ABSTRACT
After the success of Superman: The Movie in 1978 and Superman II in 1980, the Superman film series became … lacking. 1983’s Superman III brought comedian Richard Pryor into the mix (and revived one of the Red Kryptonite stories), but Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, was the final nail in the Superman film series coffin. It was a bleak time for comic adaptations, just one year after The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen took the comic book and mainstream worlds by storm.
