Superman: Science Fiction or Fantasy Hero? Part 1

Is Superman more a science fiction- or fantasy-based character? Some of the background on this well-known figure may surprise you, as we take a deep dive into the archives of comic book, film and television portrayals of the Last Son of Krypton, from his origins during the buildup to World War II through Henry Cavill’s performances in Man of Steel through Justice League. We’ll take a close look at Superman’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and the influences on their art and how they brought him from a very different origin than the one we know to the hero that leaps tall buildings in a single bound. We’ll examine the character’s perennial popularity, despite many changes, what he means to modern culture, and the ways in which he draws us towards the future. Stay tuned for part 2!
