In our series "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time. Our conversation focuses on the experience of someone watching the movie for the first time today and their reaction.
This week we revisit Richard Donner's Superman from 1978 starring Marlon Brando, Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, which tells the story of how Clark Kent becomes Superman in Metropolis and develops a romance with Lois Lane while battling the villainous Lex Luthor.
We talk about the movie's historic role in the superhero and comicbook movie genre, whether it still is as compelling in 2025 as it was in 1978, which parts of the Superman mythos the movie gets right and which it doesn't, and whether it made us believe a man can fly.
