Superman lookalikes or, more accurately, Jimmy Corrigan lookalikes at the Metropolis, IL Superman Celebration.

Wow. Just... wow.

Also: On a happier note, there's a part of this This American Life episode about a guy who dresses in a Superman costume and uses his powers for good.

Hee hee, that's not really too far from where I live . . . I love the massive Superman.

Those do, in fact, look almost exactly like the Jimmy Corrigan superman.
Especially the angles of the faces. Amazing.

I'm going to San Diego Comic Con next week (I am a comic book artist, part time). I'm sure I'll see a few of these guys. :)

I have a picture of myself in Supergirl costume. (Yes, that's a wig.) But it was Halloween; that's my excuse, at least.

I will admit that the cape was lots of fun.
