Superman the Musical
In honor of my favorite character’s 80th birthday, I’ve thought about re-watching basically all of the Superman stuff I own and posting my thoughts....especially on some of the rare stuff like the 1975 ABC musical...

The Man of Steel turns 80 this year. And tomorrow Action Comics releases it’s 1000th issue. Superman is unapologetically my favorite comic book character. Yes, even here and now, in this age of the cynic, the contrarian, and the naysayer, he’s my favorite. Even in what feels like an endless sea of Batman fans, he is still my favorite.

Everyone who practiced a religion, just said their religion (pagan, Christian, Buddhist, spiritualist, etc). Nothing else. No tirades. No proselytizing. At most maybe something like “reformed” whatever or maybe someth...
