Earlier this week I reviewed the comic adaptation of Steel, written and co-drawn by the character’s co-creators. Originally created as part of the “Reign Of The Supermen” storyline (introduced before Superman’s death when Superman saves Irons and inspires him to become Man Of Steel, the armored hero and the only “Superman” not claiming to be the real Superman returned), Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove were not consulted by Kenneth Johnson, as this article goes into. Also noteworthy is that Johnson did the same thing he did with the Incredible Hulk TV show and ignored the source material. That’s why we have low-rent Batman instead of Iron Man on a budget.
