Yes, the Supergirl scene ...Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Yes, the Supergirl scene precedes this. But I think that he realizes this is his last adventure and seeing Supergirl reminds him of their mortality.<br /><br />That was my take.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-85511130150511029842018-07-25T07:34:51.677-04:002018-07-25T07:34:51.677-04:00"He is faced with his own mortality and he is..."He is faced with his own mortality and he is crying."<br /><br />Huh? I thought he was crying because he'd just seen his deceased cousin again.<br /><br />"one wishes he'd a had a longer run with the "Supreme Family" so to speak."<br /><br />If I'm not mistaken, Moore lost his desire to write Superman stories after -or due to- the reboot. I guess I can understand it. DC ditched the character's long comic-book history and replaced it with a very different version. A Superman who wasn't the first and mightiest hero, was considerably weaker, never was Superboy or a Legionnaire or a JL fouding member, constantly visited his still-living parents, didn't give a damn about Krypton, had no surviving family or legacy, behaved like a bold, determined person in his civilian identity, his nemesis was a tycoon... Moore would feel like that Superman was a stranger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-60397531974287844602018-07-18T07:00:08.569-04:002018-07-18T07:00:08.569-04:00Thanks for comments.

Alan Moore later demonstrated that he knew well how to write for "Legacy Females" like Kara during his run on "Supreme"...."Suprema" (the hero's half sister) is a sort of earnest witty Love Letter to The Silver Age Supergirl, one wishes he'd a had a longer run with the "Supreme Family" so to speak.<br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-46363140263120762132018-07-17T09:06:15.758-04:002018-07-17T09:06:15.758-04:00Oh, good spot and great commentary, I missed that!...Oh, good spot and great commentary, I missed that!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.com
