"They wish to be a great people, they only lack the light to show them the way."

2006: Superman Returns.
Out of all the movies released by Hollywood in the last two decades, I sincerely, wholeheartedly, hope that this is the one that surpasses all others. For many, many reasons.
Besides, how can you complain about a cool looking guy in a blue suit who can fly?

I wish some writer would explore the aerodynamics of Clark Kent's flying lessons.
A long time ago I read some of the early Superman magazines (not "comics," please) which sort of implied that the guy's "flying" was more like an extension of the ability "to leap tall buildings in a single bound." The physics involved certainly have more logic than simply defying gravity.
