That's what I said before. He has slow reflexes, even compared to humans.

No matter which way you look at it, the physics are screwed up.  Even if you rationalize that Superman was caught off guard when the manhole cover hit him, would it have really moved him?
I agree.  In some respects even # IV was better than #II.

You're right, it should have just bounced off him. One more thing, what does the "S" on Superman's chest stand for?

It was supposed to be the El family crest or something.

Then why "S"? Why not E, or even J? I originally thought it stood for Superman, or even Smallville, but then I saw the symbol on Marlon Brando's shirt in the movie. So that means it couldn't stand for Superman, because Jor-El was dead at least 30 years before he was called Superman. One more thing, on Krypton, why do they have hyphens between their first and last names (Jor-El, Kal-El, Lara-El, etc.)?

I always thought it stood for Siegel and Shuster.
