But the real question is: Will this have an effect on the comic book continuity - ie, will the comic book Superman and Lois finally have a child?
I just realized that they probably will HAVE to now.
God, give me strength.
You can just hear the shriek of triumph issued from the flabby, roosterlike throat of some goateed, Metallica T-shirt wearing mongoloid in Reebok sneakers Mike Carlin just hired as the new Superman writer. Finally, a way to shake the pillars of heaven! To leave MY mark on Superman history!
I hear you saying, "Oh, Julian, your cynicism is unwarranted. There are a great many interesting stories that can be told by Superman having a kid."
Yeah, and there are a great many stories that could be told by Superman getting married. Did they do any of those? Course not. Because the super-marriage, as was the Death of Superman, and the birth of a son would be (and it WILL be a strapping son, I guarantee; misogyny is one of the defining characteristics of the modern comics writer) an event driven story dominated by marketing, and so consequently, there's no way they will be good because they are gimmick-centered tales focused on creating an artificial illusion of change to temporarily drum up sales (and probably stretched for 5 months over 4 Superman Titles) before someone comes to their senses and everything returns, equally unsatisyingly, back to the status quo.
On a lighter note, I guess if Lois does have a Super-Kid, that means Maggin's "Lois is Catholic" theory is proven right long after the fact - no Super-Birth Control.
