    @jeremy1989:

    Simply put. He would lose that limb.

    Even when a alternate timeline Power Girl was shown wounded in one eye, it was clear she had lost all sight on that eye. The eye didn't just regenerate.

    Even kryptonians have their limits.

    Doesn't matter, half of infinity is still infinity.

    If both arms can lift infinity, one arm can.

    @precrisisbardock:

    Still hurting because of ScrewAttack spank to all DB fanboys?

    Don't worry. It's not like ScrewAttack is the max authority in comics. They even thrown one or two facts in there that were incorrect.

    So the failed atempt at a joke missed the goal by a mile.

    No regen, huh?

    Weird, I thought Supes had a healing factor, but if you somehow took his leg off, maybe via teleportation or something, I really doubt it would grow back either.

    I saw Gladiator get stabbed with a giant superspear through the hip long ways and keep fighting like nothing happened and healed immediately. I imagine Supes is the same way. No idea what would happen if you took Glads entire leg though. Probably would only have 1 left leg lol.

    I don't think Kryptonians ever demonstrated a healing factor of the level that they could regrow lost body parts.

    @mercinwithamouth:

    The part about the Superman movie with Nicolas Cage.

    I followed the process, and I got to tell you, what I saw. The sketches, the idea behind the movie. It would've been a disaster.

    They were gonna try and do a 180 degree turn on Superman. In my opinion it was arriving at a place where it looked a little like Hellraiser. A kryptonian Hellraiser.

    Of all the ideas for a Superman movie, it was without a doubt one of the worst I saw. And they wanted to change so many critical details it was almost certainly doomed to failure.

    I mean look at MoS and the heat it has taken. And the changes were minimal.

    @mercinwithamouth:

    Exactly.

    I know there were other plans and ideas for a Superman movie way before Superman Returns, some were alright, but none were actually good. Not that I remember at least. Yes Returns was what it was, no need to beat a man that's on the ground, so I'll skip it. But the Nicolas Cage Superman, when all info came out. Sketches and stuff like that, and also the documentary, I honestly looked at all that and said "Good! It never saw the light of day."

    @heavenlydarkdragon: Same here. The documentary was interesting, but I'm glad the film was never made. Nicholas Cage.. like... seriously?

    I think it would be pretty cool to have a Cabl-esque Superman from the future though

    That was actually Andy Diggle's plan.

    Shame he didn't come to execute it. I was all in for it.
