Roleplay/In Character I HATE SUPERMAN! HE'S NOT A SYMBOL OF HOPE.

It's an alien pretending to be human! It's damaged countless American places and put countless people in danger!

​

We can rely on our HUMAN technologies, we shouldn't trust a being from another world!

Even if he did get Pink Kryptonite, Superman would obviously and canonically prefer his best friend Jimmy Olsen

I just visualized it in my head, and it made me realize something. Bruce Wayne looks almost identical to Superman. Are they the same person? Maybe he had WayneTech make some sort of super serum that gave Bruce superpowers!

u/mateo222210 Jun 16 '26

Don't be silly. Why would a gotham billionaire like bruce wayne work as a metropolis hero. If anything he'd be batman. How else could that guy afford all his gadgets?

u/Fizz117 Jun 16 '26

Bruce Wayne as Batman? That is the single craziest idea I have ever heard. Bruce Wayne bumped into a Ficus and apologized, and you think he could be Batman?

It was only in a Supergirl comic that I'm not sure was canon to New Earth. It was also in a web short for Justice League Action, so it technically exists in some capacity, though that version gender swapped Clark instead of making him fruity.

(Limited time offer, and availability, Lex Corp is not responsible for social or medical issues arrising from getting a Tattoo for the purposes of this promotion.)

u/Jugaimo Jun 16 '26

See at first I’d be down to get an ironic tattoo for a free computer. But then the health warrantee makes me pause. Lexcorp definitely would put something evil like a mind-control serum or body-horror nanobots into something like tattoo ink.

It's from the 2025 Superman movie, basically the villain Lex Luthor has trained monkeys that do online trolling to make Superman look bad. It makes more sense if you've watched the movie

The fact the first fighting move he programed into the superman clone was just a straight up punch to the face is hilarious.

Lex is full on comic supervillain in that movie and its honestly delightful. Its a very different take on the world of Superman than we have seen on film before.

The context is the Lex Luthor used tons of monkeys and had them all comment, repost, create and everything else to shit on Superman in the internet. They even made #Supershit

6

u/weaweonaaweonao Jun 16 '26

Lex Luthor had a group of monkeys dedicated to write shit about superman, while being confined in a pocket dimension.

The director quite literally recreated the "I portrayed you as the soyjack and me as the Chad, therefore you lose" meme in an actual film.

u/Missspelled_name Jun 16 '26

In the movie, Lex Luthor literally has a bunch of monkey robots drumming up outrage and hate about superman on social media just to spite superman.

u/Swordkirby9999 Jun 16 '26

There was a Superman comic (80's or 90's, I think?) about Lex and Braniac making a mock danger that got Superman in the outskirts of Metropolis. Brainiac then made some sort of psychic tech sheild over Metropolis to keep Superman out, as Lex was at city hall making a speech about how Metropolis had become too reliant on Superman to solve all the city's problems. That's it. He was just trying to keep Superman out so he could lead the city could become more self sufficent again.

You'll never guess how his harmless speech was thwarted. Some kid had an AirHeads taffy. He opened it and the balloon head mascot flew out, said this speech was boring, distracted Lex, and then bonked into Brainiac's head making him drop the psychic sheild. Superman then flew in and tied them both up with a steel girder.
