Hoping Kevin Costner Doesn’t Screw Up New Superman Movie

So Kevin Costner will play Clark Kent’s father in the new Superman movie. (The headline says “adoptive father”, but that’s obvious because Clark Kent is Superman’s Earth name. The correct way to say it would be “Kal-El’s adoptive father.” Geek Gold Card, people.)
