Youtube video. Despite the comments indicating otherwise, the footage appears to be genuine.

I know, it's one of those links that's done the rounds many times already, but it rarely fails to bring a smile to my face. It's a gallery of actual covers from old Superman comics providing incontrovertible evidence of why the Man of Steel is, quite clearly, a... not so very nice man
