0:20 noise cuz we're in

0:23 Illinois correctly

0:26 pronunciated Illinois welcome everyone

0:28 Adam the woo here I'm very excited about

0:31 today because I am in route to a town I

0:34 have wanted to visit for quite some

0:43 time that is good some would even say

0:43 super

0:45 good it's my second channel daily Vlog

0:47 Channel It's The Daily World it has

0:51 officially happened I am now in the home

0:57 of the one and

0:58 only super

1:01 man

1:04 Metropolis I've arrived this guy is my

1:07 favorite superhero I think it's

1:08 something my dad instilled in me from a

1:10 very young age I love the 1978

1:13 Christopher ree movie and these are

1:15 really the only comic books I ever

1:17 collected and not to take anything away

1:19 from the Man of Steel but look at this

1:20 guy Big John kind of looks like kind of

1:25 looks like gassed

1:27 on in a WI a way gosh it disturbs me to

1:31 see you big John standing in front of

1:34 that store he's carrying bags of

1:38 groceries and he looks like he wants to

1:41 do it some more the name of the paper is

1:45 the

1:46 Metropolis

1:49 Planet this

1:52 is

1:54 awesome wonder if Jimmy Olsen is in

1:58 there the old theater is under vast

2:01 disrepair wonder if it ever showed any

2:03 of those Richard Donner Classics the

2:05 awning and the

2:07 neon still there and I'm wondering have

2:11 feature films ever been only 12

2:15 cents I I don't know have they even the

2:18 trash cans prominently display the name

2:22 and across the street that's right that

2:25 is the city hall of metropolis for real

2:30 I must say the streets look pretty

2:38 safe whoever's on patrol is doing a heck

2:38 of a job keeping the Riff

2:42 Raff off of whoa

2:45 no freaking way he he's here he's here I

2:51 thought maybe it was just a myth but the

2:56 himself is directly in front of me

3:00 holy cow yes now I don't want to admit

3:02 that I am a huge nerd but seeing this

3:06 I'm not even joking brings a slight

3:10 emotional tear to my eye down below the

3:16 words are stated very boldly truth

3:20 justice and the American way it's good

3:24 that you're on the job

3:26 pal it's good to see you also placed

3:30 here is this dedication prayer stating

3:33 the fact that he is an idol not to be

3:35 worshiped but as a symbol to be

3:38 celebrated and he is part of the

3:41 Cooperative Spirit of unity throughout

3:45 the community but

3:47 holy crap this is

3:55 amazing I'm losing my mind right

3:55 now just look at that that actually

3:59 exist

4:00 s do you think the police department

4:03 here has it slightly easier than other

4:06 places I mean they got they got the big

4:09 guy on patrol now at first glance you

4:12 might think that I am Superman but look

4:14 over my shoulder Clark Kent over there

4:18 so if you use your Columbo like research

4:20 skills you will realize that I am not

4:23 the real

4:24 Superman but I fooled you for a minute

4:27 didn't I he actually looks slightly

4:29 disra gruntled you mean Muggin son of

4:32 Jerelle and I kind of understand why

4:35 though cuz there has been a crime

4:37 committed someone has busted

4:41 out a window and I honestly feel bad for

4:45 criminal because they have done it to

4:48 the Super Museum I wouldn't want to be

4:51 that guy revenge is sweet we don't need

4:54 you officer Superman has this handled he

4:57 will hunt them down like a

5:01 dog got to wonder with foam boost

5:04 becoming a thing of the past is it more

5:07 difficult for him to change clothes now

5:08 that cell phones are very prominent does

5:11 he just keep returning to this one and

5:13 going in and out over and over and over

5:15 just to to be reminded of the good old

5:18 days I think

5:19 so maybe and just across town is a

5:24 bronze statue of Lois

5:27 Lane I've seen you on TV now I know

5:30 you're the original but would it hurt

5:32 your feelings if I told you I had a

5:33 little bit of a crush on Miss kid all

5:36 right I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll just go

5:41 I'll just

5:42 Maro she's she's very hurt that bank was

