That was revealed to be Kandor. If I understsnd what you're talking about.
Quote: Perry as a two dimensional background character.
Lex in Smallville.
When has Perry ever been interesting?? My hope for a long time is that Perry would be bumped up to a guardian of Metropolis much in the same vein as Jim Gordon is in Batman's books. If you think though, that giving Perry a soap opera subplot involving failed marriages and troubles with his son makes for 3D characterization, I have to disagree. Plus what? Birthright is just starting out. How much characterization did Perry have halfways thru Byrne's MOS anyways?
Plus Lex in Smallville has been a constant from the Silver Age to todays TV show. ONLY Byrne's MOS didn't have a Smallville Lex. So MOS is the exception. Not a problem IMO.
Quote: Lois as victim.
Those are the ones that stand out.
I just think you're trying to tear down Birthright using any argument that you make up on the fly.
Lois has ALWAYS been a victim. Since 1938 even. She's also always been headstrong and stubborn. That is why she gets herself in situations where she needs rescue. That is as much a staple of Superman the character as his cape!
