Although not unheard of, it is, nonetheless, very rare for me to pull the car over, get out and take a photograph of a billboard. But that's precisely what I did this morning. I know there's probably more superheroes than plumbers in the phonebook but there was something about this particular image that stopped me in my tracks. Literally.
I thought for a minute I'd torn the fabric of the space-time continuum and gone back to a world where the Odeon and the ABC had never been demolished and Christopher Reeve was still flying. Then I looked more closely and could see it was just some interloper (David Corenswet) passing himself off as Clark Kent's alter ego. A man can dream, can't he?
As to whether this Superman reboot is a classic or a turkey I have no idea; our visitor from the planet Krypton has been with us in various guises (beginning with his inaugural appearance in Action Comics - published by DC Comics - in June 1938), some better than others (like Dr. Who), so I guess there's only one way to find out. Up, up, and awaaaay.
