With all of the speculation about whether the latest big-screen incarnation of Superman prefers the company of Lex Luthor to Lois Lane, we've lost sight of a crucial issue that once gripped all of Superfandom, namely, the controversy over the painstaking construction and calibration of Brandon Routh's possibly oversized Package of Steel™. Back in September, the costume designer on Superman Returns promised Newsweek that the famous codpiece would be kid-safe. If this officially licensed action figure is any indication (photographed at Wal-Mart by a reader who has earned our undying devotion), the folks at Warner Bros. must have felt confident that they achieved that goal so completely that children age five and up are invited to poke the hero in the superjunk without fear of injury, either to their delicate fingers, the toy's molded plastic genitalia, or to their own normal psychological development.
