This is why Superman isn't just a comic character, or even just an icon. He's a cultural legend.

@Tony It's probably not going to be Cavill. Most likely just some guy wearing a Halloween costume.

There is a movement to rename Hitchinson, Kansas into Smallville cause of all the crazy similarities. You can search for it on Facebook and find their group. It's an awesome idea but it won't ever happen unfortunately.

I hear there is a whole city dedicated to Superman, it's called Metropolis, Illinois . . . oh, snap



Seriously, guys - we have our heroes and we're all very passionate about them, not to sound preachy, but learn respect each other's passion and you might find yourself loving your passion even more . . . and when you do, use lube.
