A superhero working with a journalist plays right into the Clark Kent/Lois Lane dynamic, and Superman is an alien himself, with many otherworldly foes taking him on over the years.
And even though it’s a “G” in the chest insignia of the costume seen below, it’s reminiscent enough to the Man of Steel’s symbol.
It’s pretty easy to see how the Superman mythos may have been an inspiration here.
For the Christmas special, the Twelfth Doctor will team up with an investigative journalist played by Charity Wakefield and a superhero named Grant played by Justin Chatwin, and the trio will try to save New York from the threat of an alien attack.
