Allow me to link to a couple of previous posts:
The first thing I wanna talk about is something I haven’t been able to articulate very well for a while, but I’m going to give it a go here. I’ve read a lot of posts about how a certain writer or filmmaker “gets”or (doesn’t get) Superman. These posts usually give me a bit of a pause. Do I get the character? To me Superman is every much this:

I’m pretty sure I’ve written posts like this before, and I’ll probably be repeating myself here for the most part, but what the heck…I can’t pass up a Superman appreciation thread.
My first experience with the character that I have vivid memories of was in the mid to late 80s. I was 7 years old. I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the first time I was introduced to Superman…but it’s definitely what I most strongly remember. Superman: The Movie was on HBO. Anyone remember their old 3D spinning logo …
Superman is and always will be, my favorite character. Why does the world need him? I’ll keep it simple. Because the world needs hope and humility as much as it needs excitement and wonder. No other hero brings those in equal doses as much as Superman does.
