Chroma key
Chroma key compositing (or chroma keying) is a technique for compositing two images or frames together in which a color (or a small color range) from one image is removed (or made transparent), revealing another image behind it. This technique is also referred to as color keying, colour-separation overlay (CSO; primarily by the BBC), greenscreen, and bluescreen. It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map, but in the studio it is actually a large blue or green background. The meteorologist stands in front of a bluescreen, and then different weather maps are added on those parts in the image where the color is blue. If the meteorologist wears blue clothes, their clothes will become replaced with the background video. This also works for greenscreens, since blue and green are considered the colors least like skin tone. This technique is also used in the entertainment industry, the iconic theatre shots in Mystery Science Theater 3000, for example.

Some of us are reaching for stardust
Some of us are digging for gold
But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop
When the wind reaches out for your soul
Some of us stand in the spotlight
Waiting for a round of applause
When the people go home you're left all alone
To face the sadness behind closed doors
I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me
Some of us want silver linings
To be the belle of the ball
Going down in a blaze of glory
The story means nothing at all
I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me
I don't want the stars or venus or mars
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me just want you to love me
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Ah how many brothers been charged?
Go through wires and set fires in my garage
Sabotage I'm coming to you fools in camafloughe
Gods must be crazy stole yo' style from the eighties
Lookin' at that show lady why she look like Brady?
Shady business wanna stop and look at my profile
People like me be catching girls with Kangol hats on Argyl
Styles skills I get ill everytime I rhyme
Quantum leaps stole my jeep gonna catch that fool in time
'Cause I'm Skeeter, Mr. Nine Milimeeter, with bad aim
Fame, Now I'm gonna live forever, never say die
Bronze eyed and black guy with a black eye, fat lip, wanna set trip
Dang y'all, look at my watch, I gotta shake this spot
So pow, look at this brother with stilts
Thinkin' his name was Skeeter, Mr. Nine Millimeeter
What the? holy cow
A brother hung a couple of sings from these trees
The day that I became an MC
[Chorus]
I'm your idol like Micheal, so won't you beat it
I'm deader like Shredder, I joined the Foot now I can't be defeated
Mis-treated MC's like it was the eighties
My style is tigher than a wet lycra on a two hundred and fifty pound lady
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe you should check that
Pop this in yo' tape deck, play me in yo' cassette
On Channel 7 News At 11 watch these fools get hurt
Have you more confused than a Christian reading a bible in a Muslim church
Come down to earth, now ask yourself is worth
Losing your title in a rap recitle?
I've been vital since my birth
MC's get vaided 'cause I'm over-rated
And if you laughed it, you ran
But when I blast it, you lucky you made it
I'm the most hated MC, just like the OB
You'll be outy like last year, cookin' like Gary Coleman
'Cause no man, no children or woman can get with the Super
I got the West Coast sewn up and I load up your spot trooper
And ain't no to be continuied
When I get in you get looser
Hope that you get used to losing
So shut up and start thinking
Before I leave you danglin' from my mic cords
And you hear me swingin'
[Chorus]
Put yo' gun away, Superman don't run away
See I got x-ray, I can spot you like OJ on the freeway
But anyway, we can do this all today
'Cause I embarass more people on national telivision than Richard Baye
Today's topic: "MC's who set-up for beat downs"
Sit down and tell me about your last lyrical melt-down
You come to battle you get beat like drums
And I'm a put you on the bus and send you back to where you came from
And I don't care if you don't like me now
You go home and tell your friends I'm the mighty one
AKA Skeeter, Mr. Nine Milimeeter, with bad aim
Also known as Skee-Lo, but you can call me Supreman
Super, Superman
You know they call me Superman
[Chorus]
I feel you wrap around me
Then I wake again to find
That the devil's laughing at me
Counting every single time
That I have said I love you
Ever since you went away
Then I plead a prayer to Mary
'Cause there's nothing left to say
Superman could never save me
From what I've done
Suffering my twisted head
You said you would be the one
I'll be running onI guess you didn't notice
But I was begging you to stay
The summer heat is over
But I still need your chocolate shake
I like mine thick with cherries
When I call you seem amused
You say that you still love me
But all your sweetness has been used
And I'm leaving
Girl I feel you trembling in my arms
Tell me what is wrong
I know somebody hurt you, didn't stay
And took your faith away Broke your heart, let you down
The love you thought you found
But that was then, and this is now
I gotta make you believe somehow
[Chorus]
Girl, don't be afraid to put your trust
In someone who
Who will love you, love you completely
Take the time, do it right
Make you forget those tears you cried
It'll be alright
Have no fear, your superman is here Don't let life slip by you
Give me a chance, come and take my hand
Let my love surround you, throw away
The pain of yesterday Girl you've gotta try to put the past behind
Cause now i'm in your life
It's destiny, girl can't you see
God sent you here to me
[Chorus]
You don't have to be alone no more my baby
Just try to forget about the things that made you crazy
I'll be right there when you fall
Anytime at all
[Chorus]
Subtle as a river across the desert floor
Vying for attention, getting less and wanting more
Feelin just like Dorothy, the day she fell from Oz
I traveled all this way to find out who I really was, and
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
Not at all - or do the best that 'cha can
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
After all, I'm not your superman
Just below the surface, protected from the past
Broken by your point of view, I hid behind the mask
I was near surrender, trapped in secret pride
Worried that you needed more than what I had inside, but
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
Not at all - or do the best that 'cha can
Right or wrong - accept me as I am
After all, I'm not your superman
Bottom line, gonna be fine whatever you decide
Finally, I can be me no matter what you think
Yesterday, I was afraid to really show my face
It's a new day and I said all that to say...
One night--One town
Well there's just one man
And he throws his bag down
Then he runs away
Just as fast as he can
And then he falls to the ground
And he waits....
For Superman--Here I am
Superman--Here I am
Superman--Here I am
Superman.
Another night--Another town
Well there's just one girl
She's lookin' all around
And then she cries out loud
Just as loud as she can
Then she falls to the ground
And she waits.
(Chorus)
Another night--Another town
We'll there's just one train
She's full and loaded down
She sputters once.......!
And says I think I can
(I think I can--I think I can--I think I can--I think I can)
And as they slide down the hill
Well they wait
(Chorus-Chorus)
Out the door
Just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 am
The phone rings in the car
The wife is workin hard
She runnin late tonight again
Well I know what I've been told
U gotta work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No I know
I'm no superman
I'm no superman
And you've got your love online
U think you're doin fine
But you're just plugged into the wall
And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get u very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall
Well I know what I've been told
U gotta know just when to fold,
But I can't do this all on my own
No I know
I'm no superman
I'm no superman
You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all?
I need u here with me
Cause love is all we need,
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall
Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
No I know
That I'm no
Superman
I'm no superman
I'm no superman
(Some day well be together)
I'm no superman
(Some day)
(Someday well be together)
(Someday)
I'm no superman
Thank you God
For this great opportunity
To Share with you exactly how I feel
I'm not well
And I Think that I should tell you
That I got the raw end of the deal
Don't get me wrong
'Cause it's not like I blame you
But sometimes things get crazy on their own
I'm ashamed
Of the way I point my finger
'Cause deep down I have reaped what I have sown
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my reguards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
Such is life, Lord
And I know that you're aware
That you're a drug to me
A drug, within my fear
But, I Love you
A junkie to your silence
A wise man who's words, I'll never hear
What to do
I feel as if I'm floating
Not aware or in control of what I am
God bless me
Take me out of this existence
End my role as the sacrificial lamb
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my reguards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
...I'll just stand and stare...
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my reguards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
Life is hard
But so is everything
Give my reguards to a man who cares
If I succeed
I will save my fellow man
And if I fail I'll just stand and stare
...I'll just stand and stare...

