  Superman Super Site - 1971 Superman (Page 2)
Superman, recuperating from the quickest and neatest cerebral surgery this side of the "Spock's Brain" episode of "Star Trek," is like a magnet to the war demon, which homes in on him, apparently to finish off the Man of Steel for good.
Superman, of course, would just as soon remain living, and since he's been backed into a corner, his choice seems to be totally defeating the sandman and driving the Quarrm entity back to its own dimension.
Traces of the "new" Superman still occasionally popped up, usually in the pages of DC Comics Presents, but O'Neil's vision of Superman, which DC had thought important enough to advertise with two-page spreads in all their January 1971 titles, disappeared after the September 1971 issue, never to return.

 O "Superman": Maybe We Really Don't Need You
I’m having a little trouble getting on board with this new Superman (and spare me the specious argument that one has to read the comics in order to “get it”—if he’s going to be turned into a movie super hero, then he’d best be able to stand on his cinematic own).

Since it’s her love affair with Superman that is supposed to humanize him, this instance of miscasting matters a lot.

 Time Magazine Cover Story, March 14, 1988
It was a heroic scenario: the explosion of the doomed planet Krypton, the miraculous escape of the infant son of a Kryptonian scientist, the discovery of the baby's spaceship by an elderly couple near the Midwestern town of Smallville.
Superman is also vulnerable to Kryptonite, the stuff that Krypton was made of, except when he is sometimes not vulnerable to Kryptonite.
More significant, it was time for Superman to move on from radio and comics and enter a new media, time for a mere mortal to impersonate the man of steel on the screen.

 BBC - h2g2 - Laurie Anderson's 'O Superman' - the Song - A874758
It was called 'O Superman', and it was surely one of the strangest records ever to climb the UK chart.
More importantly, perhaps, the success of 'O Superman' won Anderson a much wider audience for her performance art, which continues to be appreciated to this day.
David Bowie brought 'O Superman' to a new audience in 1997, when he included his version of the song in most of the live dates on his Earthling tour.

 Don't watch Superman III and IV
While the thought of an evil Superman has always been intriguing, the film handles it amateurishly, ending in a big yardfight between Superman and Clark Kent (yes, you read that right!), leading one to speculate on the trippy direction Lester was taking the film in.
Yet, despite having great potential -- imagine Superman's discussions with world leaders and a brief overview of the nuke threat for kids -- the film boils it all down to Superman gathering constantly launched nuclear missiles in a big outer-space bag and throwing them into the sun.
Fashioned from a nuclear blast and a lock of Superman's hair, the most threatening characteristic of this solar-powered blonde goon had to be his dreadful nails.

“O Superman” was Laurie Anderson’s first big HIT: it made it to number 2 in the UK but didn’t do as well in America.
Her music is marvelously in-the-cracks reminding me of Steve Reich, Lou Reed (her husband), David Byrne, and Joni Mitchell, but it would be an insult to say that she is only made up of her influences.
“O Superman” begins with a tiny clip of Laurie’s voice that is “looped” or repeated over and over as a steady eighth note pulse.

As noted, her songs often both portray and re-enact that evolution, describing the ways the two pieces of the equation affect each other as they are drawn increasingly close to each other in form and function.
“O Superman” in particular is an early revelation of the attraction and horror of this hybridization.
In “O Superman” the process of the song mirrors our own (often-unquestioning) growth into the outlets we are given in our high-tech world.

 O Superman | Lost In The Grooves
The eight-minute electronic opus “O Superman (For Massenet)” sounded like it had come from outer space in the way it combined then-unheard-of vocal samples with synthesizers, electronically-treated vocals and spoken word passages.
Although Anderson went on to make more notable records (as well as performance pieces), “O Superman” would mark her as a musical visionary even if it was her only release.
Anderson’s since been vindicated as the innovator all fans of progressive music (as we used to call it then) knew she was.

Even though he's Superman and the character is ubiquitous, a Superman movie is a very new thing and it has to be presented in a new way.
Regarding the plot being essentially a rehash of Richard Donner's Superman 1978 film: "It takes you on the same journey that the original one did but as an adult which was quite intentional," Singer said.
