Step aside Elon. Lex Luthor is here. He is badass and out to save the planet. It's an interesting contrast really. Elon Musk has his sights set on colonies on Mars and continuing to aggressively exploit the resources of earth in service to that, and other goals. On the other hand, the supervillain that most Americans and much of the world know as Lex Luthor, the nemesis of Superman, may be turning over a new leaf. "May be" is the operative phrase though. Nevertheless you can't help but notice that Luthor's bottom line is saving the planet that we currently call home rather than hastening a move into the cosmos.

EPISODE 8 - A Sharped Dressed Man - “They Are A Little Sweaty”Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Let's talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 8 - A Sharp Dressed ManDirected by:Michael Kudlitz (Lex Luthor)Written By:Brent Fletcher and Todd HelbingThe Apple TV and Imdb description is: Luthor challenges Lois to a live telecast debate, though not everything is as it seems; John Henry and Clark face a troubling possibility.Henry's Notes:Luthor doing an interview, fitted for suit and CLEAN SHAVEN. He looks like Lex Luthor. Great revealMilton reference again. “After today the whole world will be on your side” with a Luthor smileSo the DOD hangs out at his house which is different than usual?So now Clark doesn't wear the glasses and I miss it!Cancer call back. “They are a little sweaty”This is really good. Not just pretending this story never happened. THis is what really happens in families dealing with Cancer.YAY!!! Lois is Cancer free. BAZOOMBAS is back!Why haven't Nat and John Henry cleaned up their bunker?Yes! Steel covering for Superman. That's how it's supposed to go! I love seeing Steel not just blast things but actually rescue someone. TOM CAVANAGH IS G GORDON GODFREY!!!!!!This is amazing. My absolute favorite guy. This is great that Luthor is going on tv and spinning/lying. This is so classic. I love this. Oh my god, even spinning why he brought Lexcorp to Smallville. Clark is right trying to get Lois not take the bait. I like that he had a solution and not just a don't do it. “Let's go to the office”“Now that everybody knows I can fly”Candice broke up with Jonathan and my reaction was “haha good.”While I don't care that much about Candice, the reason she broke up with Jonathan makes sense. But I definitely don't care about a rom-com last second confession of love“I'm the Costanza of relationships”So Amanda is in love with Lex. There's precedence for unrequited love with Lex. I'm dying to know who MILTON is. At this point they won't stop talking about Milton. “Feels like we're working in a fishbowl”What do you think about Lois' thing being not only the spelling thing but she swears in her writing?“We flew here together”  Interesting that Clark is losing his hearing.Do you think the series will end with Clark losing all his powers, being a regular guy and the boys taking over?Oh that's really interesting that he has heart disease. Clark now has basically what Lois had last season.Is Luthor just absolutely disgusted with humanity? Or does he have some heightened senses or something? His spidey sense is tingling.Do Lois and Amanda have history?Love hearing Tom Cavanagh say, “Superman, Superman”I love that he did the glasses bit. Lois is on defense, this is a set up duh. “I think the circumstances speak for themselves”Why are they obsessed with Jaimie Kennedy the mid-2000s comedian who maybe also had a prank show?“It's being a carnival barker”Brainiac time baby. Now we're getting into the endgame. Will we get the full blown version? It's kind of weird that we've never seen this guy before and now he's an ultimate mastermind. This is an amazing action sequence. Love the heat vision from both sides. That was nutsSuperman keeps his wedding ring on now. Nice touch. Confirmed and canonical in this show that the ONLY way they got news about Superman was from Lois?Damn, Godfrey just made an enemy in Lois Lane. Sexy LexyLex Luthor ISN'T a computer genius“Mr. Gorman from our world” - That's a GUS GORMAN reference from Superman III. God I love this show.So Superman, is “terminal.”Great shot of the family together at the tableIf Milton is going to be taken seriously, we've gotta get some back story and motivation.“Now that's a killer suit” - they better paint it green and purple otherwise what's the point.Is Superman dying or is it that his powers are failing?

EPISODE 6 - When the Lights Come On - “Stop Worrying About Your Hair”Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Let's talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 6 - When The Lights Come OnDirected by:Ian SamoilWritten By:Kristi Korzec (Teleplay)Brent Fletcher (Story)The Apple TV and Imdb description is: Luthor plans to move LuthorCorp to Smallville, but finds opposition in Lana; Sarah faces a difficult decision; Clark confronts Luthor face-to-face.HENRY'S NOTES:Luthor temper tantrum. I dunno, I know this was supposed to seem intense but it was just silly to me and it made me laugh.Luthor confirms he has an endgame as he gazes on the GazetteFun that Jon is doing the superhero thing and I like that mom and dad finally told Jordan to get a jobSalt and Pepper patch in his hair (Love that) - it's funny because Tyloer has a lot of gray in his beard and it looks awesome. Do you think this is a Superman thing or a regular middle aged vanity thing? Interesting that he's concerned about Superman going gray when every comic book reader knows he looks great with some grayLuthor vs Gretchen is a great face offFunny that Jon has the Wally West eating thing. Especially because traditionally Superman doesn't need to eat. Ok so now the coach knows the secret and it's played for comedy? But “Aidy” knows too. They're definitely going for the “town knows and is protecting him” thing. Lois and Clark don't even seem that concerned.I'm starting to come around on it because of the way the town is reacting to Luthor.Lana going toe to toe with Luthor is A+I take exception to Sara calling Luthor a “bald headed loser” as if those two things were connected. To quote Larry David, “that's a hate crime, we're a group.”Sara wants to go abroad in high school? I mean not unheard of but seems odd. Nice Varsity Blues referenceLana getting beat up by Luthor is spot on. Love that Sarah fucked Otis up with a baseball bat. Good idea Kyle putting bats under beds.Clark vs Lex, let's go. Lex grabbed a red sun inhibitor. Good idea. Unhinged Tyler is new and I love seeing this range from him. Let's go Clark. Beat his ass. Who taught Clark how to fight?! I'm sorry that was a really cool fight scene. Loved seeing that side of Clark/Tyler.Full Mortal CombatHas Sarah ever flown with the boys before?“Get you a killer suit” with a great pull out shot and tease of the Lexcorp building.  Follow us on twitter at https://x.com/SupermanPalsPod!Check out a video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/@gonzo3249!

