It's not a perfect vacuum in space, and it is not for humans. But with superhuman hearing, why not.

Always imagined you settling down with Clark after he realized that his dealings with Lois just some sort of gay panic before he came out. Best withes with the new beau even if he is not Clark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-25441634735156245642012-10-26T20:43:35.309-05:002012-10-26T20:43:35.309-05:00The omnipotent Superman (on one level) sets him ap...The omnipotent Superman (on one level) sets him apart from the rest and provides more opportunities for a writer while also challenging readers. Look at this scene: He has the strength to throw the moon out of orbit - so that he has to be *very* careful when dealing with the Toyman - while managing to bungle being flirted with, and sounds threatening without meaning to.<br /><br />Brilliant.<br /><br />Also, my way of claiming the "No prize:" Clark's clothes stink becaus he lives in a major urban center. We do not live in a toxin-free environment. However, they don't smell enough, so he dips them into *just* enough squirrel-oops for the smell to before the smell is authentic, before he launders them at a laundromat. On the usual day - varied, occasionally, to lend realism to *that,* as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-5191774199788675932012-10-26T08:35:38.515-05:002012-10-26T08:35:38.515-05:00I have to differ with you, Scipio.

Also the whole "you're lifting the weight of a planet" thing. They're just writing themselves into a corner again, where there's no reason to have any other heroes besides Superman and there's no threat that can logically challenge him.Bryan Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-83972588639413127692012-10-26T06:47:18.185-05:002012-10-26T06:47:18.185-05:00I think I can tackle the matter of why Clark's...I think I can tackle the matter of why Clark's clothes stink.
