Superman. The ultimate superhero. Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Now Science of Superman puts these powers to the test, revealing what's plausible based on Earth-bound laws of physics, biology and autonomy, and what's pure science-fiction. How might gravity, x-rays, ballistics and radiation apply to Superman if he was real?
Premieres June 29th, 9 p.m.est on the National Geographic Channel. |

He's an alien.
That's my excuse for every Superman question.

Of course he is, but it's going to be funny to see scientists explain it. Besides they're going to show clips of Superman Returns. |

I think it's just a clever marketing ploy, and it's definitely clever enough to get me to watch lol.

 All sorts of these things come out when the movies do. I remember there being the science of Marvel when X2 came out.

Yeah I remember that one, and M.Night Shyamalan "documentary" when The Village came out. I'm hooked on most of those.
