Earlier this year, The Man of Steel turned 75.
To commemorate the occasion, DC has released the following tribute:

Pretty cool.

I've seen a lot of people online complaining about what they think should have been in it (as people online are wont to do), but I loved it. Considering there's only 2 minutes to work with, they did a hell of a job pulling together Superman 101: Intro to Superman Studies.

I'm sure people will nitpit the hell out of this video - but I got shivers of joy from watching it. Anything that pays tribute to both Christopher Reeve's Superman AND the crappy Atari 2600 Superman videogame is a child of my heart. Three cheers for everyone involved in putting the video together :D

Some days I think I'm the only one in America who liked that Superman game for the 2600! And you know what? I liked the NES one, too!

As for the N64 game, well, that's one popular consensus got exactly right. If anything people undersell how bad that one is!

Oh don't get me wrong, I loved that crappy Atari 2600 game lol. Options being so limited then, it was the only "you're Superman / and you can fly!" experience available. (I never played the latter NES and N64 games.) So even though it was/is an 8bit nightmare, it was/is still beloved <3

As much fun as it was seeing all the different incarnations of Superman through the ages it was the music that made that video. To this day that John Williams' score always brings a smile to my face.

That was beautiful. Could happily watch more of near any of those segments. Makes me sad and homesick for Superman.

That Hans Zimmer theme at the end always jazzes me up. This was nicely done.

I could nitpick a little -- it seems to skip over the 80's entirely, with no nod to John Byrne, for instance -- but it was still pretty cool, all in all.

LOVE IT

Howdy, Stranger!
