I realised the existence of a very nice garden near my house. It's at the top of the multi-storey carpark. It must be a great romantic-getaway for couples at night.
Another eart... Krypton-shattering discovery was revealed on The AdvertisementsPaper (TNP) today. I discovered to my horror that Women from age 18 to 100 years old think that Superman is boring and corny. It also seems that they prefer Batman to have nipples on their costume. (Watch Batman & Robin for more Gotham-shattering discovery) Spiderman to kiss them upside down. (Tobey Maguire revealed that he couldn't breathe while doing that scene, but maybe that's because Kirsten Dunst just took his breathe away) And Wolverine who has pants that never comes off despite the great powers of the Phoenix. (This mutant ability was showcased in The Last Stand)
But in the end, maybe Superman isn't really a Superhero after all . . .
An essential characteristic of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero, and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When he wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic that Superman stands alone. Superman did not become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak, he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race. Sort of like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plympton.
Bill, Kill Bill
