Lewis.DC Animated UniverseSuperman is a major character in theDC Animated Universe, under the portrayal of various different actors. Although still a very difficult character to beat, he is portrayed as being considerably weaker than he is in the comics. He also has a specific set of stylized sound effects whenever his powers are used. Additionally, his personality is very similar to Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's original comics, the same one used by John Byrne in the reboot of the DC Universe from 1986: somewhat rough and aggressive, although remaining the personification of moral excellence.Superman first appears inhis eponymous series. As with the comics, he is the sole survivor ofKrypton's demise, caused byBrainiacin this continuity. He is portrayed with the same powers and weaknesses, but like average people of Earth cannot breathe in space and thus requires a space suit. He also wears a special lead suit for protection againstkryptonite. Superman's reputation becomes jeopardized in the two-parterLegacy, where he gets brainwashed byDarkseidand set upon Earth, losing the trust of many, includingProfessor Hamiltonand givingLex Luthoran advantage. His baby age, who only appears inThe Last Son of Krypton, the first episode, is voiced byLeslie Lamers. His teenaged self, who only appears inThe Last Son of Krypton, as well as the episodeNew Kids in Town, is voiced byJason Marsden.Tim Dalyvoices the adult character.Superman next appears in theBatman Beyondtwo-parterThe Call. He wears a different suit of black and silver, but is shown to have aged slower than anyone on Earth, due to his Kryptonian DNA, asBruce Waynejokes about. He is first shown disguised as a bystander that is taken hostage byInque, but he quickly reveals himself and takes her out. He then shows up at theBatcaveto recruitTerry McGinnis, the new Batman, into the Justice League, apparently in order to help him find a traitor within the league. Bruce and Terry both discover the traitor to be Superman himself, and Bruce gives Terry a piece of kryptonite, referring to the events ofLegacy. However, it is then discovered that Superman had been under the control of a starfish-like alien (Starro) that he had saved a long time ago. Terry frees Superman, and the two help the rest of the league send the aliens back. Superman was voiced byChristopher McDonald, the voice ofJor-Elin the DCAU, due to an idea that Superman sounds more like his father as he ages.Superman next appears inJustice League, now voiced byGeorge Newbern. Daly was supposed to return, and had even done initial recordings, but was ultimately too involved with other television shows and had to be replaced. Superman, having already got back his reputation that Darkseid had put at stake, forms the league, along withBatman. He begins to wonder about what might happen to him after the events of theJustice Lords, what with his counterpart giving into the urge and killing Luthor. Superman was originally designed with a shine in his hair, along with wrinkles and squintier eyes in order to make him look more detailed, but was redesigned again with his look fromSupermanafter it was not well received.Newbern returns to the role of Superman inStatic Shock, where he helps the title character battle againstToyman. In this series, Superman is given full eyes with blue irises, compared to his other appearances within the DCAU.Superman is again voiced by Newbern inJustice League Unlimited. In this series, he nearly gives into the urge to become like his Justice Lord counterpart, attempting to lobotomizeDoomsday, who he instead finally banished into thePhantom Zone, much to the questioning of Batman and the general public. His doubts about not being like his Justice Lord counterpart are fleshed out inDivided We Fall, where a mechanical duplicate of his counterpart points out about his trust from the public and his power. Superman insists that he is not like his counterpart at all. Most noteworthy is after Flash apparently died defeating the Lex Luthor/ Braniac hybrid, he brought Luthor to eye level and said: "I'm not the man that killed President Luthor. Right now, I wish to heaven that I were, but I'm not." It was because of this, Superman considered shutting down the Justice League, only to be talked out of it byGreen Arrow. During the series finale,Destroyer, Superman briefly gets the upper hand on a resurrected Darkseid. He explains "I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard.", saying that he thus is always taking care of not to attack too hard or he might kill someone. With Darkseid, however, he says "But you can take it, can't you big man. What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and show you just how powerful I really am." and punches Darkseid hard into the sky, through several buildings, and knocks him back into the ground, creating a huge crater. Darkseid then stuns Superman using the Agony Matrix, which causes him to feel extreme pain in every part of his body, and is about to kill him with a kryptonite knife when he is saved by Luthor, whom had agreed with Superman to stop Darkseid, or in his case, get revenge on him for taking a piece of Brainiac from him.Superman/BatmanMitch Watsonrevealed that there was a planned Superman/Batman animated series which Clark as a cub reporter coming to Gotham City, where he meets Bruce and beginning his career as Superman.Postage stampsAppearing in countries world-wide The USPS debuted a new series of stamps in honor of the 75 years ago today the Man of Steel debuted in the pages of Action Comics #1 (cover dated June 1938).

Movie WorldSuperman: Escape from Krypton,roller coasteratSix Flags Magic Mountainis a steelshuttle roller coasterinValencia, California. When it opened in 1997, it was the tallest roller coaster in the world, and its speed of 100 mph (160 km/h) was tied for the fastest withTower of Terror II, a similar roller coaster which opened two months earlier atDreamworldinAustralia. These two coasters were the first to utilizeLinear Synchronous Motor(LSM) technology to propel vehicles to top speed. The park originally intended to open the ride in 1996, but the opening was delayed because of several issues with the launch system. The ride was closed in late 2010 for refurbishment, and it emerged in 2011 as "Superman: Escape from Krypton". The refurbished ride featured new trains which face backward, and it was painted with a new color scheme.

