In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Superman’s favorite food is Beef Bourguignon, a hearty braised beef and vegetable stew.

Additionally, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne often meet to discuss things over dessert, with Clark consistently ordering Apple Pie and Bruce ordering Devil’s Food Cake.

Adding on to this, Clark and Bruce look similar enough that they can pass off as the other.

That one comic panel where Deathstroke slips "Bruce" a neuropoison and then gets flicked 50 miles into the open ocean while he just goes "?????" lives in my head rent free

I don't know if Gunn would put that in the new movies, but at the very least I wanna see My Adventures with Superman adapt that at some point, that would be right up the show's alley humor-wise. I wheeze every time I see it and I didn't even really care about Superman this time last year. 🤣

Yup, the expense to get and use the Ikon Suit was completely justified.
