US101: Metropolis, IL - The amazing...and forgotten world of Superman

 

[VIDEO] The YouTube channel US101 who is actually a Chicago history teacher took a quick road trip to Metropolis, ILL which is right on the Ohio River which I didn't know. Right on the border with that entity known as the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Well Metropolis is more of a small town that the city where Superman calls home and which is home to the Daily Planet where Clark Kent works. However, Metropolis is known for it's Superman connection due to the work of it's residents to make that DC Comics superhero part of that town's attraction.

It's fascinating to see him go back and forth between the real life Metropolis, IL and comic book history.

DC Comics: 10 hour Yule log fireplace

 

[VIDEO] Giving you this treat for those of you who are comic book fans. I consider myself more of a fan of the DC Universe anyway. Batman is my favorite comic book character of all time having been a real fan since the Batman Animated Series aired on the FOX network in the early 1990s. It changed my perception of that character from the more hilarious direction of Adam West and the 1960s Batman series.

Either way 10 hours of a fire set by the Man of Steel himself, Superman. And this is a bit of a treat on the morning of Xmas day. Although hopefully you're also spending this with people you care about.

Once again I hope you are having a happy and wonderful holiday season so far.
