Subject: RE: BS: Any comic book readers here ?
I've not cared much for the transfer of comic book characters to live action film. This is especially true of the super (and near-super) heroes. Much better--or truer--to source material were Popeye and Dick Tracy (the Beatty version). But those did not do box office, so obviously I'm in a minority.

The Fleischer Superman cartoons of the 1940s are wonderful, though based more on the radio Superman series than the four color magazines. I have the complete run, and rewatch some occasionally.
