LOOK UP IN THE SKY!! Superman Returns Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! Andrew & Tara CONTINUE Their Road to James Gunn's Superman giving their Superman Returns Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to the Man of Steel's world in Bryan Singer's Superman Returns (2006). After a five-year absence, Clark Kent / Superman (Brandon Routh, Dodgeball, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) returns to Earth only to discover that his love, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth, Blue Crush, 3000 Miles to Graceland), has moved on—and even has a young son, Jason. As Clark grapples with heartbreak, he uncovers a nefarious plot by Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey, American Beauty, The Usual Suspects) to use stolen Kryptonian technology to reforge the world in his image. Rounding out the stellar cast are James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men, Enchanted) as Lois's fiancé Richard White, Parker Posey (the “Queen of Indies” in Party Girl, Best in Show) as tabloid editor Kitty Kowalski, Sam Huntington (Disturbia, I Am Number Four) as earnest photographer Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella (Oscar-nominated for Frost/Nixon) as Perry White, and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor) as Richard's brother, Stanford White. The spirit of Superman's father, Jor-El, is heard in archive audio of Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), tying this chapter back to the character's origins. Don't miss Tara & Andrew's breakdown of the film's most iconic moments—from the breathtaking sequence where Superman slows time to save Lois and Jason in that penthouse fall, to the jaw-dropping finale atop Lex's oceanic fortress, where Superman confronts a golden statue come to life. We'll discuss the soaring flight through Lois's apartment, the emotional “son of Krypton” reveal, and how Superman Returns balances nostalgia with new stakes for Earth's greatest hero.

This week, Shat the Movies finally kneels before Zod—and listener Chris Lloyd—by reviewing Superman II (1980), the sequel that gave us Terrence Stamp's immortal sneer, Margot Kidder's bathrobe thirst, and Christopher Reeve's blue-eyed beefcake perfection. This episode dives headfirst into the Donner vs. Lester debate, asks how much ejaculate the Fortress of Solitude can handle, and questions Lois Lane's true intentions once Clark Kent drops the glasses—and the powers. Gene and Big D examine everything from Superman's bizarre morality and dubious revenge tactics to the wildly impractical Phantom Zone prison system. They also debate if memory-wiping kisses and cellophane logos deserve a place in superhero canon and why Perry White's newsroom features a threatening photo of Bill Cosby. Whether you're team “Mormon Dad Superman” or “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,” this episode delivers laughs, awkward truths, and more than a few inappropriate questions about Kryptonian sex. Plot Summary After banishing Kryptonian rebels General Zod, Ursa, and Non to the Phantom Zone, Superman continues his life as Clark Kent—until a hydrogen bomb explosion in space releases the trio. Landing on Earth, they gain Superman's powers from the yellow sun and quickly set their sights on global domination. Meanwhile, Lois Lane grows suspicious of Clark's identity, prompting him to reveal his secret and sacrifice his powers to be with her. But when Zod and his cronies begin wreaking havoc—and Lex Luthor joins their side—Superman must reclaim his abilities and protect humanity. The final showdown brings the villains to the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman uses brains over brawn to save the world, while also redefining the meaning of romantic boundaries with a memory-erasing kiss.

In this episode, we dive deep into the ultimate superhero showdown: Superman vs. Batman. Who really has the upper hand—an unstoppable alien with godlike powers, or a genius strategist with endless resources and grit? We break down their strengths, weaknesses, iconic battles, and what makes this rivalry one of the most compelling in comic book history. Whether you're Team Supes or Team Bats, this one's for you.

