...after the Sept. 11 attacks. The balls and T shirts and golf umbrellas in the Belfry souvenir shop still say "Ryder Cup: 1927-2001," as do the flags, the websites and even the wrappers on the mints in the hospitality tents. The Belfry's Brabazon course, built on old potato fields in the '70s, is also much the same, including the famed 18th hole, with that ball-swallowing, dream-dashing lake guarding the green.

He mixes traditional superhero tropes like broad shoulders and rippling muscles with absurd caricature elements like giant feet and hands. Lex Luthor looks like a Mr. Potato-Head who wears nothing but boxer shorts and hi-top Converse sneakers. Miller shares top billing with the colorist, Lynn Varley, who mixes digitized effects with traditional coloring in clever ways. One scene has Superman standing amid the ruble of Metropolis, where even the colors have broken down into mottled, streaky...
