D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Yes, It’s Superman!

Once again, in honor of the new Man of Steel movie, we’re going to completely ignore it and focus instead on the Superman of days gone by. By the way, if you’re my age (which is to say, old) you probably think of the George Reeves portrayal as the definitive Superman.

The definitive Superman for kids in the 1940s was the Bud Collyer version, whereas people of my generation think of him as the host of To Tell The Truth. To tell the truth, there is no definitive Superman for every generation. Every generation has its own Superman to look up to. Look! Up in the sky! For today’s kids it’s Henry Cavill. Who will be the Man of Tomorrow tomorrow?

I sure don’t know, but for this Tuesday it’s George Reeves. Instead of a sing-along, why not speak along with the opening theme from Adventures of Superman? Come on, you know the words!

    What does Superman want? Sure, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way”, but what about what he wants as a person? It’s a question that comes up every Christmas for the Justice League, that everyone has a different answer for, but in Alan Moore’s story , the definitive answer is that Superman, more than anything else, doesn’t want to be Superman.
