    I’m kinda wondering if this would actually work with the audience who knows Superman’s lore. It’d be like watching an episode of Blues Clues. “Gee, I can’t seem to figure out why those nineteen whole bullets that absolutely hit him square in the chest didn’t even slightly kill the guy.” “HE’S SUPERMAN YOU CONSUMMATE DINK!”

      All of the assassination attempts would need to involve less overt methods. Poisoning, pushing from tall buildings, etc. Most likely they’d need to outsource the jobs to mercenaries, since the CIA agents would figure it out immediately.

      Edit: I wonder if my response just landed me on some list. Ugh…

        Honestly, there’s times I wonder if all of us who just post on Lemmy would be on some list.

            Because of the communism?

            No, because of the perceived ‘radicalism’ for those who like to express their opinion.

            I was half serious and half kidding, by the way.

      You say Blues Clues, but I was envisioning more Mel Brooks with the CIA sorta like Darth Helmet and President Skroob.

      There’s no way something with this premise can take itself too seriously.
