Superman

For all of you who have suspected that I'm a nerd, this blog will confirm that. For those of you who had no idea that I am a nerd...well, it's true, I'm a nerd. But hey, I've embraced that.

My wife and kids are out of town visiting her family. I had to stay behind and work. So yesterday, after doing all my errands and other tasks, I still had most of a day to kill. To occupy myself, I embarked on a mini Superman marathon. I started with the extended edition of the 1978 classic "Superman, The Movie", and followed that with the 2006 movie "Superman Returns". "Superman Returns" gets better every time I see it, and "Superman, The Movie" took me back to happy days from my childhood. It was a good time.

Whenever I watch anything with Superman though, I always have the following question: "When is he ever going to figure out that the over confident Lex Luthor probably has Kryptonite?" Far be it from me to question the creators of Superman...the 14 disc box set I borrowed from a friend is a testament to this character's popularity. Heck, in spite of this nagging thought, I'm a big fan. However, you would think he'd learn after making the same mistake over and over again!

This is the main reason I've always maintained that if Superman ever went off the deep end and decided to try to take over the DC comics universe, Batman (my favorite super hero) would be the one to stop him. There's one simple reason for this. Batman would bring Kryptonite to the fight! And Batman would never let Superman go once he had him. Simple as that.

There...it's confirmed. I'm a nerd (and proud of it)!
