50th Anniversary Celebration of Superman

 

The things you find on the internet. From 1988 a fairly wacky celebration of the 50th anniversary of Superman.  If anyone did have the powers ascribed to Superman, it would be a very good thing for them to have been raised by a nice farming couple from Kansas who could impart good values to him.

 

Bonus:

 

Ernie Pyle remembers Clark Kent.

I remember that CBS special!
The ones that get it know that Superman’s true powers aren’t in his abilities, but his heart.

I started reading Superman comics in 1961. I was 10 years old. I remember this “special.” It could have been so much better. It straddles a line between homage and camp. Why the stupid Fred Willard Deputy Mayor, the woman who describes her date with Superman while her husband looks uncomfortable, Hal Holbrook doing a Superman as Mark Twain, the dry cleaner who lost Superman suit, Al Franken as one half of a super-hero team. The whole thing held the character up for ridicule, not the icon of sacrifice and integrity he should be. DC Comics should be ashamed.
