I am old enough to remember the first movie staring Christopher Reeves. This book is right up there what that movie.Bring a continuity lover. I love that they took elements of Smallville and other tv series and managed as well as staying true to the core comic material.I much prefer Lex as a ruthless villain to the more likeable character he played in Smallville. I like how they explained Clark/Superman being more worldly. I really liked what how they explained Clark's "disguise" it made much more sense. As well as his reasons for not wearing a mask. I also liked the reason for Clark's attraction to Lois Lane.I love Leinil Yu's artwork from the first time I saw it in a Wolverine comic. I love everything about this book, even a bit of the full circle at the end. Always the mark of a 5 star book is as soon as it was finished. I want more! I would love another book in this universe I the there are a couple of plot lines left to tie up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and complete look at the origins of superman *by T***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2013* I only became informed of this comic post-Man of Steel, and decided to give it a read after recommendations and from hearing that the movie was inspired by this book. Although I was disappointed with the film, it was said that this source material was far better and I am happy to confirm this. It is tricky for me to review this independantly of the film as my coming by it was so directly connected to it, so bear that in mind when reading my opinion.The film had lifted heavily from Birthright, particularly in key scenes, quotes and style, but failed to carry over any of the weight, emotion and significance that this book so beautifully sets up and delivers. Key aspects of Superman's origins are explored in detail, from why he chooses not to wear a mask, as well as the origin of the costume (at least in this incarnation, we're not talking New 52 here!)From the excellent writing you get a very clear and defined idea of who Superman is, why he became the way he did and what he went through to get there. What I didn't expect was the addition of what is essentially the origin of Lex Luthor, and how intertwined this was with Clark's own origin. While not explored as deeply (this is Superman's story after all), it also gave a great and very human aspect to Superman's greatest foe and helps us understand why he became the way he did.The artwork and colouring for me initially was odd, in particular the cover in which Superman looks a little like some plastic android instead of a saviour. But the art in the book very quickly draws you in with both dynamic and intimate panels, who's colour and style work perfectly to display the drama and emotion of the story.I totally recommend this book to anyone who wants both a good story and a little deeper understanding of the origins of the grandfather of the superhero, 100% worth it and I was completely satisfied! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great superman story. *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2013* Beautiful feel good story about Clark Kent, giving a heartwarming account of the coming of age of a likeable guy and a real hero.Falls apart at the end when the book goes to extreme lengths to sugarcoat the consequences of using super powered violence to solve problems, however well meaning. Quality is lowered due to this, but the theme remains consistent and as a result does not significantly devalue a wonderful work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/51599240-superman-birthright-tp-birthright-the-origin-of-the-man-steel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/51599240-superman-birthright-tp-birthright-the-origin-of-the-man-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
