Podcasts about Man of Steel

Jake and Tyler are back for Episode 271 of Off Panel Off Topic, and there's a lot to unpack.The guys kick things off with a rant about the reaction to the new Wolverine game and why internet review culture might be ruining the experience of actually enjoying games, movies and comics for yourself.Then it's time for these f*ing Lanterns, man.** They dive into Lanterns, including the spot-on casting of Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Sinestro's manipulation, the growing mystery surrounding the Manhunters and some theories about where the series could be headed.Plus, it's another round of comic reviews featuring Doom Quest #4, Supergirl, Deadshot and Superman: The Stranger — including a very different take on the Man of Steel that has the guys debating just how far you can reinvent Superman before he becomes something entirely new.Sponsored by KnoPros Remodeling, Jenny Farrell RE/MAX Concepts, Iowa Beef Steakhouse, and Revelton Distilling Company.

Things got very Days of Future Past this week. We break down Season 9, Episode 9, “Pandora,” and finally experience the nightmare future Lois has been seeing all season. We LOVED this one. Lois gets dropped into a Metropolis where Zod has won, the sun has turned red, the resistance is barely hanging on, and Clark has become a broken version of himself after losing her. Seeing this world through Lois makes everything hit harder, especially as she reunites with Clark and we learn just how much her disappearance changed him. It has that alternate-future energy we love from stories like Buffy's “The Wish” and the Terminator movies, where everything has gone horribly wrong and our heroes are fighting from underneath. Add in some HUGE Clark and Lois moments, and “Pandora” has us seriously excited, a little mind-blown, and very ready to see where Smallville Season 9 goes next.

Tune in to hear their review of the memorable crossover with The New Batman Adventures in the episode "Knight Time" which explores a mysterious disappearance of Bruce Wayne, leaving poor Robin to defend Gotham City on his own until the Man of Steel finds out and decides to help. With plenty of memorable moments including Superman donning the Bat-suit and interacting with some of the Gotham Rogues, a soundtrack that incorporates the best music that the DCAU has to offer and more. Plus the voice of the Boy Wonder himself, Mathew Valencia shares his memories of getting credited as the voice of Superman and the difference between recording a Superman episode versus a Batman episode.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we're taking a look at two animated superhero series that continue to put fresh spins on some of comics' most iconic characters.   First up is X-Men '97 Season 2 on Disney+, as Marvel's Emmy-winning mutant team returns for another season of time travel, massive threats, and personal drama. With the X-Men scattered across different eras after the events of Season 1, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, Beast, Magneto, and the rest of the team must find their way home while confronting new dangers, including the arrival of Apocalypse. With returning voices including Ray Chase, Jennifer Hale, Alison Sealy-Smith, Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Matthew Waterson, and Ross Marquand, we're breaking down the latest chapter of this beloved revival and asking whether Season 2 can match the extraordinary heights of its predecessor.   Then we head to Metropolis for My Adventures with Superman Season 3 on Adult Swim and HBO Max. Jack Quaid, Alice Lee, and Ishmel Sahid return as Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen as their coming-of-age superhero adventure enters a new chapter. With Clark continuing to balance his life as Superman with his career at the Daily Planet and his relationship with Lois, Season 3 expands the show's mythology while introducing new challenges for the young Man of Steel. We're talking about the latest adventures, the evolving relationships, and what makes this anime-inspired take on Superman such a refreshing addition to the DC Universe.   Watch tonight at 6:30 pm PT and call in live at www.fantasticforum.live to share your thoughts.

