Superman, In Reverse Back to Blog
Hmmm…not so sure my title up there makes sense, but well–let’s just go with it, okay? At night, I’ve been trying to run a mile on the treadmill (trying, failing–and pretty much walking that mile), but because I like to be entertained during my exercises (if I can call ’em that), I watch DVDs. My favorite exercise choices? Buffy (Zoe, you knew I’d say that!) and Lois & Clark.
Now, I could easily write forever about how Buffy inspires me. Five minutes of Spike, and I have an influx of paranormal ideas. 🙂
Today, though, I won’t rant and rave about Buffy, I’ll talk about Lois and Clark instead. I’ve been a fan of Superman and Lois Lane for as long as I can remember. And, if I had to choose between Clark Kent and Superman, I’d choose Clark, hand’s down. Can’t help it–I love the smart, quiet type. (What about you?)
As I was watching an episode the other night, I realized I’d love to read a book or watch a movie in which the Superman equation was flipped–I’d like for the heroine to be the one with the secret identity, and I’d like the hero to be the good-looking, smart, but sometimes in-need-of-saving character. Is that too much to ask? And if you know of such a book/movie, please tell me! I’ll put it on my reading/watching list!

I would love this too! Jennifer Estep writes a fun Superhero series, in which so far all the protags are from the women’s pov. So far they’ve hooked up with guys who have superpowers too, but the heroine in Hot Mama is more powerful than the hero. If you haven’t read her Bigtime books, I think you’d like them.
Hey, you could write the reverse Lois/Superman book yourself. It would be great!
I like this idea and can’t think of anything right now, darnit!
Hey, Cindy! I was thinking the same thing as Edie; you’d be a great one to write that book. I did watch a comedy/western the other day where the clumsy cowboy got rescued by a gal all the time. Pretty fun stuff. 🙂
hehe I’d choose evil clark. You know, when he gets ahold of the red kryptonite. I can’t help it. He’s just so growly. And I can’t believe I missed this post. HAHAHAHAHA. I totally walk on my treadmill and watch Buffy on DVD sometimes too. hahahahahahaha. I don’t know why this is so funny. We’re going to have to meet up sometime at a con or something and just be crazy Spuffy freaks.
Hi, Edie! I’ve heard about Jennifer’s books–I think I’ll have to check ’em out now–thank you!!
Hey, Brandy! I thought it would be kinda fun. 🙂
LaDonna–you and Edie are tempting me!
Zoe–I always had a soft spot for Evil Clark, LOL. What a guy!! And we will definitely have to meet up soon. Are you going to RT next year?
I don’t know. When and where is it? It cracks me up that you have a soft spot for Evil Clark. It’s such a good thing that we’re both married and safe from ourselves. 😛
Oh, and I now have a little crush on the side on my new villain. I need therapy. hehe
