    To those who haven't seen/heard it, please enjoy Kevin Smith's amazing yarn about the ill-fated Superman project.

    The reasons it could be a real photo:
    1. Long hair. I believe the Tim Burton version went into pre-production about the time DC decided to win over female readers by giving Superman long hair.

    2. In the photo it looks like "Nic Cage" is wearing a napkin or towel to keep makeup off the costume. This may have been a makeup test as well as a costume test.

    3. "Nic Cage" looks tired. He was probably up at 5 AM for make-up and wardrobe.

    4. This absurd looking costume looks like it was inspired by the same school of thought that put nipples and an ass crack on the Batsuit.

    I would watch Jon Hamm as Superman. Of course, I would watch Jon Hamm order a combo #3 at McDonalds.

    The wording on your poll is extremely confusing. It asks "if the picture fake" and the answers says "Yes, I believe in the power of Cage" or "No, this is fake".

    Being a photoshop designer, I can safely say that this is a REALLY bad photoshop hack job. His neck is too long and his head is not even tilted in the correct direction... Look at the area under his jawline, that is not even a good manipulation. Aside from that his physical pose looks fake as well and i'm not even sure if the backdrop is real either, seems like its not even angled correctly. Obviously this is fake. It's not a Kingdom Come figure though, the "S" on the Kingdom Come figure is black and red. Even the S on the chest is not aligned or centered on the suit correctly, even that could have been faked.

    Superborg looks kinda' cool, but honestly, I'm more tired of the whole Death of Superman thing. It was a marginal footnote of comic history, a trumped up collector's market "event" spawning DC's 1990's fetish of killing or maiming most of their classic heroes. No more movies, no more DVDs, let the Death of Superman die already!
