Is it just me, or does this sound like somebody is really projecting? "Superman is arguably the most powerful person on the planet, but how long can he sit at his desk with someone breathing down his neck and treating him like the least important person in the world?"

But say, it ain't so, Clark. If he started at the Daily Planet in the '40s, when he was in his '20s, he must be in his '80s or '90s by now. Isn't it about time he retired? Title: Re: EXTRA!

Title: Re: EXTRA! CLARK KENT QUITS DAILY PLANET! Post by: InformationGeek on October 31, 2012, 10:37:40 AM I'm over on Comic Book Resources a lot and at their forums. The members there don't see to mind it too much and are quite curious to see how this will overall play out.
I have read said comic where he quits and the scene brings to my mind images and scenes from HBO's The Newsroom in a way. I recommend you guys just read it and see what you think. The plot point wasn't that big in comparison to the rest of the story anyhow. Title: Re: EXTRA! CLARK KENT QUITS DAILY PLANET! Post by: alandhopewell on October 31, 2012, 12:48:55 PM Kent makes a point about major media news being too biased, and the desire to get back to the first love, telling the truth.
