Superman & Comics: A Double Origin Story!

Superman: A Comic Book Icon's Evolution
In 1938, Superman leapt into the comic book world, sparking a revolution in storytelling. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman faced initial skepticism from publishers and critics who associated “Supermen” with Nietsche and fascism. Moreover, the early Superman was a rebel, who fought against social injustices with direct action.
As Superman soared in popularity, his character evolved, and he gained ever more powers. But Superman's invincibility made it difficult to craft compelling narratives. Enter John Byrne's 1986 reboot, which redefined Superman by humanizing his alter-ego, Clark Kent, and limiting his powers. This marked a turning point in comic book history, breathing new life into the character and paving the way for future reinterpretations.
Join us as we explore these pivotal moments in Superman's journey, charting the evolution of a comic book legend and the changing landscape of superhero storytelling.

Such a detailed video! Interesting to see a European perspective on the Man of Steel.

Thanks, Bart, I learned a lot! Any plans for a video about The Flash? I would like that Barry much ;)

I'll think about it! And in that case, I'll make it extra flashy ;-)