I mean we all know it probably won't last and I'll be back to writing rubbish marketing drivel again for Lexcorp...ah well onwards and upwards I guess. News Nuge digs up some news on Blue Beetle's role in James Gunn's take on the DCU.  Monts, as usual, has no news....the lazy git. Week that was Train Pending Alice in Borderland The Flash Blue Beetle Main Nuge wanted me to leave off mentioning this whole section because the cry baby couldn't go. Being the professional I am I will do no such thing so join Monts as he reports back from the 2023 Arthur C. Clarke Awards.

In this minute of Batman v Superman, Lex Luthor discovers a chilling message... and the beloved symbol Batman killed to send it.

This week on Superman: The Animated Podcast, I talk about S02E23 – Heavy Metal. John Henry Irons, an ex-employee of LexCorp, helped Luthor develop the powerful suit of armor from the episode Prototype. He has lately been developing a new, advanced suit for himself. When Superman is caught off guard from the reappearance of Metallo, Irons must suit-up as Steel to help the Man of Steel. You can find the podcast on all of your favourite podcatchers.

This week on Superman: The Animated Podcast, I talk about S02E21 – Prototype. LexCorp and John Henry Irons design a powerful prototype armor suit for the Metropolis SCU, which Lex hopes will make Superman’s services unneeded. The SCU officer who pilots the suit, Sergeant Mills, proves a useful partner to Superman at first, but the suit soon corrupts the officer’s mind, making him violently unstable. Irons is discouraged over the failure of his project, but Superman convinces him that it would be a valuable tool if Irons can find a way to stabilize it.

Batman V Superman was an incredibly divisive film. People tend to love it or hate it, and always with passion. I'm excited to look back on this movie as part of my journey through the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Love it or hate it, there's one thing we can all agree on with this movie - there's plenty to talk about. So much, in fact, that I had to split this discussion into two podcasts. So today we cover part 1, up until the explosion in the senate building. Next week (yes, just one week) we'll continue with the rest of the film. ----more---- Transcript   Welcome to Nerd Heaven I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd This is episode 28 of the podcast Today I’m continuing my look at the DC extended universe with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. And I am, of course, talking about the ultimate edition.Because what other version would you watch?   The description on IMDB reads Fearing that the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the Man of Steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs. The movie was written by Chris Terrior and David S. Goyer. It was directed by Zach Snyder And it first released on the 23rd of March 2016.   As always, this podcast contains full spoilers for the movie, So let’s talk about Batman v superman   The poetic voiceover that opens the movie tells us right away that this is going to be a more literary movie than we might have been expecting. This movie starts in a familiar place. With the murder of Bruce wayne’s parents. As all movies that introduce a new Batman do. While we’ve seen this many times before, this was totally the right way to start. Because this moment in Bruce’s life is what this movie, thematically, is all about.   The intercutting between the murder itself and Bruce running away during the funeral and finding the cave beneath his family’s estate, while the incredible music by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL plays, is very very effective. Yes, just like the last one, this movie has an incredible soundtrack.   As young Bruce is carried upward by the bats, it’s clear that this is very symbolic. Another indication that this is going to be a deeper movie than the average popcorn superhero flick.   Bruce is carried upward toward the light, a light that he refers to as a beautiful lie. Perhaps because Bruce lives his life in darkness and isn’t really capable of believing that there is any light in this world.   Then we jump forward to the climactic battle during Man of Steel, and see those terrible events from Bruce Wayne’s perspective, which I think was a truly inspired choice. And already, I’m loving this version of Bruce Wayne. This is a Billionaire CEO who runs headlong into danger because his employees are at risk. He cares about his people. Having seen so many examples of the stereotypical evil business manager, I love this!  This scene is an important counterpoint to the equivalent scene in Man of Steel, because we get to see it all happen from the perspective of a normal person, well, as normal as Bruce Wayne can be. He’s seeing an alien invasion. He’s seeing two inhuman creatures of incredible power having a fight which is destroying the city. Brue is seeing the human cost firsthand. He’s seeing the ordinary people that are getting hurt as a consequence of the conflict between Kal-El and Zod. Man of Steel did a good job of demonstrating consequences, but this scene takes it orders of magnitude further. Seriously, the devastation of this attack must have bankrupted the economy of Metropolis. Bruce is truly heroic. And he comes within millimetres of death when he dives under the falling metal to save that little girl. When he asks her where her mum is, and she points up at the destroyed building, Our hearts break.   But as Bruce looks up, from the rubble of the destroyed lives, he sees those two aliens, still gripped in battle, smashing through buildings, his eyes burn with righteous anger. Earth never asked for these aliens to come here. Look at all the devastation they’ve caused. But we see that devastation most strongly, not in the skyscrapers, one after another that continue to fall, but in the eyes of one little girl who will never again see her mother. This is powerful stuff. And I have to say that Ben Affleck’s acting is wonderful in this moment. That look he gives Superman and Zod. It says so much. A lot of people were concerned about Ben Affleck playing Batman. This is nothing new. People seem to doubt every new actor that gets announced to play Batman. Well, it didn’t take long for Mr. Affleck to put aside people’s doubts. He was a fantastic Bruce Wayne, and he was a fantastic Batman. But we’ll talk more about that as we move through the story.   