super-bats said:hey Nivek.....idk if you were directly addressing my post......
but....I wasn't trying to compare the Village with SR.....I was just trying to bring up an example of a double twist........one twist that is sort of obvious....and one that just comes out of nowhere.........
Nivek said:LOL!!.. Its cool man!

Superman \S/ said:Interesting Singer would say it in an interview like this.....
super-bats said:good point......but that would mean Supes is the father of a bastard child.....and a deadbeat dad........
that just seems to change his character too much......
Nivek said:Well, he's probobly heard the Al Quada chatter about this for a while, maybe he just wanted to put it to rest?
chi-boy said:not really, depends on how you look at it. we've actually had this argument a few times already, but basically it went like this: superman didn't know he had a son, and the kid probably beleives richard to be his dad. if the kid is living a good life with richard and lois, does superman have the right to suddenly barge in and take over? besides, the kid is probably safer with richard. what if supe's enemies found out he had a kid? superman is the kind of guy that would probalby take full responsibility for his kid, so it probably hurts him not to reveal himself him. that's more noble that barging in and being a homewrecker. besides, the kid will probably discover everything on his own if his powers develop, and confront superman himself when he's mature enough... or go evil and become the anti superman.
I don't know how many times this has to be said....but here we go again;super-bats said:good point......but that would mean Supes is the father of a bastard child.....and a deadbeat dad........

Well that proves absolutely nothign doesn't it?Nivek said:Thanks to Daughters of krypton from the Planet for posting this...

SFX: You do have a situation where Lois has a five year old kid and Supermans been gone for five years any connection?
SINGER: No, its a kid shes had with Richard White. There is very little with the exception of Kryptonite that Superman cant defeat. This dilemma is undefeatable. You cant turn back the clock for five years and erase a child. You may be able to woo her away from her fiancé, but its a little more complicated than that.
SFX: So this kid is a permanent reminder that he left.
SINGER: Exactly. And it was the greatest obstacle I could come up with for Superman. Honestly, I was trying to come up with all kinds of obstacles and I thought, What would be something that he cannot overcome? Even in the original Superman, Lois Lane died and he overcame that by turning back time. Here, this child has been around for nearly five years and theres nothing he can do about it.
There, take it for what you will...

If he didn't know she had a kid....he's not a deadbeat dad......and if you want to complain about her having a kid and not being married....be prepared to take on millions of unwed mothers.
