I do have much affection for Clarky. It took a long, long while for me to realize his strength was his compassion and ability not to be corrupted. I don't really want Clark to give up compassion. What I think Clark needs to find is some balance between leaving loose ends to come back to haunt him and meting out deadly justice left and right just because he can. I hope someday he finds this balance because every victim of any villain he leaves alive is on Clark's head. That must be hard to live with. I don't think it's godlike to save those potential victims. Hopefully, saving them would not be at the cost of Clark's soul but there must be a way to do both. Climb the slippery slope and not fall. Clark's a strong guy and if he's to be Superman he'll have to do this, yes?

Hmm . . . so SV villains can end up in Gotham? Really? I obviously know nothing about the comics or how the verses are related. But Belle Reve or Arkham Asylum it's still just containment. They can potentially get out, right? And the supernatural or alien villains go to the Phantom Zone? The thing is even if Clark manages to get Doomsday to the Phantom Zone I don't believe he'll stay there. I've only been watching for two seasons but Bizarro came back, Plastique, and another villain played by Tori Spelling came back just the other week. They just keep coming back!

It keeps Superman and the comics in business but it doesn't really solve the villain dilemma. Hmm. I don't usually get this thinky about SV lately! So thanks for responding to my comment. Maybe there is a way for permanent containment in the comicverse? Is that possible?