Oh, I can't live without her love. No.
I stop me a freight train. I fly high like a jet plane
Just so I can get to her.
She's my lady. I'm thinkin' maybe

To show that I love her. I really need her.
I wanna be her Superman!
Cuz she's my lady. I'm thinkin' maybe

Oh, I stop me a freight train. I fly high like a jet plane,

hey superman
where did you go
now that the lights have gone low
(Butch Walker and Chrystina Lloree)
Make no mistake, I¡¯ve spent hours and days,
Just to find whose responsible for this mess.
I¡¯ve walked around for hours, getting¡¯ bitten¡¯ by the spiders.
And the snakes are crawlin¡¯ over my chest.
On the front lawns of America the papers they all read,
Gas prices are rising high and Superman is dead.
As I opened the door and looked at my mother,
Even Stovetop stuffing ain¡¯t gonna change my mind.
I¡¯ll talk to you tomorrow or maybe next Sunday depending on what I find.
On the front lawns of America the papers they all read,
Your kids are on heroin and Superman is dead.
Maybe it¡¯s time I start looking for another.
And pretend a new hero is always going to save the day.
So when I feel like I¡¯m falling off another tall building,
There¡¯ll be someone there to catch me faster than a speeding train.
On the front lawn of America the papers they all read,
California is sinking and Superman is dead.
On the front lawns of America the papers they all read,
The psychic network is saving our souls and Superman is dead.
On the front lawns of America the papers they all read,
Your kids are on heroin and Superman is dead.
So here I am
doing everything I can
holding on to what I am
pretending I'm a superman
I'm trying to keep
the ground on my feet
it seems the world's
falling down around me
the nights are all long
I'm singing this song
to try and make the answers
more than maybe
and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want
to throw it all away
so here I am
growing older all the time
looking older all the time
feeling younger in my mind
I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of the sheep
my mind is racing faster
every minute
what could I do more
yeah I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles
but I can't quit
and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want to
throw it all away
controlling everything in site
I'm feeling weak
I don't feel right
you're telling me
I have to change
telling me to act my age
but if all that I can do
is just sit and watch time go
then I'll have to say good bye
life's too short to watch it fly
watch it fly
Superman superman superman
And there you go pickin' on me again pushin' me to the very end
Tellin' me to move another mountain
Well just cause you can walk on water that ain't no sign I can
You know your mama should have named you Superman
Superman superman superman
Now let's go through this one more time you do your thing and I'll do mine
But honey baby we gotta draw the line your hang up is messin' with mine
All I can do is the best I can to change the way that you can't stand
If it ain't good enough for supermn it ain't good enough for me
Superman superman superman
So you don't have to rub it in just because you're right and I'm wrong again
Sometimes right is just as wrong as wrong is
And I ain't never gonna learn how to make it rain
And I wouldn't if I could for all the rain in Spain
But you go right ahead and do it do it Superman
Superman superman superman
Yeah let's go through this one more time...
Yeah let's go through this one more time...

Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I've never felt the same
But I am not a bird
And I am not a plane
I'm Superman
When you love me it's easy
I can do most anything
Watch me turn around
One wing up and one wing down
I never thought I would
Fall in love for good
I'm Superman
When you love me its easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love each time, I know I'll have it,
Fell into my life so I grabbed it,
There's nothing I can't do
When I'm with you
I'm Superman
Cause I knew it's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love each time and I know I'll have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can't do
Cause I'm with you
I'm Superman.
I would like to see
Differently
I would like to walk
Like I talk
Would like to breathe
The air that I need
Would like some bread
Although I've just been fed
I wish that I could stop
Playing superman
I have decided to let the case drop
I'm not superman
With my hands I can do
Fake food
With my hands I can drown
All your sounds
With my hands I sometimes think
That I can do
Just like You
With my hands I can make
Mistakes
crucified
for eternal sins
re-invent myself
shape my alter skin
try to break the mold
severed hold
first you find your threshold bevels
breathing out your toxic levels
lung so rope is hangin
now we know what's comin
oh superman
where have you gone
with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound
been playing tricks you know
she got sucked so dry
we destroy ourselves
to rise again
open up yourself
like a jesus son
only way out is through
way past you
first you get to human levels
run right through your bullshit pedals
lung so rope is hanging
now we know what's coming
oh superman
where have you gone
with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound
just a little more sound
been playing tricks you know
he got sucked so dry and you oughta know how to lose
lung so rope is hanging
oh superman
what have you done
with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound
just a little more sound
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird¡I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd¡but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed¡but won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away¡away from me
It's all right¡You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy¡or anything¡
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me.
[Verse 1]
You're my super hero ooh you rock my world
If you show me how I can be your super girl
Give you super super love Cause you're super super hot
Give you more than a little bit Give you everything I've got
Do you think of me Like I think of you
Hoping that what I feel is what you're feeling too
I want too go through a few ways to describe
just what's in my heart
There is no height that I won't climb
There is no light that I won't shine
There is no time that I won't find
And I'm so glad I found the time tonight
[Chorus]
There is no other place that I'd rather be
There is no other face that I'd rather see
The way that you do me is somethin like a movie
Waking up to you is just like waking up to
Superman
It's a bird it's a plane it's
Superman
I can be your Lois Lane
Superman
There aint nothing you can't do
I Just want to be with you
And I hope you feel it too You're my
Superman
[Verse 2]
It's beating in my heart, It's the shaking in my soul
Everytime I touch you baby I go
It's the power of you're love, It's the passion in your kiss
That I'm always lookin for
There aint no sea that I won't swim
There aint no void that I can't fill
And There's no time that I won't find
and I'm glad I found the time tonight
[Chorus]
There is no other place that I'd rather be
There is no other face that I'd rather see
The way that you do me is somethin like a movie
Waking up to you is just like waking up to
Superman
It's a bird it's a plane it's
Superman

Superman
There aint nothing you can't do

[Bridge]
Let me touch the sky Please don't hit the breaks
Fly me to the moon I want to see heavens gates
I want to feel what it's like to be with superman
I'll stay by your side an if you take my hand
Then there's no dreams that we can't see
And there's no thing that we can't be
And there's no time that I won't find
and I'm so glad that I found the time tonight
[Chorus]
There is no other place that I'd rather be T
here is no other face that I'd rather see
The way that you do me is somethin like a movie

Superman
There aint nothing you can't do
I Just want to be with you
And I hope you feel it too You're my
Superman
You've been on my mind and I don't think I have the time
To listen to your voice
I've heard it all before, it's been seeping through the floor
Shut behind closed doors
But I can see right through you now
The beneficial lies are told to keep us with closed eyes
Shading what's in store
I guess it's up to me to find the luck and turn the key
And open up these doors but I can see right through you now....
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day
Well you've been on my mind and I don't think I have the time
To listen to your voice
I've heard it all before, it's been seeping through the floor
Shut behind closed doors
But I can see right through you now
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day
I don't want to follow
You can't make me follow
I don't want to follow
You cant make me follow now
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day
Ah yeah I'm superman
A three-piece suit and master plan
Here I come to save the day

