I’m a huge fan of Clark Kent, and prefer him over the Superman persona. The interesting thing about Superman, to me anyway, is that Clark Kent is the real person, Superman is the act. Clark Kent is awkward and clumsy (because of the power he’s trying to repress in every day life) and bad at women. But when the world needs Superman he forces himself to act like he’s confident. Because that’s what the world needs to see.
And that’s why I love Clark Kent.
And hate Grant Morrison.
