      Audience Member Great documentary on the history of DC Comics and the history of comics in general that explores the giant legacy of its characters and the people that are behind them Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Great doco on such an interesting story. Very well narrated by Ryan Reynolds. Great source of knowledge on such a historical and cultural hobby. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary is well made but can only really outline the history of this iconic company and its creations in a short running time. Sadly those who this will likely appeal to will already know much of what is contained but it is still quite entertaining. I just wish this had been envisioned as a much longer mini series so more time could be devoted to each era and the various imprints. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Informative. I wish Marvel would do something like this Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Un doc très bien fait, rempli d'entretiens variés et d'anecdotes, sur l'histoire de DC comics et des plus célèbres de ses héros: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman,... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic look at how DC Comics came about (while completely omitting Canada's role in the Superman story) and the impact comics played throughout the 20th Century and beyond. Probably the best role that Ryan Reynolds has played so far, as an off camera narrator. Love the story on that hack Wertham's impact on comic book industry (Seduction of the Innocent). Thankfully just about everything he asserted regarding the relation to comics and children growing up to become delinquents can now be blamed on MTV instead.
