  Yes, the end of the story is the best part.<br>&quot;Back to work.&quot;

  Superman is like a firefighter or surgeon, there will be always a fire to put out or a patient to save and that is the reason he can never stop doing his job

  Here I am a woman in my 7th decade who only watches super hero movies because of my 4 grandsons, watching this video on the edge of my seat. Thanks Steve. People like you are our supermen. Hope to see you in DC this month.

  After the car accident that took my arm and stole my ability to walk, I was in rehab and was having a tough time. &nbsp;One of the staff told me this: “It’s ok to have a bad day. &nbsp;It’s even ok to have a bad week or bad month. &nbsp;It becomes a problem when you have a bad year. &nbsp;You are allowed to feel your feelings, you are human. &nbsp;But you can’t let it stop you from moving forward, that’s when it’s an issue. &nbsp;You are allowed to have a bad day.” &nbsp;I know right now is exhausting. &nbsp;So take a day or week or maybe even a month for yourself. &nbsp;But eventually, you have to get back into the fight. &nbsp;It’s ok to have a bad day.

  Superman is beautiful because despite his godly powers, he&apos;s the realest character in fiction. All we have to do to become Superman is selflessly believe in and help our fellow men and women ❤️

  Presumably we should refer to Jor-El as Mr. El. I&apos;m sure Superman would say &quot;Call me Kal, Mr. El is my father.&quot;.

  Superman: Back to work.<br>Me: Well, my break is over.

  What gives me hope is the show Picket Fences. In the 3rd season, the predominantly white town elects as their mayor a racist political outsider who runs on a campaign of keeping people of color from entering the town. He narrowly defeats the blond wife of the saxophone playing popular town sheriff. The new mayor is eventually killed. By his own wife, a woman fed up with being married to guy who treats her like dirt.

  My favorite Superman line of all time is from Infinite Crisis when he&apos;s fighting his double from Earth 2 - &quot;You can&apos;t be from a perfect world, because a perfect world doesn&apos;t need a Superman.&quot; I really wish we didn&apos;t need a Superman. Or another FDR at least.<br>And yeah, DC Reboots way too often. But Marvel rarely lets any series get above 12 issues before they make a new #1, cause... reasons? They want to make collecting all but impossible so they can sell TPB? IDK...

  I keep hearing the line from &quot;Land of Confusion&quot; by Genesis.<br><br>&quot;Oh, Superman, where are you now? When everything&apos;s gone wrong somehow?&quot;<br><br>That was 40 damn years ago and we&apos;re still here. <br><br>The work never ends, but the point is that we keep doing it.
