Superman’s many dads

Superman has had many dads, the most recent of which are these two:

Entertainment Weekly

Boys of Steel with "Boys of Steel"

In honor of today's opening of Man of Steel, the first live-action Superman movie since Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman came out, I was thrilled to introduce the book to not one, not two, but three people who have portrayed Superman as a child in a feature film.

So just like the post title says, it's Boys of Steel meet Boys of Steel:

Aaron Smolinski, toddler Superman in Superman: The Movie (1978); 

I interviewed him in 2009

 Cruz and Ryder Colgan, baby Superman in Man of Steel (2013); 
I will interview them in approximately 2019

Here are all three in a younger day:

The first two photos in this post were taken on 6/13/13. Thank you again to Aaron and Candice (the twins' mom) for your willingness to take and send them.