Imagine this: You're standing on a Metropolis street corner when the sky suddenly darkens. Electronic billboards flicker and die, replaced by the stern face of a man with a neatly trimmed beard and military bearing. His eyes burn with cold authority as he addresses the people of Earth not as equals, but as subjects."I am General Zod, commander of the forces of Krypton. For too long, your primitive world has harbored one of our citizens, the son of Jor-El. Return him to me, and your lives may continue with minimal disruption. Resist, and you will understand the true meaning of subjugation."Before the broadcast ends, a sonic boom splits the air. A figure in military-style black armor descends from the clouds, landing with such force that the pavement fractures beneath his boots. The crowd scatters in panic, but you're frozen in place, face to face with the Kryptonian general himself.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Imagine this: You're a hardened criminal in Metropolis, the final member of a crew that just pulled off a daring bank heist. Your partners have already been apprehended, but you've managed to slip away with a duffel bag containing millions. You duck into an alley, heart pounding against your ribcage, certain you've evaded capture.A gust of wind rustles the newspapers at your feet. Strange – there wasn't even a breeze a moment ago. You look up to find the alley entrance empty, but when you turn back, he's there. Standing before you, arms crossed over that iconic S-shield, his red cape gently billowing despite the absence of wind. Superman.His presence is overwhelming – six feet and several inches of Kryptonian muscle, radiating an aura of power that makes your knees weak. But it's his eyes that truly terrify you. They're kind, understanding, and that's somehow worse than anger. Those eyes see everything – the choices that led you here, the fear driving you, the potential for redemption you're squandering.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.  No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender.  With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters. Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight.  From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.  Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening. It's the beginning of a new year, which also means the beginning of this year's theme on the Batman by the Numbers podcast; World's Finest.  Yes, this year we celebrate the other big DC superhero, the one and only Man of Steel, Superman!  As this year will not only bring a new DC Universe to film, but another massive Superman film from James Gunn, so we got to give everyone's favorite Kryptonian his due. As this is a Batman podcast though, we'll also be focusing on how Batman and Superman work, or don't work together.  As we all know, they have differing philosophies on how to fight crime and corruption.  In kicking off this year's theme, we dug up a gem from the late 90s that explores this theme rather well; The Batman/Superman Movie, otherwise known as the three-episode arc entitled “World's Finest.”   This first meeting of the animated series versions of Batman and Superman gives us everything; The Joker.  Lex Luthor.  Conflict between the heroes.  Harley Quinn.  Giant robots.  What else do you need? Daniel and Kris are joined once again by podcasting director of the pop break, Alex Marcus, as they dive into every detail imaginable with this movie, including the eternal question every DC fan has asked?  Who comes out on top – Batman or Superman. If you're in need of not only a Batman animated series throwback, but a Superman one as well, this is the episode for you. Also…find out why Alex Marcus has a childhood grudge with this movie that still hasn't healed!

“Silly old sod* (*General Zod)” The panel of peril emerge from their fortress of solitude (the toilet), wherein they have lost quite a lot of their own power (…). With their last ounce of strength, they pop themselves onto a comfy chair to watch this week's film Superman II (Richard Lester, 1980). Superman/Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) has settled into life in Metropolis in fine style maintaining his dual identity of clumsy reporter and messiah figure with aplomb. But when he chucks a bomb into space and releases his father's arch enemies, led by General Zod (Terence Stamp), his life is about to become an absolute disaster area! Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxD8RlGnP64 ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** As (bad) luck would have it, Kal-El has forsaken his powers in a grand gesture of love towards the ever-spunk ace reporter Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Needless to say, that makes planet Earth easy pickings for Zod and the gang, who are joined by snitch extraordinaire Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) as he guides Kryptonian crims towards revenge for their imprisonment! Is the Earth doomed, or can the Man of Steel return to save the day? What did the heck panel think of this week's movie? How in all that is holy can they improve upon the villain's masterplan? And which evil schemer will be christened this week's most diabolical? https://bsky.app/profile/diabolicalpod.bsky.social https://twitter.com/diabolicalpod https://www.instagram.com/diabolicalpod/ https://www.facebook.com/diabolicalpod Email diabolicalpod@gmail.com

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Dan Greenfield (13th Dimension) dig into the 1980 film SUPERMAN II, a beloved entry in the franchise despite — or perhaps because of? — being the product of two directors' visions. A combination of original director Richard Donner's more grounded, earnest approach and replacement Richard Lester's campier leanings, the movie follows Christopher Reeve's Superman as he relinquishes his powers to begin a romance with Lois Lane (Margot Kidder)...just as Kryptonian trio of Zod, Non, and Ursa escape the Phantom Zone. The specific focus of this episode is the official theatrical cut, though Anthony and Dan do discuss the long-fabled Donner Cut, which was finally released in 2006 — and offer their final word on what the "best" version of SUPERMAN II truly is.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

