Perhaps it's Spiderman who lives there 
maybe you're right, Superman has his frozen fortress... but nobody even said where Spidey lives
That's classified you know 
He's a bit more secresive than 
& 
He's a bit more secresive than & that's true... always liked Spidey a lot more than Superman anyway... I mean, ok, he's an alien from the planet Krypton, so what the F does he care about "the American way"?
No, and he's too powerful. It's hard making up good stories when he's that invinsible. Then you have to make the badasses quite extraordinary as well, and then it doesn't become good stories. My fav is actually Then I have a soft spot for Hulk as well, he's so tragic!
Then I have a soft spot for Hulk as well, he's so tragic!oh yeah... see if you can find something called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"... its been done as a simple story, and also a balck and white comic... the original story is by Larry Niven I believe, and its all about the problems Superman would have trying to get an Earth woman pregnant... something they never actually deal with in the comics...
I thi9nk I like Spiderman best really... he just always seemed cooler than most of the others. Batman I loved when I was a kid and they had the original Batman TV show... it was so campy it was funny. Yeah Hulk is very tragic, poor guy.
The one thing that I never got with Superman, well two things, number one, why does he even need to pretend to be Klark Kent? I mean, guys basically invincible, as long as he doesn't fall in love with Louis or anything, nobody could really hurt him seriously... (oh yes, I know krytonite... but really, I always felt like that was a cop out) and second... why is anyone ever fooled by his disguise? I mean come on, you can't tell it's the same person just because they are wearing glasses?????

Yes, that Clark Kent figure is a bit beyond me too, especially since he seems to be such a complete dork. I mean who would really want to be him? When you can be Superman and have Louis and all would be merry!
And about babies, I would consider the human/kryptonian bodies a genetical no-match, no matter that they look alike. After all their planets are too far and even if there are some common ancestor, as it was hinted at in one story (The Antediluvian if I remember correctly) they must have developed too far away from each other, just as with Darvin's Finches.
Yes, I remember that original Batman show, with bubbles where it read SLAM BAM and BOOOM! Awesomly cheesy! And how they sprayed radiation on stuff to be able to chase it!

lol, yes indeed... I would not be Klark Kent if I could be Superman.
As for babies, setting aside the idea that they could not interbreed, what happens if they do? Wouldn't the baby have super powers? It would burst out of Louis at the first opportunity like Alien. And what about Superman's sex life? What happens if he masturbates? The sperm would also have super powers, so it would be able to fly... and any fertile woman within hundreds of miles would likely get pregnant... and why wasn't young Klark's bedroom ceiling filled with tiny holes? Niven goes on and on about questions like that, things nobody had ever thought about before... and it's hilarious!
Yeah, they didn't care all that much about spreading radiation around in those days!
