Yes, Virginia, there is a Superman

Mark Millar reminds us that kids say the darndest things:

Anyway, lying having a nap upstairs in the room next to my office and I overheard my daughter and her friend walking up the hallway. Emily’s friend is asking her about the Superman cape and, amazingy, says “do you think there ever WAS a Superman?”

Emily says no and explains that this was the cape worn for a scene in one of the movies and her friend says she’s not sure. She has a feeling there WAS a Superman and people have just forgotten him. Emily asks how could people forget Superman? And her wee pal says “I think maybe bad guys made us all forget.”

Bad guys … or Zatanna?

    The greatest trick the Bad Guys ever played was convincing the world they didn’t exist.

    To Brad Meltzer, Zatanna IS a bad guy.

    I’m not so convinced it would be Zatanna. I’m more convinced it would be like the Sentry.
    That’s my squabbley nerdery of the day.

    Also, precious.
