Superman made his comic book debut in 1938, appearing in Action Comics #1, and the Man of Steel’s popularity grew with his subsequent radio program. Max Fleischer gave the world’s first Super Hero his initial animated spotlight, producing 17 theatrical animated shorts from September 1941 to July 1943 that further elevated the character’s profile, and added many significant aspects to his canon – including coining many of Superman’s patented catchphrases and attributes.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s advanced remastering process began with a 4K, 16-bit scan of Fleischer’s original 35mm successive exposure negative. Staying true to the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.37-to-1, the highest quality raw image was then scanned and...

Warning: this Happy Valley review contains spoilers.
Well, this is embarrassing. Every acting award for this year has already been engraved with the name Sarah Lancashire, but now someone’s going to have to take a sharp screwdriver to a couple and scratch ‘James Norton’ over the top. He deserves one for his guileless delivery of the line “I’ve never been abroad,” and at least one for that episode-ending voice chat.
That was some scene – ultra-tense and skilfully done. We hung on every word, pained by each step Ryan seemed to take closer to the lion’s mouth. Listen carefully though, and it was far from a straightforward exchange. They both sidestepped the other’s questions, changing the subject and withholding their locations. Dodge and feint, dodge and feint.
They played it with real skill, but it was Norton who shone, taking Tommy Lee Royce from smug euphoria...

Don't be fooled by the title. BBC's new drama series is many things, but "happy" probably isn't one of them...
Sally Wainwright cannot put a foot wrong. Her magnum opus, the critically acclaimed Last Tango In Halifax, was a master class in how TV’s depiction of our older generation doesn’t always need to result in ageist caricatures and Scott & Bailey is still going strong albeit sans Wainwright. With Last Tango In Halifax’s third series in the pipeline, it seems the writer fancied something else altogether. The result is Happy Valley, BBC One’s new Tuesday night drama, and it really is quite excellent.
Catherine Cawood (Last Tango in Halifax alumnus Sarah Lancashire) doesn’t have a great life. “I’m Catherine, by the way,” she says breezily, to a man planning to set fire to himself. “I’m 47, I’m divorced,...
