So I found a Superman I liked!  This is such a gentle, heartfelt take on the Man of Steel—it’s less about big action and more about who Clark Kent is at his core. It’s told in four seasons, each from a different character’s POV (Lois, Lex, Pa, Lana), which gives it a really personal, grounded feel that I loved.  To me this really feels nostalgic without being sappy, and I appreciate the narrative throughout…. You really get the sense of Superman as a symbol and a man just trying to do the right thing. It’s not flashy, but I think it will stick with me in a quiet, meaningful way.
