Superman: The Last Son of Krypton Page #5

You wanna keep up, be quick.

- I'm no tour guide and I don't hold hands.

- You won't have to worry about that.

Jimmy. Jimmy Olsen,

say hello to Clark Kent.

- The new guy?

- Yeah.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jimmy.

I work as a copy boy,

but I'm a photographer.

- Good for you.

- I'd like to show you my pictures.

- Well, not right...

- They're hot, Mr. Kent, really.

I'm fearless. You can ask Miss Lane.

She uses me all the time.

Bye.

So I see.

You sure my nose isn't shiny?

Angela, don't tell me

you're actually covering real news.

What happened?

Run out of alien abductees?

At least my network

doesn't have to send two reporters...

...to cover the same story.

You'll have to introduce us sometime.

- Thanks for the quote.

- How did you get here so fast?

Oh, I just flew.

- What'd you get?

- A shared byline, if you use it.

I apologize. You're not

the rube hayseed I took you for.

Thanks. I think.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press...

...at this time we invite everyone into

the main hall for our special presentation.

The long-awaited debut of the next word

in military defense:

The Lexoskel 5000.

Constructed from a patented alloy,

the Lexo suit is virtually indestructible.

As seen in this footage

against these automated tanks...

...the Lexo suit stands up

to heavy punishment...

...and returns it in kind.

Guiding this suit is a single soldier...

...made more powerful

than an entire battalion.

And now, here' s to the future,

and the man who' s created it, Lex Luthor.

Bet you this beats

the dog-and-pony shows back home.

Time to crash the party, gentlemen.

- Excuse me.

- I'd like to say that I view the Lexo suit...

...not as an instrument of war,

but as an instrument to end war.

No way.

- It's him!

- The guy with the cape!

Gentlemen, believe it or not,

we are being tailed at 6 o'clock.

I don't know who he is

or what he is, but he's all yours.

I've got him.

He's dust.

Nice one, Clark.

- Look out. It's gonna hit us!

- My God!

Run, run, run!

- Oh, my gosh.

- Jump!

Did you see that?

Freeze it.

What is that? Can anyone tell me?

Looks like a flying guy.

No kidding. I know he's flying,

but who is he?

Where did he come from?

What does he want?

- Look who I'm asking.

- Nice S.

- Excuse me?

- Right here. He's strong. He flies.

He's the Nietzschean fantasy ideal

all wrapped up in a red cape.

- The superman.

- Superman?

Hey, I like it.

Superman. It's catchy, sticks with you.

The kind of name that looks great...

...splashed across three columns...

Four...

...provided one of you

can get an interview with him.

Somehow, I don't think a guy

like that has a press agent, chief.
