I thought "Superman's Day of Truth" was an interesting Silver Age "puzzle story", first with the puzzle of why Superman and Supergirl were so brutally honest, then, after we learn the reason for that, the puzzle becomes "How will Superman get out of this without lying?" Of course, since it's a Silver Age story, other questions come to mind for us: Couldn't Superman and Supergirl tell the truth /diplomatically? Did it really honor the legacy of Val-Lor, whose truth-telling got him killed, for Superman to weasel out of revealing uncomfortable truths by hair-splitting (I'll tell my secret identity by writing it on this blackboard, but in a way that won't allow anyone to read it. I'll reveal the location of an abandoned Fortress, rather than the one I'm currently using. I'll reveal my feelings to Lois and Lana, but again, in a way they won't be able to understand.) Also, in the criminal trial, shouldn't the judge have made a ruling on whether Superman was required to reveal his identity, and, if the judge said he must, I don't think the judge would have accepted "I'll write it on this board, but only once." especially since, by making it unreadable, he didn't really answer the question.
ReplyDeleteI must say, I especially liked hearing Bud Collyer's "Superman voice" at the end of this episode talking about "good Americans". Thanks for that.
I'm glad you appreciated it. Sadly, it's a sentiment that's needed today more than when Bud Collier first spoke those words. It seems like some people want to regress as a society.
