While we have seen much of Superman: Earth One's origin story before, give or take a few self-absorbed mope sessions from Earth's greatest alien superhero of all time, Straczynski's tale should satisfy longtime Superman fans as well as late adopters.
Which is logical: Prolific writer Straczynski is a film and television vet who's penned programs like Babylon 5 and Jeremiah, as well as features like Changeling and Ninja Assassin. Or why The Daily Planet still is in print at all, although there is some grumbling from publisher Perry White about how the newspaper is under siege from the internet.įrom its poignant domestic moments, delivered in mostly warm, fuzzy flashbacks, to its blockbuster battles, Straczynski's Superman: Earth One renders like a feature film just waiting for adaptation. Also not shown above is how Superman meets his new friends, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, or how he ends up at The Daily Planet, when he has the power to do pretty much anything he wants in life. What you don't see is the compelling interstellar villain Straczynski created to challenge Superman's coming-out party, or the new reason for Krypton's annihilation.
