"Believers in truth, justice and the American Way beware: Rossen's tale of showbiz Superman, from his radio debut in 1940 to the bloated blockbuster Superman Returns in 2006, is likely to disillusion even the most idealistic fans... Solid research and crisp prose make this Superman book a winner.”
- Kirkus Book Reviews

“Rossen is comprehensive on the ups and downs of the Man of Steel’s cinematic career, supplying plenty of juicy detail…Essential for pop-culture collections.”
-Mike Tribby, Booklist

"In expanding his piece into a book, Rossen presents a panoramic view of the business and creative processes... with the demystification of just about everything, some might actually benefit from its revelations...for those who seek to engage in the business of developing intellectual properties, cautionary tales abound."
- Richard Pachter, Miami Herald

"Highly entertaining...Rossen's brisk writing style and concise chronology put the whole fascinating mess into its properly warped perspective...an addictive 301 pages, it reads faster than a speeding bullet and leaps other insider tomes in a single bound."
- Nick Chordas, Columbus Dispatch

"[A] clever and compelling behind-the-scenes story...plump with new information about Hollywood's love-hate relationship with the one true superhero."
- Allan Walton, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

- Ric Meyers, ComicMix

"If the opening notes of John Williams’ iconic score to 1978’s Superman makes the hair on your arms stand on end, or if you just flock to true-life stories of Hollywood egos run rampant, Superman vs. Hollywood will fascinate you. It may be the best entertainment-oriented book of 2008."
- Rod Lott, Bookgasm
