Year of Superman

Warner Brothers just launched a new site to celebrate what they call the Year of Superman. The page features an ace montage of different Supermen over the years, both live-action (I spotted George Reeves, Christopher Reeves, Dean Cain, the Smallville guy) and animated. The site's more or less a giant ad for all the Superman DVDs that'll be coming out later this year- including the never-before-seen Richard Donner cut of Superman II (Donner started work on the movie but left the production due to disagreements with the movie's producers- he was replaced by Richard Lester who created the version that was eventually released)- and of course the Superman Returns movie.

In other Superman news, John Holbo (famed lecture of PH1101E in NUS) just posted on the Crooked Timber blog about Chris Appelhans' (one of the artists on the great Flight comics anthology) wonderful Superman animated musical short that has a beaten Superman being revived by the magic of a little girl's song. Aaaw isn't that sweet?

By saying 'Smallville guy' and listing the others by their complete names I am frightened you've done that beautiful man a tremendous disservice.
