Look, on a major TV network!

Man, you know what I just thought of that I hadn't in forever? The Superman 50th anniversary TV special. I can't remember 90% of it, but it seemed to hew between real and fantasy, talking over his career and his influence on pop culture.

I think, anyway.

The part I'm thinking of was about the rival newspaper in Metropolis who DIDN'T have Clark Kent working for them. They had the EiC talking about sure, the Planet has Superman on the front page every day, but we have... Jumble, That Scrambled Word Game!

I just really felt sorry for that guy.

In my perfect world, Perry White ... no nonsense editor of The Daily Planet who isn't afraid of giving a hero a pat on the back, and isn't afraid of calling them to task either, exists in the same world as J Jonah Jameson, yellow journalist EiC of The Daily Bugle, who can't trust a hero, especially one that wants to hide behind a mask.

This is fueled no doubt by Marvel's "other paper" ... The Daily Globe.

There was a great bit in the second Superman/Spider-Man crossover where Peter does some work for the Daily Planet and is totally thrilled with Perry. Clark works for the Bugle and is not thrilled with working for JJJ.
