May 16, 2012: Superboy Seasons 2-4 to be Released

Superboy While there's no official announcement as yet, Jim Bowers of CapedWonder.com has received word from a Warner Home Video representative that plans are in place to release Seasons 2-4 of the "Adventures of Superboy" TV series.

    There was a belief for many years that the original film elements had been destroyed, but tonight I received confirmation that they are actually sitting in the WB vaults! The project is in the early stages, and everything is being gathered together now to move forward with it. When will the episodes be released? How much restoration will be done? Will there be extras? Will they be released as a DVD box set or released through WB's Video on Demand website? It is still too early to answer these questions.

We'll keep you informed as further information about this news comes to hand. Congratulations to SuperboyHomepage.com and SuperboyTheater.net for their ongoing efforts to have this news become a reality.

May 15, 2012: Possible "Man of Steel" Visuals Described

Man of Steel A person claiming to be a Visual Effects Supervisor who has worked on films such as Avatar, Iron Man, and Sin City posted the following message on the IMDB forums, describing what he claims are visuals from the upcoming "Man of Steel" movie, which were shown during a sizzle reel Weta played for those in attendance at a recent conference.

    I'm a visual effects supervisor for the upcoming film After.Earth, the M. Night picture. I've also done work on Avatar, Iron Man, and Sin City. I'm on IMDb. I'll admit I check my own page from time to time. It feels good.

    I frequent this board often, I'm a huge comic book fan (as shown by the movies I've worked on). Last night at a VFX conference there was a sizzle reel shown by Weta. In this sizzle reel there were two beta level(most likely from a trailer) clips shown. One only about 6 seconds long, the other much longer.

    The former was Clark Kent grabbing a truck with a crying man inside of it while flying through the middle of a tornado. It looked incredible. Henry Cavill can fly, and he can hold a truck in one arm. Zack Snyder brings his usual visual flair, but somehow is still unlike anything he has made before. It felt like a Superman comic. Real heroism.

    The longer clip was even more stunning, but the more I think about it, slightly concerning. The clip consisted of Superman in full costume in a verbal argument with Zod in the center of Smallville with Christopher Meloni yells at them through a megaphone next to a tank. Meloni warns them he will fire if they do not surrender. While he says this Zod sizes Superman up. Shannon looks evil as he can be. Bone chilling even. And is DEFINITELY sporting enhanced muscle. Cavill's Superman is a wonderful sight to behold in motion. Cavill's pure size makes him the most believable Superman to date. Zod speaks in Kryptonian "Do you know your native tongue, Kal-el?" Superman looks stunned, and responds in English, "Who are you?" (there isn't enough Superman dialogue to judge Cavill's performance fairly, but I'd say he did well. Nothing spectacular from this clip.) Meloni curses, then into a walkie talkie orders the tank to fire. Superman hears this and turns to the tank. Zod takes this opportunity to sucker punch Superman(in Zack Snyder slow-then-fast-mo) then when the tank fires Superman rushes in front of Zod, despite the punch and catches the exploding missile near his stomach. The flames ripple around him, hit his face, his cape, his eyes. The shrapnel hits him and bounces off. The same happens to Zod to a lesser extent. Meloni's shocked expression when they remain standing, silhouettes in a cloud of smoke, ends the clip.

    It was incredible, it really was. And absolutely visually stunning, but my qualm is its typical Zack Snyder. It doesn't look glossy like his films do. It instead has a more clean cut, colorful look. Like Thor, or Iron Man. But it is the same slow-mo styling that people expect from him. Maybe it just happens in this one scene, but it happens twice. Makes me a bit hesitant, despite the fact it looks phenomenal.

UPDATE: It has been verified that the above description was posted by Jonathan Rothbart, a Visual Effects Supervisor who attended a VFX banquet at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena where WETA presented a sizzle reel which contained visuals from many different movies, including the above mentioned clips from "Man of Steel".

May 15, 2012: Justice League and Superman "Beyond" Interview

Superman Beyond #2 ComicBookResources.com caught up with the creative teams behind the "Justice League Beyond" and "Superman Beyond" chapters collected in the "Batman Beyond Unlimited" comic book title. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    The Superman we see here is much changed from the Man of Steel readers best know. What do you find most interesting about the kind of existential crisis he's dealing with now that he's back on earth, and how does that contrast with the hero he still is?

    Krul: What's most interesting to me is that it's relatable. I've met people who have had trouble getting into Superman because he's too good or too powerful. People see him as being perfect, without flaws or doubts or fears -- so unlike us mere mortals. But at this time in his life, he's in the same boat we all are. You could almost liken it to growing up and moving away from your hometown. Not to say that Superman was a child before, but as a character he seemed to go from a loving and supportive environment in Smallville to a very positive experience in Metropolis, befriending the likes of Lois, Jimmy, and Perry. Here, we see him struggling to identify himself without those people around him. He's alone and must chart a new path in a new world. Isn't that what we all have to do at some point? Branch out into the world and figure out who we are going to be?

    We've got some new competition for Superman in Metropolis thanks to some high powered police. Where do they fit into the story moving forward? Is there a way they'll work for or against Superman's future?

    Krul: One of the key things Superman is struggling with is this feeling of isolation. With everyone he knows gone, he's having trouble staying connected to the world, and Metropolis specifically. Before, it's always been about the city needing Superman, but with these supercops, they seem to have things under control. However, powers aren't everything and that's what I wanted to explore. Sure, Superman has amazing abilities, but those powers are not what makes him "super." It's what's on the inside -- his honor, his moral fiber, his courage -- that's how he inspires people. That's the benchmark he sets for the rest of us. He's a do-gooder and I mean that in the best way possible. Maybe, that's why he's still needed -- to be that example... that beacon.

    May 15, 2012: "Young Justice: Legacy" - Poll Position

    Poll Position In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked the question:

    Will you buy the "Young Justice: Legacy" Video Game?

    While it's still a fair way away (February 2013), there's been a lot of news surrounding the upcoming "Young Justice: Legacy" video game, with game publisher Little Orbit revealing the identity of all twelve playable superheroes, and all but one of the villains players will be up against.

    While 35% say they won't be buying the game, and 29% are still sitting on the fence, it was interesting to see that the PS3 polled the most votes for the system of choice for "Young Justice: Legacy", as it was the Xbox 360 that polled most votes in a similar poll we recently ran for the "LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes" video game.
