    I was 5. He's been my fave ever since! (The Superman Movie) . I looked at that big screen with Superman flying. Was hooked for life.

    I knew the big three (Bats, Supes, and Spidey) at a really young age.. probably no older than 3 or 4.

    I had a vague idea of Superman when i was in kindergarten, I knew he wore a red cape and could fly, and i knew what his logo looked like. It was connected with a newsstory about this kid who jumped out a window dressed as superman that I heard my mom talking about. When you are a kid, flying is the coolest power in the world. The only superhero i really knew of was Batman. I grew up with the movies and the cartoon. When you are a kid growing up to be batman seems like a very real possibility haha.
