I won't write a long and complex OP, the proof is in watching the video for yourself. I'm amazed at how well it captures the core of Superman's character and idealistic example far better than the New 52 or Man of Steel has done so. And the Foo Fighters backing track of 'Walk' is superb to listen to.
Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18886 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!

So you're saying this Superman is not a Pretender?
*Ba dum tss*
(Sigh) I'll let you have this one since you're a fellow Foo Fighters fan. But I seriously can't believe you don't like Nirvana -_-
Awesome video.
Do we know who the artist was? His Superman was pretty neat. Also love some Foo Fighters.
It's Maurico Abril, the same name as his Youtube profile.

Me too mate, me too.
Shrugs…
Seriously I dare you to find one moment of Pak's run which is comparable to what this video does without a story or words.

If seriously – discarding the music (just not the fan), I don’t have anything against “good guy, with high morale standard, who saves people”, but for Superman’s sake, I hope there more to him than just that…
I don’t know, something lacking in execution of this video (for me, at very least). Honestly, Superman: Peace on Earth, some moments from All-Star Superman, New-52 AC by Morrison or Pak (YES, Pak) or even short comics by Alex Ross (told from Batman’ POV when he freed Superman from Brainiac’s control) are doing it better (again, imo).
@lvenger: This was an awesome vid, thanks for sharing! :D
*wipes tears from his eyes*
Ditto :')
I'm not a big fan of Foo Fighters but this vid was nice. Reminded me of when superman saved that kid from the train in the new 52. Top Notch animation as well.
Nice =)
@claymore1998: Well I agree with you..
This was beautiful. Thanks for the video, L. Gonna post this to my Facebook wall.
Brought a tear to my eye.
@claymore1998: Oh lol.

A pleasure mate, I thought you'd be one to like it especially.
@lvenger: The Feels.....This brought me back to the first time I saw the 90's Superman AS, Read my first Superman comics and watched Superman 1 and 2. Memories that I cherish. Thanks for sharing this man :)

Likewise to have shared the video on here with fellow Superman fans like you mate. It brought back some fond Superman memories of a simpler and better time for me too :)

Excactly. This is such a fantastic video and encompasses everything that is great about the character although the song choice couldve been better. I would have much preffered hero by nicleback. Not a fan of the band but that is one of the few songs I enjoy that they did. Mostly associated with Spidey but if you really listen it's a song that connects with Superman.
Now that I think about it more and more, this makes me really miss Ma' and Pa' Kent. I was absolutely furious when DC decided that Ma' and Pa' should stay dead. They are the entire reason why he is Superman in the first place.
I mean, they are practically the most important characters in the entire Superman franchise.
