Build another time bubble in the fortress? If so, then why couldn't Superman?<br /><br />I do a feature from time to time over on my own blog (http://kidr77.blogspot.com - excuse the plug), called 'Loopy Lapses In Logic, which deals with this sort of thing.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-21494040613494310712013-01-25T18:14:04.604-06:002013-01-25T18:14:04.604-06:00Although I read the story very long ago, I remembe... Although I read the story very long ago, I remember there was some explanation as to why Superman couldn't do his fly-fast-break-time-barrier thing.

But you're right, it's kind of funny.<br /><br />The zoo thing didn't bother me as it did you. I figure that the two dudes are likely to keep the cat fed until they collect $$$$ from the zoo-- though I have my doubts as to whether it was ever THAT easy just to ship any old animal to any zoo. I imagine it's a complicated affair. But it was a quick-and-dirty way of solving the problem, so that's the way it was solved.Gene Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495562795211277146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-24780426972367782082013-01-25T15:23:56.195-06:002013-01-25T15:23:56.195-06:00Good times!

I mean back in those days (and pretty much always) Supes could do juat about anything anytime he wanted. I mean one time he actually punhced reality so hard that he broke reality. Also yeah, that cage doesn't look very sturdy and he coulda just flown to the ocean in like half a second and gotten a huge ass fish and plopped it down in front of the cat. The thing that bothers me most about Superman is that....aside from being able to do practically anything...is that he is so fast and can move without breaking the sound barrier and can move so fast and stop on a dime. That is the real thing that bothers me. The Flash is sup;posed to have the whole speed thing. That is the whole point of the Flash. If Superman can do the Flash thing than what is the point of the Flash? I would still have a problem with it, but I wouldn't have such a HUGE problem with it if Supes could move really fast but couldn't stop on a dime like he can. If he ran the risk of the faster that he moved the more risk he ran of not being able to stop and smashing into things I would like that ALOT more if they insisted on him having the superspeed thing that is.MarvelX42https://www.blogger.com/profile/00537462072422407770noreply@blogger.com
