I finally saw Superman Returns last night (on the IMAX 3D). I had really low expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised with the final outcome and really enjoyed it. I also realize that there have already been several threads on this board that have discussed this movie, but I am starting a new thread because I have a specific question about the movie.
I always thought that it was impossible for Superman to impregnate a human. This idea has been thoroughly ingrained in me, based on the theories of Jason Lee's character Brodie Bruce in Mallrats. Brodie believed that if Superman were to have intercourse with a human, the force of his ejaculate would be so powerful that it would explode through Lois. Also, even if conception could occur, wouldn't the Superfetus kick a hole right through his mother's uterus?
Since I am not a big comic book fan, I ask this question here. Was this concept thoroughly addressed on other Superman forums, or was Mallrats the only time it was ever brought up? I was totally blown away when it was revealed that Superman was the father of Lois's son. The shock was the same as it would have been if I had seen a theatrical release of Empire Strikes Back and found out that Vader was Luke's father.
