 --Is there anything your current POV character CAN'T do?

That's a great question for anyone writing Superman--what are his limits, either physically or (maybe more importantly) mentally and emotionally?

The current Gotham by Gaslight Superman I'm writing is, I think, much more limited in terms of superpowers. We've never seen him fly, only run very fast, and I think a lot of Clark's box of tricks he doesn't have access to. Which makes for pretty interesting writing, actually!

I saw the new Superman movie and really loved it! This is the Clark I've been hoping to see on the big screen for decades. Now I just need to see if I can find a Bruce to pair him with (although I really did love his chemistry with Lois, too).

What are your current character's limits, defined in any way you like?

Adam is the POV character this time around. What he can't do is declare his love for his male partner in early '60s America. It saddens him, but he tries to be the best partner and cop he can be, hoping for someday.
