Legacy of the Superman: The Future
Welcome to the final installment of our Legacy of the Superman series. In this installment, we will explore what’s up next for the Man of Steel, from movies and television to animation and comics. Fans have wanted to see a new solo film for Superman ever since Man of Steel in 2013. While we’ve heard plenty of rumors and interested directors over the years, we don’t really know much – other than that there are plans to make it…eventually. Most recently, it was rumored that Warner Bros. wants to announce the film this year, possibly during San Diego Comic-Con. But first, Superman may show up in another DC movie. Rumor…

SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE Review
Superman vs The Elite is, like my previous review, based on a previous comic book called What’s so funny about the truth justice & the American way, and just like my previous review, reading it is something I haven’t been able to do. So the review is going to approach it like it’s a movie on its own. In Superman vs The Elite, they cover the question of what true justice is. On the one hand, we have Superman, who believes that criminals should face punishment, but not to the point of death, while we have the rising group of Anti-Heroes called The Elite lead by Manchester Black who thinks…

Review: SUPERMAN/BATMAN: APOCALYPSE
After the events of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies we have a new adventure for our heroes. This film is the origin of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl. We also team up with Wonder Woman and Big Barda to take down Darkseid. Talk about going big for a sequel! So how does this all come together? Well, let’s find out. The film has a loose connection to Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, but there’s nothing really tying the two together. We see a ship flying through Gotham City and Batman (Kevin Conroy) investigating. We find that the ship was carrying Kara Zor-El (Summer Glau), Superman’s (Tim Daly) cousin. Batman and Wonder Woman (Susan Eisenberg) are not…

Legacy of the Superman Part 3: Animation
Superman is the first superhero ever created. He’s the reason DC Comics are where they are today. Being the world’s biggest hero, Superman has appeared in numerous animated adventures. Today, we’re going to look at a brief history at the Man of Tomorrow’s life in animation. We’ll start by going to his first debut on television. Before his movies and live-action series, Superman starred in a few animated shorts in 1941. These 10 minutes episodes were created by Dave and Max Fleischer, creators of Popeye and Betty Boop. This series still holds up remarkably well and can be enjoyed by almost anyone. It stays true to the character, showing him…

Review: SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES
What would happen if Lex Luthor became president of the United States and made Superman and Batman America’s most wanted? That’s the question Superman/Batman: Public Enemies attempts to answer. Does it do the World’s Finest justice or does fail miserably? Let’s find out! The film picks up in the middle of the action.

SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY Review
Before I start off this review, I just want to clarify something. I’ve never been giving the chance to read Death of Superman, which the movie is supposedly based upon. So I’m going to approach this as a movie on its own and not how it stands as an adaptation. I tried to find some means to read it before I watched it, but with how iconic this comic is, I think you know why I was unable to. With that said, let’s get to the review. When LexCorp accidentally releasing a terrible monster named Doomsday, Superman is up against his most powerful foe yet. As I said in the…
