| “ | I created you... for one reason. To see my dream of becoming Superman come true. Please understand, I realized many years ago that I, myself, could never become Superman, so... I went about achieving my personal dream the way men have since the beginning of humanity. I had a son. My dream was that... my child would succeed where I had not. To be... both man and Superman. | ” |
