Uploaded by Batmitey on Dec 15, 2007
"The Comic Strip Hero" made by the BBC in 1981 for their Arena programme. It documents the popularity of Superman and his portrayal in the movies.
It contains some great interviews with the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Also, interviews with Superman actors Kirk Alyn and Christopher Reeve. It also features comic book people such as Will Eisner (creator of the Spirit) and Trina Robbins; it has the science fiction writer Larry Niven talking about the science of Superman and also has Margot Kidder and David Prowse.

That exchange between the students was fascinating, considering this was made before Watchmen. The third student said that we needed a refreshing point of view on Superheroes, and something that "says something". Five years after she says those words, Watchmen comes out.

Lol, that guy really over thought super-insemination

This is a great documentry, i hope someone uploads a BBC Late Show documentry, which was all about Batman it came out when the first film was released in 89
-
Funny when the one girl says superheroes are really played out--Watchmen and DKR hadn't even happened yet. People have been saying that since 1945 I'm sure.

Wertham was so wrong. He conveniently forgets that the essential appeal of Superman is that he is secretly Clark Kent, the everyman. He forgets this because it would interfere with his hypothesis.

jeez, get a frickin life.

Despite what is stated here from I Tunes..Mr.Jack Cassidy doesn't duet with Mr.Holiday on "Doing Good"..Mr.Holiday does the tune solo.

I love hearing that tune again from the Broadway stage musical"It's Superman"
"Doing Good!"performed by the gentleman..who first sang the song..Mr.Bob
Holiday.
