    Elseworlds. The boyhood dreams of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster combine with the vision of renowned filmmaker Fritz Lang in Superman's Metropolis, a remarkable Elseworlds graphic novel setting the Man of Tomorrow in the City of Tomorrow.

I'd go a step further to say it detracts the movie by adding text that is otherwise a pictorial interpretation by the movie viewer. I could not finish this comic. I already knew the story. The co...