18 months later. It’s not surprising that the wreckage of the world engine in the Indian Ocean would be an area of great interest to tourists. Especially divers. But also to those hoping to find advanced technology. And that’s how we are introduced to Kryptonite. There was some present on the ship. Makes sense. This alien mineral probably played an important part in the terraforming process, or maybe it powered the ship.   Now we’re in Nairomi Africa. And we meet the DCEU’s version of Jimmy Olsen. He’s not in the movie for long. In fact, his identity was never even established in the theatrical cut, but I had my suspicions.    This is a very different take on Jimmy. We quickly learn that he’s not just a photographer. He’s actually a CIA agent.    There is a civil war in this country. America is neutral. But men of power obey neither policy or principal, the terrorist leader says. No one is neutral.   Jimmy is discovered. He’s here to propose something to the terrorists, but before he can make his offer, he’s shot. So much for Jimmy Olsen. You couldn’t dream up a more unconventional version of the character. I did notice Jimmy’s absence from Man of Steel. I wonder if they thought he just didn’t fit in with this more serious version of Superman. I mean, the problem with Jimmy is, he’s even more nerdy than Clark. This version is a tough as nails spy. I don’t mind that change, but I’d have liked to have seen a lot more of him.   Apparently, the Americans were planning an attack on these terrorists, but the surviving guys on the ground are trying to call it off because there are civilians in the area. Not just Lois, but locals. This whole sequence is an exciting way to re-introduce us to Lois, and show us just how tough she is, and maybe how fearless, even reckless, she’s becoming since she met Superman, but it is very important to the story later on. The teactrical cut majorly dropped the ball on this. So much was lost that none of it made sense.   For some reason, the attack wasn’t called off, but Superman prevents the missile, saving Lois and the other civilians in the area.   But in saving these innocents, Superman allowed the terrorists to live. And a lot of other innocents got killed in the crossfire of the subsequent battle. A woman named Kahina Ziri is raising awareness of this.   Senator Finch says, The world has been so caught up with what Superman can do, nobody has asked what he should do. And that’s a very valid question.   She’s holding Superman responsible for these deaths. He took it upon himself to intervene in this situation, but did his actions make things better or worse? Superman has incredible powers. That’s a huge responsibility. He can’t know what all the consequences are of every action he takes. Yet taking those actions is so easy for him. It’s a dangerous position to be in. Quite a scary one, to be honest. There’s a LOT riding on his shoulders. He can’t afford to make a misstep. Can you imagine living with that kind of pressure?   In the next scene, we get to see Batman in action. This movie presents a Batman who is older and more established. He’s been Batman for a long time. We’ve never seen a Batman so established on screen before, and I was all for it. We’d just come off the Dark Knight trilogy. A series that showed us Batman’s early career. There was no need to go and re-visit all that again. This was something new and interesting. And it made sense that Batman had been active as a small-time vigilante for a long time. Not yet famous. He hasn’t yet made a major impact on the world.  This movie takes Batman up to a whole new level. By the end, he’ll be a hero concerned with the fate of the world, not just local crime in Gotham. We also get to see that this older hardened batman is quite harsh. He brands crooks with his mark. Ouch! This is not a Batman you want to be on the wrong side of. This is the classic Batman who is pursued by the police just as much as the villains he battles against.   Lois finds a bullet embedded in her notebook, from the terrorist attack. I like how this movie gives all our characters their own quests. It takes a while, but they all link up and weave into one story. Lois and Clark are well established as a couple that are very much in love. When I first saw this I was surprised by that. In the previous movie, we saw Clark and Lois kiss for the first time, after they’d been through a lot. They were at the very beginning of a mutual attraction that might lead to a relationship over time. I thought we’d see that relationship develop. Instead, it all happened off screen. Looking back, I realise this was the right decision. It’s been 18 months. This wasn’t insta-love. We just didn’t see it all happen. And we don’t need to see the angst of Clark slowly wearing Lois down over time. Been there. Done that. Much better to just have them together so we can tell a story about two people in an established mature relationship.   Clark doesn’t care what people say about him. He did what he believes was right to protect the woman he loves. Despite what people are saying, he didn’t kill anyone.  Lois is concerned. Something doesn’t add up and she wants to know the truth. Because she’s Lois Lane. There’s a cute moment where they’re all serious and then Clark gives Lois a look, and she gives him a look, and he jumps in the bath with her. It’s a fun moment between a loving couple. To those critics who say this movie was devoid of anything light, happy, optimistic, or humorous, I would just point you straight to this scene. At this moment, Clark and Lois are very happy. And yes. Superman smiles. Honestly, I don’t know when it became gospel that the way to judge a Superman movie was how much the man smiles, but this movie has him smile when it’s appropriate.   We meet Alfred. And once again, this is a very different interpretation of the character than what we’ve seen on screen before. Jeremy Irons plays a strong battle-hardened Alfred who is equally capable of keeping up with Batman in the fight against crime as he is in serving drinks to Bruce Wayne. I really like this Alfred. Not just because he’s capable, but he serves as Bruce’s moral conscience. At least, he tries to. So very different from Michael Caine’s portrayal in the Dark Knight Trilogy (which I also loved). That was more of a father figure. You don’t mess with perfection. You do something different. Something equally cool. And Alfred speaks gibberish into Batman’s voice distorter to test it. Again this is a nice comedic moment. See, this movie DOES have humour in it. This moment made me laugh out loud. It’s …. Such a British moment. We aussies appreciate the British sense of humour, but I suspect the American critics who trashed this movie don’t. But this is how I like my humour. Fitting naturally into the story, where and when it is appropriate. It doesn’t feel forced or fake. Bruce is investigating someone called the White Portugeuse.   