You are a poet.

And killed the driver (who I think is called and engineer but I'm not sure and I'm not going to look it up because I don't feel like but even though it would take me less time to actually check than to write this explanation but to hell with it) who represents the middle class.

Also add that the child is slipping a stack of Benjamins into Supermans trunks.

Honestly switching the places of the boy and Superman would probably work.

Nor the small boy giving superman a fat stack of cash

At this point I think we're more like the railroad ties that Superman is bulldosing through.

Superman had no idea there was child there, he just wanted to fuck up a train.

It's the trolley problem. Picking up a kid in time to beat a speeding train would just snap his little neck. Stopping a speeding train to save the little boy would most likely kill anyone on board.

This scenario indicates superman would rather kill a train full of people, rather than having witnesses see him sit idle as a child removes himself from the gene pool.

My hypothesis is that this is the child of Lex Luther, or possibly a clone. He's literally playing on train train tracks, baiting super man into a win-less scenario via the trolley problem. It's the perfect scheme to slowly make him question the consequences of all his actions and eventually his entire purpose.

He was feeling a bit Hancock that day.

The train was carrying electric sharing kick scooters to be deployed into metropolis and Superman wasn't about to let it happen

Because it's an Amtrak.

Moreover, that conductor is going to die, no question.

To be fair, if you play cards right you can make a lot of money. Poker tounament players do get sponsors.
