Supermen
Here’s more about the initiative to restore and preserve the boyhood home of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel. I can see the point of getting ordinary people to contribute, and I’m glad there are famous names associated with this project, including Stephen Colbert and David Letterman, but why doesn’t Warners take care of it?
