To Feel Human
Superman!, Superman!, Superman!, undoubtedly one of DC Comics greatest superheroes of all time. People love him, and some even hate him, but is there more to the "Man of Steel" than just super strength, ability to fly, shoot lasers out of his eyes?? I think so.
We all know the story of how Superman came to planet Earth right????? Good so there is no need to dive into that. Superman grew up with the alias Clark Kent who later moved to the city of Metropolis, became a news reporter for the Daily Planet and opted for the worst disguise ever imagined, A PAIR OF RIDICULOUS BIG ASS GLASSES!!.
His motives were already clear as growing up he discovered his identity and decided to help the people whenever trouble was around, and that he would become a "SYMBOL" of hope that there is always a good guy around. After making a few public appearances saving people in bizarre situations, the newspapers just had to call him Superman. He was freaking everywhere, "Faster than a speeding bullet"(See what I did there??). The costume colouring was a simple blue, red and some yellow. That big red cape I admit it I want one so bad.
So now there's Clark Kent the reporter and changes into Superman whenever trouble arises, the fact that he uses a telephone booth for his transformation is also quite weird.
Here is the issue a man that has all this insane power chooses to help the innocent!! What madness right?. If we all had his abilities we would take over the world! I know I would. So why does he opt for this path to live as the human Clark Kent and be surrounded with people and then change to Superman to protect and serve the people of not only Metropolis but the world?
The answer is simple, he wants a connection to feel "human". We as humans all need a connection in life that makes feel love, hate, pain, joy, anger, happiness and sadness. without this I guess we're just heartless robots wandering around this planet with no idea of what's going on. Superman is NOT human he is indeed an ALIEN being. His home planet was blown up, and he is the last of his kind, I say that the most extreme form of loneliness ever!. So basically and personally I believe that he is on this path in search of that human connection, wanting to feel as we people do.
Love him or hate him, he is awesome and the original badass. Whether you have read the comic books, seen the cartoons, T.V adapted series and yes any of the movies, there is just something about this guy that you hope, that whenever a bad situation arises the good guy will always come to the fight.
This is just my thoughts..
I know millions of people can't wait for the new Superman movie "Man of Steel" to arrive this year, I am one of those people. The adaptions to the movie franchise have always been quite entertaining. Watch the trailers below it's gonna be awesome...