Efforts were made to launch a Batman radio series in 1943 and again in 1950, but neither came to fruition.In 1989, an original radio drama,Batman: The Lazarus Syndrome, was produced byDirk MaggsforBBC Radio 4.A second Maggs production aired onBBC Radio 1in 1994, this time adapting the comic book storylineBatman: Knightfall. It was adapted, produced and directed by Maggs—with music composed byMark Russell—who had also madeSuperman: Doomsday & BeyondonBBC Radio 5. This show, however was not commissioned of its own, but rather to be three-minute episodes on the Mark Goodier Show. This meant it was written with a sense of immediacy; having to make an instant effect and each three-minute segment contains a major plot development or sound effect stunt and ends on a cliffhanger. DC acknowledged the effort in an issueShadow of The Batby having villains jump past a sign reading "Dirk Maggs Radio".Michael Goughreprised the role ofAlfred Pennyworthfrom the Burton/Schumacher film series.NewspaperFrom 1943 to 1946, Batman and Robin appeared in a syndicated daily newspapercomic stripproduced by theMcClure Syndicate.

One more comic strip series ran briefly after the success of the 1989 film.BooksBatman appears in a novel by cyberpunk/horror novelistJohn Shirley, titledBatman: Dead WhitefromDel Rey. Many other novels and short story collections featuring Batman have been published over the years, including novelizations of each of the recent movies (such asBatmanandThe Dark Knight Rises) and many of the comic book arcs.There are also several more scholarly works, aimed at either Batman's history or art, such asLes Daniels'Batman: The Complete History,Will Brooker'sBatman Unmasked: Analysing a Cultural Iconand compilations such asBatman: Cover to Cover: The Greatest Comic Book Covers of the Dark Knight.

Steinman has revealed five songs from the musical. The first is the opening theme for "Gotham City" and the entry of Batman with his tortured solo "The Graveyard Shift"; followed by "The Joker's Song (Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?)", "The Catwoman's Song (I Need All The Love I Can Get)", "We're Still The Children We Once Were" (the climactic sequence) and "In The Land Of The Pig The Butcher Is King", sung by the corrupt blood-suckers ruling Gotham, covered on theMeat LoafalbumBat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose. These songs can be heard at theBatman: The Musicalmemorial site,Dark Knight of the Soul.A Batman musical is also parodied in the animated seriesBatman Beyond. The episode "Out of the Past", (first aired October 21, 2000) opens with Bruce Wayne andTerry McGinnisattending a performance of (a fictional)Batman: The Musical, featuring caricatures of prominent members of theRogues Gallery(the Joker, the Penguin, Two-Face, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn).

Between that and the muffled sound they gave his voice on the record(like he was being heard through a burlap hood) it cemented the Scarecrow in my young mind as one of Batman's most disturbing bad guys.The albumKnightfallby multinational Swedish bandSilent Images, is based on theBatman:Knightfallstory arc, with Batman serving as a central character, the "Nightly Priest". The album explores the underlying sociopolitical themes in the Batman universe, and his struggle against "The Venomous One", which is the album´s interpretation ofBane.Games, action figures, and other toysHundreds ofBatman action figures,die-cast models, and other items have been released.

It later aired theatrically in Japan. It was released on VHS in the 1980s and on DVD in 2004.Raimi seriesSpider-Man: On May 3, 2002, thefeature filmSpider-Manwas released. It was directed bySam Raimiand stars actorTobey Maguireas Peter Parker. The film uses variousCGIeffects to bring Spider-Man to life. Although the film adaptation took liberties with the character's history and powers—notably, he was bitten by agenetically modifiedrather than aradioactivespider (an idea originating withUltimate Spider-Man), hadorganicweb-shooters rather than mechanical ones, and had a long-standing crush onMary Jane Watson—it generally held true to the character and was widely embraced by the viewing public. It opened at a record US$114.8 million and earned more thanUS$403 million in the U.S. and Canada, the highest North American gross of any film released that year, though surpassed internationally (see2002 in film). The villain of this film was theGreen Goblinportrayed byWillem Dafoe.Spider-Man 2was 2004's second-most financially successful film in North America and third internationally (see2004 in film). It premiered in more North American movie theaters (4,152) than any previous film. Its original opening day was July 2, 2004, but was moved to June 30, 2004.