The Wonder Twins are in Smallville!! We're freaking out over 9x8 “Idol” and the wonderfully absurd decision to bring Zan and Jayna into this universe. Somehow, that's only half the reason we absolutely LOVE this episode, because Lois and Clark are getting seriously steamy. Lois starts putting the pieces together about Clark and the Blur, Clark gets dangerously close to exposing his secret, and the whole thing builds to Lois realizing that no matter how she feels about the Blur, she can't stop thinking about Clark. Then she turns around and gives him THAT KISS. We're talking Wonder Twin powers, Clark becoming a true symbol of hope, Lois nearly discovering everything, and one of our favorite Lois and Clark moments yet. Smallville “Idol” is ridiculous, romantic, and exactly our kind of episode.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

Look!  Up in the sky...it's a bird, it's a plane...it's Necronomicast with author/speaker/lawyer William Bernhardt as a special guest! Blending legal insight, historical research, and deeply human storytelling, William Bernhardt delivers the definitive account of one of the most consequential and misunderstood creator-rights battles in American pop culture history. For generations, Superman has stood as a symbol of hope, morality, and idealism. Yet few readers know the true story behind his creation or the devastating cost paid by his original creators. In his book, "The Superman Wars", Bernhardt pulls back the curtain on the legal, cultural, and ethical conflicts that shaped the Man of Steel and forever changed the comics industry. Rather than retelling a well-known pop culture narrative, Bernhardt reframes Superman as history. He traces the character's creation to two young men, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, whose work helped define an industry while leaving them financially and creatively vulnerable. Their experience became one of the earliest and most influential examples of creators losing control of their intellectual property to powerful corporations. Bernhardt's background as a lawyer gives him a unique lens through which to examine the legal battles surrounding Superman. He translates complex copyright disputes into an accessible narrative, showing how early publishing contracts routinely stripped creators of long-term rights in exchange for modest, short-term compensation. These practices shaped not only the comics industry but the broader entertainment landscape. The Superman Wars places Superman within the social and historical context of the late 1930s, a time marked by economic hardship and global uncertainty. Bernhardt explains why Superman emerged at precisely the right moment in American history and why his emphasis on moral clarity and justice resonated so deeply with readers seeking reassurance and hope. The Superman Wars also speaks directly to modern creators. The book raises enduring questions about ownership, fairness, and the balance between art and commerce. Bernhardt argues that Siegel's story remains deeply relevant in today's publishing, film, and digital media industries. The Superman Wars stands as both a tribute to creative vision and a cautionary tale about power, legacy, and justice. Willam Bernhardt's official website. "The Superman Wars" at Amazon.

In this episode we discuss James Gunn celebrating 85 days of filming "Man of Tomorrow", David Krumholtz "Career on Hold" comments, Honest Trailers – "Supergirl" (2026), HBO Max orders comedy series "The People v. Gorilla Grodd", Shelley Fabares dies at 82, a teenager joins Indonesia's wildfire fight dressed as Superman, a real-life "Superman" robot debuts in China, Gary Larson takes on the Man of Steel, new art print and action figures, your favorite Metropolis designs, and much more.

We absolutely loved how big, emotional, and downright epic this one felt. For the first time, Clark's flesh-and-blood father Jor-El is actually in Smallville, giving Clark the chance to come painfully close to knowing the man behind the voice that has guided him for years. We're talking about Jor-El and Zod's friendship before everything fell apart, the tragedy that shaped Zod after losing his wife and child, and just how heartbreaking it is watching so many relationships on Krypton end in loss. We definitely missed having Lois around this week, but getting to see more of Krypton before its destruction gave Season 9 a scale we weren't expecting. And when Clark finally meets Jor-El? This one got us. “Kandor” is a sad episode, but it's also one of those Smallville stories that makes Clark's Kryptonian history feel bigger than ever while still bringing everything back home to the Kent Farm.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

Tell us what you though of the episode

When John Byrne was given the creative reins of DC's The Man of Steel, he reimagined Superman for a new generation, redefining the character while challenging long-held assumptions about who the Last Son of Krypton was and what he could be. In the final installment of our 1986 series, we trace Byrne's career leading up to The Man of Steel, explore the sweeping changes he made to Superman's mythology, debate whether the series represents his peak as a writer-artist, and ask how Byrne's remarkable body of work from the '80s stacks up against that of contemporaries like Alan Moore and Frank Miller. *Stay tuned for a hidden bonus pod near the end of this episode where we shout-out a few honorable mentions from 1986 that weren't included in the series. 