5:45 established in

5:48 1892 pretty fat whoa wait wait a second

5:51 Lex Luther must have been here there's

5:53 cryptonite here not cool man not cool if

5:57 the cape Crusader gets a whiff of this

5:59 it's it's bad news luckily he's over on

6:01 the other side of town that's a huge

6:03 piece I didn't even know they made

6:05 Kryptonite that big okay wait a second

6:07 even though this is the largest specimen

6:09 of its kind known to exist it looks like

6:11 scientists have rendered it powerless

6:14 and totally harmless to even quote

6:17 Superman but how do they know how do the

6:20 scientists know that this chunk is

6:24 harmless it could be a

6:27 ploy it could be a boy I wonder if this

6:31 scientist is bald and looks like Jean

6:34 Hackman I smell a rat I smell a

6:44 rat I don't know if this is going to

6:44 taste any better than normal but I had

6:46 to try it super do I am now about to go

6:50 inside the super Museum a super tribute

6:55 to the most popular flying hero of all

6:58 time even a Stang glass

7:00 rendition I need that in my life I take

7:03 that back this I need in my life even

7:06 more he is a pogo stick

7:10 version thank you oh my goodness I have

7:13 walked into complete overload and I'm

7:17 not complaining this town has embraced

7:19 him for many many years this was screen

7:22 used in the episode The Man in the lead

7:25 mask check that out and that is George

7:28 Reeves shirt and tie he wore that that's

7:33 incredible wow this is what he laid on

7:36 when he was doing the flying scenes and

7:38 the wires were attached this place

7:41 pretty much rules yes the

7:44 moleman classic he always wore this

7:47 particular style of belt well they have

7:50 one of his actual belts oh excuse me I

7:53 didn't know you were standing there my

7:54 apologies how disappointed do you think

7:57 this lion is he thought he was going to

7:58 mow down on his arm and bite through it

8:01 nope look how sad that lion looks now

8:03 there is just an incredible overload of

8:06 comics

8:07 toys and memorabilia it would take hours

8:12 to walk through here and look at every

8:14 little piece in detail and for future

8:17 reference any girl that I might possibly

8:19 date later on in life I'm not opposed to

8:22 you wearing these oh yeah there he is

8:25 Chris Reeves himself but check this out

8:28 also good little old Bo Jackson I think

8:32 I used to have that card now this is

8:34 insane from the 78 film this was

8:37 Christopher Reeves harness that he wore

8:40 underneath his

8:42 suit for those flying scenes and am I

8:45 looking at this correctly is this the

8:47 actual shirt that he wore that's the

8:51 sleeve from the shirt from that scene

8:54 there in the barn man I really love this

8:57 guy such a genuinely good

9:01 person and a

9:03 shame what happened to him remember in

9:07 Superman 2 when the astronauts are in

9:09 space and they encounter

9:11 Ursa that's a screen used astronaut suit

9:14 that was in the movie it's kind of hard

9:16 to get past the creepy wax face but this

9:19 is the suit that was used in the movie

9:23 this is the one that Chris Reeves

9:26 wore what the heck that is rad and some

9:31 of the actual crystals from The Fortress

9:34 of Solitude right there screen

9:38 used whoa that is cool this is the suit

9:41 Jimmy Olsen wore and this camera is made

9:44 out of foam and was used in the scene at

9:46 the Hoover Dam that right there was used

9:48 in that Hoover Dam scene this is the

9:50 actual backpack that young Clark used on

9:53 his travels is just sitting there on the

9:56 edge of this on the edge of this

9:59 shelf what the heck this place is a

10:03 complete Treasure Trove of goodness it's

10:06 really hard to wrap my head around how

10:10 much

10:11 memorabilia props and

10:14 wonderfulness is

10:16 inside the storefront huge thumbs up for

10:20 the super Museum in Metropolis Illinois

10:25 generation of fan you might be whether

10:27 it's the comic books TV show shows films

10:31 whatever it is this is worth checking

10:33 out dare I say even worth a pilgrimage
