To begin with, he has to fly counterclockwise around the earth to make time go backwards! Duh!

Batman is much better!

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> At least there was no invocation of the wormhole or nanobot bugaboos to explain his powers. Two words that deserve to be permanently banned from the " scifi how it works" dictionary.

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> Yeah, one of the comics had him using a piece of the rocket that sent him to Earth to reflect the heat vision, polished to a high sheen. I'm not sure why I remember that.

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> @Git Em SteveDave: 1) Superman's hair doesn't normally grow under a yellow sun. 2) on the occasion when it has grown elsewhere and does have to shave or cut it, he doesn't use a bathroom mirror but a piece of super-hard kryptonian metal or glass, both of which could handle his heat vision, not laser vision.

@Ghede: It was the Fleischer animated Superman of the 40's because it was a pain to continuously animate jumping and landing.

(The mirror would so melt from his laser eye beams, or whatever the kids are calling them these days)

Superman is boring. Batman is pretentious. Wonder Woman FTW!

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> ok this was a bit weak. though its not the worst Superman animated piece ive seen. Superman: Doomsday is still #1.

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> That was pretty boring, until he lasered off his beard.

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> Meh. I've never been a fan of superman. Mostly because of the invulnerability thing. Did you know when he first came out he couldn't even fly? He would just jump really, really high. Running fast, Jumping High, Lifting stuff, and nigh-invulnerability were his powers. Then the artists complained about having to draw him jumping and he gained the ability to fly, and it is all down hill from there.

I mean, I like the invincible hero just as much as the next guy, but only in the figurative sense, not in the its-one-of-his-actual-powers sense. It's one thing if he survives because of a twist of fate, a little ingenuity, or a bit of help... again... and again... and again... and another if he survives because he can't be hurt.

]]> <![CDATA[Superman's Powers Are Sketchy]]> Looks to me like Superman needs some SuperBeano.

Sorry, but as an examination of Superman's powers, this doesn't hold a candle to Larry Niven's classic, "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenix."

Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★
