I think Disney's Hercules might be my favorite telling of the Superman story, if only for Rip Torn as Zeus/Jor-El and James Woods as the main villain. Plus I like Alan Menken's original songs a whole lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EYVepDBAC0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0lMzaljTk oshuaj fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Mar 26, 2013 |

When it comes to the establishment of the Superman identity, I'm reminded of this review for the film, which proposes a neat inversion of that expected "reveal."quote:...there are certain "essential" elements of various mythologies that must be there in order for them to be accepted as that specific mythology: Vampires must have some weakness (either to the sun, wooden stakes, or silver); zombies must crave flesh; there must be the iconic Spider-Man swinging pose; Batman's origin story must involve a scene containing the slaying of his parents, complete with Martha Wayne's pearls falling to the pavement. For Superman, I used to say that there had to be at least one scene where Clark Kent rips his shirt open revealing the iconic S shield underneath. When I screened Man of Steel the second time, I realized that I was partially wrong. The closest thing to the classic "S reveal" in this film was the first time we see Clark Kent at the daily planet. He pulls on his blazer; he straightens his tie, an then he puts on his glasses. And he does so milking as much suspense and anticipation as possible. This was the actual "hero reveal." http://miccolian-posthumanism.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-posthuman-superman-passion-of-kent.html

Costuming can't possibly communicate something to the viewer!!! It's just clothes!!!
