SOMEONE CARE TO EXPLAIN ME WHAT'S WITH ALL THE "L's&quo

[TRYGONEZ]

Just a personal doubt... why there are so many L's in Superman mythos...

Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Lana Lang, Jor-El (Jor-L), Lara, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Writers didnt think up of good names?

I dont know but I never thought about that...its pretty funny. :lol:

[WC]

Don't know, but normally in fiction writing, you would avoid having two characters whose names begin with the same letter as it can be confusing to the reader. Obviously this breaks that rule completely.

[TRYGONEZ]

and if we get into Smallville mythos it gets worse... Lionel Luthor, Lucas Luthor...

[Zac]

Don't forget Lori Lemaris

[TRYGONEZ]

See? And Lena... the childhood love of Lex Luthor, same name went to his daughter... Lena Luthor... BTW... what happened with her?

[TRYGONEZ]

Just found this... check it out.

and found many, many other Superheros with double letters in their names... (i.e. Peter Parker, Scott Summers, and a very very long list that I'll write here but later... right now I'm going to sleep.... it is 4.14 A.M.

See ya!

I remember in a interview with stan lee having him say that to not forget the characters names he made them start with the same letter (sue storm, reed richards, peter parker, etc).

[soonersuperman]

hah, that's crazy. i always wondered why there were so many names that began w/ the same letter. that superman man article about the double els was a making my eyes go crossed!

If they wait a few years they could have the red haired Lindsey Lohan play Lana Lang for a little double L irony.

If Superman were made in the 1960s, Martha Kent could've been played by Lotte Lenya (Colonel Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love). :wink:
