There's a new Superman film out this weekend... and although I haven't seen it yet, I can confidently predict it will be better than the last few, because Zack Snyder isn't involved. Maybe not quite up to Christopher Reeve's standards, but miracles don't happen that often.
Anyway, here are some Super Songs to celebrate...

"UN diary" was an anagram.

13. Bond villain found by Ash.

12. Blue eyes gets a shiner.
Frank Sinatra was old blue eyes... a shiner turns them black.
11. Protective, instrumental, elementary.
