Mccay had the horrible tendency to jam his words into the bubbles, even when they didn't quite fit. He got the artistic sensibilities of Mccay right, but the speech bubbles — they’re too coherent.

Call it "The Man Of Steel"... hire someone with a freakin' neck and jaw to play superman. Go back to the original comic books... maybe even set it in the year 1938. Portray him as a strongman in tights who can jump high, but has to grunt to catch airplanes and cars in his hands. Make him a real reporter, tapping out hard news stories. Make the damn movie gritty, not romantic like "superman returns" ... None of this flying around in outer space business. It'll never happen. Hollywood just isn't capable.

Should be interesting. If I'll be alive two years from now to watch it. I haven't been feeling so good.
