He worked with Richard Donner for four years, leaving the company to pursue writing full-time.

Mientras Clark recorre Metrópolis, atónito, se encuentra con una ciudadanía que vive deprisa, avara y descontrolada. Llega al Daily Planet, un edificio ruinoso plagado de grafitis. Dentro, se esfuerza por coger su maletín y tirarlo sutilmente. En el ascensor se encuentra con Rudy Jones, un conserje que dice haber olvidado su almuerzo. Jones, tomando a Cark por un patán del campo, lo convence de que le entregue su almuerzo.

Clever, funny, interesting. Nice start to his career.

Me gusta la representación de Metrópolis como contraste con la idea que Clark representa, y los guiños a Superman del 78 siempre se agradecen.