Until the day of my death to my very last breath
I'm gonna love you when no ones left
Come fly with me baby
Yeah I'm the one
With the S on my chest
Forget about your ex
He don't know what love is
He just failed the test
Plus he don't treat you right
He keeps you crying all night
See, hes like your kryptonite
I came to give you their strength
So you can leave him behind
You can start all over
Just press rewind
Cause he don't understand that you're one of a kind
So sweet, so sexy and just so fine
I will fight to my death just to make you mine
I will never neglect you
Never have time to stress you
And always respect you
Girl you like a hidden treasure
And I promise to love you
From now until forever
OOO para siempra mija
Te prometo Te voy amar
Hasta la muerte
[Chorus]
I'm the type of guy
That will stand by your side
To wipe them tears when they fall from your eyes
I'm the one you hold when your nights is cold
The one that stays near to fight away your fears
You aint gotta be scared
See I put an end to your ex
No more beating you up (nuh uh)
Or pulling on your hair
See I came to save the day
A man like that should'nt treat you that way
And I don't understand why'd you take that route?
Look at yourself
Your beautiful inside and out
You need to drop that zero (uhh)
Let me swoop you off your feet
Cause I can be your superhero
Do you follow my lead?
I guarantee you baby
I'm all that you need
See, you can change your plans
All you got to do is call on me and I can be your superman
[Girl:]
Will you be by my side for the rest of my life?
For the rest of my life
Will you love me till I die?
[Chorus]
[Girl:]
No ones left
Till no ones left
Till no ones left
Gonna love you
Gonna love you
My superman
My superman
Verse 1:
I've got an ex boy friend that calls me up to blame me for his life
I get bunches of roses from another guy and hate mail from his wife
I date a stupid jerk who forgets my name likes to make love watching T.V.
And some guy calls in the middle of the night just so i can hear him breathe
Chorus:
Lucky Me
Lucky. Lucky Me
I have everything in this whole wide world a girl could ever need
Lucky Me
Verse 2:
I've got a great car, its a red convertable made by mattel
I've got a nice house in the suburbs
Withs hell's angels for neighbours aswell
Got a scolloship for a hundred years of collage if i want to study detistry
But my folks just want me married and poping out the grand kids to keep them company
Corus:
Lucky Me
Lucky. Lucky Me
I have everything in this whole wide world a girl could ever need
Lucky Me
Lucky Me
Lucky. Lucky little ol' me
I have everything in this whole wide world a girl could ever need
Lucky Me
Verse 3:
Think I'll run and join the Hare Krishna
Give up all my worldly goods, cut off all my hair
Cos nothing that I have right no brings me any joy
And when I'm shopping at the mall can't find it anywhere
But I've got my Tamagotchi
And I've got my wrist watch phone
I've got so many friends on the internet i could never be alone
I've got just enough cash to pay a lot of tax
But enough to quit my job
Got a fool's gold ring, credit card debt
Psychiatrist for my dog
Chorus:

Tall dark and superman
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
Its the same thing to me
Hes got his mothers eyes his fathers ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
And I know every word that you say, yay
You smile and say how are you
I say just fine
I always forget to tell you, I love you, I love you ... forever
I watched superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
To save the world ill be around
I watched superman fly away
Come back ill deal with you someday
Ill be right here on the ground
When you come back down
Talk dark and beautiful
Hes complicated hes irrational
But I hope someday you take me away and save the day, yeeeeahhh
Something in his deep browns eyes has me sing
Hes not as bad like this, reputation
I can't hear one single word they said, noooooo
You really got places to be and I'll be old then
I always forget to tell you I love you I loved you from the very first day
I watched superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
To save the world ill be around
I watched superman fly away
Come back ill deal with you someday
Ill be right here on the ground
When you come back down
And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope your texting some other girl
I hope you don't forget about me
I'm far away but I'll never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget don't forget where ill be
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the card was from you
Cuz I loved you from the very first day
I watched superman fly away
You've got a busy day today to save the world
Ill be around forever and ever here
I watched superman fly away
I swear ill be with you someday
Ill be right here on the ground
When you come back down
La, la, la
When you come back down
I've been heading in the wrong direction
Hiding from my own protection
Running but my heart was standing still
I guess you saw the light inside me
Your love has been a torch to guide me
I hope I can be all that you deserve
[Chorus]
Well I'm no superman
But I'll love you that best I can
And you know I'm just flesh and bones, but with you
I feel I'm flying
Don't you know I'm no superman
But I'll always be your man
I was searching for a heart that's beating
As fast as the way I'm feeling
Trying to find some peace there in my soul
You know it was your love that saved me
The answer to my prayers you gave me
And I hope I'll be all you deserve
[Repeat chorus]
I'd fight for you
I'd die for you
You know I would
Hold back the night, light up the sky
Oh if I could, I'll always be your man...yeah
[Repeat chorus]
Woke up this morning, started to sneeze
I had a cigarette and a cup of tea
I looked in the mirror what did I see
A nine stone weakling with knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I had another sneeze and I blew my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had to put on my clothes because it made me depressed
Surely there must be a way
For me to change the shape I’m in
Dissatisfied is what I am
I want to be a better man
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman I want to be like superman
I want to be like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Woke up this morning, what did I see
A big black cloud hanging over me
I switched on the radio and nearly dropped dead
The news was so bad that I fell out of bed
There was a gas strike, oil strike, lorry strike, bread strike
Got to be a superman to survive
Gas bills, rent bills, tax bills, phone bills
I’m such a wreck but I’m staying alive
[look in the paper, what do I see,
Robbery, violence, insanity.]
Hey girl we’ve got to get out of this place
There’s got to be something better than this
I need you, but I hate to see you this way
If I were superman then we’d fly away
I’d really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it’s in
I’m too weak, I’m so thin
I’d like to fly but I can’t even swim
Superman superman I want to fly like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman wish I could fly like superman
Superman superman I want to be like superman
Superman superman I want to fly like superman

You'll Believe a Man Can Fly, Richard Donner's cinematic realisation of the classic DC comic book hero, Superman, was indeed convincing and groundbreaking in its day. DC comics was a subsidiary of Warner Bros. It took father and son producers Ilya and Alexander Salkind to see its potential and start the ball rolling, overseeing not just one movie, but also its sequel, to be filmed simultaneously. As long as this was a real movie, and not just corny or camp, it could really work, and it certainly seemed that it was going to fill that criteria. With stars of the time such as Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman on board, and a masterful screenplay by Godfather creator Mario Puzo, with redrafts by Bonnie and Clyde writers Robert Benton and David Newman it was set for a green light. British James Bond director Guy Hamilton was eventually signed to direct. It was when the Salkind's decided to film in Britain to save money that Hamilton, a UK tax exile, had to pull out, and the producers approached Omen director Richard Donner. By this time, no fewer than six million dollars had already been spent on the preproduction. It wasn't until Donner discarded the idea of a star in the main role. He thought that a newcomer would be more effective as the man of steel, and more believable. The actor required had to have duel qualities, as he would have to bring to life not just the confidence and strength of the man of steel, but also the mild mannered and bumbling muppetry of Clark Kent.

