Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Clark Kent
Heralding from Smallville in rural Kansas, mild-mannered Clark Kent is a reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper of Metropolis. Smart, quiet and unassuming, Kent is the civilian identity of Superman, a hero possessing awesome powers that he has used to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of justice.
Kent met Bruce Wayne while writing about a joint venture between Wayne Enterprises and LexCorp. Although Wayne had primarily traveled to Metropolis because he suspected The Joker was planning on using a large cache of Kryptonite to kill Superman. Utilizing his X-Ray vision, Superman was easily able to discern Batman’s secret identity as Bruce Wayne; and Batman returned the favor, using old fashion detective work to determine Superman’s alter ego as Kent.
Putting aside their differences, Batman and Superman joined forces to take down the Joker and save Metropolis. Despite getting off to a rocky start, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne would go on to be lifelong friends and allies.
Actor Tim Daly provided the voice for Clark Kent/Superman, first appearing in the debut episode of Superman: The Animated Series.

Oh my, so interesting what he explains about him and Téa. 🥹 So happy for them, and for him to have found someone like this. ❤️
[VIDEO BELOW - New interview with Kara]
Kara : How are things with your accomplice?? How is your accomplice?
Tim : She’s a miracle. I never thought that I would experience something like that at my age. And I had sort of come to terms with like maybe being alone or maybe being some kind of casual thing that wasn’t really too demanding and then we met and it all changed! It is the deepest, most fun, most truly intimate relationship I’ve ever had.
Kara : so why do you think that is? What’s different? What makes it like that?
Tim : […] We want someone to see us. And if we get into a place where we allow someone to really see us, everything, and they can look at that and say ‘Ok, ‘I’m okay with this. All this good stuff and all that bad stuff’ then it’s like a profound relief to be able to be your entire self and know that someone is not gonna blame you or try to change you in a way that’s punishing or belittle you for the things that you have that are human flaws; but you know, try to help you and try to encourage you to improve without trying to fix you. So, all that stuff.
Kara : So, there’s something about her that helped you trust that she would do that, be like that with you? Or were you at a time in your life where you were ready to expose yourself in that way?
Tim : All of the above. And, talking about fear, I was terrified because basically she said to me ‘Give it all, give me everything. Tell me the whole story, all the shit, all the stuff you’ve done you’re not proud of, you’re ashamed of, just tell me and I’ll deal with it’. And I was like ‘okay…’ thinking that perhaps I would get annihilated, you know, that I would step on the landmine the was in the mine field or the eggshells that was out there. I took that risk and I laid it all out and she was like ‘okay. Let’s do this’. Wow, you know and… [getting emotional]. It was and has been an amazing thing and feels not punishing at all. And… some of my relationships I’ve felt punished.
Kara : Right, which would make you think that future relationship would as well, because it was your history, it’s what you knew.
[…]
Kara : You and Téa met when you were on ‘Madam Secretary’. I don’t know if you met before that but that’s when you started becoming intimate. That ended like years ago now. How many years has it been?
Tim : Four years, five years, something like that.
Kara : So, it’s interesting that you are great with that situation, and your environment now is totally different; you’re not working together. And has it changed at all? Was it more something then or more something now?
Tim : That’s better. That’s better now. Yeah, you know, it’s funny because I’m pretty sure there were a lot of eyes rolling on set and lots of nervous people going like ‘Oh God, when that blows up it’s gonna be a disaster. Oh, on set romance…’ And we were a little bit before #MeToo so we could have our romance without being so careful about it, and all this stuff, and there was, I’m not sure if it’s actually called this, it’s called a ‘Love contract’ that you were supposed to fill out for CBS saying ‘We are in a relationship, we work together so if things go badly, we’re not gonna bring it to work’ but we never did.
Kara : Oh, you never signed it?
Tim: No, we never signed it and we never brought our shit to work.
Kara : Very good. There’s something going on that you’ve decided, you’ve approached the whole thing in a healthy way it seems like, to me […].
Tim : It’s pretty spectacular.
Kara : I also love the fact that she said ‘Give me all of it?’. Like she literally said that?
Tim : Yeah. It’s funny also, and so surprising for me. I showed up for work one day at Madam Secretary and I opened the door to my dressing room and there were like 25 pairs of high heel shoes and all this lingerie and I was like ‘What’s happening here?’ And Téa is like ‘Why do we have separate dressing rooms? I’ll just be in here.’ And first I was like ‘Wait, my space, etc.’ and I was like ‘No, she wants to be with me so badly that she’s moved her high heels into my room, so I better take this, this is a good thing.’ And her dressing room turned into a place where we would take naps. At lunchtime, we looked like cadavers. We would lie next to each other and just pass out for about 18 to 20 minutes, we got so good at it, and then we could continue on with our day.

I have to admit that this is very little about Tim’s play, but very much about his beautiful accomplice 🤣😅
First of all, let me just say this for the millionth time, look how happy and cute they are together 😍😍😍 🥰🥰🥰
And… how beautiful and radiant she looks…
And… how she dressed exactly like Elizabeth McCord in Madam Secretary 🤣🤣🤣
And… how I wish I was Lea DeLaria 😅

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Superman
The last son of Krypton, Ka-El was sent off from his doomed home planet by his parents to the safety of Earth. The infant was happened upon by a kindly couple named Jon and Martha Kent. The Kents raised him as their own, naming him Clark. It was quickly evident that young Clark possessed amazing powers and Ma and Pa Kent did their best to impart on him the importance of helping others and using his powers responsibly.
Clark would eventually relocate to Metropolis where he took a position as a reporter for the award-winning newspaper, The Daily Planet. Whenever trouble were to arise, however, Clark would make a timely exit and quickly transform into Superman, using his amazing abilities to save the day.
Although seemingly invulnerable, Superman was greatly weakened when exposed to radioactive fragments from his destroyed home planet. This material, known as ‘Kryptonite,’ was quite rare and valuable. When the villainous Joker happened upon a large chuck of Kryptonite, he came to Metropolis and propositioned Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, to pay him a huge fee to kill the Man of Steel.
Batman had tracked The Joker to Metropolis resulting in a team up between Batman and Superman. The two heroes were quite different from one another and did not get off to a good start. Yet they worked well together and the pair would go on to become lifelong friends. Some time thereafter, Batman and Superman would help in the formation of The Justice League.
Actors Tim Daly and George Newbern each provided the voice for Clark Kent/Superman, with the hero first appearing in the debut episode of Superman: The Animated Series.
