April 27, 2002: Comic Book Movies Article in USA Today
An article in
USA TODAY written by Susan Wloszczyna titled "Conquering comic heroes" had this to say about the Christopher Reeve "Superman" movies...
The original superhero blockbuster, 1978's Superman, went up, up and away with Richard Donner at the controls -- a reliably middlebrow director if there ever was one. Younger filmmakers, including Singer and Raimi, are admirers.
"The first half of Superman, with its vision of the planet Krypton and the town of Smallville, was a seminal, modern-day approach to comic-book movies," says Batman's Uslan. "It was grounded in a sense of reality, touching and human."
Others, though, find it dated.
"I know this sounds strange," Blade II's Goyer says, "but Superman doesn't have a comic-book mentality. It doesn't revel in it. None of the films are imbued with that crazy sensibility."
