Talking Smack About Superman
Cena went on to reveal that he got to go on a talk show and talk some smack about Superman. He thinks Superman is iconic because of the branding and the idea of a true virtuous superhero. ‘You have to start the story of good and evil somewhere, and I think Superman is building block one of that,’ he said.
