The greatest Superman ever

So, there's this thread at the Drawing Board about Superman - and it's open to images of not only the Man of Tommorrow himself - but to any of the various characters that have populated Superman's world... well, maybe this is too great a stretch - but (to me) the greatest "guy" ever to wear the "S" and proclaim himself Superman was the titular character of Brad Bird's work of infinite genius.

True, sad, story - my wife and I (before we had kids) go to see Iron Giant in the theatres... and by the time we leave I am sobbing so badly I can't drive. She has to drive home. I'm not just sobbing - I am bawling. 5 minutes AFTER the movie has ended and I am still blubbering and making a gigantic ass of myself. People are looking at me funny. My wife turns to one older couple and their kids who are staring and simply says "He loves robots."

I do indeed.

Dude. I sobbed TWICE. Somehow I FORGOT at the end of the movie, that he puts himself back together. I remember the second time, Im sitting in my chair at the back of the room, watching it, I beleive I was perched on the cushion of the chair, sobbing saying to myself "WHO WOULD SHOW THIS TO KIDS!"

whew, Im so glad Im not the only adult male I know who did. that "Sup...er..man..."