Superman (also known as Superman: The Movie) is a 1978[1][2] superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Richard Donner directed the film, which stars Christopher Reeve as Superman, as well as Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Valerie Perrine and Ned Beatty. The film depicts the origin of Superman, including his infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and his youthful years in the rural town of Smallville. Disguised as reporter Clark Kent, he adopts a mild-mannered attitude in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane, while battling the villainous Lex Luthor.
The film was conceived in 1973 by Ilya Salkind. Several directors, most notably Guy Hamilton, and screenwriters (Mario Puzo, David and Leslie Newman and Robert Benton) were associated with the project before Donner was hired to direct. Donner brought Tom Mankiewicz to rewrite the script, feeling it was too campy. Mankiewicz was credited as creative consultant. It was decided to film both Superman and Superman II simultaneously.
Principal photography started in March 1977 and ended in October 1978. Tensions rose between Donner and the producers, and a decision was made to stop filming Superman II and finish the first film. Donner had already shot 75%[3] of the planned sequel, eventually giving birth to Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut. Superman was released with critical acclaim and financial success. Reviewers noted parallels between the film's depiction of Superman and Jesus and particularly praised Reeve's performance.[4] The film's legacy helped to foster the establishment of the superhero film genre.

Plot[link]
On the planet Krypton, using evidence provided by scientist Jor-El, the Ruling Council sentences three attempted insurrectionists, General Zod, Ursa and Non, to "eternal living death" in the Phantom Zone. Despite his eminence, Jor-El is unable to convince the Council of his belief that Krypton will soon explode. To save his infant son Kal-El, Jor-El launches a spacecraft containing the child towards Earth, a distant planet with a suitable atmosphere, and where Kal-El's dense molecular structure will give him superhuman powers. Shortly after the launch, Krypton is destroyed.
Three years later the ship lands near an American farming town, Smallville, where Kal-El is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent and raised as their own son, Clark. At age 18, soon after the death of Jonathan, Clark hears a psychic "call", discovering a glowing green crystal in the ship. It compels him to travel to the Arctic, where the crystal builds the Fortress of Solitude, resembling the architecture of Krypton. Inside, a vision of Jor-El explains Clark's origins, educating him in powers and responsibilities. After 12 years, with his powers fully developed, Clark leaves the Fortress with a colorful costume and becomes a reporter at the Daily Planet in Metropolis. He meets and develops a romantic attraction to coworker Lois Lane, but she sees him as awkward and unsophisticated.
Lois becomes involved in a helicopter accident where conventional means of rescue are impossible, requiring Clark to use his powers in public for the first time to save her. The rescue of Air Force One and other good deeds make the mysterious "caped wonder" a celebrity. The hero visits Lois at home, takes her for a flight over the city, and allows her to interview him for an article in which she names him "Superman." Meanwhile, criminal genius Lex Luthor has developed a cunning plan to make a fortune in real estate by buying large amounts of barren desert land and then diverting a nuclear missile test flight to the San Andreas Fault. The missile will sink California and leave Luthor's desert as the new West Coast of the United States, greatly increasing its value.
After his incompetent henchman Otis accidentally redirects the first rocket to the wrong place, Luthor's girlfriend Eve Teschmacher successfully changes the course of a second missile. Knowing Superman could stop his plan, Luthor lures him to his underground lair and exposes him to Kryptonite. As Superman weakens, Luthor taunts him by revealing that the first missile is headed to Hackensack, New Jersey, in the opposite direction, knowing that Superman cannot stop both impacts. Teschmacher is horrified because her mother lives in Hackensack, but Luthor does not care and leaves Superman to a slow death. Teschmacher rescues Superman on the condition that he will deal with the New Jersey missile first. He is thus too late to stop the second impact, causing a massive earthquake which he battles to correct.
While Superman is busy saving others, Lois's car falls into the ground due to an aftershock. It quickly fills with dirt and debris and she suffocates to death. Distraught at being unable to save Lois, Superman ignores Jor-El's warning not to interfere with human history, preferring to remember Jonathan Kent's advice that he must be on Earth for "a reason". He travels back in time in order to save Lois, altering history so that her car is never caught in the aftershock. Superman then delivers Luthor and Otis to prison and flies into the sunrise for further adventures.

- Trevor Howard as the First Elder: Head of the Kryptonian Council, who does not believe Jor-El's claim that Krypton is doomed to its own destruction. He threatens Jor-El, "Any attempt by you to create a climate of fear and panic amongst the populace must be deemed by us an act of insurrection."
- Margot Kidder as Lois Lane: A reporter at the Daily Planet who becomes a romantic interest for Clark Kent. She is madly in love with Superman and often ignores Clark. Over 100 actresses were considered for the role. Margot Kidder (suggested by Stalmaster), Anne Archer, Susan Blakely, Lesley Ann Warren, Deborah Raffin and Stockard Channing screen tested throughout March through May 1977. The final decision was between Channing and Kidder, with Kidder winning the role.[8][9]

