This
is an imaginary story... |
What
if when we woke up- today- a man could
fly? |
What
if a being could really do such amazing
things? |
What
would it look like? How would we react? |
How
would it make us feel? |
This
is an imaginary story, but as the good |
Mr.
Moore has reminded us in the past... |
...Aren't
They All? |

NOTES ON
COSTUME |
| The Man of Steel's costume has
been subtly altered many times over the past 60 years.
For the purposes of this three-screenplay story arc: |
| SUPERMAN'S COSTUME: Superman's
BLUE JUMPER (made from Kryptonian wonder-fabric TRIPLAR)
is the same outfit worn by 2 year-old Kal-El the
day his father sent him to Earth. Incredibly light,
durable, and elastic under normal circumstances,
upon prolonged exposure to yellow solar radiation
Triplar (due to its trace residual Kryptonian organic
components) becomes both nearly indestructible and
incredibly elastic, almost to the molecular level.
Kal-El wears his father's CRIMSON CAPE (red outside,
darker inside) which Jor-El used to help wrap and
pad his son into the spacecraft's seat. Jor-El also
used his BELT (black with circular plain gold buckle)
and several RED PLASTI-STEEL STRAPS (another remarkable
Kryptonian wonder-substance, later fashioned by Kal-El
into his RED BOOTS) to help secure his son into the
mini-rocket's cockpit. Before sending his son to
Earth, Jor-El removed the KRYPTONIAN FAMILY CREST
from his chest and placed it in the ship with his
son. Consisting of TWO BLACK FIGURES (representing
his parents Jor and Lara) against a RED DIAMOND background
(the symbol of the House of El); it is frequently
mistaken for an "S" by most people from Earth. |

reminiscent of the Fleischer cartoons from the '40's |
