well, i'm a superman crazed fan. i still think he can whoop batman's @$$ . loser only comes out in the nite i still watch smallville every week!
I thought superman was supposed to be super strong because Krypton had higher gravity and therefore everything was more dense - which is why bullets can't penetrate his skin. But if that is true, what makes him able to fly???? And for another tasteless (superman related) joke... Whats the opposite of Christopher Reeve? . . . . . . . Christopher Walken! (groan)
He is ripped because he is supposed to embody masculinity. He is supposed to be loved by the ladies and envied by men. Hence the build. Dave, that joke is ridiculous!
