Grieving Superman/Clark in Justice League
“Martha is seeing everyone mourning this Superman character, but she’s mourning Clark, her son. And she can’t tell anyone that Superman was her son. It’s a terrible loneliness and pain for her to go through. It’s excruciating for both Martha and Lois to see all these people mourning a man that none of them truly knew.” – Henry Cavill
“[Lois is] now Lois after Clark. She’s not the same person that she was, and she definitely feels the absence of the hope that he had brought into her life. It feels devastating, so she’s isolating herself.” Instead, she writes fluff pieces for The Daily Planet, because “she can’t go back and face the world again just yet.” – Amy Adams
I keep remembering how many people freaked out when Martha Kent said:
“Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument. Be anything they want you to be. Or be none of it. You didn’t owe this world a thing anyway.”
Don’t you think Clark having a choice in his status makes it stronger?
He’s not just Superman because he needs to be, he’s Superman because he wants to be.
He wants to save the world. He wants to be a hero. It makes everything he does much stronger because it’s his choice to be this way.
Humans are these dark, twisted beings. We’re this unsettling mix of good and bad.
Yet there is a person who looked at us, looked the darkest of us in the eye and realized that he wanted to help us. He wanted to use his powers for our benefit.
Doesn’t that mean anything to anyone?
Superman could easily leave the earth and go as far away as he can, but he doesn’t, because he made the choice to stay on earth and help humanity out.
And it’s that choice to stay that truly makes Clark Kent super.
Martha: “When you were a baby I used to lay by your crib at night listening to you breathe, it was hard for you, you struggled, and I worried all the time.”
Clark: “You worried the truth would come out.”
Martha: “No. The truth about you is beautiful, we saw that the moment we laid eyes on you. We knew that one day, the whole world would see that. I’m just…I’m worried they’ll take you away from me.”
Clark: I’m not going anywhere, mom. I promise.

I demand fic of Bruce Wayne sitting uncomfortably at Martha Kent’s dining room table as she pours him a glass of lemonade and asks him about himself.
“Oh, uh. Well. I’m uh. Batman,” he says.
And Martha’s like, “Yes, dear, you’ve told me, I meant do you have any hobbies or interests?”
And Bruce is just sweating and trying not to mention his dead mother.
#martha: maybe u collect things?#bruce: orphans#martha: ??????#bruce: adopt. i mean ive adopted 6 children (via @assajj)
as soon as she asks him to tell her abt the children tho he flies into like essay-length rants abt how amazing his kids are and how much he loves them
