Superman Returns

SPOILER ALERT!

Second viewing, and lots more opportunity to poke holes. First, I think the movie is ill-conceived from the get-go. Superman is a dead-beat, weekend dad? Not so super. Also, at the end, the kid is wearing Aquaman pajamas. This confuses me. In this kid’s world, is Aquaman a comic-book character or a real guy? If he’s real, he could’ve helped Superman with the whole island thing. Also, if Superman is so vulnerable to kryptonite, why doesn’t he just wear armor, so he doesn’t get shanked like he’s in a prison brawl? I mean, armor wouldn’t be cumbersome or anything, because, I mean, he’s Superman, right? I still liked Parker Posey, though.