Kirk Alyn and Noel Neill have cameo appearances as Lois Lane's father and mother. Alyn and Neill portrayed Superman and Lois Lane in the film serials Superman (1948) and Atom Man vs. Superman (1950), and were the first actors to portray the characters onscreen in a live-action format. Neill reprised her role in the 1950s Adventures of Superman TV series, and also appeared as Lex Luthor's elderly wife in the opening scene of the film Superman Returns (2006).
Larry Hagman and Rex Reed also cameo. Two unknowns also have cameos, Edward Finneran and Tim Hussey, who were the teenage boys who won "The Great Superman Movie Contest", appearing as football players (in gray) during the scene with Clark as the equipment manager of the Smallville football team. David Petrou, the author of the making-of book about the movie also appears briefly in that scene.
Production[link]
Development[link]
Ilya Salkind had first conceived the idea for a Superman film in late 1973.[12] In November 1974, after a long difficult process with DC Comics, the Superman film rights were purchased by Ilya, his father Alexander Salkind, and their partner Pierre Spengler. DC wanted a list of actors that were to be considered for Superman, and approved the producer's choices of Muhammad Ali, Al Pacino, James Caan, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman.[10] The filmmakers felt it was best to film Superman and Superman II back-to-back, simultaneously, and to make a negative pickup deal with Warner Bros.[8] William Goldman was approached to write the screenplay, while Leigh Brackett was considered. Ilya hired Alfred Bester, who began writing a film treatment. Alexander felt, however, that Bester was not famous enough, and so hired Mario Puzo (The Godfather) to write the screenplay at a $600,000 salary.[13][14] Francis Ford Coppola, William Friedkin, Richard Lester, Peter Yates, John Guillermin, Ronald Neame and Sam Peckinpah were in negotiations to direct. Peckinpah dropped out when he produced a gun during a meeting with Ilya. George Lucas turned down the offer because of his commitment to Star Wars.[7][12]
Ilya wanted to hire Steven Spielberg to direct, but Alexander was skeptical, feeling it was best to "wait until [Spielberg's] big fish opens". Jaws was very successful, prompting the producers to offer Spielberg the position, but by then Spielberg had already committed to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.[12] Guy Hamilton was hired as director, while Puzo delivered his 500-page script for Superman and Superman II in July 1975.[8] Jax-Ur appeared as one of General Zod's henchman, with Clark Kent written as a television reporter. Dustin Hoffman, who was previously considered for Superman, turned down Lex Luthor.[10][13]
In early 1975, Brando signed on as Jor-El with a salary of $3.7 million and 11.75% of the box office gross profits, totaling $19 million. He horrified Salkind by proposing in their first meeting that Jor-El appear as a suitcase or a green bagel with Brando's voice, but Donner used flattery to persuade the actor to portray Jor-El himself.[12] Brando hoped to use some of his salary for a proposed 13-part Roots-style miniseries on Native Americans in the United States.[15] Brando had it in his contract to complete all of his scenes in 12 days. He also refused to memorize his dialog, so cue cards were compiled across the set. Fellow Oscar winner Hackman was cast as Lex Luthor days later. The filmmakers made it a priority to shoot all of Brando and Hackman's footage "because they would be committed to other films immediately".[8][12] Though the Salkinds felt that Puzo had written a solid story for the two-part film, they deemed his scripts too long and so hired Robert Benton and David Newman for rewrite work. Benton became too busy directing The Late Show and David's wife Leslie was brought in to help her husband finish writing duties.[7]
Their script was submitted in July 1976,[8] and carried a camp tone, including a cameo appearance by Telly Savalas as his Kojak character. The scripts for Superman and Superman II were now at over 400-pages combined.[5][16] Pre-production started in Rome, with sets starting construction and flying tests being unsuccessfully experimented. "In Italy," producer Ilya Salkind remembered, "we lost about $2 million [on flying tests]."[12] Marlon Brando found out he couldn't film in Italy because of a warrant out for his arrest, a sexual obscenity charge from Last Tango in Paris. Production moved to England in late-1976, but Hamilton could not join because he was a tax exile.[16]
Mark Robson was strongly considered in talks to direct, but after seeing The Omen, the producers hired Richard Donner. Donner had previously been planning Damien: Omen II when he was hired in January 1977 for $1 million to direct Superman and Superman II.[17] Donner felt it was best to start from scratch. "They had prepared the picture for a year and not one bit was useful to me."[17] Donner was dissatisfied with the campy script and brought Tom Mankiewicz to perform a rewrite. According to Mankiewicz "not a word from the Puzo script was used".[16] "It was a well-written, but still a ridiculous script. It was 550 pages. I said, 'You can't shoot this screenplay because you'll be shooting for five years'," Donner continued. "That was literally a shooting script and they planned to shoot all 550 pages. You know, 110 pages is plenty for a script, so even for two features, that was way too much."[18] Mankiewicz conceived having each Kryptonian family wear a crest resembling a different letter, justifying the 'S' on Superman's costume.[17] The Writers Guild of America refused to credit Mankiewicz for his rewrites, so Donner gave him a creative consultant credit, much to the annoyance of the Guild.[17]
Casting of Superman[link]
It was initially decided to first sign an A-list actor for Superman before Richard Donner was hired as director. Robert Redford was offered a large sum, but felt he was too famous. Burt Reynolds also turned down the role, while Sylvester Stallone was interested, but nothing ever came of it. Paul Newman was offered his choosing as Superman, Lex Luthor or Jor-El for $4 million, turning down all three roles.[7] When it was next decided to cast an unknown actor, casting director Lynn Stalmaster first suggested Christopher Reeve, but Donner and the producers felt he was too young and skinny.[8] Over 200 unknown actors auditioned for Superman.[19] Olympic champion Bruce Jenner had auditioned for the title role,[7] while Patrick Wayne was cast, but dropped out when his father was diagnosed with stomach cancer, from which he died months after the film's 1979 release.[17] Both Neil Diamond and Arnold Schwarzenegger lobbied hard for the role, but were ignored. James Caan, James Brolin, Lyle Waggoner, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Jon Voight, and Perry King were approached.[7][12] Kris Kristofferson and Charles Bronson were also considered for the title role.[20]"We found guys with fabulous physique who couldn't act or wonderful actors who did not look remotely like Superman," creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz remembered. The search became so desperate that producer Ilya Salkind's wife's dentist was screen tested.[7][12]
Stalmaster convinced Donner and Ilya to have Reeve screen test in February 1977. Reeve stunned the director and producers, but he was told to wear a "muscle suit" to produce the desired muscular physique. Reeve refused,[9][21] undertaking a strict physical exercise regime headed by David Prowse. Prowse had wanted to portray Superman, but was denied an audition by the filmmakers because he was not American. Prowse also auditioned for Non. Reeve went from 170 to 212 pounds during pre-production and filming.[22] Many have felt Reeve was typecast in the role during his career. However, Reeve felt, "'Superman' brought me many opportunities, rather than closing a door in my face."[23] Jeff East portrays teenage Clark Kent. East had his voice overdubbed by Reeve. "I was not happy about it because the producers never told me what they had in mind," East commented. "It was done without my permission but it turned out to be okay. Chris did a good job but it caused tension between us. We resolved our issues with each other years later."[11] East also tore several thigh muscles when performing the stunt of racing alongside the train. He applied 3 to 4 hours of prosthetic makeup daily to facially resemble Reeve.[11]
Filming[link]
Principal photography began on March 24, 1977 at Pinewood Studios for Krypton scenes, budgeted as the most expensive film ever made at that point. Since Superman was being shot simultaneously with Superman II, filming lasted for 19 months, until October 1978. Filming was originally scheduled to last between seven and eight months, but problems rose during production. John Barry served as production designer, while Stuart Craig and Norman Reynolds worked as art directors. Derek Meddings and Les Bowie were credited as visual effects supervisors. Stuart Freeborn was the make-up artist, while Barry, David Tomblin, John Glen, David Lane and Robert Lynn directed second unit scenes. Vic Armstrong was hired as the stunt coordinator and Reeve's stunt double, his wife Wendy Leech was Kidder's double. Superman was also the final complete film by cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth, who died during post-production while working on Tess for director Roman Polanski. The Fortress of Solitude was constructed at Shepperton Studios and at Pinewood's 007 Stage.[24][25] Upon viewing the footage of Krypton, Warner Bros. decided to distribute in not only North America, but also in foreign countries. Due to complications and problems during filming, Warner Bros. also supplied $20 million and acquired television rights.[14][24]
New York City doubled for Metropolis, while the New York Daily News Building served as the location for the offices of the Daily Planet. Brooklyn Heights was also used.[26] Filming in New York lasted five weeks, during the time of the New York City blackout of 1977. Production moved to Alberta, Canada for scenes set in Smallville, with the cemetery scene filmed in the canyon of Beynon, Alberta, the high school football scenes at Barons, Alberta, and the Kent farm constructed at Blackie, Alberta.[27] Brief filming also took place in Gallup, New Mexico, Lake Mead and Grand Central Terminal.[4] Director Donner had tensions with the Salkinds and Spengler concerning the escalating production budget and the shooting schedule. Creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz reflected, "Donner never got a budget or a schedule. He was constantly told he was way over schedule and budget. At one point he said, 'Why don't you just schedule the film for the next two days, and then I'll be nine months over?'."[24] Richard Lester, who worked with the Salkinds on The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, was then brought in as a temporary co-producer to mediate the relationship between Donner and the Salkinds,[12] who by now were refusing to talk to each other.[24] With his relationship with Spengler, Donner remarked, "At one time if I'd seen him, I would have killed him."[14]
Lester was offered producing credit but refused, going uncredited for his work.[24] Salkind felt that bringing a second director onto the set meant there would be someone ready in the event that Donner couldn't fulfill his directing duties. "Being there all the time meant he [Lester] could take over," Salkind admitted. "[Donner] couldn't make up his mind on stuff."[12] On Lester, Donner reflected, "He'd been suing the Salkinds for his money on Three and Four Musketeers, which he'd never gotten. He won a lot of his lawsuits, but each time he sued the Salkinds in one country, they'd move to another, from Costa Rica to Panama to Switzerland. When I was hired, Lester told me, 'Don't do it. Don't work for them. I was told not to, but I did it. Now I'm telling you not to, but you'll probably do it and end up telling the next guy.' Lester came in as a 'go-between'. I didn't trust Lester, and I told him. He said, 'Believe me, I'm only doing it because they're paying me the money that they owe me from the lawsuit. I'll never come onto your set unless you ask me; I'll never go to your dailies. If I can help you in any way, call me."[18]
It was decided to stop shooting Superman II and focus on finishing Superman. Donner had already completed 80% of the sequel.[28] The filmmakers took a risk: if Superman was a box office bomb, they would not finish Superman II. The original climax for Superman II had General Zod, Ursa and Non destroying the planet, with Superman time traveling to fix the damage.[7] In the original ending for Superman, the nuclear missile that Superman pushed into outer space happens to strike the Phantom Zone, freeing the three Kryptonian supervillains. The final shot was originally going to be General Zod, Non, and Ursa all flying towards earth, in an ominous sequel hook moment. The sequence can be seen in its entirety at the beginning of Donner's edit of Superman II where it was fully restored.
Donner commented, "I decided if Superman is a success, they're going to do a sequel. If it ain't a success, a cliffhanger ain't gonna bring them to see Superman II."[17]
Effects[link]
Publicity still emulating screen shot.

