This movie barcode compresses all 121 minutes of Superman into a single image: every shot is averaged to one colour and laid down as a vertical stripe, left to right, opening frame to end credits. Directed by C. Whitmore in 2008 and framed at 2.00:1, the superhero palette shows up as bands of colour you can read at a glance.
