Told from the perspective of the most influential creators, fan-favourite artists, leading actors and directors, and the foremost experts in pop culture, this four-hour special will chronicle the rise of the Marvel and DC superhero using original art, new animations, never-before seen archival assets and rare behind-the-scenes footage.
