The last Superman flick had been released a decade earlier to disastrous reviews and ticket sales, the most recent Batman film was a franchise-killing bomb, and an oft-promised Spider-Man feature was grounded. Yet a mere five years later this once-derided genre would be well on its way to world domination at the box office and even critical respectability. How did this happen? And why, two decades later, does the phenomenon show no sign of abating? Here, for the first time, is an extensively researched soup-to-nuts history of the superhero movie, from the first bargain-basement black-and-white serials to today's multiverse blockbusters. Chronicling eight decades of stops and starts, controversies and creators, good guys and bad guys--both onscreen and off--this entertaining and insightful account explains how and why our entertainment universe came to be overpowered by costumed crimefighters and their nefarious counterparts.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmAuthor: Shawn ConnerGenre: Films & TVItem Weight: 272gRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
