Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman produced by Superman Returns director Bryan Singer and narrated by star Kevin Spacey is nearly a two-hour documentary providing an exhaustive narrative covering over 60 years of the Superman.

The documentary opens with the early work of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster leading to the 1938 Action Comics debut of Superman. Following which is the Max Fleischer cartoon, the Columbia serials, the 1950s Adventures of Superman series and the tragic suicide of its star, George Reeves. The journey continues with the 1966 Broadway musical, the 1970s feature films; the death of star Christopher Reeve, the subsequent TV series Lois & Clark and Smallville, and the latest 2006 feature Superman Returns.

The film talks about Superman’s transformations during World War II, the atomic age, and the 1960s. The interviews that form a part of the movie include stars such as Noel Neill and Jack Larson (who were in both Adventures of Superman and Superman Returns), and Annette O’Toole (Superman III and Smallville) to producer Ilya Salkind, director Richard Donner, Margot Kidder, Stan Lee, Dean Cain, and Brandon Routh.

The film does not delve a lot into the animated series and some famous personalities are not part of the impressive list of interviewees. The feature definitely serves as an impressive and engaging examination of the DC Comics icon.
