‘Superman’ Feels Like a Living, Breathing Comic Book

At this point, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, everyone can recite the origin story of Superman. Born Kal-El on the planet Krypton. Sent to Earth by his parents before that world goes boom. Grew up in a typical middle-American small town named [checks notes] Smallville. Moves to Metropolis and, thanks to a simple pair of glasses, keeps his secret identity as Clark Kent, journalist for the Daily Planet, separate from his gig as the guy with the “S” on his chest. Keeps a vacation pad way, way up north. Loves his beautiful co-worker Lois Lane. Dislikes include supervillains and Kryptonite.