After years of flirting, fighting, terrible timing, and enough unresolved tension to power all of Metropolis, this episode gives us the moment we've been waiting for, and we absolutely loved it. Clark and Lois' chemistry is basically the heartbeat of the entire episode, from their wonderfully awkward Good Morning Metropolis audition to jealous Clark watching Lois and Oliver together, Lois finally admitting how she really feels about Clark, and that incredible final scene at the Daily Planet. We also get Oliver taking Mia under his wing, bringing Speedy into the Smallville universe, plus Tess and Zod continuing their dangerous game of Kryptonian chess. There's a lot happening in Smallville 9x6 “Crossfire,” but for us, this one belongs to Clark and Lois. That kiss was a long time coming, and it was absolutely worth the wait.

Are superhero movies finally hitting a wall of fatigue or is the writing just falling short? In this deep dive, we sit down to discuss the latest Spider-Man film and why it failed to live up to the hype, from confusing character cameos to a lackluster storyline that left us dozing off in the theater.We explore the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the controversial handling of the Hulk and what needs to happen for Avengers Doomsday to actually succeed. The conversation also shifts to the DC side of things as we compare the impact of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel to James Gunn's new vision for Superman. From the inclusion of X-Men characters in Spider-Man to the high stakes of the upcoming Dr. Doom reveal, we are breaking down everything happening in the world of comic book cinema. Is the future of superhero media actually in animation with hits like Invincible and X-Men 97? Join the conversation as we analyze the hits, the misses, and the future of our favorite franchises.Key topics in this video include:

This one feels less like a typical superhero episode and more like Smallville's take on Michael Douglas's The Game. In this episode of our Going Back to Smallville rewatch podcast and series retrospective, Oliver Queen is pushed through a wild, increasingly dangerous game that forces him to confront just how far he's fallen and whether there's still a hero underneath all that pain. Chloe's methods are definitely extreme, Lois gets pulled into the chaos, and we've got plenty to say about all of it, but what really makes “Roulette” work for us is Oliver's redemption. Seeing him rediscover the part of himself that wants to save people, followed by the return of Green Arrow alongside Clark, made this one incredibly satisfying. The Green Arrow is back, and we couldn't be happier.

Clark and Lois are finally starting to feel like the heart of Smallville, and “Echo” gives us everything we've been waiting for. In this episode of Going Back to Smallville, our Smallville Season 9 rewatch podcast and series retrospective, we're talking about Clark's temporary ability to read minds, the adorable chaos that comes from hearing Lois's unfiltered thoughts, and why their growing connection works so well. From maple donuts and a not-quite-date at a monster truck rally to Lois arriving in a gown after Clark stands her up, this episode understands exactly what makes these two special. We also break down Toyman's return, Oliver's heartbreaking downward spiral, and Clark realizing that saving his friends means noticing when they need him. We loved this one, but more than anything, we loved watching Clark and Lois move closer to becoming the couple we know they're meant to be.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

Joshua Williamson's Superman run has been one of the most celebrated eras for the Man of Steel in recent years, but one of its most surprising accomplishments may be the redemption of Superboy-Prime. Once one of DC's most hated villains, Prime has been given a new layer of depth, reminding readers why he was originally created and why he remains one of the most fascinating characters in DC history. In this video, we break down Williamson's approach to Superman, explore how he handled Superboy-Prime's journey, discuss whether this redemption truly works, and examine why hope, forgiveness, and second chances have always been at the heart of Superman's mythology.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton Written by: Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers (based on the Marvel comic by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko) Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo, Liza Colón-Zayas, Florence Pugh IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22084616/ Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026), a soft-reboot superhero film that finds Peter Parker fighting crime full-time in a New York that no longer remembers he exists. The discussion explores whether the film's quieter, more introspective first act successfully re-energizes a fatigued genre, the wisdom of internalizing Spider-Man's central struggle as his own spider-DNA begins to take over ("spider puberty"), and a plot the hosts agree is overstuffed with characters and motivations. Along the way: Jon Bernthal's softened Punisher, Sadie Sink's tangential villain, an unnecessary Hulk, and some of the most aggressive BMW product placement either host can remember. Reference points include Sam Raimi, The Empire Strikes Back, and the boring-superhero cautionary tales of Superman Returns and Man of Steel. On-air verdicts: Dave — 4/5. Michael — 3/5. (Dave really enjoyed it; Michael landed mixed — "10% greatness, 90% mid" — praising the third act while faulting the loaded first two.) Thematic Discussion Spider-Man: Brand New Day explores loneliness, and the idea that community is vulnerability. The film suggests that even with superhuman strength, no one gets through isolation alone — that reaching out, being earnest, and letting people back in is the actual work, and the only real cure. Peter erased himself from everyone he loved to keep them safe; the film argues that choice was the wound, not the protection. Both hosts landed on the thematic point being earned: the melancholy is felt, the reconnection with Ned and MJ is left meaningfully ambiguous rather than reset, and Sadie Sink's character works as a dark-mirror counterpoint — the same loss, but a person who pushes everyone away instead.

Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 628: Truth, Justice, and the Way - Episode 11: Supergirl - Redemption or Revenge?     This week on Voices in My Head, i'm sharing an episode of my other podcast that I host with David Dault, Truth, Justice and the Way. What happens when a superhero story trades redemption for revenge? In this episode of Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman & Spirituality, Rick Lee James and David Dault explore one of the most surprising changes in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and ask what it reveals about heroism, justice, mercy, and the moral imagination. Comparing the film to Tom King's original graphic novel, they wrestle with questions of violence, forgiveness, redemption, and whether we still believe people can truly change. Along the way, they reflect on Superman's enduring example of hope, the power of storytelling to shape our moral lives, and why the best heroes call us not simply to defeat evil—but to become better people. In This Episode Rick shares the story behind his new single, “Heaven Is Full of Criminals,” featuring Phil Keaggy, and the surprising conversations it has sparked about grace, worthiness, and hope. The theological inspiration behind the song includes the Good Thief, the possibility of redemption, and the question of whether God's welcome extends farther than we imagine. A spoiler-filled discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrowand how its ending differs dramatically from Tom King's acclaimed graphic novel. Why the graphic novel's ending offers a vision of redemption, while the film chooses an act of lethal justice. The idea of redemptive violenceand why so many modern stories assume evil can only be defeated through killing. Superman's refusal to kill and why restraint—not power—has always been one of his defining virtues. Whether James Gunn may be setting up a larger redemption arc for Supergirl as his new DC Universe unfolds. Why stories shape our moral imagination, influencing what we believe is possible for heroes, villains, and ourselves. Mark Waid's famous criticism of Superman killing General Zod in Man of Steel, and why he insists, “That's not Superman.” Comparisons to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Odyssey, Avengers: Infinity War, and the Gospels as examples of stories that wrestle with hope, loss, and redemption. Reflections on Pope Francis, Karl Barth, and the Christian hope that no one is beyond the reach of grace. Why Superman continues to matter—not because he is the strongest hero, but because he refuses to let violence have the final word. A closing reflection inviting listeners to consider how the stories we tell shape the people we become—and whether hope may be the bravest choice of all.   “Heaven Is Full of Criminals” Hear Now       Connect with Rick Lee James Website: RickLeeJames.com Email: Rick@RickLeeJames.com Listen / Subscribe Subscribe, rate, and review Voices in My Head wherever you listen to podcasts.