Superman is well known for its large-scale visual effects sequences, all of which were created before the digital age. The Golden Gate Bridge scale model stood 70 feet long and 20 feet wide. Other miniatures included the Krypton Council Dome and the Hoover Dam. Slow motion was used to simulate the vast amount of water for the Hoover Dam destruction. The Fortress of Solitude was a combination of a full-scale set and matte paintings. Young Clark Kent's long-distance football punt was executed with a wooden football loaded into an air blaster placed in the ground. The Superman costume was to be a much darker blue, but the use of blue screen made it transparent.[29]
The first test for the flying sequences involved simply catapulting a crash test dummy out of a cannon. Another technique had a remote control cast of Superman flying around. Both were discarded due to lack of movement. High quality, realistic-looking animation was tried, with speed trails added to make the effect more convincing.
As detailed in the Superman: The Movie DVD special effects documentary 'The Magic Behind The Cape', presented by optical effects supervisor Roy Field, in the end, three techniques were used to achieve the flying effects.
For landings and take-offs, wire flying riggings were devised and used. On location, these were suspended from tower cranes, whereas in the studio elaborate rigs were suspended from the studio ceilings. Some of the wire-flying work was quite audacious considering computer controlled rigs were not then available — the penultimate shot where Superman flies out of the prison yard for example. Although stuntmen were used, Reeve did much of the work himself, and was suspended as high as 50 ft in the air. Counterweights and pulleys were typically used to achieve flying movement rather than electronic or motorized devices.
For shots where the camera is stationary and Superman is seen flying towards or away from the camera in the frame, blue screen matte shots were used. Reeve would be photographed against a blue screen. While a special device made his cape flap to give the illusion of movement, the actor himself would remain stationary. Instead, the camera would use a mixture of long zoom-ins and zoom-outs to cause him to become larger or smaller in the frame. The blue background would then be photochemically removed and Reeve's isolated image would then be 'inserted' in to a matted area of a background plate shot. The zoom-ins or zoom-outs would give the appearance of flying away or towards the contents of the background plate. The disparity in lighting and colour between the matted image and the background plate, the occasional presence of black matte lines (where the matte area and the matted image — in the case Superman — don't exactly match-up) and the slightly unconvincing impression of movement achieved through the use of long zoom lenses is characteristic of these shots.
For shots where the camera is tracking with Superman as he flies (such as in the Superman and Lois Metropolis flying sequence) front projection was used. This involved photographing the actors suspended in front of a background image dimly projected from the front on to a special screen made by 3M that would reflect light back at many times the original intensity directly in to a combined camera/projector. The result was a very clear and intense photographic reproduction of both the actors and the background plate with far less of the image deterioration or lighting problems than occur with rear projection.
A technique was developed that combined the front projection effect with specially designed zoom lenses.[29] The illusion of movement was created by zooming in on Reeve while making the front projected image appear to recede. For scenes where Superman interacts with other people or objects while in flight, Reeve and actors were put in a variety of rigging equipment with careful lighting and photography.[29] This also led to the creation of the Zoptic system.[30]
The highly reflective costumes worn by the Kryptonians were the result of an accident during Superman flying tests. "We noticed the material lit up on its own," Donner explained. "We tore the material into tiny pieces and glued it on the costumes, designing a front projection effect for each camera. There was a little light on each camera, and it would project into a mirror, bounce out in front of the lens, hit the costume, [and] millions of little glass heads would light up and bring the image back into the camera."[17]
Music[link]
Jerry Goldsmith, who scored Donner's The Omen, was originally set to compose Superman. Portions of Goldsmith's work from Capricorn One were used in Superman's teaser trailer. He dropped out over scheduling conflicts and John Williams was hired. Williams conducted the London Symphony Orchestra to record the soundtrack.[31] The music was one of the last pieces to come into place. Williams liked that the film did not take itself too seriously and that it had a theatrical camp feel to it.[7] Kidder was supposed to sing "Can You Read My Mind?," the lyrics to which were written by Leslie Bricusse, but Donner disliked it and changed it to a composition accompanied by a voiceover.[4] Maureen McGovern eventually recorded the single, "Can You Read My Mind?," in 1979, although the song did not appear on the film soundtrack. It became a mid-chart hit on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.
Themes[link]

