Was that military guy supposed to be Sarge Steel or did I mishear?
I was trying to draw a parallel. In the DC Universe, the public at large thinks that Zeus was just a myth but we readers know for a fact that he's real. I'm wondering if somehow Superman became more of a mythical being/urban legend who people have only caught glimpses of and there have been comic books and movies about him but no one actually thinks he's real (even though he is).
Yeah, it might be something like unproven reports of Superman were just turned into works of fiction.