Along the way, they reflect on Superman's enduring example of hope, the power of storytelling to shape our moral lives, and why the best heroes call us not simply to defeat evil—but to become better people.In This Episode* Rick shares the story behind his new single, “Heaven Is Full of Criminals,” featuring Phil Keaggy, and the surprising conversations it has sparked about grace, worthiness, and hope.* The theological inspiration behind the song includes the Good Thief, the possibility of redemption, and the question of whether God's welcome extends farther than we imagine.* A spoiler-filled discussion of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrowand how its ending differs dramatically from Tom King's acclaimed graphic novel.* Why the graphic novel's ending offers a vision of redemption, while the film chooses an act of lethal justice.* The idea of redemptive violenceand why so many modern stories assume evil can only be defeated through killing.* Superman's refusal to kill and why restraint—not power—has always been one of his defining virtues.* Whether James Gunn may be setting up a larger redemption arc for Supergirl as his new DC Universe unfolds.* Why stories shape our moral imagination, influencing what we believe is possible for heroes, villains, and ourselves.* Mark Waid's famous criticism of Superman killing General Zod in Man of Steel, and why he insists, “That's not Superman.”* Comparisons to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Odyssey, Avengers: Infinity War, and the Gospels as examples of stories that wrestle with hope, loss, and redemption.* Reflections on Pope Francis, Karl Barth, and the Christian hope that no one is beyond the reach of grace.* Why Superman continues to matter—not because he is the strongest hero, but because he refuses to let violence have the final word.* A closing reflection inviting listeners to consider how the stories we tell shape the people we become—and whether hope may be the bravest choice of all.“Heaven Is Full of Criminals”Hear NowConnect with Rick Lee JamesWebsite: RickLeeJames.comEmail: Rick@RickLeeJames.comListen / SubscribeSubscribe, rate, and review Voices in My Head wherever you listen to podcasts.Music & MerchBandcamp (music + merch): RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.comStreaming: Search “Rick Lee James” on your favorite music platform or on Spotify https://t.co/S7nCRl0xqaAudiobookOut of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms (Audible):Audiobook LinkSpecial Offer10% off at Bandcamp: use code 10off at checkoutRickLeeJames.Bandcamp.comHosted byRick Lee James — Voices in My Head Podcast This is a public episode.

In this episode of PT Nerd, we're revisiting **Man of Steel (2013)**—the movie that completely redefined Superman for a new generation.Henry Cavill brought a darker, more grounded version of Superman, but not everyone agreed with the direction.We're breaking down the action, performances, emotional moments, and the biggest debate of all—was this the right take on Superman?Is *Man of Steel* underrated, misunderstood, or too divisive to ever fully win fans over?Let us know your thoughts in the comments.#PTNerd #ManOfSteel #Superman #HenryCavill #MovieReview

We're revisiting Smallville Season 9, Episode 3, “Rabid,” a horror-inspired rewatch that feels like the show's love letter to zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. We had an absolute blast with this one as Clark races to save a zombie-infected Lois, leading to some fantastic Clois moments, creepy action, and one of the most fun standalone episodes of the season. We also talk about why Smallville's movie homage episodes work so well, Oliver's downward spiral, the eerie outbreak across Metropolis, and how the ending quietly sets up even bigger things to come with Zod.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

Grab your cape and your cold one, because Shayne and Jay are suiting up for a DC Universe deep dive. Round 322 is a Redux of the classic BT40, and these two self-proclaimed experts (their words) are ready to settle the score between the DC and Marvel movie universes. Spoiler: Wonder Woman wins everything.Topics include:Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, and the Zod controversyBatman v Superman and why Gal Gadot saved the whole movieSuicide Squad, Jared Leto's divisive Joker, and Margot Robbie's scene-stealing Harley QuinnWhy DC rushed their cinematic universe and paid for itWhere Wonder Woman ranks among Marvel movies**Round 322**~~~~~~~**Support the Show on Patreon!**Want more Beer Thursday in your life?

And yes, they are expertise. They even discovered a hidden Marvel movie once. Nobody else figured that out.**Man of Steel gets some love.**Jay is a lifelong Superman fan, and he gives Henry Cavill major props for making the role his own without trying to copy Christopher Reeve. The bus rescue scene, the weight of Clark Kent's childhood, and yes, the controversial ending with General Zod all get the Beer Thursday treatment.**Batman v Superman? Mixed feelings.**Jay basically calls it a decent Batman movie that Superman happened to show up in. Shayne enjoyed it because he is easily entertained. Both agree that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman entrance alone was worth the price of admission.**Suicide Squad and the Joker problem.**Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn? Brilliant. Jared Leto as the Joker? Not so much. The guys give full credit where it's due and move on quickly.**The big question: Did DC rush it?**Shayne makes a sharp point. Marvel spent years building up to the Avengers. DC threw everyone into the same movie by film number two. The game was not allowed to come to them.**Wonder Woman stands alone.**Jay calls it his favorite DC movie and says it comes close to Marvel caliber. Where exactly it ranks among Marvel films is a question that will require its own round.Part 2 is coming. Whenever that is.~~~~~~~Disclosure: I don't really have a house elf. Artie is AI. Get it?

