Put the Nicholas Cage/Superman thing to rest. It was over eight years ago he was attached to the project along with Tim Burton, and it fell through. He was younger with more hair and has muscle, but does not look like Superman - the costume test of him with a black hairpiece on, he just LOOKED CREEPY.
Kal-El for his son? Well...not the worst name for a celebrity child.
I'm a little suprised it wasn't Luke. People may have forgotten Nic took his last name from Luke Cage, his favourite hero growing up. He's actually Nicholas Coppola, nephew of filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
Changed his name to avoid being always associated with his famous family.
