2 PS: [Now] Favorite Live-Action Movie, Stage, TV, or Streaming Superman Portrayal (Ready)

@TheOldJalapenoman​

Since the 1975 version wasn't a really a staged revival production and was filmed over the course of three days as a TV special for ABC, and shown exclusively on TV, it is listed only on the TV portion of the poll. The Bob Holiday version is listed on the theatrical portion of the poll and covers the Broadway run plus short runs in other cities. There are no other listings for the single day or less than a month revivals of "It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman"  that occurred between 2007 and 2016.

scope part 2: licensed live-action television, streaming, or direct-to-video

scope part 1: licensed live-action theatrical movie, theatrical short, or stage

@urbanemovies​   Okay, sorry.  I remember watching the tv special the year it aired.  I was spending the night at a friend's house and it was on later in the evening.  Three teenage boys stayed up and watched that show and giggled and laughed as we found it hilarious.  I have no idea if it was any good or not, but the scores and ratings for it are pretty bad... and what do 14 year olds know about quality anyway?

I am glad you pointed it out, it forces me to double check and make sure its right. Plus, I originally had him listed on both polls until I realized that it wasn't a revival per se. 

Although, I would think they had some table readings, rehersals, or even put on few performances prior to filming. But, maybe all that would have been too costly and they went with multiple takes over three days to get the performance they thought was good enough to broadcast. It seems odd to do it from scratch, rather than filming an stage production that was already running, like the do today with stage plays or concert films.