Will "Big" George Latimer get his revenge on the Man of Steel? And how will Clark Kent explain his mysterious absence from the newsroom? Find out in the concluding installments of "Superman vs. Kryptonite," originally aired on Mutual between June 18 and June 27, 1947.

As "Bud Smith," the amnesiac Superman is a home run-crushing, strike-out hurling baseball phenom! But "Big" George Latimer still hunts for the missing Man of Steel and the crew at the Daily Planet is looking for Clark Kent. This epic adventure continues with the next five chapters, originally aired on Mutual between June 11 and June 17, 1947.

We're breaking down Smallville Season 9 Episode 2, “Metallo,” and we freaking loved this one. Clark and Lois are finally back in the same scene, Clark is stepping away from the whole “cutting off his humanity” era, and the show instantly feels more alive because of it. We talk about why John Corben works so well as Metallo, how his kryptonite heart makes him a genuinely tragic and dangerous antagonist, and why all those Terminator references made us so happy. Add in Lois being thrilled Clark is back, the Blur drama, Chloe pushing Clark, and the first real sparks of Season 9 Clois energy, and this Smallville series retrospective gave us exactly the kind of episode we've been waiting for.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

In what was his second film as the titular Man of Steel, the late, great Christopher Reeve returns as Kal-El, the Son of Crypton who has now settled in Metropolis under disguise as Clark Kent, a nerdy reporter a The Daily Planet who also pines for his fellow reporter Lois Lane played by the late, great Margot Kidder.  As Superman, he is now doing his part to keep the human inhabitants of Planet Earth safe until.....three Kryptonians come calling lead by the aggrieved General Zod (Terence Stamp) who is seeking revenge against Kal-El after his late father had him imprisoned in the previous film.  Together Zod, Ursa (Sarah Douglas), and Non (Jack O'Halloran) begin to wreak havoc on Earth and frigteningly, NO ONE can stop them as they each have similar powers to Kal-El. :o And what results is an intense battle of ONE vs. THREE....can Superman prevail this time around??  Directed by Richard Lester (A Hard Day's Night) taking over from Richard Donner....sort of, this beloved sequel also features returning cast members Gene Hackman, Jackie Cooper, Valerie Perrine, and Ned Beatty.  KNEEL before ZOD!!!!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/ 

Everyone is wrong, Supergirl absolutely rules. Tonight we're talking about Supergirl (2026), the 4th project in James Gunn's DCU, and why Kara's story hits so differently from Superman's. We loved the deeper look at Kara as a person, shaped by loss, anger, survival, and a life that never gave her the same warmth Clark had on Earth. This just-released DCU movie gave us a Supergirl who feels messy, wounded, funny, and heroic in her own way, plus Krypto, Ruthye, a brutal space revenge quest, and Jason Momoa's Lobo being exactly as awesome as we hoped. Mostly, we're here to happily defend this movie from the “it's bad actually” crowd, because nope. Not today.Support the show: https://patreon.com/hopefullyawesomeBecome a Member on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHRvjz_pKP1Th5Y8ZIwFMtQ/joinCheck out our Merch! - https://hopefullyawesome.creator-spring.com/This video is NOT sponsored.

