-Somehow Jor-El can predict the future and sent himself to Earth to find the right people to raise his son, so Kal-El's travels ending at around the Kent farm were not a coincidence.
-Ma and Pa Kent begin to snuggle and because of his super hearing lil' Clark overhears and asks what's going on.
-Ma Kent is almost sexually assaulted by a snidely whiplash type of tax collector who lil' Clark beats the crap out of him and scares off running for the hills calling the boy a 'devil'.
-First time Clark and Lois meet its at a frat party and Clark has his barn door open.
-Pa Kent dies of a heart attack not long after Superman is revealed to the world.
-Jor-El actually kills himself while in prison, his spirit lives on to communicate with Kal in, get this, Kryptonian heaven(I was not aware Heaven was different for every planet in the cosmos!) after exposing himself to radiation to save Lois.
-Superman fights a giant robot or two, all operated by Kryptonians even though on Earth they are able to become as strong as Kal and thus stronger than said robots(Nice logic!)
-Jimmy Olsen is written as a very stereotypical New York City punk, this is actually a image he creates to hide that he is a homosexual.
The regular print is stuff I could live with. But the bolded tells me they were throwing any ideas at the wall!
For example: I don't hate that they turned Jimmy homosexual, at least they were trying to do something with the character. Usually he gets ignored altogether. But it kinda bothers me that he was "written as a very stereotypical New York City punk, to hide that he is a homosexual" because there's tons of NYC kids that are just "out". No need to hide. And how would the reveal of his sexuality impact the story of Superman anyway?
