Its been in the news that Nicolas Cage has named his new baby boy Kal-El. Us comic geeks know that Kal-El happens to be Superman’s birth name. Not sure if this is better or worse than Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin Smith’s little girl. I’m thinking Kevin wins here.
In any case, this makes me feel less bad about how Sarah and I named our daughter.

Harley and Dinah are ordinary names.
Kal-El is freakishly not. On the other hand, he can threaten people who make fun of him with what happened in that film in 8mm. “My dad can make that happen to you. That’s how Hollywood works.”
It would’ve been funny if they’d named him Kon-El, since Cage passed on the Superman gig.
But if they named him Kon-El he’d be 50% Luther DNA, and you can’t have that.
Especially if Luthor’s dick is stuck in his ear!
