    Nor did he in any of the other ones. Chris O'Donnell and even Burt Ward didn't exactly fit the description "little kid", did they?

    If you'd actually bothered to read my previous post in context, instead of going off on an unrelated rant, you might have seen that I was simply replying to a beaker full of death's comment about never having heard non-fans comment about the trunks. Nowhere did I express a view on whether or not they should remain.

    Jokes about Batman hanging out with a kid in tights have been (and still are) as much of a 'pop culture stable' as Superman's underpants (if not more so), regardless of what's happening in the latest movie or comic.

    If people are gonna joke about it anyway then why worry?

    ^Again, you seem to be completely missing the point of what I'm saying. I was simply replying to the assertion that beaker had never heard non-fans talk about the trunks by pointing to the prevalence of references to them. I wasn't saying whether or not I thought that the makers of the movie should be influenced by those jokes.

    I'm not in the least worried about whether or nor they remain. I thought the small trunks in Returns looked fine, I think the non-trunks in MOS look fine.

    ^But you quoted me in the original post, not JD. Hence my belief that you were addressing me.

    Well, if you're gonna stoop so low as to drag facts in, there's really no point wasting time debating with you :rolleyes:

    You're so sensitive. I'm just explaining what I meant in my post.

    Anyway, do I get a prize? ;)

    Does Superman wear underwear on the inside of his suit? Or was he satisfied just with outside ones so far?

    Well, I think the "regardless" part is a big part. Why do you think a kid in tights isn't in the latest Batman movie? Can you think of a possible connection between that and Superman not having his red underpants in his movie?

    He very well may be wearing red underpants. Since they're underpants, we wont know unless he removes his pants. ;)

    Yeah, he likes pink, as long as it's not in kryptonite form.
