I did.
I read the DC Comics "Reign of the Supermen" storyline during it's near-year story-arc in 1993. Truly, the most fun I've ever had reading a continuing comic book series. This was the debut of 'Steel', who was a strong character during the tale.
I felt obligated, out of my admiration for the "Reign of the Supermen" (a.k.a. "The Return of Superman") story, to see the 'Steel' movie. I was there for the opening show on opening day. - No one else was in the theater.
The 'Steel' movie was disapointing. It felt like a made-for-TV kind of film. It wasn't horrible, but it didn't really grab me either.
In 2007, I had the privilage to meet 'Steel' co-creator/original artist Jon Bogdanove. He's a heck of a nice guy.
When I read "The Reign of the Supermen", I had originally imagined a movie version of 'Steel' to be played by Avery Brooks who was Benjamin Sisko on "DS9". I thought his commanding presense and voice would have been ideal for the role at the time . . .
But hey, that's just me . . .
