Why does Superman remain one of the most enduring characters in popular culture nearly ninety years after his debut? In this segment, #1 bestselling author William Bernhardt, author of more than 60 books including “The Superman Wars,” explores common misconceptions about the Man of Steel, the history of his creators, and the long legal battle over ownership. By reframing from the story as a conflict between art and commerce rather than simply good versus evil, Bernhardt reveals why Superman’s legacy continues to matter to readers and creators alike.