Alfred is concerned that Batman is becoming too violent. Too cruel, after seeing the branding in a newspaper article.   Brue points out that they’re criminals. They always have been. And this is true. Batman is a vigilante. He operates outside of the law. That’s a crime. Now you can argue that in a city like Gotham, where a corrupt police force is incapable of protecting the citizens from especially heinous crime bosses, that Batman is necessary. But we do need to acknowledge that Batman is a criminal. I kinda like the way Bruce owns this reality here. But things have changed. Alfred has seen the way Bruce has hardened since Superman appeared. Since the battle over metropolis. He talks about the rage that is slowly building in Bruce. That turns good men cruel. This line is thematically important to the movie.This whole idea of good men becoming bad is a major idea explored by the story. Here, Alfred is specifically talking about Bruce. There’s no denying his anger is making him more cruel than he used to be.   And now we meet our new Lex Luthor. And yet again, this is a very different interpretation of Lex. And while many people, even some who liked this movie, hated Jessie Eisenburg’s Lex, I have to say, I’m with it. This is a modern Lex Luthor. This is a young millennial business tycoon. This Lex has often been likened to Mark Zukerberg, the creator and CEO of Facebook. It’s a version of Lex that works in today’s world. But it doesn’t take long to see that Lex, while brilliant, is a little unhinged. And scarily, he’s the one in possession of the Kryptonite that was discovered in the wreckage of the world engine.   They tested the Kyptonite one General Zod’s corpse. They know it is lethal to Kryptonians. Lex has some reasonable things to say here. They’ve just survived an alien invasion. The only reason that humanity isn’t extinct is because Superman saved them. Now what if there’s more Kryptonians out there? What if there are other powerful beings or meta-humans, as he calls them. To be honest, humanity would be insanely foolish not to be looking for ways to defend themselves after their last encounter. Yes, Superman has proven himself a friend to earth (although Lex doesn’t believe this) but you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If they have a weapon of their own, they don’t have to rely on “the kindness of monsters” as Lex puts it. And it’s hard to argue with that. What if something happens to Superman and he can no longer protect us? Or what if, God-forbid, we need to be protected from HIM? Can we rely on the goodness of Superman? Some fans are offended that we’d even ask that question. But I think this movie does a great job of examining the goodness of Superman, and we’ll talk lots about this as we go,because I have some things to say. Lex wants access to the crashed Kryptonian spaceship. He wants Zod’s body. And we get another iconic piece of music - The red capes are coming.   We meet a man, Wallace Keefe, who has lost both of his legs,his wife, and his child, in the Kryptonian invasion. I love the monument with the names of all those who died in the attack, and the big statue of Superman. Wallace climbs the statue and desecrates it with spray paint. He paints the words False God on Superman’s chest. This is an interesting statement.  Is Superman a God? Is he a false God? He is a being of immense power. But he is not a perfect being. He has flaws. He has the same human brokenness that exists in all of us. It could be argued that he IS a false god, but then, Superman has never claimed to be any kind of god.   We see journalist Clark Kent at work in his office at the daily planet. Perry has assigned him a sports story based on a recent football game between Metropolis and Gotham.   We learn that Gotham is over the other side of the bay from Metropolis. I had never expected these two iconic fictional cities would be so close to one another. But for the purposes of this story, it works. And the interesting thing about this is that Metropolis is the place where the well off live. The professionals. Gotham is the darker seedier place. The wrong side of the train tracks, so to speak. I find this very interesting.   Despite his brief from Perry, Clark has no interest in pursuing this football story. He’s got more important fish to fry. In Gotham. He’s looking for Kahina Ziri. He wants to talk to her about her accusations against Superman.  It seems some people, even good people, are afraid of Batman. There’s a new kind of mean in him, one man says.   Perry’s sarcasm regarding Clark’s newfound interest in the Batman vigilante was pretty funny. Clark takes his role as a journalist just as seriously as he takes his role as Superman. He says to Perry “when you assign a story, you’re making a choice about who matters, and who’s worth it.” Perry is much more pragmatic about it. He just wants to sell newspapers.   Lois has been investigating that bullet. Turns out it’s from an advanced military weapon, so how did these backyard rebels get the latest high-grade military equipment. She thinks the US government are arming the rebels while claiming to support the elected government. She’s on her way to Washington to investigate.   Senator Finch comes to see Lex. She’s blocking the import license for the kryptonite. She sees it as a weapon of assascination, not a deterrent. He fails to convince her that “the red capes are coming.” Demons come from the sky. I think he really believes that. I think in his own way, he thinks he’s right in what he’s doing.   Bruce dreams of visiting his parent’s tomb. We get our second reminder that his mother’s name was Martha. Yeah, we’ll get to that. Bruce doesn’t live in the Wayne family manor. He lives in a modern home. And he’s connected the White Portugause to Lex Luthor. And luckily enough, he’s been invited to a charity event at Lex’s place. And that’s where we see Robin’s suit, with “The Joke’s on you Batman” painted on it. This was a cool little set-up that we’re sadly unlikely to see ever payed off at this point. Most people assumed this suit belonged to Jason Todd, who was killed by the Joker in the comics. Zack Snyder has since confirmed that it was actually Dick Grayson. David Ayer actually had some nice little backstory regarding this, that never really made it into Suicide Squad.   