Well, he is 76 years old. Everyone slows down a little as they get older. My 88-year-old mother can’t run a four minute mile, but she can still walk on her own. So don’t worry, Superman, leaping a tall building in two bounds is still pretty good.
I hadn’t thought of doing the math that way. Good point. Bolsters my argument that he shouldn’t be too upset about slowing down a little in his old age.

Looks like he has put on some weight. So it’s to be expected.

Just noticed the glasses. Has he lost his X-Ray vision or is he now better focused?

I wonder if his speed has been affected; is he as fast as a speeding bullet or just a fast ball.

Such is the gravity of the situation, and gravity is winning.

Also, it’s getting harder and harder to find a telephone booth to change in.

And how exactly do you leap a building in two bounds? Wouldn’t that be sort of like crossing a chasm in two short jumps?
