Then Clark Kent can just go get a job in China!

I'm telling Al Gore that a certain superhero's little ice palace at the North Pole is what is causing global warming - that will fix his little red-caped wagon

Superman is just miffed that he couldn't find Osama and the Seals did. Very bad for his image. Trooper

Can't be easy for him though can it, I mean with everyone having mobile phones these days they are doing away with phone boxes all over the world!. He must feel awfully exposed!

This is just another odd thread in a long line of many.

To paraphrase Stewie Griffin, "they're just there to be funny, which some people are quite above."

"During his "class day" address at Harvard University on June 7, 2006, Seth MacFarlane addressed Stone and Parker's criticisms in character as Stewie, stating that the "...cutaways and flashbacks have nothing to do with the story. They're just there to be 'funny'. That is a shallow indulgence that South Park is quite above, and, for that, I salute them.""

That IS weird! In the 1930s circus strong men and acrobats dressed in a similar way. Have you seen modern athletes training with shorts over sweatpants?

It's cute on ballerinas and female joggers.

Typical post-modern stuff.

Remember the old SNL sketch called "What If?" The first episode of the sketch dealt with the premise, "What if Superman had landed in Nazi Germany instead of America?" It was a riot. He was Űbermann, and his alter ego was Klaus Kent, a mild-mannered reported for a large Berlin daily. He stood for untruth, injustice, and the Nazi way. He saved Hitler (Michael Palin) from a bomb plot with his X-ray vision, using the same super-power, discovered that Jimmy Olstein was a Jew:

Lois Lehne: "If you're Űbermann, then you can see through my clothes!"
Űbermann: (pointing to Jimmy) "Yes--and his, too. He's a Jew!"
Jimmy: (covering himself): "No, no! My parents were just very hygenic!"

After the enactment, a panel of experts discussed how the Allies would have reacted. Garrett Morris had the best line, as an Air Force general, who said, "Well, eventually America would have developed a Kryptonite bomb..."

The sketch ended with a teaser for the next installment, "What If Eleanor Roosevelt Could Fly?" with a clip of Jane Curtin as Eleanor Rooselvelt, suspended horizontally with her arms extended, wearing a flying helment and goggles, leading B-17s in a bombing raid over Germany.

DC Comics a strange bunch did they not kill off Superman a few years back {which made world headlines}.
Maybe another angle to creat some cheap buzz...or maybe Superman is a little grumbly that MARVEL'S Iron Man has stolen his thunder :rolleyes2:

 

[Scott]

He doesn't care WHO he offends!

Superman was always the most one dimensional of all the super heros and reflects his age. Heroes were a bit more clear cut back then. The good guy wore a white hat and the bad guy a black hat. The more recent heroes like Hulk and Wolverine and Batman are all haunted by various demons and have a dark side so to speak. This is just trying to give superman a bit of depth I suppose.