| "You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you, even in the face of our deaths. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel—all this and more I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, the father the son. This is all I can send you, Kal-El." |
| — Jor-El |
Superman is divided into three basic sections, each having a distinct theme and visual style. The first segment, set on Krypton, is meant to be typical of science fiction films, but also lays the groundwork foranalogy that emerges in the relationship between Jor-El and Kal-El. The second segment, set in Smallville, is reminiscent of 1950s films, and its small-town atmosphere is meant to evoke a Norman Rockwell painting. The third (and largest) segment was an attempt to present the superhero story with as much realism as possible (what Donner called "verisimilitude"), relying on traditional cinematic drama and using only subtle humor instead of a campy approach.[4]
Donner, Tom Mankiewicz and Ilya Salkind have commented on the use of Christian references to discuss the themes of Superman.[4][7] Mankiewicz deliberately fostered analogies with Jor-El (God) and Kal-El (Jesus).[16] Donner is somewhat skeptical of Mankiewicz' actions, joking "I got enough death threats because of that."[4]
Several concepts and items of imagery have been used in Biblical comparisons. Jor-El casts out General Zod from Krypton, a parallel to the casting out of Satan from Heaven.[4] The spacecraft that brings Kal-El to Earth is in the form of a star (Star of Bethlehem). Kal-El comes to Jonathan and Martha Kent, who are unable to have children. Martha Kent states, "All these years how we've prayed and prayed that the good Lord would see fit to give us a child," which was compared to the Virgin Mary.[4]
Just as little is known about Jesus during his middle years, Clark travels into the wilderness to find out who he is and what he has to do. Jor-El says, "Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and power are needed. But always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a , I have sent them you..... my only son."[4] The theme resembles the Biblical account of God sending his only son Jesus to Earth in hope for the good of mankind. More were seen when Donner was able to complete Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, featuring the fall, resurrection and his battle with evil. Another vision was that of The Creation of Adam.[4]
The Christian imagery in the Reeve films has provoked comment on the Jewish origins of Superman. Rabbi Simcha Weinstein's book Up, Up and Oy Vey: How Jewish History, Culture and Values Shaped the Comic Book Superhero, says that Superman is both a pillar of society and one whose cape conceals a "nebbish", saying "He's a bumbling, nebbish Jewish stereotype. He's Woody Allen."[32][33] Ironically, it is also in the Reeve films that Clark Kent's persona has the greatest resemblance to Woody Allen, though his conscious model was Cary Grant's character in Bringing up Baby. This same theme is pursued about 1940s superheroes generally in Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero by Danny Fingeroth.[32][33]
In the scene where Lois Lane interviews Superman on the balcony, Superman replies, "I never lie." Salkind felt this was an important point in the film, since Superman, living under his secret identity as Clark Kent, is "telling the biggest lie of all time." His romance with Lois also leads him to contradict Jor-El's orders to avoid altering human history, time traveling to save her from dying. Superman instead takes the advice of Jonathan Kent, his father on Earth.[7]
Release[link]
Superman was originally scheduled to be released in June 1978, but the problems during filming pushed the film back by six months. Due to the rushed post-production, no premiere took place. Editor Stuart Baird reflected, "Filming was finished in October 1978 and it is a miracle we had the film released three months later. Big-budgeted films today tend to take six to eight months."[24] Donner, for his part, wished that he'd "had another six months; I would have perfected a lot of things. But at some point, you've gotta turn the picture over."[18] Warner Bros. spent $7 million to market and promote the film.[14]
Superman opened on December 15, 1978 in America, grossing $134.22 million in North America and $166 million in foreign countries, totaling $300.22 million worldwide.[34] Superman was the sixth-highest grossing film at the time of its release, as well as Warner Bros.' most successful (which has since been beaten).[24] Based on 53 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of reviewers enjoyed Superman, with the consensus "Superman deftly blends humor and gravitas, taking advantage of the perfectly cast Reeve to craft a loving, nostalgic tribute to an American pop culture icon."[35] By comparison, Metacritic collected an average score of 88, resulting in "universal acclaim", based on 12 reviews.[36] The film was widely regarded as one of top 10 movies of 1978.[37][38][39][40] Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster gave a positive reaction.[10] Shuster was "delighted to see Superman on the screen. I got chills. Chris Reeve has just the right touch of humor. He really is Superman".[5] It was the second highest grossing movie of 1978 only to be kept off by Grease.
Roger Ebert gave a largely positive review. "Superman is a pure delight, a wondrous combination of all the old-fashioned things we never really get tired of: adventure and romance, heroes and villains, earthshaking special effects and wit. Reeve is perfectly cast in the role. Any poor choice would have ruined the film".[41] Ebert placed the film on his 10 best list of 1978.[42] He would later go on to place it on his "Great Movies" list.[43] James Berardinelli believed "there's no doubt that it's a flawed movie, but it's one of the most wonderfully entertaining flawed movies made during the 1970s. It's exactly what comic book fans hoped it would be. Perhaps most heartening of all, however, is the message at the end of the credits announcing the impending arrival of Superman II."[44] Harry Knowles is a longtime fan of the film, but was critical of elements that didn't represent the Superman stories as seen in the comics.[45] Dave Kehr felt "the tone, style, and point of view change almost from shot to shot. This is the definitive corporate film. It is best when it takes itself seriously, worst when it takes the easy way out in giggly camp, When Lex Luthor enters the action, Hackman plays the arch-villain like a hairdresser left over from a TV skit."[46]
Beyond theatrical release[link]
The Salkinds prepared a three-hour-plus version for worldwide television reincorporating some 45 minutes of footage and music deleted from the theatrical cut, and specially prepared so that networks and stations can re-edit their own version at their discretion. American Broadcasting Company aired the broadcast television debut of Superman in 1982, with a majority of the unused footage. A syndicated version of the film aired in local television stations in Los Angeles, California and Washington, D.C. in the 1990s included two additional scenes never seen before, in addition to what had been previously reinstated.[6] When Michael Thau and Warner Home Video started working on a film restoration in 2000, some of the extra footage was not added because of poor visual effects. Thau felt "the pace of the film's storyline would be adversely affected. This included timing problems with John William's musical score. The cut of the movie shown on TV was put together to make the movie longer when shown on TV because ABC paid per minute to air the movie. The special edition cut is designed for the best viewing experience in the true spirit of movie making."[47] There was a special test screening of the Special Edition in 2001 in Austin, Texas, on March 23 with plans for a possible wider theatrical release later that year, which did not occur.[48] In May 2001, Warner Home Video released the special edition on DVD.[49] Director Donner also assisted, working slightly over a year on the project. The release included making-of documentaries directed by Thau and eight minutes of restored footage.[50]
Thau explained, "I worked on Ladyhawke and that's how I met Donner and Tom Mankiewicz. I used to hear those wonderful stories in the cutting room that Tom, Donner and Stuart would tell about Superman and that's how I kind of got the ideas for the plots of Taking Flight and Making Superman.[50] Donner commented, "There were a few shots where the Superman costume looked green. We went in and cleaned that up, bringing the color back to where it should be."[51] Thau wanted to make the film shorter, "I wanted to take out the damn flying sequence where Lois is reciting a poem ["Can You Read My Mind"] when they're flying around. I also wanted to take out where it was just generic action. It was like a two-minute car chase. Donner protested and the stuff stayed in."[50] It was followed by a box set release in the same month, containing "bare bones" editions of Superman II, Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.[52] In November 2006, a four-disc special edition was released,[53] followed by a HD DVD release[54] and Blu-ray.[55] Also available (with other films) is the nine-disc "Christopher Reeve Superman Collection"[56] and the 14-disc "Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition".[57]
Broadcast television version details[link]
When the rights to the first Superman film reverted to the Salkinds in 1981, it was their intention to prepare a television cut longer than what was released theatrically, for the aforementioned reasons. The so-called "Salkind International Extended Cut", which ended up running 3 hours, 8 minutes, was shown internationally on television, and it is from this cut that later domestic TV versions were derived.
The first network American television broadcast of Superman: The Movie took place in February 1982 on ABC.[58][59] The principal sponsor for the telecasts was Atari. At the time, ABC had a contract with Alexander Salkind for the television rights to his films. ABC's 3 hour-2 minute cut[60] of Superman was broadcast over the course of two nights.[61] On the first night it premiered, the film stopped when Lois Lane was falling from the helicopter (the picture froze, creating a cliffhanger-type of ending for part one[62]). The next evening, there was naturally a recap before the film continued.[63] This expanded version was repeated in November of the same year,[64] only this time, shown in one night.[61] The next two ABC showings after that were the original theatrical version. Apparently, in their contract with ABC, the Salkinds were able to get money for every minute of footage shown on TV. So as a result, they crammed in as much footage as possible for the TV networks in order to maximize their revenues. During production of the film, Alexander and Ilya had been relegated to having to sell more and more of their rights back to Warner Bros. in exchange for financial help. Director Richard Donner was not consulted[61] on any of the extended versions. However, due to a clause in his contract, Donner's name remains in the credits.
