The show, commissioned to coincide with the Met Opera's premiere of *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay*, reimagines superheroes for the 21st century, moving away from capes and spandex toward more grounded, satirical, and human figures. Except for two works by Spiegelman, all pieces were created specifically for the exhibition, which spreads across the opera house's lobbies and foyers.
