Since then, superhero movies have shown that man can not only fly, but swing from webs, turn monstrous shades of green and dress as giant rodents to safeguard the city streets. This Pocket Essential reveals the secret identity of the superhero movie, examining how cinema has come to represent the mythological icons of our age. Through detailed analysis and fascinating facts, Superhero Movies explores how, in a single bound, the superhero has made the leap from the comic book page to the silver screen.
