Do you think Maul Shadow Lord S2 will have more focus on underworld worldbuilding?

Shadow Lord S1, despite being set entirely on Jannix, doesn't actually do that much worldbuilding for that planet. All we know about the crime there is that there's 2 gangs, and the leader of one dies at the start of the show. The Pyke dude who took over parts of Maul's organization is similarly not particularly relevant past giving Maul someone to go after. Which is a bit of a shame for a show that could flesh out the criminal underworld, which really hasn't been that much in Star Wars. The dynamics of the crime gangs in SW are pretty background and not given much exploration.

Do you think we will get more focus on this in Season 2? What aspects of SW's criminal underworld would you like to see more of there?

Did anyone else in pre-Crisis write Superman like Alan Moore?

Most of my Superman reading has been post-Crisis stuff, really the only pre-crisis Superman media I've consumed is the stuff by Alan Moore: his Swamp Thing Superman crossover, FTMWHE, and WHTTMOT.

I prefer when Superman is depicted as being more human rather than alien, a shift which most people agree happened post-reboot. Moore being Moore however, in his books does try to write a Superman with human qualities, despite still using more pre-Crisis elements of the character like his connections to Krypton. Interestingly, despite pre-Crisis' emphasis on Superman the superhero over Clark Kent the man, to the point where Moore has him give up the Clark Kent identity in WHTTMOT, Moore still ends Superman's story with him being depowered and living a normal life with Lois, which feels more like a post-crisis Superman concept.

Was Moore the one outlier in pre-Crisis Superman comics, or did other writers try to humanize Superman or make him more relatable and grounded even in pre-reboot stories? If so, which issues did this happen in?
