This has been conveniently and shamelessly borrowed, word by word,from Bill's rendition to Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill 2)
Superman, not a great comic book, not particularily well drawn..but the mythology is not only great but its unique.A staple of a superhero mythology is that there is a superhero and there is the alter ego..that man is actully Bruce Wing and SpiderMan is actually Peter Parker..When that character wakes up in the morning, he is Peter Parker..he has to put up a costume to become Spiderman and it is in that charaterstic, Superman stands alone...
Superman didn't become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he is Superman..His alter ego is Clark Kent..His outfit with a big red ass...thatsthe blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him..those are his clothes...what Kent wears is the glasses and the business suit...thats the costume..thats the costume Superman wears to blend in with us..Clark Kent is how Superman views us..and what are the characterstics of Clark Kent..he is weak, he is unsure of himself and he is a coward..Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race..
