--What is your current POV character's weakness?
You mean... his Kryptonite? ^-^ True story, I saw a Reddit post where someone said "Every character has what we call 'their Kryptonite,' or their big weakness. What is Superman's Kryptonite?"
But aside from the obvious Kryptonite and magic (I don't think Gotham by Gaslight Superman has run into either, actually!) I think GbG Clark's biggest weakness is maybe not knowing who he is? He doesn't seem to have access to the Kryptonian background and information that our Clark does, and that means he's lacking a lot of useful information about himself that might come back to bite him. Also, in the GbG universe there's something funky about the Kryptonians that's different from the base world-- there was a Kryptonian colony in Antarctica or something? It isn't clear yet, and I'm really anxious to have the Justice League comic from that work come out (it's apparently due in June!)
Tell me more about your current POV character and their weak points, and I hope your writing is going well!
