A Film Study into a Famous Comic Book Hero Character Portrayed on Screen with a Human Performance

A deep analysis into one of the most interesting comic book characters ever elevated into film and television. A character study into the consequences of an orphaned alien sent to Earth from Krypton, and the actual issues that arise from a first encounter with a humanoid alien species possessing supreme DNA and unchecked powers. This book covers the issues of erasure required to mold a complex alien entity into human life without causing distress and alarm on Planet Earth.

I examine the contradictions that are acceptable under the free license of comic book creation but become obvious flaws once projected onto the silver screen.

This book is an X-ray look at finding vulnerabilities in a flawless character created back in the 1930s, and how this creation has impacted and been received by subsequent generations of fans.

The book is laid out in 3 Acts and 11 Chapters:
