There is a child at the school where I teach whose family is obsessed with Batman. The little boy carries a Batman lunch box, has Batman PJs, and constantly refers to himself as Batman. His father also thinks HE is Batman. The boy has told me his dad is in fact the real Batman and his mother is Catwoman. His father drives the Batmobile, his mother drives the Catmobile. And I thought was joke until I saw his dad's car one day and it was a long, black car with BATMAN on the license plante.
And sadly, I saw one of his dad's commericals on tv for his business recently and it featured...you guessed it! Batman.
I thought these people were a bit odd.
Until now. Actor Nicolas Cage and his wife Alice Kim Cage, welcomed son Kal-el Coppola Cage into the world Monday morning. And as any good Superman fan would know, Kal-el (or Kel-el, not sure on the spelling) is Superman's real name on his home planet Krypton. This is just sad. The only good thing that can possibly come out of this is a possible role for the child somewhere in the future. And even then, people will so make fun of him.
If you too are a Superman fan and don't want to go so far as to name your offsrping after him, fear not. You can still get a cool little Superman costume for your kid.