Clark is covering the same charity event that Bruce is attending. We get our first glimpse of Wonder Woman, who is also there. I love the look she gives Lex as he tells the story of Zeus. It’s priceless. Lex, of course, think Zeus was just an ancient legend. Woman Woman is thinking, ‘that’s my dad you’re talking about.’ Alfred is guiding Bruce through the building, looking for information to connect him to the illegal weapons imports, and Clark, of course, can hear it. Clark basically knows, from this point, that Bruce is Batman. Alfred is like a worried father, wanting Bruce to settle down and provide some grandchildren. His comments have elicited yet another audible laugh from me. Lex isn’t a good public speaker. Being rich doesn’t necessarily make you eloquent. But money does allow the unhinged to be re-classified as eccentric. Then we finally see Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne meet. I think it’s kind of cool that their first meeting is in their secret identities. This scene nicely demonstrates the vast ideological difference between these two men. Clark is taking a very righteous, almost self-righteous stance against Batman. Bruce sees this is hypocritical, given the way they praise Superman - an alien, who, if he wanted to, could burn the whole place down. Bruce and Lex have something in common. They’re both nervous about somebody with Superman’s powers being out there. It’s a theme that was explored a lot in the previous movie, but that doesn’t mean it’s fully resolved. Oh, Superman has proven himself, don’t get me wrong. But  it’s completely believable to me that people would still be nervous about him. This movie does a good job of exploring why. And I love the joker reference where Bruce points out Gotham has a bad history with freaks dressed as clowns. I never thought to compare Superman with the Joker, but I get it. Clark isn’t able to see what Bruce is really up to because Superman is needed to help save people from a factory fire in South America.    So Superman saves the day, to the wonderful Man of Steel theme by Zimmer. And we see the veneration these people have for him as they reach out to touch him. This is another little Jesus metaphor. Reminds me of the woman who wanted to touch Jesus’ cloak so as to be healed. Superman doesn’t look overly happy about this veneration.   Dianna has stolen the data that Bruce extracted from Lex’s computer.   We get a segment with a bunch of talking heads. Most, if not all, are real life personalities. It jumps between them all, with a whole lot of different opinions, and I think that’s the main takeaway here. Everyone has their opinion. As one puts it, “is it surprising that a man of this power would be a topic of controversy?” Another points out, “maybe he’s not a devil OR a Jesus figure. Maybe he’s just a guy trying to do the right thing.”   Senator Finch has some real concerns over Superman, and the way he’s making decisions and interventions that affect the whole world. He’s not controlled by any government. He’s a god-like alien with no accountability. But what do you say to those whose children Superman could have saved, but we told him not to? Finch isn’t saying Superman shouldn’t act, but that he shouldn’t act unilaterally.   And Clark is watching all of this, taking it in. Just like everyone else, he’s trying to figure out where he fits in the world. To what level should he act? So he does what any wise person would do. He calls his Mum. He’s not looking for specific advice, he just wants to talk.   We get to see that Lois also has a sense of idealism, though maybe not as strong as Clark’s. The scientist testing her bullet is “this is why you’re a great reporter. Stuff like this still shocks you.”   Meanwhile, Clark is learning that batman’s brand is a death sentence in jail. Many feel Batman is going too far. To be honest, I’m not sure why the crooks in jail kill anyone with a bat brand. What obligates them to do Batman’s dirty work for him?   Lex comes to visit the Wallace. Now, in a nice suit and an electric wheelchair, he goes to meet Senator Finch. He blames Superman for his situation and he wants to face him.   And now we get to see General Swanwick, from Man of Steel. His opinion is that  Lois went where she shouldn’t have. Superman acted like a rogue combatant to rescue her, and some people died. Don’t invent a conspiracy to put back his halo, or yours. But this doesn’t address Lois’s evidence. She admits that she made a mistake going into the desert. She got people killed. It keeps her awake. But she doesn’t believe Superman is bad, and she doesn’t think Swanwick does either. He agrees to take the bullet and pursue this himself.   Clark really doesn’t care what Perry instructs him to do. He’s refused two stories he’s been assigned. Clark is on a crusade for justice against the Batman. He thinks the Daily Planet should stand for something. Perry’s perspective is that principles don’t exist anymore. It’s not 1938 anymore. The world is a harsher place. It’s all about the money now. This is an interesting little meta-commentary on the fact that Superman has changed. Superman was created in 1938. The character has certainly changed from then to now. This appears to be a not-so-subtle statement from the filmmakers that this is a different type of Superman for the times. Deal with it.   Turns out Dianna wasn’t interested in all Bruce’s data, she just wanted a photo that Lex had. She returns the drive. And as Briuce starts to look at the data, he has a vision. This is the nightmare sequence, the source of much confusion in many a movie-goer. I’m not going to pretend to fully understand all of it myself. I’m not a comic book expert, but the more you know the comics, the more you’ll understand. We’re clearly seeing a dystopian future. The music and the visual make that clear very quickly. Batman is trying to secure some Kryptonite from Lexcorp. But it’s a trap. A bunch of storm-trooper style soldiers with Superman logos on their arms try to kill Batman. In this future, Superman has gone evil, he has neo-nazi thugs working for him, and flying aliens rule the world. Once he’s captured, Bruce is visited by Superman. The soldiers bow in reverence to him. And he’s looking pretty mean. He ruthlessly murders people with his heat vision. “She was my world, and you took her from me.” Superman says before he kills bruce. And then Bruce wakes up. A weird bearded Flash warns him that Lois Lane is the key. You were right about him, you’ve always been right about him.  