So I'm going to take a page out of the Doug playbook here and do a movie review. I initially planned on doing one for Little Man, as it's a pretty easy target to rip into. The box even says "The funniest movie since White Chicks!". In short, it's bad, but not nearly as bad as the utter pile of shit that was Superman Returns

The way I see it, there's a couple of ways to make Superman interesting, and they weren't taken in this movie (which is why I didn't see it). The first, and more high-brow way is to examine how that sort of power would affect someone. You can examine how failing to save people affects him psychologically and affects the people who expect to be saved (example), or take a look at how having these sort of powers might change a man, like in Alan Moore's Miracleman.
The other way to make things interesting, or at least entertaining, is to go completely the opposite way and aim for pure wackiness. Think the kind of stuff that you would see in the 60's Batman series, but with an omnipotent (and sometimes not to bright) being. For example,
