A popular notion about Superman was proposed several years ago in a
comix-fan book called "Omniverse"  (I think that was the title) which
suggested that the Kryptonians are all high-order psionic talents, and
that poor Kal-El grew up away from that society and therefore never really
developed his talents properly.  The movies seem to take this underlying
notion, however, since in Supes1 Lois was flown about by Kal El, simply
by touch-telekinesis.  The odd things they did in the second filem made
me think that this was indeed the case.  The suiggestion is that when
Superman kissed Lois, he took away her memories of their whole experience.
I consider this morally reprehensible and out of character, but then
Supermann has traditionally had very very neurotic relationships with
women.  I suggest "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" to anyone who wants to
get a better idea of some of the problems in Superman's love life.