We're celebrating summer by heading to the drive-in! Over the next two weeks, we're bringing you a double bill of blockbuster movies from last summer. Maybe you saw them, maybe you missed them, but we think you'll enjoy Last Summer's Drive-In Movie Double Feature! Grab a corndog, tune in your radio, or hang that weird staticky speaker in your window… our first feature is starting now! In 2022, after Discovery, Inc. and WarnerMedia merged to become Warner Bros. Discovery, CEO David Zaslav hired director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran to lead the newly-formed DC Studios, rebooting the divisive and ultimately financially unsuccessful DC Extended Universe, the so-called Snyderverse, into what is simply known as the DC Universe. The first official film in the new DCU slate, called "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," (nod to last week) was a soft-reboot of the universe focusing on the same character Zach Snyder used in 2013 to start his universe: the Man of Steel himself, the Last Son of Krypton, Superman. With the vibe of "we now join the program already in progress," this overstuffed actioner sees David Corenswet don the tights as Kal-El / Clark Kent, Nicholas Hoult shave his head as Lex Luthor, and Rachel Broshnan step behind the keyboard as intrepid reporter Lois Lane. Oh, and there's about a bajillion other people in this movie (plus one cute CGI dog and some robots) because let's just throw the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. Imagine the pastabilities! Earth's yellow sun was shining, however, as the film scored the tenth highest-grossing release of 2025, was the highest-grossing superhero film of that year, and was the first DC-based film to surpass all Marvel films released within a single year since The Dark Knight in 2008 - when the first Iron Man hit screens. But with this film's spin-off/follow-up already in theaters and a sequel in production, is Superman still bulletproof or has this pocket universe already met its Kryptonite?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Hoo boy it's the Flash, the one from 2023, with two Ezra Millers, Michael Keaton, some other people I've since forgotton... oh yeah, this one make you relive the climax of Man of Steel repeatedly. Really did not enjoy this one (this is Chris by the way)... I guess it's nice to see Ron Livingston... the mom is pretty cute? Anyways please enjoy your latest Patreon vault unlock.

When Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster contracted with National Periodical Publications to publish their creation Superman in 1938, it was not only the beginning of the Man of Steel's legacy as one of the most important fictional characters ever created, it also was the start of Jerry's decades long battle over control of the character and for fair compensation and credit. This is all covered in The Superman Wars, the new book by William Bernhardt! William is an attorney, an author of over 60 books and a past Jeopardy champion (!) and in this painstakingly researched book, he takes us through the tale of Siegel's search for his own claim to truth, justice and the American way in the face of corporate swindlers, gangsters, pornographers, blackballing, crooked lawyers, and broken promises. CBB hosts Billy Z and Steve are on hand to interview William so hit play to hear all about this fascinating story and cautionary tale!

In this episode we discuss the "Supergirl" box office performance and James Gunn-era DCU strategy, critic versus audience "Supergirl" reception gap on Rotten Tomatoes, comic-accuracy deep dive into the green sun seen in "Supergirl", comparison between "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" and the film adaptation, the ending of "Supergirl" and its echo of "Man of Steel", Milly Alcock's press tour highlights and talk show appearances, "My Adventures With Superman" Season 3 new episode, the newly announced Krypto animated series, your favorite Bizarro designs, and much more.

SUPERGIRL, the follow-up to James Gunn's SUPERMAN from last year, has finally hit theaters, and people are being totally chill and not weird at all about it. Just kidding! The discourse has reached a fever pitch, but does the movie, starring Milly Alcock as the titular heroine with an assist from Jason Momoa as Lobo and David Corenswet returning as the Man of Steel, deserve the divisive response it's getting?

Today, I interview Nevin Seus, one of the music editors of SUPERGIRL!A 20-year-veteran in Hollywood, he's no stranger to DC projects, working on MAN OF STEEL, BATMAN V. SUPERMAN and JUSTICE LEAGUE.However, this newest project represents a different challenge for him, given that composer Claudia Sarne (THE BOOK OF ELI, TRIPLE 9) had only six weeks to deliver a full score. For Seus, that means whatever pieces Sarne provided needed to be distilled into its clearest and most impactful form, ASAP.Sometimes, this means stripping a scene entirely of music. In others, it means suggesting accents to give a fight scene more weight or hunting down the synthesizer that'd distinguish a space alien's presence in the score.During much of this interview, I try to break down what it means to work as a music editor, list the responsibilities entailed. I think we do an honorable job, but I get the impression from Seus that a mere 30 minutes won't even crack the pavement on this subject. It's a multifaceted job for those dedicated to infusing stories with the right details, the essential musical backbone that makes movies magical.SUPERGIRL is now available to watch in, likely, any and every theater you can find.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

The stakes are higher than ever for Superman as this epic adventure continues! "Big" George Latimer may have figured out how to use the Kryptonite to wipe out Superman once and for all, as Batman and Robin continue their desperate search for the Man of Steel. We'll hear every exciting minute in these five chapters that aired on Mutual between May 28 and June 3, 1947.

