That’s because Superman is a major stockholder in Haliburton who got the no bid contract to rebuild.

Well, there is a reason they closed down superheroes in “The Incredibles.” Nobody could afford “super-power damage” premiums.

$2 trillion equals 1 Kryptonian dollar, right?

It is that Kryptonian banking system and their commodity backed currency...

They better do well at the box office then. Even if most theaters don’t have a box office.

Comments like this explain why Hollywood is remaking "Robocop" next.

Yes the damages from the battle were extensive and the loss of life (fictionally) tragic, but it sure is better than the extinction level event that Zod was planning.

It’s easily the best Superman movie made so I don’t see any problem with the comment. Robocop isn’t exactly a classic that could ruined by a reboot either.

So Supes should have sat back and did nothing. Total damage if he did that: 5,000,000,000 dead, $100,000,000,000,000 in destruction (gross estimate of the value of all property on Earth).

There are people at the Washington Post with entirely too much time on their hands.

Wait! Maybe Superman can fly around the Earth faster and faster, and cause the Earth to rotate backwards. Then time will turn backward and everything will be back to normal.
