A nice Superman tribute

Inspiring and fun to watch, this quick look into the evolution of this character is worth every second.

A must-see for every Superman fan and also one of Bruce Timm finest works.

There'll Be Some Changes Made

Warner Brothers produced this two minute short to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of Superman; he flies out of Action Comics #1 and we watch as he slowly changes: the Fleischer Cartoon version, the innumerable add-ons in the 1950s, from Supergirl to Super-Dog to Super-Goldfish to Mister Mxyzptlk (actually introduced in 1944), to his reinvention as George Reeves. Then we get his revival and restoration in the 1970s movie version and graphic novels....

It's a puff piece, but it makes the real point that Superman has changed, as all mythic figures must in order to remain constant. In mythographic terms, the sign remains constant, but what it points to changes.

Happy 75th Birthday, Kal-El.

Happy 75 years

This is a decent tribute for all superman fans. Warner Bros did an okay job making this but it could have been better.

But if you grew up with Superman in his golden age then you would enjoy this tribute its available on YouTube.

A decent tribute

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 6 May 2016]

3 years ago, famous filmmaker Zack Snyder made this really short 2-minute movie as a tribute to Superman's 75th birthday. The title "Superman 75" already gives it away. I guess it is a nice summary, includes some shots with his friends and also decent fight sequences against antagonists and super-villains. The one I found most interesting was probably his doppelgänger. I guess if you are not really into superhero films and action or into comics, then this one will have little impact on you, but I personally think (not being a great comic fan myself) that this was a fairly enjoyable watch and (unlike some other work by the director) a successful outcome. If you like, Superman and are really an expert on him, then this is almost a must-see. I give it a thumbs-up.
