lois lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32 feet per second per second. superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel. miss lane, who is now traveling at approximately 120 miles an hour, hits them and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces. unless superman matches her speed and decelerates. in what space, sir? in what space? she's two feet above the ground. frankly, if he really loved her, he'd let her hit the pavement. it'd be a more merciful death. excuse me, your entire argument is predicated on the assumption that superman's flight is a feat of strength. are you listening to yourself? it is well established that superman's flight is a feat of strength. it is an extension of his ability to leap tall buildings, an ability he derives from exposure to earth's yellow sun. and you don't have a problem with that? how does he fly at night? oh, a combination of the moon's solar reflection and the energy-storage capacity of kryptonian skin cells. i'm just gonna go wash up. leonard: i have 2,600 comic books in there. i challenge you to

. >> wendy: reporter lois lane teams up with superman to save the day.sn't she sort of a hero, too? >> yes. she definitely is willing to put her own safety at risk. >> wendy: it has been said since superman's creation that superman is a kind of type creature. his cryp cryptonian sends his only son to earth to save mankind, and superman is 30 years old when he finally reveals his super powers, the same age as jesus when he went to the cross. the director says the symbolism is a part of the superman story he wanted to embrace. >> allowing people to have a conversation about whatever relationship they have with jesus, or the jesus story through the movie, i think is undeniable in the material. and if you don't include it in the film, then you really sort of deny the mythology that is superman. >> wendy: russell crowe plays superman's father, and kevin costner play's superman's earthly father, who realizes early on his son has super powers. >> can i just pretend i am your son. >> you are my son. >> i think that's the great thing about life, being able to mak

superhero film starring henry cavel as superman and amy adams as lois lane earned 113 mail dollars in look to the blockbuster for tips on what to do in a tornado. that part is not scoring high with meteorologists, including our own janice dean who points out if you live in tornado country, and you're faced with a twister do not do this. hide under an under pass. in the scene clark kent's dad played by kevin costner tells his family and others to get to the highway under pass for shelter. that in fact is the opposite of what you should do, since the under pass creates a wind tunnel effect. warner bros. releasing a statement saying, man of steel is a work of fiction and events depicted in the movie are not intended nor should they be seen to offer any emergency preparedness advice. we remain mindful of the recent tornado tragedy in oklahoma and extend our sympathies to the families involved. of course it is a movie so we can't believe everything we see in the movies. jenna: good to point it out, julie thank you for that. we'll be right back with more "happening now."
