The first glimpses of the product of Nicholas Cage and his sushi waitress bride Alice Kim's loins, Kal-el, have hit the internets, and we are thrilled to report the adorable little tyke has inherited none of his father's perpetually mopey features.
Nicolas Cage has finally made a clean break with reality, saddling his newborn son with the name Kal-el.
No, we fear that whatever drugs Cage ingested before naming the baby also make the proud father believe that the infant's been imbued with superpowers, leading to a tragic incident in which the actor realizes too late that little Kal is not, in fact, bulletproof.

 Blogcritics.org: Nicolas Cage Speaks About National Treasure, aka Raiders of the National Archives
Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage stars as Benjamin Franklin Gates, an archaeologist and treasure-hunter who discovers that a map to a priceless bounty lies on the back of the Declaration of Independence.
The chick's hot, but seeing Nicolas Cage (a historian and scholar of some sort, mind you) and his horse-teeth talk in that funny voice about finding a treasure map and stealing the Declaration of Independence insults your intelligence so much it just makes you laugh.
I disagree about Cage also: he is absolutely all over the place in his choices of films and roles and his flexibility has served him very well and led to his Oscar.

 Unmistakable Nicolas Cage photo gallery and fan page
The son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (a brother of director Francis Ford Coppola) and dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang, Cage changed his name early in his career to make his own reputation, succeeding brilliantly with a host of classic, quirky roles by the late 1980s.
But a job reading lines with auditioners for uncle Francis's Rumble Fish (1983) landed him a role in that film, followed by the punk-rocker in Valley Girl (1983) which was released first and truly launched his career.
Just as Nick was named after a comic book character, Luke Cage, so has he named his son after the comic book character Kal-el (aka Superman).
