@futurebird also why is he talking like a bee.

bzz bzz is definitely bee-talk

@futurebird

as usual the cover is just pre-internet clickbait

none of that shit happens

@futurebird also

the ants are actually aliens. i didn't see that coming

@futurebird

he does get an ant head somehow though via red kryptonite.

like red kryptonite can do anything apparently

you ever think he like turns himself into lois with it and wears her shoes

@futurebird

i feel like there's not enough body horror in the DC cinematic universe.

hey James Gunn don't sleep on this lore

@gloriouscow

How is this body horror?

@futurebird how is it not??

imagine feeling your eyeballs bulge out into huge black compound insect eyes and your vision split into a thousand different facets

@futurebird @dhobern Usually, in this era, Red Kryptonite affects Superman in some random, goofy and story-specific way that wears off after a few days. It gives him a bulging super-brain or the head of a lion or alters his personality, and it's always a different effect. I guess in this case he knew this "cloud" had a specific effect he could exploit...

@futurebird also how does he know how to speak ant just because he grew an ant head

i could turn into a dolphin and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't make me fluent in porpoise

@gloriouscow

Insects don't see things split up like that. It's integrated in their mind.

But you could talk to the ants at last. (or at least understand what they were going on about... you'd need pheromones to really fully communicate. ) That would be wonderful.

@gloriouscow

Now that is a better question. But it's superman so. IDK just go with it.
