Keep 'Man of Steel' PG: A Comic Writer's Plea (Opinion)

Keep 'Man of Steel' PG: A Comic Writer's Plea (Opinion)

For many, the difficulty with Superman isn’t heat vision or flight, or even that a slouch and a pair of glasses in no way make a viable disguise.

With Bruce Wayne dining al fresco somewhere in Europe, it's up to Clark Kent to take on the mantle of DC's Very Serious Superhero.
