Does Superman have a cape?

[moonlight elf]

And the tights? What about the tights?

okay here's what he said...

1. they show off the muscles
2. they distinguish the superhero from the odinary people


yup, looks like someone actually sat down and planned this superhero costume.

I'm writing a poem, and it's not really about Superman...but what do you call the red cape he wears? Is it a cape? Somehow that doesn't sound right.

I think its a pashmina.

 

[ezlay_2nite]

I always thought of it more of a cloak

surely you jest!
wool would be a drag whilst trying to fly...

True, but with superhuman strength sartorial priorities change. Fashion is usually the deciding factor. For a short time in the early 1970's superman sported Frye's boots and a caftan. But then the glitter period started, and it pretty much went downhill from there.

Well, which was called the "Caped Crusader"? Superman or Batman?

Batman.

As for what it's called: "You don't tug on Superman's cape..."

Can't argue with Jim Croce.

But Superman's shawl? It sounds so un-macho!

"You don't tug on Superman's shawl. You don't spit into the wind."

Don't think the lyrics would have worked for Jim Croce.

Actually, in the '30s he did just "jump with style," but by the 50s he could move about at will, through atmosphere, water, and space.

He had become so impervious and so potent that it was impossible to plot his stories any more. Magic and kryptonite were just about the only things which of themselves could thwart him, and so the writers had to challenge him with moral dilemmas or have his enemies try to outwit him. For relief from the strain, they presented endless origin stories and invented an entire menagerie of relatives and pets and whatnot.

The paucity of possibilities and the jejune plotting eventually led to the more adult, more limited superheroes in Marvel and elsewhere.

Imagine if it had been a pancho. That would've sounded awkward in ANY musical piece.

Old Joke (ripped off the net, Grammar not mine)


Three men were sitting at the top floor of the Empire State Building.

One man says to one of the others.. "You know, if you jump out the window here, the force of the wind will blow you back in through the window on the 90th floor.."

The other man says "You're jokin aren't u?"

The 1st man says "No, here.. I'll prove it" so he stands on the window ledge and jumps out.. and comes back in thru the 90th floor window..

The 2nd man says.. "That was just a one off" So he does it again.. and comes thru on the 90th floor.. runs back up and says "See, im telling the truth"

The 2nd man says "Wow, im gonna do it then" he stands on the window ledge, jumps out and falls to his death.

The 3rd man says to the first man.. "You know, sometimes you can be a right bastard superman"

Rhino: Brilliant!

Hey, here's a challenge for you (should you choose to accept)...

I will eventually be getting an AV, but I want something fitting.

I've been thinking something quite "regal". As in: "Her Royal Twatness", but then I saw this thread and thought "SuperTwat" might be quite cool.

Whaddya think?

Could you draw a pic of me (Katie-Lou) as either "The Princess Twat" or "SuperTwat"?

Feel free to tell me to bugger off.

Yes yes...I heard that only, although I thought the last line was something to the effect that superman was drunk..."You're a bastard when your drunk superman!"

LOL
