It is with considerable excitement that we find the Super Wonderful fairykitsch is not only a tumblr but also follows Hell Yeah Superman and Wonder Woman.
We are very lucky to have such a talented artist as part of our community.
So This is Follow Friday - and the blog in front is fairykitsch so go and send her all the best love and follows you have.
DC High
So the Superman and Wonder Woman Deviant Art Group (an acronym would have helped so much there) are holding this competition, the premise being to reimagine Supes and Wondy as Disney characters.
Well I recently saw the movie “Sky High” and couldn’t help smiling at the similarities between the Commander and Superman, as well as Jetstream and Wonder Woman. And then Lynda Carter showed up as the principal and I was all ＼(^o^)／
Anyway, since Sky High is a Disney movie, I decided to adapt it for my entry, but instead of casting Supes and Wondy as the parents, I cast them as Will and Layla instead.
In my mind the backstory goes: Jor El and Lara left Krypton along with little Kal and set up house on Earth. Cause of the yellow sun they both develop super powers and become heroes and adopt the secret identities of Jonathan and Martha Kent. Kal becomes Clark but doesn’t show any sign of powers during his childhood, leading to some angst just like Will’s.
Meanwhile, Diana moved to the neighborhood with her mother and has been Kal’s friend since they were little. She’s already got her powers, and I can see her being just like Layla as she objects to the school’s hero/sidekick dichotomy.
The scene above is when Will and Layla are on the roof after their first day of high school, having a supportive chat like good friends do.
Oh, and why am I posting this on Tumblr and not on Deviant Art? Cause I am currently without a computer or scanner and am relying only on my phone, which Deviant Art, unlike Tumblr, won’t allow me to upload photos from.
Sorry for the Deer of Teal.
Charlie (aka “Charlie Prime”) and his counterparts from various universes (including the female Charlene and the child Squirt) must battle the forces of the “Dark Everett” and try to keep the Charlie Everett of each world from meeting the same suicidal fate as others before him - in the process discovering his own value and purpose.
Clark and Lois are NOT inevitable - Matt Idelson Superman Editor.
Superman Comicdom is in tumult.
Matt Idelson, Editor of Superman has a feature over at the Superman Homepage
Ask Matt, where fans ask Matt questions.
So the short of it is this Will Jones asked…
“After reading the latest interview with Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens, whose plans honestly gave me a sense of ‘been there, done that’, along with the disturbing implication that Lois and Clark are inevitable, which to me is another word for lazy and unimaginitive”
Now I’ve got to say I’m with Will on this one. For me retreading a story line that was done in the 1990’s until last year, wouldn’t feel fresh. YMMV
And Matt answered… “Matt: Hey, Will! Despite what you took away from that interview, Clark and Lois are NOT inevitable, and in fact it isn’t going to happen, at least while I’m on watch duty”
Now I could write at length ( and I have ) about why Matt is correct in this sense - Lois didn’t date Superman or Clark Kent successfully until 1990. Since 1938, the story had been about a dysfunctional relationship - a doomed romance. That the super-marriage in canon is limited to the last couple of decades.
I appreciate many fans will have only read stories from the modern era. So this doomed romance dynamic will for some seem very different,
However for me, who is fan-boy enough to have read a lot of old comics, all Action, all Superman and whole lot of others, it was the 90’s and onwards romance/marriage that feels odd and out of step when the whole seven decades are considered.
In the comments on ask Matt jensmith writes
Jen is right - Fans of Clark and Lois are lucky, they’ve two decades of Canon Lois and Clark relationship in the funny books. They have the old “Imaginary stories” and Classic Earth 2 before that.
They have Smallville.
DC has reintroduced ( thank Rao ) the multiverse.
This decision introduces uncertainty, we don’t know what will happen, and of course post Matt Idelson - another Editor might take the decision to revisit the Lois & Clark romance. Okay it maybe years hence, but that’s the nature of long lasting episodic stories.
Meantime I’m interested to see where they take these characters.

Or was it the other way around?

I think it’s much better to know what they’re planning to do, in this case not do, than sit around trying to read tea leaves and hoping for something that isn’t going to happen.
Really, this isn’t anything new, DC’s line has been in the New 52 Clark & Lois are not going to be together. Now it’s been stated in no uncertain terms. So be it. All the cards are on the table and now it’s up to the individual consumer to make their decisions.
I think fans of the Clark & Lois relationship, which I am, are lucky because we have somewhere to go. We have the Smallville season 11 book with Clark & Lois together and happy. Wally fans, Stephanie Brown fans, Oracle fans, and so many others don’t even have that.
Money talks and if the Smallville book continues on the trajectory of the last 3 weeks I think we’ll have a strong voice in the continuing debate because we’ll have a successful book on the open market competing with DiDio’s reboot vision of the character.”
