The History of How Superman Flies In Film
Clark Kent. Kal-El. The Last Son of Krypton. The Man of Steel. Superman. The iconic hero has been a mainstay in pop culture for decades now, ever since the serialized TV outings in the 1950s. The character is arguably the most recognizable superhero even now, a time when the next Superman solo outing seems to be years away at least. In recent years, it’s become clear that DC’s parent studio, Warner Bros., lacks a clear idea of what to do with the brand, let alone with its most famous character. In less than a decade, the DCEU has gone from a dark, serious tone in the form of Zack Snyder’s films to a disconnected world, not even a universe at all, before finally now coming back together for a shared universe idea once again, albeit with many of the original elements (and actors) fading into the wind.
