    "I feel like with being able to truly understand this anti-hero the better. I mean most know his family died but to truly be able to walk through his life with him and see what drives him. What moves him and what controls his urge to punish people is way above the rest. I love this is brought to visual for everyone to see."

You follow Clark as he goes through high school, works at Daily Planet, and encountering the typical Superman related heroes and villains. A show that is worth watching if you're into superheroes!"

    "The original Batman TV show cannot compare to today's show standard, not really. However, it did show that it was indeed possible to adapt a major superhero character into a TV show with great success and cohesiveness. I consider this one of the best superhero tv shows of all time for what it was able to achieve."

    "This series has a great start, and left you wondering who had what powers and what rules apply. It's a great one to watch if you enjoy comic books in general, and gave you an X-Men kind of feel of what if everyday people discovered they had previously unexplained powers?"
