Man of Steel

Alright, I cant help it. I'm seriously H-Y-P-E-D out about it already.

My all time favourite superhero's finally back on the silver screen after so many years of absence. And he's coming back in style.

Damn straight. I'm not talking about some sissy cigar grunting mutant with claws or some blind dude with red-colored spandex. And he sure aint one of those low-grade torned up hero with a sad pathetic background story.

This guy's the Alpha, the Omega. He's Superman. Yeah baby. (And dun anybody dare to diss the Man of Steel. I'll be sure to shove a kryptonite up your nether regions where the sun dont shine.)

Anyway, Superman has come a long long way. The most memorable actor who played the Man of Steel, Christopher Reeve. in life, Reeve was every bit of Superman on and off screen. He was Superman in every sense of the word. And finally, Reeve met his demise in 2004 succumbing to his paralactic horse riding injury. Still....this man never let anything keep him down.

Reeve and Routh. Dead-ringers for the role of Superman

And now...years later. We have found the next Man. Kudos to Bryan Singer for finding the perfect successor to Reeve - Brandon Routh. Just look at him! You really cant go wrong.

Now, I only hope Superman Returns will do justice to the legend. To my childhood hero. To the Man of Steel.

Sorry man, but Batman will have Superman hanging by his underwear anyday man.

I too am so psyched for the flick. I grew up with the Man of Steel, when comics were 12 cents. Of course, I was just a little kid, but that never changes.

And Batman is just a handy helper.
