The foul-mouth superhero action flick is back. The original Kick-Ass drew a lot of ire in the press for the depiction of Hit Girl, which had young and cute actress, Chloë Grace Moretz, spew all kinds of vile words, all while killing bad guys in a most entertaining fashion.

5 Things We Want in ‘Man of Steel’
