Message: <blockquote data-quote="jmucchiello" data-source="post: 5635886" data-attributes="member: 813">Clark Kent has NEVER been a fish out of water. In his head, he is (was) a kid who grew on a farm in Kansas, with two loving parents. He is entirely a "normal" American kid. Even though he runs around in the blue tights for Justice and has a bunch of super powers. He thinks of himself as Clark. Kal El and Superman are not his core personas. Wonder Woman is the fish-out-of-water hero. She grew on an isolated island of Ancient Greecian decent with a culture far removed from that of modern day mankind.Clark Kent listened to popular music as a kid. Had a gameboy or its equivalent depending on the time period. Went to the prom. Has seen a bunch of movies many other people his age has seen. He "gets" modern culture/lifestyles.Diana Prince is a persona Princess Diana puts on. She did not grow up watching movies or going to proms or playing video games or what have you. Her value system should be different from a modern person's value system. And thus she is a fish-out-of-water.That said, the implication I read implied Kal El is not an infant when he travels to Earth. So his value system is not crafted by an upbringing of a pair of Kansas farmers. He is Kryptonian in his outlook and Clark Kent is a disguise he uses to try to fit in. That is a complete change to who Superman is. Because what man Superman relateable was the fact that he was just a good ole' American boy with superpowers.From what I understand, ongoing lawsuits from the family of Superman's original creators (Siegel and Shuster) are making DC attempt to remove all the traits they created for Superman from his ethos.</blockquote>
