You think Spock had problems?

A few people who have seen "Superman Returns" have wondered in my presence about a certain plot point from the movie. I don't want to say too much more about this plot point, for it could be considered a bit of a spoiler, but here is an article by a Famous Science Fiction Writer on the subject.

(The article doesn't help, but is kinda funny anyway.)

EDIT: Okay, two comments here have suggested that it is a BIG spoiler. So, really. Don't click the link unless you have seen the movie or don't care about spoilers.

Well - I don't think Niven was being 100% serious about the article. (In fact, when interviewed about it on TV for the release of the original movie, he barely held a straight face long enough for the tape to stop rolling.)

It's a comic-book world with abuses of physics lying all over the place. Who are we to worry about details of biology? :)
