The REAL Superman Returns...

The Buzz is BIG for James Gunn's new Superman movie...

....comparing it favorably to the two Richard Donner Superman films starring Christopher Reeve, returning the character to the wholesome embodiment of, well, "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"!
And in these cynical times, we certainly need that!
Bring that guy back!
I'm looking forward to it!
Here's a, dare I say, SuperCut of the best of the numerous trailers...

Go See It!

Previous Men of Steel!

With a "rebooted" Man of Steel currently in release...
...I thought we'd take a look at the previous live-action movie versions!
First up, Kirk Alyn's highly-underrated serial hero...

Then George Reeves' Superman, who first appeared in the movies...

...and, though he popped up almost continuously on the small screen, the Last Son of Krypton didn't reappear on the big screen until 1978...
..restored scene from Superman II explaining how he got his powers back!

...after two awful sequels, Superman didn't come back to movies until 2006 in a sincere, but flawed, attempt to continue the story from the end of Superman II...
And now, a total reboot!
