Hilarious post by the folks at Comics Alliance. Loved the one by Lois Lane (for a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, she sure is dense).

What was Superman Singing?

Found at Dr. K’s 100-Page Super Spectacular:
In Final Crisis 7, Superman finally kills Darkseid by singing a song into the newly constructed Miracle Machine. Morrison doesn’t let the reader know exactly what song Superman sings, but instead leaves it up to the reader to fill in this particular gap.
