amount of effort. The economic theories are about class and the control of the means of production. True capitalism is the idea of owning your time and aspirations. You enter into voluntary agreements in which you exchange your time effort for money, goods or services. Communism and Marxism is where you agree to have the body politic decide where your time and effort are exerted for the “good” of the populace or more likely the oligarchy incharge of the country. It’s really about individualism and collectivism. Again I love Rob’s voice and videos. But in this video he made some bad generalisms about history and economic systems.

Living in the Soviet Union during that time was a LIVING HELL for so many people. Stalin ruled with fear and he would routinely kill loyal people claiming they were traitors. He did this b/c he knew the fear would push people to be extremely loyal to him. He wanted them to be so paranoid that they weren't doing enough to keep him happy, so that they would always bring their A game. For those unfortunate to become prisoners, (which could happen for any reason at all) it wasn't just the physical torture that was terrible but the physiological torture. I can't even talk about half of the depraved stuff they did or KZbin would shutdown this comment. There was an occasion where a man was tortured in such a manner and he ended up beating his head violently against the concrete wall till he lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness he repeated the process until he killed himself. If you were imprisoned and had any love for a spouse, family, or friend, they would find ways to violate that love in the worst ways imaginable. After Stalin died things did get somewhat better and this type of demonic treatment let up but so many people were irreparably scarred.

I disagree the story has good morals but that camp scene where they violated superman. I mean wtf, this was the conditioning say what they did to Johnathan and having become a superman that has an Asian male lover com'on. Part of it ruins superman and it showed later

[@nicholasbruns6593]

Aww, I thought this was about when Superman got split into Red and Blue. Seeing YOU call that the Greatest Superman Story piqued my interest. How disappointing... Maybe next time?

Capitalism is not about the greatest amount of reward with the least amount of work. It is the greatest amount of award given the risk that you were willing to burden as the person that owns and is taking the risk of the capital investment.

Question! At 6:30, did you mean to say "omit" or "emit"? it wasn't clear, and either word would completely change what you're trying to say.

[@TevyaSmolka]

i agree bendis superman was just garbage and he ruined everything.

[@swedichboy1000]

Could you cover that Superman story when he faces off against Mongul on his birthday?

[@ΚώσταςΠαππάς-φ7ζ]

For the man who has everything. Another great Superman story

That JLU episode was cool

He moved dozens of planets in the silverage....with ease. Not a fan of weakening him.

How do you write for a character that strong tho?

[@TheTriangle444]

these comics are pieces of poetry for the brain and heart to indulge, not some pages for nerds who love stroking their egos against other nerds in the internet

6:00 did rob say that men shouldn’t admit to having emotions? Maybe I heard it wrong but I would think rob with having mental health issues himself would want men to talk about their emotions and feelings.

What he suffering from?

[@meyou1770]

@@Watch-0w1 he talked about depression before

[@D4WN0FF1R3]

I'm pretty sure he said that there's this thing among men that we should omit/not admit emotions, and anyone who believes that is actually a good thing is a fool.

[@Watch-0w1]

I don't always agree with what he believe. Pretty sure he meant man(even woman) pride. Once someone is violated and made weak, no matter how much talk and therapy, you won't be same.

[@jayk7644]

He said omit not admit. As in basically the opposite of what you heard
