Join us for a special showcase of the Max Fleischer ‘Superman’ cartoons on the big screen! The 1941-42 Fleischer Studios shorts were Superman’s first animated theatrical adventures that not only created a definitive style but went on to influence animated portrayals of other comic book characters such as Batman: The Animated Series. Long revered as among the best of the superhero cartoons, these films are newly restored 4K presentations from 35MM archival prints, spearheaded by Max’s granddaughter, Jane Fleischer Reid.
