Does it make you feel responsible for Harvey Dent’s current predicament?

my favorite thing that Clark Kent does is try to figure out how a Normal Human Man would respond to getting injured

like if someone shoots at him he can say “oh he missed” and if someone tries to punch him he can kind of roll with it and barely avoid getting hit so they don’t smash their hand while going “oh ow oof what a punch ouch”

but then here comes the Joker with a comically large wooden mallet and now Clark has to figure out how Normal Human Man Clark Kent could conceivably survive this without making it obvious that he is not actually a Normal Human Man. just “oh goddammit i’ve never even seen someone get hit with one of these before, the joker’s probably seen all kinds of people get hit, he knows what this is supposed to look like but i have no goddamn idea i am so fucked”

superman may have the power of flight and super strength but clark kent has the power of improv

BUT YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART

POLITELY ASKING JOKER TO STOP

you are completely right, clark kent asking people to please stop trying to murder him is definitely way up there on the list of reasons he is amazing

I always ask that of all my prey. I just like the sound of it.

As much as I liked Batman 1989, I *hated* that they made the Joker the guy who killed Bruce’s parents.
