FDK: Atonement (1/?) - 03/25/06 12:00 PM
Well, I think you can breathe again, Beverly. It's not at all scary.
We're clearly in the realm of the cartoons here, which would normally be something of a turn-off for me, but I'm going to keep watching this one out of curiosity to see where it leads. In other words, you've hooked me in.
You asked about characterisation. Well, I suspect I'm enormously biased because of the cartoon aspect, but Clark doesn't quite feel like our Clark. Perhaps it's his character as reflected in Bruce's interaction with him that does it - for example, that last line about not letting Clark kill Tempus before he's had a chance to outline his plan. I know it was said with a touch of black humour, but even so, I can't imagine saying that to our Clark because Clark would (almost) never kill anyone. Like I said, though, my opinion is probably coloured by the presence of other cartoon characters and the unusual setting - ie, Lois dead and the eleven-year-old daughter.
BTW, who is Diana? I assume she's another cartoon character, but not having read any of them, I wouldn't know.
Keep writing!
Yvonne
