Superman has fought for nearly seven decades to conquer radio, television, and filmâ€”but his battles behind the scenes have proved a far greater threat than any fictional foe. For the first time, one book unearths all the details of his turbulent adventures in Tinseltown.,Â ,Based on extensive interviews with producers, screenwriters, cast members, and crew, ,Superman vs. Hollywood, spills the beans on Marlon Brandoâ€™s eccentricities; the challenges of making Superman appear to fly; the casting process that at various points had Superman being played by Sylvester Stallone, Neil Diamond, Nicolas Cage, Ashton Kutcher, and even Muhammad Ali; and the Superman movies, fashioned by such maverick filmmakers as Kevin Smith and Tim Burton, that never made it to the screen.
