but when you see that he's also the kind of kid that plays chicken with trains, you can see the character trait of unthinking stupid kid is there, it's not a stretch.
he's a dummy, he's going on about playing football and pa kent has to tell him that his powers come with responsibility as he is destined for great things.
the kid is dumb, he should be concerned with what he is going to grow up to be, not kicking footballs and jumping in front of trains.
i can sympathise with people who don't like that character trait being in the donner movie, as he wasn't a dummy at that age in the comics, he was a fully fledged superhero as a teenager, and took responsibility for his powers.
i am being a bit of a hypocrite as i don't like Batman89 very much as the characterisation of Batman, Alfred and the joker are far off the comicbook versions i grew up with. so i can see why some people would have a problem with a stupid teenage superman, but i don't, probably because i didnt read any superboy comics when i was growing up, and because i was also a stupid unthinking tearaway as a teenager, i can relate.
