Does Superman Ever Sleep In?

[marshal99]

um...he didn't have any powers at the time...

Really , he didn't ? I had forgotten.

If there isn't something that requires his attention as Superman, then he's been known to go as Clark Kent and have breakfast with his co-workers. Usually it was as Dooley's coffee shop. But he's never shirked his responsibilities unless he had a stand-in for him, when he couldn't. I cannot speak for the Pre-Crisis tales like the above posted, but I can for the Post Crisis era.

That's some disguise!

Yup, he lost his powers as a result of the events of Final Night and, at the time of the wedding and during the honeymoon, he had no powers.

It doesn't really matter if Superman sleeps in. He can just fly backwards around the Earth and rewind time. So hey, he may sleep in all the time and we just don't know it :)

That's some disguise!

Speaking of which wouldn't dressing up as a coffee shop slow Supes down? Wouldn't it create drag?

Not so that he'd notice, no :P

The coffee shop is made up of materials salvaged from an (untold) encounter with the Zoners when General Lane was duped into sending Kal into the Zone. As a result of the events in the Zone, the properties of the various materials were altered and took the (maleable) form of several constructs (a building, a car, and a 'pda').

Thought so.

Hmm...

I think I remember that in either Miracle Monday or Last Son of Krypton Maggin wrote that Superman did need to sleep, and did sleep every night,-- usually for like two or three hours, and then he was well rested.

I envision it as a real "Axe Cop" situation.

You know, kinda like that.

I think it's more of a mental need rather than a physical need for him - like all of us he needs a bit of a time out to dream properly (rather than inducing them, which he can do).

That's what I'm thinking too. Despite how super he is Supes still needs a little time to shut the world out, even if only for an hour or two.

[Mat001]

That doesn't preclude that if something needs his attention, he won't forego sleep to do what needs to be done.

Indeed. He's basically 'always on 'amber''.

[G@ry]

There's always some crisis or other.







Superman did hand over his superman metropolis duties when he went on his honeymoon with Lois.

those situations are ridiculous and Superman's a jerk with those kind of reactions even if he doesn't have powers there.


Lois and him just walk oveer the dead body like nothing Jeez.....

I think disguising himself as a coffee shop would probably speed him up once the caffeine kicks in...and the sugar from the doughnuts.

As for being ragged by Bill Maher, isn't Superman the ultimate Democrat, thus being immune to his criticism?