In celebration of the new movie release of Supergirl: Women of Tomorrow we are returning to the DC Universe as we review Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. On the eve its 30th Anniversary, Kingdom Come asks many questions around theme of what it heroism and what does it mean to each of us. As each generation of heroes answer the question from their own unique perspective, one hero takes a stand as a role model: Superman. The man of Steel, along with Batman, and Wonder Women question themselves in a world of the future, on the edge of Armageddon, questioning their morals, motivations , and is humanity worth saving? This story is recommended for fans of the Justice League, Superman, the artwork and story telling of Mark Waid and Alex Ross, along with stories that challenge the status quo of the DC Universe. Even 30 years since its release, in our opinion, Kingdom Come still stands as one of the great DC Stories of all time. Read it in the trade paperback, Absolute format, online, check out this incredible Elseworlds(Alternative Universe) tale.

In this episode, Anna and Derek debate the believability of Superman giving up his superpowers for Lois, why Christopher Reeve is the definitive Man of Steel, and much more as they tackle both the Richard Lester AND Richard Donner cuts of Superman II (1980)...

It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era.

Our bonus series starring the Man of Steel continues with the next five chapters of the epic adventure "Superman vs. Kryptonite." The dynamic duo Batman and Robin step in to help their super friend, who is threatened by corrupt political boss "Big" George Latimer in these exciting installments that aired on Mutual between May 21 and May 27, 1947.

Will the real Superman please stand up? The Man of Tomorrow (aka the Cyborg Superman), the Last Son of Krypton (aka the Eradicator), the Metropolis Kid (aka Superboy), and the Man of Steel (aka John Henry Irons, aka Steel) all lay claim to the name and role in one way or another. Through weekly issues of the Triangle Era Superman titles, these four will vie for the title before (spoiler alert) the true Superman returns from the grave with a new look for the ‘90s (though opinions vary whether he has long hair or an actual mullet). We'll wrap up our look at the death and return of Superman and talk about the big issues: how did Superman pave the way for decades of deaths and resurrections in his wake, why does this story linger in the canon when so many other stunts have been forgotten, and why are superhero fans so obsessed with their favorite superheroes dying, anywayDiscussed in this episode: Action Comics #687-691, Adventures of Superman #500-505, Superman #78-82, Superman: The Man of Steel #22-26, and Green Lantern #46.Support the show at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

Supergirl flies back to the big screen this summer (with a cameo from her cousin from Metropolis), and to celebrate we present an epic radio adventure of the Man of Steel. From the spring and summer of 1947, it's "Superman vs. Kryptonite," a story that begins when an old enemy of Superman's comes into possession of the hero's Achilles heel. We'll hear the first five parts of the story - episodes that originally aired on Mutual between May 14 and May 20, 1947.

Kenny Porter is a very busy comics creator! This week in Episode 748, we talk with him, who has had stories published by DC Comics, Image Comics, SEGA, and Top Cow, as well as Fearless from Scholastic and Barnstormers! from Insight Comics. If you visit your local comics shop, you are very likely to find at least two of his books there—The Schlub collected as a trade paperback from Image, and Superman: Father of Tomorrow from DC. Here's the description of that latter book: "In a corner of far-flung space, a world explodes. A lone rocket escapes the destruction and races through space, ultimately landing on a small farm in small-town Kansas. A kindly couple steps with trepidation toward the alien craft as the door opens. Out steps a man named Jor-El, the sole survivor of the planet Krypton! As Jor-El fits in to his new home, he realizes that he can help the world, not just with his newfound powers, but with his intellect as well. Witness how a Man of Steel and Science saves the world!" We talk about both books with Kenny as well as Operation: Iron Coffin, which is coming soon from IDW. You can check out his website at this link.
