Frankly if they're trying to reboot and modernize the Superman character, they should probably ditch the Daily Planet altogether.
Have him be a freelance AP reporter or something, working on important stories in war-torn countries. Or make him an Anderson Cooper type for a CNN-style show.
Even if the Planet is supposed to be the equivalent of a powerhouse like the New York Times, it still feels awfully quaint and outdated to see Superman working at a newspaper in 2011. |
I see your point but the Planet could be a web content provider, not unlike what the Times (or Wall St Journal) is evolving into.
And as an aside, if anything, I think the issue is more pressing with Spiderman. At this point, anyone with a camera phone should be selling Spidey pics to Jameson.
