The Least Super Superman That's Ever Been

From toplessrobot, If you've been a nerd for at least a decade, then you probably remember that in the late '90s, Tim Burton was set to direct the Superman movie, Kevin Smith had written the script, and, inexplicably, Nic Cage was going to star. Happily, even Warner Bros. knew this was too insane to let happen, and it eventually was shoved in the basement closet where all of Warner's DC movie's go to die. But today, a tes pic was released of Nic Cage in what would have been the Superman suit. This is that pic.

If it were possible to distill everything that's absurd about the entire near-century-old "superhero" concept into a single photograph, that would be the photograph.

I mean, it's all very well in newspaper strips, comics, stylized movies, etc. but come on. There's a problem or crime somewhere...a bank heist, a broken gas main...and suddenly this guy shows up? Dressed like that?
