For nearly half a month, the news in Metropolis has almost without any surprise focused on one person - Superman. Lois Lane, a reporter for the Daily Planet, was the first person to be saved by Superman and the first person to adopt the title of "Superman". These two firsts gave this reporter a strange sense of responsibility and curiosity, allowing her to write a special feature on Superman when almost no one paid attention to Superman, despite the risk of being blasted by the editor-in-chief Perry.

Facts have proved that this was not a whim, but a wise and foresighted move.

The Daily Planet was the first to try this out.

Superman did not become a fleeting meteor as many people predicted and questioned. The maturity he showed was similar to the feeling he gave people. When you looked at him, you could feel the positive side of your heart being stimulated.

More and more people in Metropolis are getting used to seeing their city's superhero moving between buildings when they look up. They eagerly discuss Superman's abilities, his costume, and his expression, and they want to follow that figure with binoculars in the hope of figuring out a series of questions.

What is his name?

Where is he from?

Is he a mutant?

Where is the limit of his power?

Where is his weakness? Does he really have a weakness? Why did such a powerful creature appear on Earth? What changes will he bring to the future of all mankind?

People who focus on the first few questions often look at things from a different perspective than those who focus on the last few questions. The former admire heroes from an admiring perspective, while the latter are full of scrutiny and doubt, worrying that someday that uncontrollable power will be directed at them.

From a neutral perspective, it is difficult to judge whether these two views are right or wrong. They both have reasonable starting points. It can be said that they are the conflict between the two instincts of human beings: admiration for strength and unwillingness to entrust safety to the hands of others.

The thing is, Superman didn't have to endure this.

He is the one who has the power to open and end everything. In the face of absolute strength, any argument loses its foothold and becomes frivolous and ridiculous.

——From the beginning, Superman didn't have to save anyone.

Unlike Batman, who first appeared silently at night, the superhero of Metropolis puts himself in the spotlight from the moment he appears on the stage. He does not hide his face, nor does he refuse to be photographed or recorded. If it were not for the fact that he disappears from everyone's sight for a few moments every day, it would almost make people think that Superman has no free time for himself except helping others.

Last weekend, as Superman was bringing the kitten down from the tree, someone asked him, "What do you think of the war situation in the Middle East?"

"Sorry?" Superman asked in a questioning tone.

"Actually, I think you look a bit like Captain America." The man holding the cat said, "But you know that Captain America has been to the battlefield, right? He is a man who has actually contributed to world peace. I mean, since you have the ability, why are you here saving cats instead of going to a place where you are more needed?"

The conversation ended in vain, and the handsome young man, whose feet had left the ground, simply responded with a slightly guilty silence.

Lois Lane even felt that behind his smiling face there was a calm understanding, as if he was waiting for people's enthusiastic cheers and applause, as well as those unfriendly doubts. This was what she saw as the preciousness of Superman at the moment, beyond his ability and appearance - he could have been on the throne of God, but he chose to walk with humans.

"But maybe he hasn't thought about it that much?" Clark Kent, a reporter who recently came to the Daily Planet for an internship, said carefully when she expressed her opinion. "Superman is indeed very strong, but he is not a god and can't do everything."

"That's just a metaphor." Louise looked at him with contempt, with a bit of sympathy from an old hand in the industry for a new employee. "Anyway, he saved me and others, which is worthy of me writing more good things about him in the newspaper... I have also seen the war. There is a famous saying from Ehrenburg, 'The soldiers chew the bread, and the war devours the soldiers.' Only those who have never seen people can say empty nonsense. Captain America was forced by the current situation. It is obviously the best thing for Superman not to get involved."

After she finished her insightful remarks, she changed the subject the next second: "When 'Erenburg' is translated into English, does it have an 'h'?"

"...Yes." Moses replied woodenly.

Louise Lane's attitude basically represents the attitude of the Daily Planet.

This newspaper, chosen by Superman by chance, unexpectedly became the most powerful voice for him in the media.

To the point that Moses actually began to consider whether to give Lois an exclusive interview to thank her for her tireless production of articles that would make Superman himself cover his face with his hands and twist his expression.

It just so happens that these newspapers have really high sales.

"Because even if you exclude my personal feelings, Superman is the hottest topic in Metropolis right now, even more so than Luther's new patent," said Louise. "In short, the residents of Metropolis right now are either Superman fans or twisted Superman haters."

She is right.

In the following period of time, Superman took time to fly to a laboratory in the wilderness and did a full set of examinations with Batman. He was away for about three days. After returning, he found that half of the newspapers said that he was in danger, and the other half began to pessimistically believe that Superman was hit and decided to spend the rest of his life in anonymity.

Moses:"……?"

I was only gone for three days! Three days!

He later discussed the subject with Louise while they sat together for afternoon tea.

The female reporter rested her chin on one hand and stirred her coffee with the other, mumbling anxiously: "No one has seen Superman for three consecutive days. Where has he gone? Where does he live? Does he have any relatives? What color pajamas does he like to wear? Does he have a dog? What should I do if he doesn't come back for my interview?"

"...He will come back."

Her companion could only offer some dry words of comfort.

"I heard that your birthday is in two days." He changed the subject, "Do you have any wishes that you want to fulfill?"

