  Superman Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superman Family was a DC Comics comic book series which ran from 1974 to 1982 featuring primarily stories starring supporting characters in the Superman comics.
The title was in part an amalgamation of the titles Superman's Girl Friend: Lois Lane and Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen with the second series of Supergirl, therefore immediately becoming DC's flagship title with the highest sales for the remainder.

 The Earth-2 Superman!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
His powers and costume were based on the powers and costume that Superman had in the early 1940s, while his career as both Clark Kent and as Superman was extrapolated from what it was around the time of 1939.
Since this Superman was supposed to have been the "original" Superman as first seen in 1938, by 1966 he was in his late 50s, with the accompanying career and life changes that come with maturity.
Superman trained Kara in the use of her abilities and she eventually took on a super-powered role of her own as Power Girl (All-Star Comics #58), thereby becoming the Earth-2 equivalent of Supergirl.

 Superman Returns: Family Film Guide: Moviefone Mama review - Moviefone
Unlike Richard Donner's big-screen Superman, this one (Christopher Reeve look-alike Brandon Routh) has already encountered Lex Luthor (the brilliantly cast Kevin Spacey) and had a romantic relationship with Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth).
Routh's Superman kicks a lot of evil butt, but he's also a thinker, so there may be a few sequences in the longish epic that go over the kids' heads.
Some younger kids could be upset by the fact that both mothers and sons are in jeopardy, and some scenes are very sad (Superman grieves for his lost father and his changed relationship with Lois; when he's in the hospital, people worry).

 Superman and the Superman Family at Marvel?!? - The Superhero Hype! Boards
Quiet for the past few years, the focus in the Superman copyright case has shifted from Superman to Superboy, and the battle for the right to Superman is joined by a Shuster.
Perhaps not too much, as, technically (and legally), the termination of the transfer of copyright for Superman went into effect on April 16, 1999, and DC still publishes Superman comics, the character co-stars in an animated series, and Warner Brothers is moving ahead with a Superman film.
If DC were to lose all of their rights in Superman (and all the pieces of the mythology created by Siegel and Shuster, including Metropolis), DC would lose the right to create any new derivative works, although they would keep the rights to existing derivative works.

While it's not an official group, the Superman Family is the tag given to several friends and fellow crimefighters who assist The Man of Steel in his never-ending quest to conquer evil and save mankind.
The Superman comics proved to be ahead of the times, as Edge was the first of fiction's most prominent media barons, as his Galaxy Communications owned both the GBS national television network, and the Daily Planet newspaper.

 Showcase Presents: Superman Family (Featuring Jimmy Olsen), reviewed by Bill Bickel
Jimmy Olsen represents a boy's ultimate fantasy: While you can never be Superman (not having been born on Krypton), and becoming Batman requires having your parents gunned down before your eyes followed by twenty years of rigorous training, any boy might be lucky enough to become Superman's best pal.
The plan is for a series of Superman Family volumes, reprinting (in fl and white) the complete run of Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and Supergirl comics in chronological order.
Since Jimmy Olsen began first (1954), this volume is almost entirely his other than a four-page Lois Lane story and the three stories from the first issue of her own comic.

Other telltale clues in Kurt's art style are that his Superman has shading lines on his shins and on his forearms (almost as if to fill the void from not having to draw the golden "braid" on Cap's sleeves).
Curt penciled virtually every Superman Family cover during the Silver-Age, giving the entire line a consistent "look" (and something that disappointed readers who would buy an issue for its great Curt Swan cover then later open it up to discover a Wayne Boring interior!).

 Superman's Family Crest - The Planet
yeah, i'd say it's like a family crest, but think of old england, the pee-on normal citizens wouldn;t have a family crest or coat of arms, but the knights and royalty had them.
I think that SM:TM was the first to put forth the notion that each family had a crest, and the El family's resembled, by fate, an "S." Up to that point, it had only been an earthly symbol for Superman.
So STM found a way out of the mess by altering the mythos and saying that the "S" was Jor-El's family crest, and that it was probably already on the blankets that Kal-El was wrapped in during his journey to Earth.
