It's the shorts.

Oh, you don't even understand.

Somebody, I am sure that somebody would kill somebody else over the fight over whether Superman should have trunks or not.

So I wasn't aware of this conversation until I came onto the movie and I started trying to design the Superman suit.

And the truth is Superman always had trunks in the comics.

Do they make sense?

I mean, sort of.

They existed because when Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster first created the character, he was like a wrestling guy or a circus strong man, so he has these trunks on over his costume.

And, but then Zack Snyder came in and that was like the dark, more, you know, mean, cool version of Superman.

Right.

And he didn't have trunks.

He took away the trunks.

And so when Zack took away the trunks, there were tons of fans that were outraged.

Sure.

There are people that spend all the, you know, we think our world is divided in terms of Republicans and Democrats and that everybody's fighting about that stuff.

About trunks.

That's because you don't,

There are whole factions of people that don't even know, barely know who Donald Trump is.

And all they care about is whether Superman has trunks or not.

It's like a religion to some people.
