Product Description:
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the latest illustrated handbook from Quirk hot on the heels of our bestselling Batman Handbook and just in time for the June 2006 release of Superman Returns.
The Superman Handbook shows readers how to channel their inner super hero and make the world a better place. No special powers are required (and you don't have to wear tights, either). Handy step-by-step instructions will teach you:
- How to knock out a villain
- How to stop a runaway car
- How to jump in a single bound
- How to find someone buried in an avalanche
- How to tackle a runaway goon
- How to enter a burning building
And much more, including a special section on practical skills (like 'How to fix a broken photocopier'). Complete with a mix of step-by-step and full-page illustrations, The Superman Handbook features everything you need to become a super hero. Up, up, and away!

I dunno who Scott Beatty is, but it's certain he has never tried anything in his book. The info on page 2 about "stopping bullets" is riddled with errors. Go ahead, give his advise a try. If you survive, sue him. If you don't, maybe you'll get a Darwin Award.
Guys like Scott Beatty should not be allowed to play with a word processor. By the way, SAPI stands for "Small Arms Protective Insert," not the nonsense he writes.

Being Superman isn't just wearing your underwear on the outside, putting on a cape and attaching a giant S to your chest. You've got to know how to knock out a villain, break down a door, tackle a runaway goon, tie up henchmen, dodge and block bullets, leap in a single bound, perform various rescues such as runaway cars, cars teetering over an edge, quicksand, wild animals, someone drowning or caught in a rip, trapped under heavy objects and many other things. This manual also teaches the reader ... Read More

While Superman may be the greatest superhero ever, this book shows how you can emulate his heroics. The intro states that while Supes has many superpowers, his greatest power is his ability and desire to help mankind. This isn't a book on the lines of others that are humorous in assuming the world of superpowers are real. This book is more of a good samaritan's survival guide on how you can help out yourself and others in certain types of emergencies such as saving a drowning victim, stopping a runaway ... Read More

The introduction dutifully notes that The Superman Handbook is a work of fiction. That it is, but still with honest to goodness, real, and accurate advice for aspiring heroes everywhere. Yes, you will learn how to block and dodge bullets, break down doors, rundown a bad guy, and rescue those in dire need from floods, fires, avalanches, and more...all without the aid of real super powers.
The book is cleverly written by Scott Beatty with art by John Delany, Dave Cooper and Terry Beatty. ... Read More

If you know nothing about Superman except that he wears red and blue tights and fights for truth, justice and the American way, you'll still enjoy this book. Like Beatty's equally brilliant Batman Handbook, the Superman Handbook explains all the techniques regular people can do to save lives. At the same time, it also gives you a primer on Superman's abilities, allies, villains and more, and it even teaches you how to speak Bizarro. So on that note, me hate this book and me not recommend it to no one. (If ... Read More
