All Star Superman




For the first post, I would like to call attention to the synopsis for All Star Superman

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/AllStarSuperman.jpg

 "After Lex Luthor tricks Superman into prolonged exposure to radiation, the Man of Steel is left with only weeks to live, and his powers are waning. As he prepares for his demise, Superman has scores to settle and must stop Luthor's diabolical scheme."
 Now, if you've seen the movie or read the book you'll know immediately what is wrong with this description. Namely that Superman's powers are peaking as a result of his prolonged exposure to the sun. The movie makes that clear in at least two separate scenes. A character even uses the phrase "The greatest superfeats of your career." at one point.

You have to wonder if whoever wrote the summary even saw the film.

VERDICT: Synopsis WTF
