I have seen multiple messages on Twitter criticizing the new Supergirl trailer because she identifies Superman as "Clark" instead of "Kal" in a private setting. Seriously?

•••

It was Julie Swartz who started pushing the heavy sci-fi elements, during his tenure as editor. The whole vision of Superman as a "stranger in a strange land".

As if a lifetime on Earth, raised among humans, with human parents, would not have buffed away most of his Krytonian "edges". When the "Great Rao!" nonsense started, after my time as a regular reader, I took deep offense on behalf of Ma and Pa Kent.

Clark is his name! The fact that Supergirl uses it in the movie is actually a plus in my book.
