"Superman Returns" As A Christopher Reeve Film/What "Superman Returns" should have been if it were truly a semi sequel...

I actually have that Wizard issue. Some fun stuff in there.

Yep. The beginnings of me becoming a halfass Superman historian? It all began there. Mind you, there are some myths in there ("Kryptonite was created for the radio show", "Superman started flying in the Fleischer cartoon", etc) and I think it takes an unnecessarily dim view of the Pre-Crisis era but overall it's pretty solid.

Still always fun learning of these behind the scenes info and what could have been. At the time then I was just a little kid. So I didn't know those things and pre internet going wide sprread was things I never knew for superman film development.