“Toss a coin to your Witcher…”Netflix's The Witcher series, adapted from the popular series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski and the critically acclaimed video games, is full of striking visuals and unique takes on traditional fantasy and sword/sworcery concepts. As embodied by Henry Cavill, the series protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, is a distinctive, stoic action hero. Cavill, of course, is no stranger to playing superhumans, but playing a Witcher is a little different than playing a Kryptonian. Most notably, a Witcher's powers aren't naturally born with them, but rather brought out by intense physical, magical, and even chemical means.One of the most iconic visuals in the Netflix series is when Geralt's pupils fully dilate, giving his eyes an unsettling, all-black appearance. This is to symbolize the change brought about by one of the Witcher's potions, which enhance his already considerable abilities, a key one being the ability to see in the dark.Sure, The Witcher is fully in the realm of fantasy, full of ideas that would never make it in the scientific world. But considering the remarkable structure and function of the eye, and the broad spectrum of vision that exists throughout the animal kingdom, the idea of adapting and expanding our existing senses doesn't seem so far-fetched. So we're tackling night vision in the world of The Witcher this episode, and you might be surprised by what we found.You can also check this episode out on our YouTube page! FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! How Eyes WorkBefore we can get into the really fun stuff, it helps to just have a little bit of an understanding of how the human eye is structured and why it works the way it does. This is the most detailed explanation we found that also still makes sense for a layperson.Night VisionTo start, let's take a look at the upper limit of human night vision capabilities. We're honestly pretty unspectacular compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, but it's good to get a baseline of where our eyes are at in this area. The other thing to consider is how electronic night vision works, because this will give us a better understanding of how light behaves and how it's perceived. But then take a look at the biology of animals with superior night vision and think about how this might map on to the human eye. It's a long shot, but it helps support the idea as explored in The Witcher.Averted Vision“Our dark sensitivity is way greater than most people realize.” The technique Hakeem describes to see more faintly lit objects is explained in considerable detail here.Henry Cavill's Witcher Transformation“I know there've been a lot of questions about cat's eyes and all sorts online. For me, his eyes had to look like normal human eyes unless he's staring into direct sunlight, where he has the ability to contract his pupils into a cat's eye so he can gain an advantage against an opponent in direct sunlight. I wanted it to look slightly terrifying, but also a little enthralling at the same time.Read the full interview with Henry Cavill here!SUGGESTED VIEWING For some of the points specifically discussed in this episode, check out The Witcher season 1 episode 1 “The End's Beginning”, season 1 episode 3 “Betrayer Moon”, and season 1 episode 8 “Much More.” Obviously, we suggest you watch all three seasons, because the show is excellent. But you should also check out the prequel anime, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, which details the rigorous and painful transformation process it takes to create a Witcher!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?From fantasy fantasy to space fantasy, have you checked out our episode on Star Wars' lightsabers yet?

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's… another episode of Play Comics! Learn such things as: Does anyone really need to be told who Superman is anymore?

Welcome to the third episode of It All Comes Back to Superman Series 2, the very irregular reaffirmation of my Kryptonian faith. This time out I'm hopping into the Time Bubble and heading back to 1994 to look at the DC Comics event Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. And I am not alone. Joining me to talk about the series is none other than the writer/penciller on that series Dan Jurgens! Dan was nice enough to spend about an hour with me to talk about how Zero Hour came about, what it was like writing and drawing five issues that were coming out weekly while also juggling all of the characters and books that were connected to the event. Dan also tells me why some of the promotional artwork and the artwork created for the distributors that existed at the time isn't reprinted in the collected editions that have been published in the last few years, why the Justice Society was taken off the table during the story, his favorite parts of the story, and how much he got paid to draw the cover to the zero issue. After that we discuss the Zero Month issues of the Superman books and where Kenny Braverman came from. Finally, Dan talks a bit about the Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special that is coming out on the day this episode is dropping! I wanted to thank Dan for spending some time with me and being so forthcoming and open with his answers.
