History Characters / DCAUSuperman

* LastOfHisKind: He is the last Kryptonian, as per usual.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: He has less significant ties to the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes in this continuity, only being visited by three of them (Chameleon Boy, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl) during his teenagehood in "New Kids in Town", when in the comics (aside from some {{Cosmic Retcon}}s that chose to downplay or outright discard the Legion's ties to Superman, usually in relation to the established continuity at the time choosing to eschew Superman's past as the original Superboy), the Legion was inspired to form by Superman's adventures as Superboy and appreciated him enough to use time travel to recruit the young Superman-to-be into their team and regularly allow him to participate on their missions.

* AdaptedOut: His role from the comics and most versions of being the first Superboy during his teenagehood is not included in the ''DCAU'' since Clark here follows the comics' take on his history established Post-Crisis in Creator/JohnByrne's ''ComicBook/TheManOfSteel'' miniseries (before his time as Superboy was restored to canon by ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' and Creator/GeoffJohns' ''ComicBook/SupermanSecretOrigin'' miniseries) of beginning his superhero career in adulthood as Superman. The ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes crossover in "New Kids in Town" pointedly has Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy interact with a teenage Clark Kent who has yet to open up to publicly using his powers to help people, while the dubiously canon tie-in comic ''ComicBook/TheSupermanAdventures'' had the 26th issue feature a 16-year-old Clark deciding against donning a costume until he's grown older under the reasoning that the world would benefit more from a hero who's experienced and properly matured.

* AgeLift: Clark in the ''DCAU'' doesn't become Superman until he is an adult, when Pre-Crisis continuity established that he first entered superheroics during his adolescent years as Superboy (which was eschewed in Post-Crisis continuity in favor of establishing Clark as not publicly using his powers to help people until he donned the identity of Superman as an adult before being reinstated during ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', stricken from canon once more during the New 52 and reinstated again during DC's Rebirth era).

* WillfullyWeak: Superman has a tendency of holding back his powers during most of his battles in order to prevent people from getting killed, which also allows villains to get the best of him in some occasions. There is also the fact that the first season of ''Justice League'' subjected him badly to TheWorfEffect.

!!Franchise/{{Superman}}

* IThoughtEveryoneCouldDoThat: Played for laugh but he has a tendency of forgetting that his super-hearing makes him hear noises that humans can't, sometimes asking "Did you hear that ?" to the person next to him, after hearing an noise signaling a danger, such an explosion or a laser-made noise, only for the other person to believe that he's talking about something else.
