And though it lasts two hours and has what can charitably be deemed a feature-length plot, the television movie Spider-Man Strikes Back, edited together from the second and third episodes of the 1978 Spider-Man TV series, unmistakably falls closer to the “television” than “movie” part of the TV/movie divide. ( Wonder Woman still hasn’t made it to the big screen yet, though she’ll debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice next year.) Even Superman was a hit on TV before the movies. Before that, however, the really successful, influential superhero stories were on television.īatman, The Incredible Hulk, and Wonder Woman were all small-screen smashes before they were brought to the big screen. It was, in many ways, the big bang that produced our current superhero era. Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman was a game-changer that proved a story about a man who dons tights to fight crime could have the grandeur and sweep of an old-fashioned epic, and that a superhero movie could be important as well as entertaining.
