.. Michael William Rosenbaum... Otis (Ned Beatty) is one and the same person as.. Vril Dox I (Ned Beatty).. they are both exactly the same.. man... he is the biological father of Vril Dox II (James Callis).. something.. that is.. different.. quizzical.. something deeply, deeply, deeply enigmatic happens.. when the mind and consciousness of Perry White (George Clooney)... comes under the telepathic influence of Vril Dox I / Otis (Ned Beatty)... I'm not sure if Vril Dox I is a telepath in the comics.. but I really think he.. that he should be.. in the Steven Spielberg / Sophia Copolla.. Superman movies....
