Having only watched the Teen Titans cartoon I thought his name was just "Slade".

cannot say DEATH on a cartoon.

they could not use the name DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR

(incidently DEAD POOL began as a joke about DEATH STROKE)

Basically, the reading that White knows about Clark's alter-ego hinges upon interpreting all of his dialog as thinly-veiled, but acerbically witty and self-conscious "put on" for the sake of copping for this god-man. The fundamental question we need to ask is, why would Perry agree to have the Superman on his journalistic staff? Because you saved my life? What does that mean with regards to your obviously false credentials which I now need to become complicit in fabricating so that we can conveniently ignore that you're just some dirt farmer's kid who's only ever been trusted to clean tables and turn valves your whole life?

It's an almost conspiratorial way of interpreting the film, that Perry gets off on his performance of just persistently down-talking to or ignoring Clark's opinion, he's totally unafraid of the man of steel and completely cynical about his "real world skills." Like, when he says, "clicks his heels three times and goes back to Kansas, I suppose," it's his more-Marvel-than-Marvel moment where he just roots his life in the history of popular "dreams," one that he can't escape from.

The problem is Perry never acts like a guy who's as in love with the image of Superman as the Cowardly Lion is with the image of Dorothy, possessing them to strive to be more than they think they can be because of their fear (one of the "market," the other of "violence"). But "the Superman" is completely peripheral to Perry's perspective - He sees a picture of his defaced monument and, within ear-shot of the guy, vocally announces that he's going to perpetuate dialog speculating over his motives as an invasive "man from the sky" rather than criticism of the flagrantly immoral Gotham police force. Perry only brings up the Superman explicitly in private conversation once, and it's based on his relationship to him through Lois, who he cynically assumes is only out to make "her boyfriend" out to be a victim. But Perry clearly doesn't even take the idea of "a threat to Superman" seriously. He considers Superman's existence just an opportunity to sell papers, not a more complex political narrative that refers back to systemic problems.

The point is that Perry is alienated from the moral universe that people who know Superman personally are forced to occupy. He sees everything as one big "honey-pot," basically.

I hate Batman, in general.

Brooding and being depressed and shutting people out of your life does not make you cool, it's debilitating.

You cannot just shut down your emotions or just run on negative ones and become a perfect god of euphoric rationality who's always better than everyone at everything and always right.

He's not a human character, he's not anything positive, he is the most negative superhero and should never have been taken seriously. Batman was a mistake, he's nothing but trash.

Doesn't matter if they're aware of it, they still make him the guy who is always right and better than anyone
And his fans keep saying he's the best superhero because he doesn't have powers even though he does poo poo like canonically never sleep.

I know everyone likes to be "lol anime is poo poo", but I love 'The Thing' and if this anime is basically 'The Thing' with the serial numbers filed off, then that sounds like something I could get into. Is it worth watching? Is there any place to stream it? I see the bluray set is like $40 on Amazon, I'm not really up for blind-buying something that expensive unless I'm absolutely sure it's loving great.

I think you can just watch the cartoon on crunchyroll.
