How Superman became the blueprint for all superheroes, from Action Comics #1 to the symbol of hope we know today
A look back at Superman’s cinematic history: Reeve, Routh, Cavill... and nearly, Nicolas Cage
The wild production journey of Superman Lives — from Kevin Smith’s comic-faithful script to Tim Burton’s surreal vision
The infamous demands of producer Jon Peters (yes, including giant spiders and polar bears)
