Well, in our local Toys 'R' Us store, there used to stand a Superman-statuette (plastic,true color) modeled after Brandon Routh. With only one little difference: This statuette was a little less than life-sized, and as a consequence, he looked rather wimpy. No bulk, no great arms, no charisma - jsut a plain comic figure. Whenever I passed that thing, I was hard pressed to suppress a giggle because he looked so un-super to me. That's how I found out that there's more to Superman than just plain dumb height.
