It’s . . . Superman: It was supposed to be faster than a speeding bullet, like its namesake, the Man of Steel. Instead, it was a roller coaster with feet of clay.

Grammy Gospel: While he wasn’t nominated for an award this time around, the Valley’s own five-time Grammy winner Andrae Crouch was still a part of this week’s Grammy ceremonies. “Tribute--The Songs of Andrae Crouch” was awarded a Grammy as best pop/contemporary gospel album. . . . The songs, recorded by various gospel artists, honor Crouch, a gospel legend and pastor of Pacoima’s Christ Memorial Church.

Policing the Police: It’s going to be easier for Valley residents who want to lodge complaints against the men and women who protect and serve. Forget the long trek downtown to Parker Center.
