Quote1 One failure like that in a lifetime has been a heavy burden to carry around all these years... But how can even a Superman remain sane-- If he has to watch history repeat itself... If he’s utterly helpless to prevent the same tragic fate from snuffing out two more precious lives-- Lois... Lana... I can’t let it happen again!!! Quote2
