With the latest attempt to make 21st Century audiences care about the most iconic superhero in comic book history barrelling down upon us in the form of James Gunn's Superman, we're taking a look at the character's long cinematic history, from '40s cartoons and serials up to the last notoriously botched attempt to make him the centerpiece of a shared cinematic universe. Superman expert Brian Fowler takes relative newbies Brennan Klein and Andrew Milne on a journey that asks such questions as What is the core essence of Superman? and Is there any reason to keep casting new Superman since Christopher Reeve died? and Is Superman more like Jesus, Moses, or a different figure altogether? Before getting to the main event, Andrew shares his thoughts on a 1989 Hong Kong picture with a world-class title, My Heart Is That Eternal Rose, while Brian and Brennan take a gander at some brand-new releases, Materialists and 28 Years Later.