This is the Flash sending a message back through time from the future. Trying to prevent that nightmare future. But the message has gone back to a point in time too early. Before Bruce even knows The Flash. Honestly I don’t think you need to understand all this to appreciate it. It’s a tease. It’s setting up cool stuff for the future. Now you can criticise this “evil Superman” all you want, but this stuff is straight from the comics. Superman hasn’t just decided to go bad. From what we’ve heard, Zack Snyder intended that this was a Superman who was being mind-controlled by Darkseid using the anti-life equation. He hasn’t just abandoned all reason because the woman he loved died. I have zero problems with this stuff.   But I wonder if we’ll get a decent payoff to all of this in the Snyder Cut of Justice league coming out next year?   The data on the drive reveals that the white portugeuse is a ship. Turns out Bruce has known more about this than he’s let on to Alfred. This is the ship that is smuggling the kryptonite to Lex. Bruce wants to intercept it. To use it. He’s actively considering killing Superman with it. Bruce says, look at the dead. This guy brought the war two years ago. If there’s even a 1 percent chance that this guy could turn on us then we have to take it as a 100% certainty and take him out.   Bruce doesn’t want to see Superman become a threat, and look back, wishing he’d done something to prevent it. He has the means to stop Superman. And honestly, that vision the Flash sent him, has only served to make him even more fearful of Superman. Because he’s seen a glimpse of that future. He HAS to prevent it from becoming a reality. That’s why the nightmare sequence is important to the movie. It directly impacts Bruce’s motivations. Alfred is convinced Superman is not our enemy. Not today, Bruce agreed, but what about the future? How many good guys are left? He asks. How many stayed that way. This line is interesting. I think this might be the reason for some theories that were popular, at one point, in the internet, that rather than being killed by the joker, Robin actually became the joker. That would make the message “The joke’s on your Batman” even more powerful. But it seems this wasn’t actually the plan.   Somebody has sent photos to Clark of the victims of Batman’s brand. And it makes him angry. The police won’t tell Clark what happened to the inmate who died, but a sympathetic cop nods him in the direction of the inmate's widow. “One man decides who lives and who dies. How is that justice?” She asks. But that’s what others are asking about Superman. He has the power to influence our lives, but does he have the moral right to make those decisions for himself?   Clark’s cover for never being where he’s supposed to be, in this version, is simply that he’s not a good employee. He’s always pursuing his own stuff against orders. This makes it work. It’s more believable than versions where he’s one of the paper’s star reporters, Perry’s golden boy. It’s hard to show true dedication to your job and be Superman at the same time. We really do get some decent Clark stuff in this movie. There’s been surprisingly little Superman. Most we’ve seen of the character has been as Clark, investigating the Batman.   Batman goes to the ship to steal the kryptonite.And we get to see the new batmobile in action for the first time. This new batmobile is a tank of a thing. Armoured and armed with machine guns. Super high tech. It’s the perfect vehicle for this older more established Batman. It’s really cool. But superman is there to interfere. Makes sense. He’s been investigating batman this whole time. Now he sees Batman is out and about causing mayhem. So he goes to stop him. And he gives Batman a verbal warning. “Next time they shine your light in the sky, don’t go to it. The bat is dead. Bury it.” Batman failed to get the kryptonite, but he managed to put a tracker on the truck. Now he knows where Lex is holding it.   Finch asks the question “How do we determine what’s good?” and she invites Superman to come and meet the people who say they suffered in that desert. The world needs to know what happened. To know what he stands for. How far will he take his power? Does he act by our will or by his own? These are not totally unreasonable questions.   Meanwhile, Martha encourages him with her perspective. “They see what you do and they know who you are. You’re not a killer, a threat.” Superman’s actions speak for him. The fruit of his life, if you like. He may not be perfect, but he’s not an enemy of this world. She tells him to be this world’s hero, or don’t be. You don’t owe this world anything. You never did. It’s not out of some kind of obligation that Superman does the things he does. He doesn’t help others because he owes them. He does things out of love. Love for humanity. Love for strangers, because he sees value in people and he chooses to help them. That’s what love has always been. A choice.   At this point the truth starts to come out. First of all, struck with a guilty conscience, Kahina Ziri goes to Finch and reveals that she didn’t tell the truth. She lied to set Superman up. Then General Swanwick confirms to Lois that It’s a setup. Someone wanted Superman to look guilty. The bullet Lois found was developed by a private company. Lexcorp. He had private contractors at the desert compound. Lex Luthor is setting Superman up. Trying to destroy his reputation.   Lois wants to run the story immediately. Superman needs to know he’s being set up because it might affect what he says to the senators. But Perry is afraid of litigation. And I don’t blame him. As he says, without proof, Lex could sue the Daily Planet out of existence.   Wallace is an employee of Bruce Wayne. Bruce has been taking good care of him, because he cares about those who work for him. But the cheques are all returned with aggressive messages.   Lex keeps saying that the oldest lie in America is that power can be innocent. He truly believes in the old saying that power corrupts. Therefore, a being with Superman’s power cannot be good. And he has Ziri murdered so she can’t tell the truth. Lex is conspicuously absent from his seat in the hearing. Finch finds a little message he left behind for her, referencing an earlier conversation. And then the wheelchair explodes, taking out the senate building.

