Look! Up in the sky! It's our childhood!
If you read comics as a kid, you read some Superman. And, love him or hate him, you knew who Superman was, and, secretly, you probably wished the people around you could be a little more like him. Granted, it's easier to have an unbendable moral code if you don't need to eat and nothing can ever hurt you, but still, you had to respect the guy. And if you are a Comics Dad (tm), I bet your kid knew something about Superman before they could say the word "Batmobile".
Now, I have nothing against messrs. Cavill and Snyder, but that *woosh* you heard in 2013 was every Dad in the world sucking in a breath to exclaim THAT'S NOT WHAT SUPERMAN DOES! IMO, they didn't get it.
You know who got it? Christopher Reeve. And Margot Kidder. And Richard Donner. And, while Marlon Brando didn't totally get it, at least my man got paid. Join us as we spin the Earth backwards to review Donner's 1978 ur-superhero film SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE.
