I’ve been giving ol’ Supes a ribbing the last few days, what with the Louis Silk post a few days back and the busted-ass kid on the cover of his comic, but I figure if you’ve got a good thing going, why stop it? Why deny yourself when you’re on a roll? What I mean to say is that I’ve been reading a lot of Superman (check out the great Geoff Johns run on Action Comics and the new James Robinson run on Superman) and watching his animated show, so I keep running into weird Superman phenomenon.
For instance, here are some screen shots in order of Superman using his x-ray vision in an animated episode called “The Main Man”.
Again, these are presented in order. Notice anything?
That’s right. In order to use his x-ray vision, Clark Kent had to first lower his glasses. The hell? Much like the Hulk’s pants, glasses must be another one of those nuisances that cannot be conquered. The whole point of x-ray vision is to see through objects you normally can’t see through, yet Clark is evidently having some trouble seeing through the thing that’s actually transparent.
Please, someone who worked on the TV show, tell me that there was some debate in the animation room about this and it came down to a close vote.
