I...I'm a big fan of Superman, always have been. I especially loved the old Superman cartoon serial done by, I think, the Fleischers? Loved the movies too, even SUPERMAN RETURNS which was ruined, basically, by Kevin Spacey's obnoxious performance. (At least for me.) Quick story about Popeye (whom I also love, but only the older cartoons): My first job out of high school (I went to an art high school) was for Paramount Pictures which had an office/animation studio in NYC at the time. (Don't know if they still do.) I was hired as an 'opaquer' for the new Popeye cartoons shown on tv in the very early sixties. They were awful really, none of the wicked charm or the wonderful animation of the early stuff. After six months I became bored and was fired. <br />A happy day. I mean, you can only paint between the lines, every single day, 8 hours a day, for so long without going bonkers.
