That just seems incredibly out of character for Clark. Why would he be into early Metallica at all? It makes no sense. Even worse is Superboy's embarrassing dialogue! It does make me want to re-read the Return of Superman, lame as a lot of it is.

There's a funny panel where Superboy is staring at Supergirl's chest and he says "I was chest choking...I mean, just joking!"

That's from the Joe Kelly run. It's good stuff. I think that's the issue where Conner finally ditches the leather jacket as well.

He initially gets another jacket that lasts until the end of the series. I dont recall seeing it in Young Justice though.

What kind of boring rear end in a top hat isn't into early Metallica? Beside Batman I mean.

It makes total sense to me that Superman would just randomly like some poo poo. He'd probably keep it quiet so it doesn't come off as like "Superman likes Metallica, therefore every idiot opinion given by a member of Metallica is Super-Endorsed." Obviously Batman would know.

It must be insane being a kid sidekick in a world where people like Power Girl are just walking around and having conversations and nobody thinks anything is unusual.

In that Alan Moore story about Superman's birthday, he has Batman kind of address this with Robin when he asks how Wonder Woman wears her outfit when it's so cold outside the Fortress of Solitude, and Batman says something weird like "think clean thoughts, chum" with a weird grin.

I like to imagine it's a bit like being raised in a nudist colony or around adult entertainers-- it just normalizes in your mind with enough exposure. Plus there are loads of nightlife environments, hobbies, and clubs where you can see as much or more irl and most guys seem to do alright.

"Wizardry" can also mean being so good at something it seems like magic, not literally magic. Like someone being "a wizard with numbers" or whatever.
