And in some other entertainment news of the morning, it seems Nicholas 'Luke' Cage and his wife have decided to name their child...

Kal-el.

I wonder what the choice was if the baby was a girl?

Anyone have their baby names planned out? How do you go about choosing names for children anyway, those of you with family?
...it's something that I seem to think about an awful lot, strangely.

I'm gonna name my son "Batman".

"Hey little kid, who are you?"
"I'm Batman".

I'm going to name my son Megatron. That way he will grow up wanting to rule the galaxy.

You have to wonder what goes through people's minds sometimes don't you?

There's no way that kid is going to suffer at school with that name...

See, thanks to All-Star Batman and Robin #2, instead of just "I'm Batman" in response to that question, I now hear "What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? I'm the goddamn Batman."

Frank Miller, making Batman's dialogue relevant to kids today...

Good spoof of that here, btw:

Sadly I often feel celebrities do it solely for more attention for themselves. Which is surely child abuse if ever I heard it?

I love the last line of that page. The article refers to the lady as his 3rd wife, and mentions he had at least one other child with a different woman, which we could assume was at some point, his wife as well, and they find the need to finish the article with "His two previous marriages, to actress Patricia Arquette and singer Lisa Marie Presley, ended in divorce. "

Cage has now become a bigger nerd than any other comic fan could ever hope to be. Poor kid. Poor extremely wealthy kid...

Insiders Report Celebrities to Spawn Justice League (Us Magazine)

Following the birth of future Kryptonian hero Kal-El to father Nicholas Cage, other celebrities are rumored to be joining him in giving birth to super heros, mystery men, and assorted other defenders of justice.

Paris Hilton, already pregnant by ex-fiance Paris Latis, has decided to name her child either Bruce (Batman) or Diana (Wonder Woman), depending on the sex of the child. Suitably enough, world-class bicyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong has changed his oldest son's name to Wally, after the second Flash.

An argument has arisen among Hollywood's 'World's Finest' over who should have the honor of naming their child after the Green Lantern. Russel Crowe has expressed interest, but only if he gets to name his son after Hal Jordan, the original Green Lantern. Many Hollywood insiders agree that Kyle Rayner was a more interesting character, and didn't turn into the world-shattering entity Parallax. Others claim that since John Stewart is the only Green Lantern to become a long-term member of the Justice League, that right should be given to Beyonce and on-again-off-again fiance Jay-Z.

Britney Spears has followed suit by naming her newborn Oliver Queen Federline, drawing the name from the renowned Green Arrow. This has created an entirely new controversy. According to Nicholas Cage, "We already agreed that movie stars get the Justice League, and the music industry gets the X-Men." When pressed for a possible solution, Cage suggested, "She could give him a name from the JSA. No one cares about them."

Sod it, I`m calling my kid Unicron. And maybe give him Orson as a middle name.

Maybe that way if he becomes a fat bastard like me he`ll have an excuse.

But by the same reasoning will fail time and time again and then get called Galvatron after a meeting with a planet destroyer.
