Why Kids Need Superheroes
There is a moment in the most recent 'Man of Steel' movie trailer that actually made me feel young. Early in the trailer we see a young Clark Kent playing in the tall grass on a perfect summer evening with his red hero cape on. It seems that even heroes dream of being heroes.
And it made me think of myself in the 1980's: watching the original Richard Donner 'Superman,' running around in the red cape my mother made me, and dreaming of being a hero.
