the AMERICAN way.” In Action Comics #900, the Man of Steel renounces his U.S. citizenship to embark upon a more global “neverending battle”. Quite a milestone in the 72 year life of the superhero who was sent to Earth from a doomed planet, raised in America’s heartland by a kindly midwestern farm family who would instill within their adopted son the morals and ethics which would become his greatest weapons, and finally become the World’s Finest while disguised as a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper. Flight, near invincibility, X-ray vision, and all the rest could be used for other things than engaging the likes of Lex Luthor, Doomsday, and Bizzaro if not raised in a loving environment. Yes, I know that opinion could be debated infinitum but still…
In other Super-related news, Brandon Routh (rhymes with south) and Sam Huntington who played Superman and Jimmy Olsen, respectively in Superman Returns are teaming up in a new zombie-hunting film. Routh plays detective Dylan Dog in the aptly titled Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Judge for yourself, but it looks like the curse may have claimed its latest victim.
Or we could always quote Perry White from Superman Returns when he said “truth, justice, and other stuff.”
I always thought Superman’s background story sounded interesting, but I’ve never gotten into the movies.
I think Beeber would like them 😉
