SUPERMAN
Superman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. Superman debuted in Action Comics #1 (cover-dated June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, newspaper strips, television programs, films, and video games. With this success, Superman helped to create the superhero archetype and establish its primacy within the American comic book. Superman’s appearance is distinctive and iconic; he usually wears a blue costume with a red-and-yellow emblem on the chest, consisting of the letter S in a shield shape, and a red cape.

The musical Godspell was adapted into a film called Godspell in 1973, and a Godspell soundtrack album was also released. The film was shot in numerous deserted New York City locations, with the cast dressed in contemporary clothing. In a nod to Jesus Christ Superstar, the character of Jesus is wearing a Superman shirt during the film.
