Young Superman is a 1992 comic book movie starring Brandon Pratt, Michelle Botkin and Ed Stallsworth, based on the Superman character from DC Comics. Despite a massive ad campaign and a huge budget, the movie was a spectacular box office failure and was critically reviled, leading it to be called "one of the biggest movie disasters of all time," and significantly embarrassing Dooley Brothers studios, which avoided the Superman series for the next decade. The film killed the careers of both Pratt and Botkin, who were early-90's teen idols, and dampened enthusiasm for comic book movies that had become popular in the early 1990's, arguably helping kill the Tim Burton I Am Batman project slated to be released a year and a half later.
