I'm just not believing this version of Superman is going to stop a speeding train.

Looked him up and he died in a tragic way.

How did Norwalk not dominate in soccer with Superman and Aquaman on their squad?

Aquaman was better at water polo actually.

Brandon Rouths mom was my son’s 3rd grade teacher when his Superman came out. We went to the movie and two days later he came to class with his Superman outfit on. My son was freaking out.

Mamoa and his wife at the time Lisa Bonet I saw at Casey’s a few years ago in Norwalk. I had a crush on Lisa since the Cosby show. I was super happy to see her but I kind of know him a small bit from around Norwalk when he was younger . Both good dudes

Agree both were good guys at Norwalk. Always wanted to date Brandon’s sister but just never worked out.

Elijah Wood played Cyborg Superman in The Death and Return of Superman.

He was also Frodo Baggins in a couple things. Frodo was a hero, though maybe not a superhero.

Here's a fun one for obscure trivia buffs...Clem Beauchamp was production manager on 39 episodes of "The Adventures of Superman"... Not the Man of Steel, but a man behind the Man of Steel...another Iowa connection. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0064303/
