It’s the return of the original 1978 Man of Steel flick, with Christopher Reeve in the super pants, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and a grossly overpaid Marlon Brando as Jor-El.

In celebration, let’s unearth a piece of Super-Trivia. Didja know that Sly Stallone lobbied for the lead role? So if there really had been a Superman Curse, as alleged by certain excitable nerds, and Sly fell victim to it, we might have been spared Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot and that Get Carter remake. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
