Superman, aka "the Man of Steel", is a fictional character and superhero who first appeared in Action Comics #1 in 1938, Superman is one of the most popular and well-known comic book icons of all-time.

Superman , created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel for National Comics (today DC Comics), subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, and video games. Superman was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton and, as an infant, was rocketed to Earth by Jor-El, his scientist father, moments before Krypton exploded. The rocket landed on Earth outside the town of Smallville, where young Kal-El was discovered and adopted by the amiable Jonathan and Martha Kent. As he grew, Superman discovered that he possessed powers far beyond those of mortal men. When not fighting the forces of evil as Superman, Superman lives amongst humanity as Clark Kent, a "mild-mannered reporter" for the Daily Planet. Clark works alongside reporter Lois Lane, with whom he is romantically involved. In current comics continuity, they are married, however, Superman has had several other relationships throughout his years in comics. Superman 's adventures are today published in a number of comic books.

Superman Returns is a 2006 American Superhero film based on the fictional character and superhero Superman . The film is currently being directed by Bryan Singer and the role of Superman/Clark Kent will be portrayed by Brandon Routh.

In addition, pieces and motifs of John Williams' classic film score for Superman: The Movie will be adapted by composer John Ottman and incorporated into the film's new score. The film received a PG-13 rating as expected for "some intense action violence."
