    Invite Clark Kent to an interview with a Senior General in a small village in the Nevada desert. Clark arrives to an empty village full of plastic mannequins. The whole village disappears in a flash of light.

    Clark arrives back to the CIA office the next day with excuses that he couldn’t make it to the interview.

    I’m sure the CIA wouldn’t be that surprised at being unable to kill someone.

    Not after 634 failures against Fidel Castro

        i imagine kryptonians drop logs dense like nibblonians’ pebbles. which are also so dense they only require wiping/bideting when for example supes is sick.

        so like, he probably uses a lead bowl and a portal to the Phantom zone to take care of his deuces.

          imagining all the criminals in the phantom zone getting shredded by a lifetime of super poop is hilarious.

    If M Night Shyamalan directed this, it would be a Superman reveal at the end with a cheesy one-liner.

    “why won’t you die?” “because I believe in truth, justice and the American way”

    [nerd alert] There was a Superman comic where someone alerts Clark Kent to a Luthor scheme and Superman shows up to wipe it out. The source confronts Kent, enraged that he took the easy way out. She wanted Kent to write the story and bring it to the world’s attention, not have Superman make the problem disappear

    There was a Superman: The Animated Series episode where someone put a bomb in Clark Kent’s car (or something like that) and it went off and the episode dealt with him having to come up with a plausible explanation for how he survived.

      The Late Mr. Kent. One of the best episodes of the series. He finds evidence that a death row inmate is innocent, gets, “assassinated,” by the real killer (which also destroys the evidence), and has to find a new way to clear the man/catch the real killer while also seeing how the people close to him deal with his, “death.” And, boy, that ending.

    Make it a Hallmark Christmas movie!

    Clark goes back to his rural childhood farm town for the holidays. Holly, a big city CIA assassin on her first assignment, comes to town under the guise of being a photographer there for their big Christmas festival. Holly struggles to find opportunities to kill this enemy of the state, between the charity work Clark’s does for the festival and the seemingly persistent attention he revcieves from his highschool sweetheart, Lana (who looks remarkably similar to Holly in build, complexion and hair color) and her daughter Sarah. So she stages a honey trap to lure him to his demise. With each failed assassination attempt she finds herself falling victim to her own trap and she finds herself falling in love with him. Eventually Holly breaks down and confesses that she’s actually there to commit an illegal murder for the government but can’t because her newfound love for Clark has made her rethink her career path of state sanctioned murdering people for money. She runs off into the snow, tears running down her face. At the festival Clark is delivering fresh pies to the charity fund raiser booth when he hears the news. Holly’s car was pulled from a frozen lake with a body inside. While damage from the wreck makes identification difficult, they are certain it Holly is dead. A forlorn and heartbroken Clark feels lost but then the crowd parts and he sees Holly! They rush into each other’s arms. “How?” Clark asks. “I couldn’t just leave, they would come after me. The only way out was to fake my death.” Holly answers between kisses. “Then who was that in your car?” “Don’t worry about it”, she says as they kiss. Credits roll as Sarah wonders the crowd searching for her missing mother.

    Along these lines, I really want a batman movie where he’s not the star, but a monster in the background hunting the protagonist.

    Does Clark Leave the country a lot? Figured he was a more domestic journalist based on absolutely nothing atall
