    I work for Discovery Channel. Trust me, with Superman Returns being a cashcow in the box office, this will air and repeat about a thousand times.

    I liked it. It was basically about if Superman's abilities had any actual scientific plausibility behind them.

    It'll air again tomorrow (29th) at 4PM on Discovery. It'll also be on the National Geographic Channel as well...

    Here's a bit of info on the program from Superman Homepage

    I watched this Sunday night on Discovery... pretty good, I think. Some of it was plausible, some of their theories had holes, but it was good just the same.
