Prime Clone
Super Freak
Wow, I didn't know that was from the comics. Still, after 3 Nolan era Batman films and MoS (especially MoS) never mentioning it , it seemed too convenient. I also thought it was unnecessary, because it wasn't as if Superman couldn't fly a few hundred miles in a matter of seconds to reach Gotham and have the same confrontation with Batman.
I'm sure Snyder had some deep meaning in mind, like the light and dark mirror images facing each other across the harbour!
Have they always been neighboring cities, or was that a retcon for a particular run of comics? I'm guessing the latter?
I'm sure it's only in certain comics. I haven't read that many comics overall, I just recall it from the late '80s.
It's not that it wasn't apparent what Snyder was going for, it's just that IMO it didn't come off as intended.
I do think it was lost on most people, especially casual viewers.
