Great video!
I agree. Adeel of Steel makes amazing videos. 🙂
This is who Superman is. He’s a friend. He’s everyone’s friend. He cares about everyone. Hearing Chris’s voice in this video talking about Superman being that special friend that cares about everyone, brings inspiration and hope.

There’s nothing about what Chris described that wouldn’t “fly” today. If anything it’s needed more than ever.
Well said MattComics. The world could use a friend right now. And that friend is Superman.
