Max Fleischer's Superman: 1941-1942
Rating: 4 out of 5

     Before Superman: The Animated Series and well before Superman Returns thre was Max Fleisher's Superman, a 1940's look into the eyes of Superman.  These theatrical shorts are probably some of the best depictions of the tights wearing superhero, falling somewhere under the first two Superman films.

     Max Fleisher was definitly ahead of his time when he made these classic Superman shorts, the animation and even short storylines are very impressive for the time, it's hard to imagine that they were made nearly seventy years ago.  Most modern cartoons which feature Superman fall short of Max's vision of The Man of Steel.

     It's nice to finally see this stunning portrayal of Superman on an official release DVD, and it has never looked so good!
