Like I said my friends loved it so I figured Id post it here, who knows, someone who can actually write might run with it.

Basically the idea I have is for a short story arc, maybe 2 issues, even 1, where it looks at the limitations of Supermans powers, but not in a way would think.

Story opens with him defeating some nameless super powered villain (doesn't matter who) in Metropolis, crowds go crazy, everyone is like "We love you Superman". Superman waves at the crowd and is about to fly away when some distraught woman starts calling for his help from the crowd. She's like "I saw your battle on TV Im so glad i got here time" etc etc "I need your help superman" Basically her 3 or 4 year old daughter has gone missing and she's asking Superman for help, he obviously being the boy scout he is, agrees. What comes next doesn't matter a whole bunch, but basically Superman is trying to find this kid, and he gets really invested in it, he asks for Bats and maybe the leagues help help but they're all like "sorry lad, I'm busy" doing this or that, which pisses superman off a bit because he's gotten really invested in finding this kid. Then as the story goes on the League calls superman for help and he just snaps at them and is like "I'm Busy". The story ends with the police stopping the search for the child. Superman goes up to watchtower where the Justice League are licking their wounds after getting their asses handed to them, they still defeated whatever it was but they're all injured and they're all pissed at Superman for not coming when he calls. Then they're be a scene with a very angry Batman and Superman, Kal-el is all like "You go looking for missing people or looking at murders all the time" and Bats is like "Well I'm just one man, your more then that, you can't think in terms in single lives, you need to think in terms of cities, countries, planets."

The story ends with Superman realising the the true limits of his power aren't an upward limit, but a downward one, (that makes sense to me but it might not to you guys) essentially that he can't ever worry about single lives because having such a big power level, means that he always needs to think in big terms. That he can't assign more value to one life or another, that he always needs to take the option to save the most lives, and spending all the time he did trying to find that kid was wrong, because really, he was sacrificing other lives.

Like I said my friends were drunk and it was 4am when they said that they liked it, what do you guys think?
