Well James, Drew, Rusty and I went to see Superman Returns last night. Hotdog and drink in my hand I settle into the film. Begins with the same style credits from the first Superman film with Christopher Reeve, it was so fricking brilliant. We find out Superman has been away for 5 years in space, but are not really told where yet. Clark returns to the daily planet and Lex Luthor is up to his old criminal mastermind tricks (I need to point out that I read the novelization of the film online.) There were the obvious bits here and there which were omitted due to running time. The beginning of the book talks about him going back to look for Krypton after reading a newspaper article saying there may be life there still. Only to find a dead planet that is laced with Kryptonite which almost kills him. He only manages to say the word home and his crystal spaceship fly's him back to smallville, explaining the reason he collapses when Martha finds him in the field. Ok then the film and Book followed the same lines. All going good, Lex putting his plane into action, Superman returning to the world, Clarke finding out that everything has changed blah blah blah, However, there is a sudden bombshell which I do not agree with that comes towards the end of the film. I am going to have to write a letter to Brian about this problem. I totally agree with Banky from Mallrats on the whole issue!! It's just not possible and I so wrong, I had to block it out of my mind in order to enjoy the final act of the film, only to be reminded about it at the end. Wrong Wrong Wrong WRONG.

Whole film was brilliant start to end. End of story.
Brodie: It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child?
T.S. Quint: Sure, why not?
Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him.
hahah i was thinking the same - and told Yvette/sister the line about wonderwoman -
BUT
i loved the film - minted
Ahh you referenced Mallrats! My favourite film ever!
Your forgetting that when Superman impregnated Louis he was Human! he had his powers taken away by the red krypton sun beam his Mother drilled into his head because superman said "Mother, I love her".
Comon now benji I thought you were Superhero trivia king!
