Breaking The Forth Wall--And The Fifth, and Sixth, And...

It's imaginary story time! [Editor's note--aren't they all imaginary?] [snell's note--shut up.]

A rare alloy of green, red and gold kryptonite has caused Clark Kent to lose all his powers, and forget that he was ever Superman!!

So the years go by, and everyone assumes that Superman died somewhere in space or something. And eventually, the Hollywood vultures decide to cash in by making a big-screen documentary!

Of course, all of the Super Friends are there:

You have to love Atom's little chair...

But wait...don't some of these guys know that Clark is/was Superman? Why didn't they step in at some point over the years?

Because? Because why...? Why?!?!?!

What? Wait..I mean...hold on...how...wait...I don't...



Folks,they just out-Deadpooled Deadpool, several decades early!

P.S. Yes, I know Robin knew Clark's secret identity, too. So why did Batman leave him out? Clearly, after so many years, that can't be all-grown up-by-now Dick Grayson as the "Boy" Wonder...it must be the Silver Age Jason Todd!!

From Superman #192 (1967)

I assume this was a bit of payback for all of the Super-Dickery that went on?

Geez, Martin, it only cost me 25¢!!

Also, beware--the issue is only part one of a two-part story...
