Last Son
Brad Ricca 2009
Run time: 76 min. | USA
How did Cleveland teens Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster devise Superman, the first comics superhero, and, second to a certain mouse, the most popular fictional character in the world? Last Son tells the tale, uncovering a new source for the very first Superman story (which was rejected for years) and solving the mystery of the lovely Lois Lane. Among the never-before-seen home movies, there’s a beautiful bit from the 1941 World’s Fair, which included a “Superman Day” with the first actor to play Superman—a high point for the two men who created, but would never own, the Man of Steel.