EPISODE 42: Superman Strength + Superman Adventures The Last Sons read and discuss the Superman: Strength mini plus the popular Superman Adventures #41, requested by Super listener Patrick D. Ryall! It's a surprise for the Last Sons and one which isn't a bad thing! Hidden gem worthy of more mention - tune in to hear all the discussion! SYNOPSIS: (courtesy of Connor-El & Wiki) PART 1 A criminal named Fido and his gang are speculating on the origin of Superman and plotting how to deal with him. They send a dupe to rob a bank to test how fast Superman reacts, while Fido reveals his Super-criminal father claimed to have broken Supermans arm, and told him Superman was raised by the metropolis elite with a silver spoon in his mouth never having to struggle, hence his strict moral compass. Meanwhile Superman overhears them and warns them not to plot anything, and leaves. Lois picks up Clark and Pa Kent and over dinner Pa starts to tell a story from Clarks childhood about his first time to a city. In the past with Clark present Pa stole some candy from a crooked clerk overcharging people in need and gave some to clark, tellin him some rules can be broken. Later during a solar eclipse Clark sees a city in the distance and runs to it. Meanwhile Fidos gang creates a series of disasters from fires to blowing up a bridge, to hold Superman off while they break into lex corps to steal his old invention, a pair of gloves that can create dimensional portals. Superman eventually catches up with them and FIdo lures him through the portal, severing at the neck and coming into possession of the head of Superman! PART 2 Jonathan Kent recalls an incident when Clark was ten-years-old and a solar eclipse caused his innate Kryptonian powers to briefly manifest before they should have. Clark ran from Smallville to Chicago in under an hour and found himself embroiled in a brewing conflict between two rival members which resulted in both of their detahs. In the present, Superman is suffering from a laboratory experiment malfunction in which his head has been displaced through a dimensional portal. A former scientist named John "Fido" Pollock has the head and plans on using it as leverage in order to gain favor with Lex Luthor. This is complicated by a series of disasters happening nearby, Superman pleads with Fido to release him to save them, promising he will come back. Fido complies and lets Superman go, superman rescues everyone he can but a child dies in the process. After Supermans return, Fido and his cronies bring Superman's head to Luthor's office and offers him a demonstration of his Trans-Locational Portal gloves. Luthor is unimpressed until Pollock also reveals that he has another invention that can alter the size ratio of volumes of matter and threatens to use this technology to destroy Metropolis. A fire fight breaks out between Fido's thugs and Luthors' security team. A pile of debris falls through the spatial portal and giant-sized coins, paperclips and batteries begin raining down on Metropolis. Luthor frees Superman so that he can save the city. PART 3 Thanks to the efforts of criminal inventor John "Fido" Pollock, a wave of giant-sized pocket debris begins raining down on Metropolis. Superman flies out and deflects giant coins, fountain pens and paperclips from smashing through the city. At Lexcorp Tower, Fido and his crew use their trans-locational gloves to escape before Luthor's security team can gun them down. They stop at another LexCorp facility to hijack a NASA hovercraft. Lois Lane is present and tries to sneak on board, but Fido captures her and uses her tech to shrink her down in size. Superman arrives at the facility and his father, Jonathan Kent, tells him that the bandits have kidnapped Lois. Superman then takes off and flies after them. He traces the crew to Cairo, Egypt. Fido comes up with another idea. Using the Trans-Locational Portal, he locates the imprisoned Metallo and steals a small piece of Kryptonite from his chest cavity. He intends on using to subdue Superman. When they realize that Superman is in range, they scramble into the hovercraft leaving behind one of their own, Hopper. They open a dimensional portal to Chicago, but Superman is fast enough to follow them into the portal. They zigzag through the city, but eventually the Jet-Car runs out of fuel. By this point, Fido's cronies realize that there is no escape and they abandon him. While Superman rounds up henchpeople Trudy and Sulley, Fido hijacks a pick-up truck. Superman bears down on him, but Fido temporarily blinds him with one of the hi-tech weapons they stole from LexCorp. Superman shakes off the effects, but Fido has one more ace up his sleeve. He enlarges the Kryptonite pebble he stole from Metallo and uses it to pin Superman to the ground. While Fido is boasting about his supposed conquest, Lois escapes from the vial she was trapped in and uses Fido's Scaling Gloves to return to normal size. She then uses the same gloves to reduce the Kryptonite block back to pebble size. Through the course of this, Superman learns that Fido has always lived in the shadow of his abusive father, Frank "Pit Bull" Pollock – a man who once claimed to have broken Superman's arm in combat. Superman slightly recalls the event, and tells Fido that his father never bested him, and certainly never broke his arm. Fido knows that Superman would never lie, and the sudden revelation drives him into a fury. He unloads on Superman with every weapon at his disposal, but they do no good. Once his arsenal is spent, Fido collapses to the ground and Superman takes him into custody.

