It never even gets dirty
What the hell is that all about?

I mean, even in that issue which I remember reading as a kid, when he brought Louis Lane back from the dead by flying around earth at such speed, in the opposite direction of its rotation, he reversed the earth rotation and thus taking the whole planet back in time so he could get to Louis and save her before she died. The speed he must have arrived at would destroy any material. He should have turned up butt naked.

But no, spotless, his outfit was.
Someone’s bound to tell me the suit is indestructible, OK, but it's not glued to his body, is it? At the speed he sometimes travels, it should come off, at least a boot should fly off every now and then.

And how about when Superman rescues someone, when he comes flying fast and grabs someone who's just about to be hit by a charging train. Isn't the impact which is created by Superman flying into the person he's rescuing the same lethal force as if being hit by a charging train?

But what bothers me the most is Louis Lane. I tell you, she is NOT a role model. What a nasty piece of work.
She’s in love with Superman, but dismissive towards Clark Kent.

Clark's only disguise is a pair of common glasses. It’s not like when I walked into my pub the first time wearing glasses, not a single soul recognized me. How blind can she be?
It’s obvious she finds men wearing glasses not up to her standard.

That’s so lame of her, to not recognize her big love simply because he’s put on a pair of glasses. Talk about false love. She doesn’t really love the man, does she? It’s the power Superman emits which she loves.
What a fake!

I bet, it being in america where you're at, there's a little patch sewn onto the inside of the cape which reads... "WARNING. Your child will not be able to fly off the roof of your house in this outfit"

ladyfingers: HA ha ha, little does she know that if he ever falls for her and they get married, he will lost all his powers and I do mean ALL.

I know that this is all true.


Are you saying that Louis has a Kryptonite, erm, you know, inside, down there, bodily fluid is part Kryptonite?

"at least a boot should fly off every now and then."

Thank you, I had to clean my monitor after reading that.rolling on the floor laughing

Everybody knows that Supermans tights & cape etc. were made from the swaddling clothes he was wrapped in when he landed in that cornfield. That is why they can't get dirty or torn because they are from the planet Krypton and here on earth they are indestructable.
As for why she loves Superman and not Clark, I think it's the uniform, you know how chics dig a guy in uniform. Especially a guy in tights, she's probably not even looking at his face but that flashlight he's got in his pocket.

Speaking of Flash. What's the deal with his outfit. He's running like a Millenium Falcon makes lightspeed, but those flash-shaped little ornamnet things he has sticking out by his ears never fall off and bend.

And what about The Torch of The Fantastic Four, what about his outfit? Why isn't he naked when he returns from burning?
Don't tell me him and Superman got the same tailor.

He's not real...It's a movie. In reality, he can't fly let alone fast enough to spin the earth backwards, which would not reverse time by the way. In real life the same thing would happen that happened to the crew of the space shuttle that broke up during re-entry at 25,000 mph; they were ripped apart and burned.

But according to the story line of Superman, anything that is within a small distance of his body is protected by his super power.

For real?

How about Satan Clause and his sledge.
It’s obviously got some ability to fly on its own, or it wouldn’t follow like it does the reindeer, rather than remaining in an upright position it would rattle along like cans to a string tied to the back of the car of a pair of newly wed.
Can you explain that?

Lois Lane is actually blind.
You should read Man of steel Woman of kleenex by Larry Niven, it brings up a whole host of new questions.

The rep from the actors insurance company said if a chair gets thrown at you, you better duck cause we aren'y gonna cover you for a concusion. Don't get so into character that you actually believe you can't get a fractured skull.rolling on the floor laughing

Is it the cape which makes Superman fly, or is that only for show off?

You really, really need to rent Smallville from Season One... And when you get to season six or seven, you know where the cape came from, and Lois Lane can't remember him...

He was called the "Red-Blue Blur" before he was Superman...And he still didn't have a cape...And he was afraid of flying...super super
