Superman hits 75, DC Releases Nifty Short to Celebrate

75 years ago, the modern Superhero was created by two Jewish kids in Cleveland. One was even Canadian. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster called their character Superman, and the rest is most definitely history. Now DC has released this short animated video, conceived by animation genius Bruce Timm, and filmmaker and celluloid Superman guru Zack Snyder. It's a little awkward, cramming a lot of stories into 2 minutes (and I really wish they didn't end with Supes in his blandest costume) but aside from that it's pretty damn cool.


Up, Up, and Awaaaaaaay!

Coolio. That was fantastic. Not afraid to admit, eyes got a little watery.

And I'm just flabbergasted that Zack Snyder can help put that together, and yet seem to have no concept of the character based watching on his film.