This week Eric, John, and Thomas talk Githubs purchase of NPM, working remote, Laravel release cycle, and much more. 

On the Show John Michael Beck Taylor, commonly known as Michael Beck, is an American actor, known for his role as Swan in the 1979 film The Warriors, and as Sonny Malone in Xanadu. He sits down with Fonseca and talks about Hollywood and his career. We talk about Baby Yoda, Picard Show (STAR TREK), Walking Dead again. The Most Iconic LEX LUTHOR Actors, Ranked 6. Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Eisenbrg's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Lex Luthor isn't exactly a fan favorite (though he's got his admirers to be sure), but it's hard to argue Eisenberg found a niche for Luthor as a demented wunderkind bent on manipulating the world's heroes into fighting each other. It's unclear what future if any Eisenberg's Luthor has on film, but he was last scene in a post-credits scene for Justice League in which he seemingly recruited Deathstroke to a big screen version of the Legion of Doom that may or may not ever come to fruition. 5. Jon Cryer When The CW first announced their decision to cast Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor in Supergirl, the skepticism ran deep. Four years after finishing his 12-season run on CBS's Two and a Half Men, the actor, who many still think of as Pretty in Pink's iconic, lovable, nerdy character Duckie, the actor took a huge risk in stepping into the villainous role. He may have played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but that movie wasn't — how should we put this? — good. 33 years later, could Cryer find redemption in returning to this universe and playing the corrupt billionaire? Absolutely. Cryer's take on the famous supervillain is much darker than what Gene Hackman did with the role. He's a lot closer to the comic book version of Luthor. But there is a sinister glimmer in this Luthor's eye here that is slightly reminiscent of Hackman's scenery-chewing glory. Let's be clear here, though: Cryer does not chew the scenery at all as Lex Luthor. This Lex is self-obsessed and self-important. But he is also an absolute sociopath. It's a challenge for any actor to portray someone this evil and still make him fun for audiences to watch. Somehow, Cryer is able to find the inner joy in bringing Luthor to life. And that sinister glimmer we referenced earlier makes Lex Luthor's ongoing conflict with Supergirl all the more entertaining to watch. 4. John Shea John Shea's charismatic Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman version of Lex Luthor was somewhat ahead of its time, posing Luthor as an Elon Musk style tech entrepreneur with his fingers on the pulse of cutting edge technology. But unlike the modern real world archetype he foreshadowed, Shea's Luthor had those same fingers spread into the criminal underworld as well. Shea's Luthor oozed confidence and friendly favor to the public, but behind the scenes his ruthless machinations and hatred of Superman colored his every action. Lois and Clark's Luthor followed an arc far different from most versions of the character, but at the same time presented one of the most complete pictures of Luthor's dual nature yet on screen. 3. Michael Rosenbaum Michael Rosenbaum played perhaps the scariest version live action version of Lex Luthor – because we saw him evolve from Clark Kent's friend to the nascent Superman's arch-enemy almost in real time. Rosenbaum's likable but increasingly cold Luthor was a major departure from previous well-known versions of the character like Gene Hackman's Superman: The Movie version. Oddly enough, Rosenbaum also portrayed the Flash in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series – and he also got a chance to portray a very different version of Luthor on that show as well in an episode where Wally West and Lex Luthor switch brains (a la Freaky Friday). The result is Rosenbaum doing his best version of Luthor impersonating the Flash, while JLU's Luthor Clancy Brown (remember that name) turns in a performance as Rosenbaum's Wally impersonating him – a classic bit of switcheroo. 2. Clancy Brown Unlike his Gotham City arch-criminal equivalent the Joker, Lex Luthor doesn't have a rich history of iconic voice portrayals that immediately spring to mind. But Clancy Brown's Luthor, whom he voiced from Superman: The Animated Series through Justice League Unlimited, breaks that mold. Brown's Luthor carried a snide edge that was clearly informed by Gene Hackman's Superman: The Movie performance (more on that later), but which went an extra mile in its vicious sarcasm. Brown's Luthor moved from the LexCorp boardroom into the Hall of Doom and eventually to deep space, seamlessly exuding Lex's confidence and arrogance in every context he was placed. 1. Gene Hackman Much like his heroic counterpart Christopher Reeve's good natured take on Superman, Gene Hackman's affable but diabolical robber baron/real estate developer version of Lex Luthor defined the character for a whole generation of fans in Superman: The Movie and its sequels. Hackman's portrayal is worlds apart from some versions of the character – he's not exactly the mad scientist supervillain type – but his Lex still informs aspects of Luthor in both comic books and subsequent film portrayals, where his grandiosity and borderline madness often come through – along with his off-beat humor. Now Hackman's Luthor has another, more direct legacy in Superman media. John Cryer, who played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny Luthor alongside Hackman in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, will now portray Lex Luthor on CW's Supergirl.
