Good scene. I really like Damian here.

I like how Superman deals with Damian here.

He is such a good Dad. Its nice to see that he and Bruce at least are good fathers.

God, I love comics sometimes.

"Oh, hang on, there's an alien invasion in a major metropolitan city. Give me five minutes."

This is such an interesting contrast to the Alfred phone scene. Alfred thinks nothing of lying to the most decent guy on Earth. The boys do what they're told after some very limited persuasion.

Then again, Clark has always been Dick's cool uncle.

If Damian had chosen to go in, you KNOW Dick would have followed him and explanations to Uncle Clark would have had to come later.

I do love Dick and damian's relationship in moments like this.

And that is the most elegant riposte to Damian's scheme Clark could have come up with, he knows that Damian values only about three and a half relationships on Earth and which one he can directly, or indirectly influence.

1) Dick

2) Bruce

3) Jon

4) Talia (She's the half as I'm not sure they're still on speaking terms, if they are, I up it to four)

Shame DC has ditched Colin :/

[stubbleupdate]

Is Colin aka Abuse?

[janegray]

Yep. I thought he was a very likeable character, and I wish he could have stayed.

Apparently Damian is only allowed one future boyfriend at a time.

Suddenly, my perception of Damien is melding with Dr Gregory House.

Well there's also Goliath, the cat, the dog, the cow, The dollotron girl Sasha, and of course Nobody (whom we unfortunately haven't seen much of lately). I'm also fairly sure if anyone tried to hurt Alfred in front of him he'd pull their head off. Give it a few more years and Damian will be just like Bruce: a brooding loner that actually has a massive network of friends and family once you actually think about it.
