* SpiritualAntithesis: Landis has described ''American Alien'' as the "anti" ''ComicBook/AllStarSuperman''. In some ways, you can see some direct contrasts. Rather than a perfect, infallible IdealHero as ''All-Star'' portrays, Landis's take on Superman is one of an AntiHero still finding his footing, prone to lashing out and even some immature comebacks. While ''All-Star'' is Superman at his best, ''American Alien'' shows Superman at his most human and imperfect. Furthermore, ''All-Star'' is Superman at the end of his life while ''American Alien'' shows a version of Superman's origins. This description was not lost on Creator/GrantMorrison, who responded to Landis's claims by [[TakeThat basing]] the VillainProtagonist of their series ''ComicBook/{{Annihilator}}'' on Landis.

Here, Clark isn't Bruce's friend (yet) and attacks him without hesitation giving Batman no time to react or do anything but desperately pull gadgets until he can blind Clark to get away.
