WELCOME TO SUPERMANIA/CAPEDWONDER EUROPE (3.0!)
Thank you for joining me for this special re-launch of the site to coincide with the 46th anniversary of the release of Superman: The Movie in cinemas..!
Its hard to believe that its been 14 years since the debut of this small, yet ambitious blog dedicated to the Christopher Reeve Legacy. In that time we have come full circle from multiple re-releases of the classic films in differing formats, new opportunities to view them on the big screen (as they were meant to be seen!) live concert performances across the world and now, with the release of SUPER/MAN: The Christopher Reeve Story, the closing chapter of our heroes tale.
Or so it would seem – as meanwhile, through this site and many more, we strive to keep the memory of the Real Man Of Steel alive, none more so than capedwonder.com – where sitemaster Jim Bowers has carried the torch for over 20 years with the blessing of the late Richard Donner himself. With such pedigree and dedication it seemed almost inevitable that CW and SUPERMANIA would combine our strengths at some point, and with the formation of Capedwonder Europe a few years ago the site’s future was secured. Jim would go one better to form the Capedwonder Network, uniting SuperFans from all over the globe, with representatives from Canada, South America and the Philippines, with more to come.
Capedwonder Europe’s evolution over the years has been the gift that keeps on giving thanks to its loyal fanbase and support as I gained new followers on my expansion to YouTube, Instagram, and most recently, the Facebook group Restore Superman IV (a topic which continues to cause controversy to this day!). Its also been a privilege to meet so many fans in person courtesy of Alexei Lambley-Steel’s SUPEREVENTS UK, where we hope to present more exciting opportunities in the future.
Now that CWE has upgraded to the same server as CW, it hopefully should be free from all of the glitches and security issues that plagued it previously – so please update your browsers and get ready for all-new super-content going forward into 2025 and beyond!
Thank you for taking the journey with us. We remain, as ever, all part of the same team.
– Goodnight!
