I said WHEN not WHERE. Geez, why is it so hard to get a straight answer about a fast food joint in a thread about Superman? I just can't understand it....

Many years ago, probably around a decade. As far as I can recall, Carl's bought Hardees and kept their name, while putting the Carl's products on their menu. Hardees is generally known for offering food that makes Carl's look like Souplantation.
Zack Snyder has apparently conceived a new, animated short that will, in a single unbroken shot, pay homage to Superman’s evolution over the least three quarters of a century.
We’ll apparently see the short pay homage to:
Max Fleischer’s cartoons, on-screen portrayals by George Reeve and Christopher Reeves, iconic versions drawn by artists Wayne Boring, Curt Swan and Neal Adams, on up through Henry Cavill’s interpretation in Man of Steel.
is Souplantation a good thing?
Actually, my quote above I was just joking....but since you mentioned it. I'm not sure about your reference though...is Souplantation a good thing? Sorry, I really no nothing about Hardees. I just know Carl's was for a long time just a California company....Karcher started it here...

Souplantation generally lacks meat and probably makes it difficult to eat too many calories.

So much care and devotion has been brought to create the world of Superman, and Superman isn’t there. It’s a big, expensive party, and the guest of honor hasn’t shown up. Snyder’s take hasn’t corrupted or disrespected the character. This isn’t a careless adaptation as much as it’s a misguided one. Superman isn’t easy. Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer try to find the hero in his fathers, in a character caught between two worlds, in a “realistic” take about an alien hiding amongst humans, and as long as Superman isn’t on screen, they’ve succeeded on an emotional level. Trying to find depth outside of the hero is important, but Superman is supposed to be the realization of all the hard work that’s gone into his past. He’s supposed to be the product of hopes, fears, triumphs, and downfalls, but it only adds up to someone who can leap tall buildings in a single bound. When Lois asks Kal-El what the “S” emblem stands for, he responds that it’s not an “S”. He says on Krypton, it means “hope”. But in Man of Steel, it’s a symbol without a Superman.
