MAN OF STEEL Adds A New Power to Superman

NIGHT VISION!

Yeah, yeah… I know your pain. I was hoping for something exceedingly badass too, like a “I can actually beat up Batman” super punch, or an invulnerability to Taco Bell poops, but it looks like ol’ Clark Kent will have to be happy with seeing in dim light. But it’s not all bad, I suppose. At least he can read by candlelight without straining his eyes. I’m sure all those 18th century aristocrats are so damn jealous.

Here’s a bit more on the subject of Superman’s powers in MAN OF STEEL from the well groomed and beautifully blue eyed star Henry Cavill:

“For example, because of his strength, he can’t just give his mom a big hug, because if he really hugs her hard, then she’ll explode, so he has to find ways of conveying love without doing harm. A light bulb popping doesn’t scare him. He can see in the dark, so when the lights go out, nothing changes for him.”

I’m willing to bet 10 bucks that Superman’s greatest sign of affection is completing his farm chores before school. I mean, if I found an super powered alien freak in my backyard, and I was forced to raise his broke ass for 20 years, I’d convince him menial tasks were the ultimate form of saying “I love you”.
