Few superheroes have had as tumultuous a media presence as Superman. Joel Shuster and Jerry Siegel’s 1938 creation grew in popularity outside of comics thanks to Christopher Reeve’s movies and the 1990s cartoon (and the subsequent DC Animated Universe shows that spawned from it). During the 2000s, the character’s live-action efforts consisted of the 10-season Smallville from the WB (now the CW), and 2006’s Superman Returns served as the hero’s last theatrical movie for nearly a decade. Warner Bros. made several efforts to…
