The nerd community struggled with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel despite it being an overwhelming box office success. I know I had some issues with Kal-El’s moral decisions — especially at the end — but at least it wasn’t as bad as Richard Donner’s third Superman movie. However, I never really considered what kind of impact the ultra violent Superman reboot would have on a child, or a baby for that matter.
A father decided to record his son’s reaction to Superman flying for the first time, and you can see the infant become a lifelong comic book fan before your eyes. Hopefully, the little fan discovers the good Superman stories and avoids growing up to be a jaded, snobby fanboy like myself.
