Only a Steel Man can be a Lover
I’m really glad Superman’s not a home-wrecker. I think I would have lost a lot of respect for him.
My brother Matt and I watched ‘Superman Returns’ last night at some back alley theater in Brampton with sticky floors and Christmas lights on the walls. It was only a 3$ cover so I’m not complaining. Plus I snuck in a ‘Jr Burger’ and a cup of ‘Great Biggie’ french fries from Wendies instead of paying 6 bucks for popcorn, so it made it all worthwhile …(but I ended up buying the popcorn anyway because I’m a sucker… as soon as it hits your nostrils, it just smells so good).
I thought Kevin Spacey was his usual amazing self as Lex Luther. I did find Brandon Routhe as Superman a little off at times; I think its because his face seemed digitally animated in every second shot. And possibly because he reminded me too much of Christopher Reeve. Despite this, however, I still thought it was marvelous.
I don’t remember Superman and Lois ever ‘consummating’ any kind of relationship though, and so was a little concerned at the super-boy twist in the plot, (I can’t have movies diverting from the original plot history). So, I asked my brother (who, when we were younger, was forced to watch all the Superman movies multiple times whenever it was my turn to pick the movie) about this after the show, and he confirmed that they actually did ‘do it’ in Superman II. Though he didn’t really understand what exactly they were doing, just that the bed looked really comfortable.
I guess I don’t mind if Superman has a bastard son, it’s just gonna take some getting used to… but the next Superman movie better not be a courtroom custody battle starring Richard Gere or I’ll be miffed.

Do you think Superman always uses his X-ray vision, or he can turn it on and off. I feel like if it was always on I could never use the expression "He saw right through me" around him cause it would be literally true and therefore not an expression.
Superheroes should never mess with grammar, because it's not a supervillian.
