SUPERMAN RETURNS - I have misgivings

As for your concerns,

Spoiler:

To quote Mallrats, It's impossible, Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child? He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. And that would kill him.

Just to set the record straight, Mallrats copied that bit from the classic Larry Niven essay: Man of Steel Woman of Kleenex

From what I understand....

Spoiler:

The child is most likely that of Lois' new love interest played by (can't remember his name, but he almost lost his job on X-Men 3 for doing this film). His character is somehow related to Perry White. Not sure if it's his son or his nephew or something. I might be wrong on this though.

I was really scared about a new Supes film back when it was bouncing around in the hands of people like Tim Burton and McG. If the script I saw back then was anywhgere near the direction they had in mind it would have been a complete sacrilege to all things Superman. I like Bryan Singer though and I think he respects the material enough that I trust his vision. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the final product.

I hope you're right. I'll be there regardless.

Oh, and I am so glad it isn't Nicholas Cage. (Good actor, but Superman?)
