This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]457043[/split]
He could but I don't think that's the point. All about humbling oneself and being human. That's what I take out of it. Soul searching. Especially after I presume what happens when the tornados hit Smallville...I dunno, why's he hitch hiking then? He could zoom through the air. Without his suit, people would think he was a bird or a plane ...

Indeed.he's hitchhiking because he doesn't want to use his powers. he's on a mission to learn more about himself, about people, about life as we know it.
it's a rite of passage. aka character development.

EXACTLY!!! Too many people want Henry to start and end as "classic Superman." But most origin stories are a journey, from Peter Parker transitioning away from shyness and fear, to Bruce gaining an identity he could call his own, to Tony Stark realizing the world is bigger than him. Why should Clark becoming Superman be any different?
Probably a way to keep peaceful and low key. He'd probably go out of his way to stand under the radar only to have to save people.
Speaking of which, since Zoddoesn't know that Krypton's been blown up, do you think that he would recruit Superman to reclaim his home planet, only for Supes to tell him the truth? That way, he would set his sights on Earth. I think they find out who he is, and then it gets personal.

Isn't having all his powers starting as "classic Superman" ?
Nah that's just Superman flying by.I love the smell of new thread in the morning.

Hmm. You're sort've onto something but not quite. For us watching the film most definitely that works beautifully and I think the film does aim for that with the scene of the young Clark with the cape. However I don't think Clark's turning point for his journey is finding his inner child. Not at all.It could also be a story about finding your inner child. As children we have our lives in front of us. A child's imagination has no boundaries. Look at young Clark in the field playing with his cape.
But the longer you live in this world and progress into adulthood, reality has a way of taming one's imagination. What once seemed possible doesn't seem so possible anymore. It looks like Clark doesn't "take flight" until he awakens that inner child within himself. Maybe that's what the cape will symbolize.
