Mayim Bialik Cried at the Man of Steel Trailer [Exclusive Interview]

For The Big Bang Theory‘s Mayim Bialik, art imitates life much more directly than any of the show’s other performers; a real-life PhD in neuroscience and a lifetime of reading comic books called her to the attention of the folks at Gillette, who were putting together a campaign centered around how Superman would shave his invulnerable hair.Her Enzymatic Follicle Denaturation Theory raised some eyebrows around here, and we figured it was a good opportunity to try and track her down and ask her about Superman, The Big Bang Theory and being a geek girl in today’s charged culture.ComicBook.com: So for your theory on how the Man of Steel shaves, here’s my big question: With the rest of the people on the panel for the Gillette question, they kind of tried to make Superman work in the context of known science. You seem to assume that Kryptonian technology would change science as we know it, and basically say that we have to approach Superman on his own terms to come up with an answer, is that about right?
