Superhombre!
Filed Under (comics, movies) by APK on 16-04-2007
In 1946 there was a Mexican film made. A Mexican Superman film, that is. Titled El Superhombre, it starred Arturo Castro and Susana Cora.
It had a joyus movie poster, I think so, at least.
SUPER HOMBRE!
And yet. Something in me wants to mock the fuck out of it. Like the way it has (superman) in tiny letters. As if there was confusion?
“Oh shit, Timmy, look! It’s the adventures of el Superhombre!”
“I wonder if he could beat Batman!”
“I wonder if he could beat Superman!”
“But he is Superman, Timmy.”
“No, he’s SUPERHOMBRE. Superman is just a dumb gringo.”
Come on. Did he secretly want to date Mujer de la Maravilla? Why is he busting through paper? Can’t Superman, traditionally in posters, break chains and brick? Is Superhombre just a day superlaborer and thus legally only allowed to work with paper until he could join a union? I don’t know! I DON’T KNOW!