"Superman interview?" Louise said without hesitation.

Moses was impressed and decided to fulfill her wish - he really needed someone to explain his origins to the world. If possible, he would be happy that this person was Louise. The Daily Planet was not a tabloid, and it was a strange coincidence that the editor-in-chief assigned it to a female reporter and let her guide him.

Clark Kent is not a person similar to Superman on the surface.

He is tall, and because of this strength, which is contrary to his temperament, he shows a kind of lovable clumsiness. Clark's austerity in dealing with people is not completely false. Under Superman's perfect appearance, he always has some emotions in his heart, and he regards himself as equal to the people he belongs to and loves deeply.

How can a homeless stranger be accepted?

Just blend in.

Moses is not saying that Superman is unhappy, he just feels lonely sometimes.

Louise Lane is a wise and sharp lady. Her beauty does not conceal her wisdom and courage. She is one of the most representative ordinary people who do not have superpowers that Moses knows.

She didn't understand the little jokes Clark Kent made in his daily life, but she never really despised them.

They met and interacted in a short time, becoming friends who could trust each other even though they couldn't understand each other. Perhaps there are some friendships in this universe that are unbreakable no matter how the world changes.

Superman landed gently in the backyard of Lois Lane's suburban villa on a starry night.

When the female reporter panicked and pointed her gun at the uninvited guest, she saw a pair of blue eyes flashing with smiles under the starlight.

"Good evening." The young man who had told her not to play with his phone in the middle of the street half a month ago suddenly appeared in her house without any warning after being missing for three days. He greeted her lightly and happily as if nothing had happened. "I heard that you always wanted to interview me. I happened to have time today, so I came."

Lois was excited and angry, and almost wanted to pull the trigger to see if the body was really as strong as steel. But her shaking hands loosened, and the metal weapon was caught by Superman before it fell to the ground and placed on a low table beside her.

"I'll go get a notebook."

She rushed back to the room, leaving Superman alone in the garden, went to the bathroom to fix her hair and put on some makeup, and was glad that she had not changed out of her dress after the party. Then she picked up her notebook and trotted back the same way.

"Sorry for the long wait." Louise said breathlessly, feeling a little embarrassed by the other person's clear gaze. "You really don't mind me asking a question?"

"I promise you." Superman pulled out a chair and motioned for her to sit down. "I'm sure I'm ready."

"First question then." Louise felt that her voice was shaking with nervousness. She was like a novice reporter who was entrusted with an important task for the first time. Her mind was in a mess and she finally figured out the clues. "What's your name?"

"Kal-El."

"How do you spell it... well, that doesn't sound like English."

"Indeed," Superman said casually, "it's the language of another planet - I'm an alien."

The only human present looked up in amazement.

They stared at each other for a long moment to make sure Superman was not joking.

After a long pause, the female reporter cleared her throat, lowered her head and typed with a serious expression, and continued to ask: "I understand. Don't worry, this is not without precedent. Where is your hometown? Why did you come to Earth?"

"It was far away," the questioner said vaguely, "but it was destroyed. I landed on Earth and made it my second home."

"…You grew up on Earth?"

“Yes.”

"So do you have parents? I mean, adoptive parents?"

This time Superman was silent for a longer time.

"No," he replied with a smile.

Louise bit her tongue and forced herself to wake up and not be mesmerized by the beauty - it was really difficult, Superman's blue eyes were more beautiful than the night sky.

They continued to ask a few irrelevant questions, and Lois even felt that she was stalling for time, but Superman was indeed prepared as he said, answering every question and being extremely patient.

There always has to be a final topic to wrap up the show.

The female reporter thought about it for a while, and then, thinking of the hot topics that people have been debating recently, she asked on impulse, "Do you have any known weaknesses?"

Moses immediately thought of the lead plate in the Batcave.

And Bruce Wayne's buying up kryptonite all over the world.

Superman's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Noticing these complex emotions, even though she knew she was doing her job as a reporter, Louise still felt a little regretful for the question she had just asked.

But the words were out.

"If you don't want to talk, I don't care..."

"Lead." This time Superman answered more quickly, as if he was waiting for her to ask this question. Anyway, according to the system, his weakness would be known to every villain in the universe sooner or later, so it didn't matter if he explained it in advance. "This metal can block my vision. And kryptonite, if you have heard of this substance - it can kill me."

This is not right.

Louise thought as she typed in shock. This is definitely not a normal conversation.

Superman shouldn't be so superficial when talking about his fatal weakness.

Judging from his past conversations, he truly regards the Earth as his only home.

But if it is to gain people's trust - which is one of the purposes of this interview - and to reassure those he protects, the price to pay is too heavy.

Louise lowered her head, thinking back over the conversation and the words she had written.

There was a moment when she felt that Superman's love for the earth was too deep and he underestimated the bottom line of human beings.

But is this really his problem? Louise didn't dare to say at this time.

Until the next day, a man named General Drew Zod, the leader of an army claiming to be from the destroyed planet Krypton, seized major communication lines in the United States with technological means far superior to those of the Earth, and announced his arrival and purpose to the world: to order humans to hand over the fertility book containing Kryptonian genes.

He has ambitions to colonize Earth and restore Krypton to the universe.

Before the US government responded, Superman took the lead.
