Kal Penn ("Kumar") will star in upcoming Superman movie!

Oh, wait: the fine print--he'll play Lex Luthor's genius sidekick.

Ah, South Asians on the move!  Next stop: Desi Supervillain!

Finally, a role model for South Asian kids!

(Kal Penn's character's name corrected on Thursday; apparently, I have difficulty telling the Western name ("Harold") from the Indian one ("Kumar"); thanks, Leena)
