Superman Forever goes to the movies month continues- this time with the animated adaptation of Grant Morrison‘s All-Star Superman.
Much to David‘s surprise, the commentary doesn’t go the way he thought it would- as he makes his way through the movie, certain realizations set in, and his perception at the end of the film is completely different from how he felt at the beginning.
We enter into a secret place, not seen by the public- Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.
Through the 1981 treasury edition we are able to see Superman respond to a global threat, and one his secret citadel may be responsible for.
From the trophy room, to the interplanetary zoo, and Superman’s never-before-seen private quarters, we are covering every inch of the fortress to ensure that the world doesn’t come to an end- and SUPERMAN ONLY HAS ONE HOUR TO SAVE EARTH!!!!

Part 1 covers the golden, silver, and bronze age, as well as the radio incarnation and television incarnation.
Next time- The post-crisis and beyond.
