I think Ultraman's mask looks like Doomsday's

That was my first thought on seeing him.

There’s no Ulysses in The Authority. But I can see the confusion that Griff makes here. The Ultraman suit is black and looks like the Midnighter costume (that universes Batman) and then there is Apollo (that universes Superman). So this feels like a mashing of those two characters maybe? They are a gay couple and have some of the best scenes together in those first few volumes. While I like them on their own I don’t really need an Authority movie. They work better when they’re separate from the main DCU anyway. That said, I did like them peppering the Engineer in here as a threat - even if she was a less interesting version than the comic character.

I JUST mentioned to my wife how much Corenswet reminded me of Mummy era Brendan Fraser. Thank you Griffin!!

David knowing who Ultra Boy and the Legion of Super-Heroes are has endeared him to me for life. ❤️. Hope you have read Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's Legion Lost!

My big hiccup with the parent twist is that Jack Quaid’s My Adventures with Superman pulled a similar twist but I’m willing to see where they go with this version

didnt mention the Russian Roulette bit is kind of taken from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (where RDJ kills the guy on the first bullet lol)