Also as previously mentioned, some 40 minutes of footage were reinstated for the initial ABC-TV telecasts of the film.[61] Among the highlighted moments:
- A subplot of an Executioner (a Kryptonian security officer) being sent by the council to hunt down and capture Jor-El (while the beginning of the scene is shown in the 2000 director's cut restoration, the "payoff" [with him getting killed] is not in the latter version).
- When Superman is trying to get to Lex Luthor's underground hideout, he is subjected to machine gun fire, a giant blow torch, and is frozen in ice. A tiny fraction of this footage was used in the theatrical version Superman II (directed by Richard Lester), in the scene where Superman's powers are stripped away by the molecule chamber in the Fortress of Solitude.
- Lex Luthor plays the piano in several scenes; when he has Otis drop Eve Teschmacher into the lions' den at the end he is singing You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby.
- After Superman saves Lois at the end and flies off, he's seen rescuing Eve Teschmacher from the lions' den, in which Lex had previously dropped her; he pointedly notes for Luthor to hear, "By the way, Miss Teschmacher, your mother sends her love," a reference to Luthor's boast about Hackensack, NJ.
- The little girl who sees the teenage Clark Kent running faster than the train is revealed to be Lois Lane, a fact revealed when her parents talk to her by name. This revelation scene is not present in the shorter theatrical release. Only in the ABC version are young Lois Lane and her father seen in the train. Also in the ABC version, Otis' walk down the street is longer.
- Nearly all of John Williams' score is restored (some of which was dialed out of the theatrical cut).
However, at least one noticeable removal occurred: the recording of "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets, heard in the original film in the minutes before the death of Glenn Ford's character, is replaced with a generic piece of instrumental music in the ABC cut.
When the rights reverted back to Warner Bros. in 1985, CBS aired the film one last time on network television in its theatrical version. When Superman: The Movie entered the syndication[65] market in 1988 (following a play-out run on pay cable[61][66]) TV stations were offered the extended cut or the theatrical cut. The stations that showed the extended cut[61] edited the second half to squeeze in commercials and 'What happened yesterday flashbacks'.
In May 1994 (following a pay cable reissue and obligatory run on USA Network), Warner Bros. offered the aforementioned "Salkind International Extended Cut" (a 3-hour, 8-minute version, prepared by the Salkinds, and from which the ABC version was derived), which was shown in Los Angeles on KCOP.[61][67] This version also surfaced outside of Los Angeles. For example, WJLA Channel 7, an ABC affiliate out of Washington, D.C. aired the "Salkind International Extended Cut" on Saturday, July 27, 1994. Part one aired from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. before breaking for 30 minutes of news. Part two was then aired from 12:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
The extended version of Superman: The Movie has never been broadcast in the United Kingdom. The first showing of the theatrical version on UK-TV appeared on January 4, 1983 on ITV. In 1985, Ireland's RTE television aired the extended versions of Superman: The Movie and Superman II in one night. The films ran from roughly 3:00 until 9:00 including the odd commercial and a break for the 6:00 news.
The quality of the extended network TV version is inferior to any theatrical or current home video release because it was mastered in 16mm (using the "film chain system") and a mono sound mix done as by the time the extended cut was prepared in 1981, stereo was not available in television broadcasts. Eight of the 45 minutes of extended scenes that were used in the later 2000 director's cut restoration were taken from restored elements.
There are various extended TV versions each broadcast in various countries. Most of these are in pan and scan, as they were made in the 1980s, when movies were not letterboxed to preserve the theatrical aspect ratio on old TVs. None of the various extended versions have ever been made available officially on home video/DVD, although they have been widely bootlegged.[citation needed]
Legacy[link]
Superman was nominated for three Academy Awards (Editing, Music (Original Score) and Sound - (Gordon K. McCallum, Graham V. Hartstone, Nicolas Le Messurier and Roy Charman)),[68] and received a Special Achievement Award for its visual effects. Donner publicly expressed disgust that production designer John Barry and cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth had not been recognized.[17]
Superman was successful at the 32nd British Academy Film Awards. Reeve won Best Newcomer, while Hackman, Unsworth, Barry and the sound designers earned nominations.[69] The film won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.[70] At The Saturn Awards Kidder, Barry, John Williams and the visual effects department received awards, and the film won Best Science Fiction Film. Reeve, Hackman, Donner, Valerie Perrine and costume designer Yvonne Blake were nominated for their work as well.[71] In addition, Williams was given a nomination at the 36th Golden Globe Awards and won a Grammy Award.[72][73] In 2007, the Visual Effects Society listed Superman as the 44th most influential use of visual effects of all time.[74] In 2008, Empire named it the #174 greatest movie all-time on its list of 500.[75] The film also received recognition from the American Film Institute. Superman was selected as the 26th greatest movie hero of all time.[76] The film was considered for AFI's 100 Years... 100 Cheers, but didn't make it past the ballot.[77] In 2009, Entertainment Weekly ranked Superman 3rd on their list of The All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture.[78]
With the success of the film, it was immediately decided to finish Superman II. Ilya and Alexander Salkind and Pierre Spengler did not ask Donner to return because Donner had criticized them during the movie's publicity phase.[7] Donner commented in January 1979, "I'd work with Spengler again, but only on my terms. As long as he has nothing to say as the producer, and is just liaison between Alexander Salkind and his money, that's fine. If they don't want it on those terms, then they need to go out and find another director, it sure as shit ain't gonna be me."[18] Kidder, who portrayed Lois Lane, was dissatisfied by the producers' decision,[24] and also criticized the Salkinds during publicity. As a result, Kidder was only given a cameo appearance for Superman III, and not a main supporting role.[79] Jack O'Halloran, who portrayed Non, stated, "It was great to work with Donner. Richard Lester was as big an asshole as the Salkinds."[80] Two more films, Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987), were produced. Superman Returns was released in 2006. Director Bryan Singer credited Superman: The Movie as an influence for Superman Returns, and even used restored footage of Brando as Jor-El. Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut also was released in 2006.[25]
The film's final sequence, which features Superman flying high above the Earth at sunrise, and breaking the fourth wall to smile briefly at the camera, featured at the end of every Superman film starring Reeve, and was re-shot with Brandon Routh for Superman Returns.
Because Superman went into production prior to Star Wars (May 1977) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (November 1977), some observers credit the three films collectively for launching the reemergence of a large market for science fiction films in the 1980s. This is certainly the view of Superman producer Ilya Salkind and some who have interviewed him,[7][12] as well as of film production assistant Brad Lohan.[81] Other observers of film history tend to credit the resurgence of science fiction films simply to the Lucas and Spielberg productions, and see Superman as the first of the new cycle of films launched by the first two.[82] Ilya Salkind denies any connection between Superman—which began filming in March 1977—and the other films, stating that "I did not know about 'Star Wars'; 'Star Wars' did not know about 'Superman'; 'Close Encounters' did not know about 'Superman.' It really was completely independent — nobody knew anything about anybody."[12] Superman also established the superhero film genre as viable outside the world of Saturday matinee serials, although it was a decade before the comparable success of the Batman series and two decades before that of X-Men and Spider-Man.[7]

Comic book continuity[link]
Many elements of the Superman mythos which were once unique to the film have since been incorporated into the regular continuity of the DC Comics universe:
- the crystalline-based technology of the planet Krypton
- Superman's "S" logo originates as the El family crest
- Ursa and Non—characters created specifically for the film—are imprisoned in the Phantom Zone with General Zod[83]
- A computer-generated simulacrum of Jor-El survives in the Fortress of Solitude to advise his adult son Kal-El[84]
- Clark Kent commences his public superhero career as the adult Superman, rather than the teenage Superboy[85]
- Lois Lane first meets Superman when he rescues her as she falls from a disabled helicopter in Metropolis[86]
- In one version of this encounter, the characters greet each other using the same dialogue from this scene in the film (Superman: "Easy, Miss, I've got you." Lois: "You've got me ... who's got you?")[87]
- Lois is the one who first names the hero "Superman"[88]
- Jonathan Kent dies of a heart attack, but Martha survives as his widow[89]
- Although she is an excellent reporter, Lois frequently misspells words[86]
