Pictured to the left is the original teaser poster for Superman: The Movie that graced the walls of movie theaters, subway stations, and bus stops in 1978.  The simple yet powerful imagery of a silver S insignia superimposed on a primary-colored streak descending through the clouds was unmistakable.  In an era when movie-making technology was advanced enough to let starships fly and lightsabers glow, the simple tagline "You'll believe a man can fly" let the public know that this was no kids' movie.  Using state of the art wire work and bluescreen technology, all involved helped make Superman as realistic and human as possible.

However, it seems that the majority of society has forgotten about the Man of Steel, abandoning him for the darker, more vigilant heroes of today.  Superman represents what has now become "the old code," for the definitions of Truth and Justice have been twisted in today's world, and not too many people think the "American Way" is still something worth fighting for.  It is this lack of moral leadership that has led to the lack of interest in Superman.

I invite you to rediscover the magic of our childhood and the age of innocence, when everything was right with the world and good and evil were as clear as black and white.  I invite you to remember that a man can fly.

In Spring of 2000, you will remember.
