They could have used one of three letters. They have a hard time translating Superman for people who don't read the comic. Really, the first Donner film and the animated series are about the best. I disliked Superman Returns as much as I liked it and I can't say that about too many films. One thing about Star Trek XI, it didn't get bogged down with its own mythology, they just told a ST story. I'm hoping they will announce a Superman film project soon before DC/Warner loose the rights in 2012. As a Superman fan I noticed this right away. They could have used one of three letters.
