…I am Superman, …
…I am Superman, and even if you like him or not, he is a legend. I mean without the creation/ideas of Superman, we wouldn’t have the majority of the greatest heroes we have now today.
What really bothers …
What really bothers me is the fact that DC comics has more then enough to restore this house and make it a historical site.
Honestly, this …
Honestly, this video choked me up.
That house is the …
That house is the origin of a legend, so wonderful to see the place I’d heard about. How a young Jerry Seigel lay away at night and conceived of a ‘super man’… and that was the place it happened! Wow! At one time only one person knew of Superman… and that he was really Clark Kent. Now everyone knows… : ) What an achievement! What a legacy for a country let alone one man! Save the house!
rotothirteen: one …
rotothirteen: one day you will grow old enough to appreciate relics of the past.
i’m glad enough people are left in the world who care about mankind’s achievements to save a memory such as this house.
it should be converted into a superman museum.
i’m buying a shirt for both my wife and i.
thanks to brad for taking up this cause.
I can’t think of a …
I can’t think of a less important issue than this.
…or public …
…or public schools, so people can learn to spell “morons”.
I am going to buy a …
I am going to buy a t-shirt. thanks for this!
Lame. Instead of …
Lame. Instead of donating money to a crappy house, donate it to starving kids or something, morans.
To everyone that …
To everyone that has helped by donating money or bidding on an auction item: Thank you! We are starting work on the house tomorrow. This has been fantastic. Thank to everyone involved for all they have done!
As soon as I can …
As soon as I can financially, I’m contributing to this. It’s deplorable what condition it’s in. It should be protected because it’s part of history.
Why does this lazy …
Why does this lazy guy need help to fix his own house. He owns it and lives in it.
Another brother looking for the hand out.
I dont think I am Clark Kent either…and I am not superman.
More liberal BS.
Tear it down…clean up Cleveland.
And another thing, …
And another thing, WHY isn’t ANYONE helping Bruce Wayne with WAYNE MANOR?! I mean, at the end of Batman Begins, Ra’s Al Guhl destroyed it so that is why he is slumming it in that swank penthouse in downtown Gotham for TDK. So, is anyone donating money to help rebuild Wayne Manor? I THINK NOT!
: )
While I agree that …
While I agree that Warner Bros. should feel compelled to contribute, because you’re right, they have made millions off this single character (at the expense of Siegel and Shuster, and at the expense of the principles for which the character stands for), but why begrudge people who want to see the house treated as it should be? Nobody is forced to contribute; what do you mean “our expense? This is not taxpayer money; it’s whoever wants to contribute. You’re the one who is pathetic!
When it shows all …
When it shows all the people saying “I am Superman” I thought I was going to puke.That was so gay. How many times have we seen that same thing applied to something else? Oh brother. I see multimillionaire Jerry Seinfeld made a comment about Superman. We all know what a huge Superman fan he is so where is he on this? How much has he contributed? Hell, he has enough money in his sofa to pay for ALL OF IT! This, my friends, is LAME! Don’t send these jerks money.I want it preserved but not this way.
Oops, correction, …
Oops, correction, its: Superman (It’s not easy), by Five For Fighting.
I have it saved wrong in my music collection.
The song is: It’s …
The song is: It’s not easy to be me, by Five For Fighting.
You can find the video of it here on Youtube
this vid brought me …
this vid brought me to tears especially cause my first comics were superman and my dad would explain to how siegel and schuster created him and that really is what made want to draw comics since i was like five!!
btw wats the song it really hits me!
whats the name i …
whats the name i remember this from when i wa like 4 or 5 reading superman with my dad..
Simple. It’s not …
Simple. It’s not about money. It’s about what was created on this spot. And that is bigger than any amount of money Warner’s or the Siegel/Shuster families could come up with. If you’re not down with charity or THIS charity, that’s cool. Some of us want to help, though. The idea born in this house sent many of us flying. I am Superman!
Who owns the house …
Who owns the house why don’t they do something with it, why blame the city of Cleveland unless they own it?
This is ridiculous! …
This is ridiculous! Where the is Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster’s families on this “save the Superman house” crap?! Or what about the multi billion dollar Warner Brothers? Let those jerks “SAVE” the Superman house! This is pathetic. There are FAR too many REAL causes to contribute to other than saving this house. Don’t get me wrong, I think it SHOULD be preserved but not at OUR expense! Not when WB has made MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars of the Superman character over the years. Pathetic!
good! cleveland is …
good! cleveland is a joke soemtimes.
WOW. That’s …
WOW. That’s noble of everyone involved, from actavist, to artist to fan. Although I have been a resident of Australia all my life and have never left this land, I was “born” in that first “Fortress Of Solitude”, as were George Reeve, Christopher Reeve and all of you.
“For all those who said I couldn’t do it. For all those who said I shouldn’t do it. For all those who said, ‘It’s Impossible.’ See you at the finish line.” – Christopher Reeve
Grow up, asshole.
Grow up, asshole.
