A lot of alleged comic book fans engaging in a “Tell me you don’t know anything about Superman without saying that you don’t know anything about Superman” challenge online means that there are spoilers ahead for… Yes, it’s Superman–strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of […]

I’ve meant to […]
