Superman's Secret History: Behind the Shield

In less than a week, everyone including their mother's mother will be seeing Man of Steel on the big screen. For years, Superman has been seen as a boring character that can easily be killed by a green rock and who wore his red underwear on the outside. Starting next Thursday, everyone will forget about that because Superman will be COOL again.

In preparation for Man of Steel, I've decided to help fanboys and non-comic readers get excited for the new movie. Part 1 consists of showing the evolution of Superman's shield. (No, I did not make these. I googled Superman's shield and these two images showed up.) Part 2 will  focus on the evolution of Superman's costume and Part 3 will be Superman's greatest moments via movies, TV shows, cartoons and comic books.