The film features three villains: theSandman / Flint Marko(portrayed byThomas Haden Church), theNew Goblin / Harry Osborn(portrayed byJames Franco), andVenom / Eddie Brock(portrayed byTopher Grace).Bryce Dallas HowardplaysGwen Stacy. The plot centers on Peter and MJ's relationship problems, which are exacerbated by the arrival of an alien symbiote that takes over Spider-Man's costume and, despite enhancing his powers, also amplifies his anger, arrogance and other negative personality traits. Despite mixed reviews by critics,Spider-Man 3opened to record-breaking sales with $59 million on its first day.Spider-Man 4began production in 2008 with Raimi attached to direct and the core cast of the previous films to return. Come 2009, however, Raimi dismissed the rumors that all three films were being made, instead confirming that only the fourth was under development. Sony hired James Vanderbilt in October 2008 to pen the screenplay, after contacting David Koepp, the writer of the first film. The script underwent further revision by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and once more by Gary Ross in October 2009. Sony had also hired Vanderbilt to pen scripts forSpider-Man 5andSpider-Man 6. On the subject of villains, Raimi considered showcasing the transformation ofDr. Curt Connorsinto the Lizard, withDylan Bakerreprising his role. He also had plans to upgrade Bruce Campbell to a more significant role than his prior cameos. In December 2009, it was reported thatJohn Malkovichwas in talks to play theVulture, withAnne HathawayplayingFelicia Hardy. Hardy would be taking a departure from her prior portrayals in this film, becoming "Vulturess" instead of the familiar Black Cat. Disagreements between Raimi and Sony threatened to push the release date back. Raimi reportedly doubted that he could adhere to the film's May 6, 2011 release date without sacrificing quality. Further complicating things, Raimi reportedly went through four revisions of the script, with different writers, and still "hated it". With so many issues, Sony cancelled the film in January 2010.Webb seriesThe Amazing Spider-Manbegan production in December 2010 and was directed byMarc Webbfrom a screenplay byJames Vanderbilt,Alvin Sargent, andSteve Kloves.

Built for Islands of Adventure's opening in 1999, the attraction is a hybrid ride combining special roving motion vehicles with3Dprojection, elaborate physical sets, and both practical and tactile effects.The ride takes park guests-turned-last-minute-reporters into the world ofMarvel Comics'Spider-Man, and after boarding aDaily Buglevehicle known as the "Scoop", the rider learns that the evilSinister Syndicatehas captured theStatue of Libertywith ananti-gravitygun.

After walking though the empty office, guests are shown a "live" video feed of news coverage.Five supervillainsled byDoctor Octopushave lain siege to the city by an experimental anti-gravity cannon created by Doctor Octopus himself. The syndicate steals theStatue of Libertyand threatens to destroy it if the city does not surrender to them. As guests walk through the empty offices of theBugle, it becomes apparent that all the reporters have fled, leaving The Bugle's Editor-in-ChiefJ. Jonah Jamesonwith no choice but to send the tourists to cover the story using the Bugle's new Scoop vehicle.After donning night vision goggles (3D glasses) the "cub reporters" get in the Scoop and leave the loading docks to aManhattanback alley where they encounter Spider-Man. He warns that he is in for the most dangerous night of his life and for the guests to be careful. In this scene, a series of synchronized effects are used to simulate Spider-Man jumping on the Scoop.

Once spotted,Electro,Scream, and Doctor Octopus attack and hurl the Scoop into the sewer, where Spider-Man is waiting.

These include a movable building set, lighting cues, simulator movements, projections and wind effects. Spider-Man attempts to pull the Scoop down, but is attacked by all the super-villains. Spider-Man thwarts them, but not before Doctor Octopus disengages the anti-gravity device, sending the Scoop on a simulated freefall until it is rescued by Spider-Man's webbing right above the ground and another Stan Lee cameo. Spider-Man manages to capture all of the supervillains by tying them with webs. As the vehicle pulls into the unload station, Spider-Man thanks the guests for their help and sends them back to theDaily Bugle, where he has rigged the anti-gravity cannon to lift Jameson up to the ceiling in his office. Guests unload while a modern rendition of the classic Spider-Man theme song plays and a voiceover by Stan Lee instructs the riders on exiting properly.Hero ClixSpider-man has appeared as aHeroClixfigure, along with other Spider-man characters, in the following HeroClix sets:Infinity ChallengeClobberin' TimeXplosionCritical MassUniverseUltimatesWeb of SpidermanAmazing SpidermanMarvel 10th AniversaryWhat IfTabApp - TabApp Elite - Extreme HeroclixSuperior Foes of Spider-ManSinisterSecret InvasionMutations and MonstersMutant MayhemMarvel ExclusivesIncredible HulkHammer of ThorGalactic GuardiansFear ItselfFantastic FourDeadpoolCivil War OPChaos WarArmor WarsAvengers vs. XMenAvengersHundreds of Spider-man action figures,die-cast models, and other items have been released.

It was kind of spooky at the same time because it talked about Peter Parker’s dad getting shot and murdered. Green Goblin’s parts all had scary sound effects too. And you could hear Peter Parker’s uncle talking to him from beyond the grave! And Kingpin’s voice was super scary too. I remember it all! I think it’s because it embodies so much emotional elements. As a producer, Iit’s brilliantly recorded, brilliantly produced, especially with limited early '70s technology.Spider-Man:Rock Reflections of a SuperheroA record album entitled;Spider-Man: Rock Reflections of a SuperherofromLifesong Records.
