For comics geeks and logo junkies - here's an index to a very good history of Batman (or Bat-Man) and Superman logos, as written by Todd Klein, letterer and logo designer extrordanaire. Four or five parts to each character's logo history, so bookmark the index for easy reference.
Thanks to Mike for the tip.
Speaking of Superman, last night I watched Hollywoodland on DVD. It's a dramatic retelling of the death of George Reeves, the star of the 1950s Superman TV show and serials. The movie stars Ben Affleck, Diane Lane, Adrien Brody, Bob Hoskins, and a few others. The premise and cast sounded good, as there has always been a shroud of the unknown hanging over Reeves' alleged suicide. However, the movie falls completely flat in the telling - so many good opportunities for sass went right by - and left so many dangling plot threads, that you'd think the script had bypassed the editor's desk. Even comics geeks can take a pass on this one.
