      @@towermoss Comics can be topical and feature social issues. What you're confused about and what people mean at the core of the issue when bringing it up is that the writer's own personal views and beliefs shouldn't filter through into the actual stories.
      The art and subtlety of the creators of decades gone by that everyone celebrates for workijgbthese political issues of the day into the Superhero comics, is that they did so in a balanced way, touching on issues and allowing readers to make up their own minds. This also meant that they didn't alienate readers. The writers and artists of today are nowhere near as skillful or have just outright dropped all pretense and lost their minds (not all but many) because they leave absolutely no doubt as to where their own politics lean and spill their own feelings into the pages, which effect the stories themselves. That is the problem people have with it. There's a subtle and skillful way to do it, but many of these modern creators over the last half decade +/- have the subtly of a nitrate bomb.

Comics are art, and art has always been about personal views. It’s impossible for an author to create a work of fiction without it being informed by their personal perspective, even if the work does not advocate for the author’s personal beliefs.

    Man, 2006 was such a great year to be a Superman fan. While Superman Returns was ultimately a disappointment for me, I'll always cherish the time leading up to it and just the hype and anticipation I had. You had Bryan Singer's journals, the teaser, the trailers, this documentary all leading up to it. I took my entire family and girlfriend at the time to see the movie opening night as it was going to be my first time seeing Superman on the big screen and I wanted to experience that with everyone. Again, the movie wasn't what I hoped it would be, but still a great experience.
    Then later that year on November 28 not only did Superman Returns come out on dvd, but so did all the Reeve films in that awesome tin set with a bunch of extra features and The Richard Donner Cut of Superman II. Pretty sure Lois and Clark, The Adventures of Superman, and Superman the Animated Series all had dvd releases that year, too. Not to mention the Superman Returns video game. Sadly, another disappointment, but that's neither here nor there. The hype train really was running on all cylinders for Superman that year.

      I personally loved and still love Superman Returns. Yes he was not around for the kid, but he was not aware of his existence. Brandon was awesome in the movie. I love the new Superman also with Henry Cavil and like the idea that he might have a son with Loise ( not sure if spelling is correct).

  • @raygordonteacheschess5501

    1:13 After he says "Easy Miss, I've got you," Lois responds with "You've got me? Who's got YOU!?" I was eleven when I saw that live in a theater it was awesome as was his trying to change in a 1978-style phone booth.

    A SUPER documentary worthy of the first and greatest superhero of them all!
    I remember this documentary back when it first came out in 2006. I was enthralled as a youngster to learn about Superman's origins in the real world for the first time through this, and it still gives that same thrill, more that 15 years later.
    In retrospect, the only thing about this documentary I would be critical of is how little coverage the Death and Return of Superman story arc and the DCAU are given. It's clear that Bryan Singer (who also made this doc, in addition to Superman Returns), cares more about the live action Superman material, and does not give much thought to the comics or animation (aside from the first appearance and the 40's cartoon). Granted, more in-depth docs about the Death and Return of Superman story arc and the DCAU exist both on this channel and their respective DVDs, but it would have been nice if some more attention were given to those significant milestones in this documentary itself.
    Like many of my fellow commenters, I too want to see an update of this documentary to include material like the other 7 seasons of Smallville, Man of Steel/DCEU, New 52, Rebirth, Jon Kent, etc. Plus, how Superman impacted the creation of all the other Superheroes that came after him.
    Thanks for uploading this Warner Bros. Entertainment. Keep Flying!

    This documentary was made as an "extra" for the "Superman Returns" DVD (why Kevin Spacey is narrating), and made way before "Man of Steel" was even written, so complaining about no MoS mention is pointless, as they are just streaming it, not re-making it. So, save your fanboy outrage...

I was over the moon with those too and probably said to myself back then whose more perfect then these two? Then over a decade later Kevin Costner and Diane Lane casted.....Yessssss!!!! It was kind of cool to see Lex and Clark as friends in their youth. There's a part of me that would love the to see the to of them play the characters as adults after Luthor really become his arch enemy and the ultimate threat to mankind. Seeing Reeve on Smallville as an obvious nod to Stephen Hawking was just Incredible!

It is fun to play the "what if" game sometimes.... if Superman never came out & Wonder Woman or Batman still did & became the inspiration for some of Spiderman's story would his costume have been black & gray & instead of being a small guy in a newspaper office would he have been a billionaire with a secret Spiders Den or maybe he came from a hidden island of godlike beings.
