Superman and Lois: Breaking Down the New Superman TV Costume

Superman and Lois, the first Arrowverse DC TV series headlined by the Man of Steel (and the first live action show to actually put the word “Superman” in the title in 25 years) is arriving in February. And with this new series, a fresh start for the Man of Steel and family, Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman is getting a brand new costume. Don’t worry, this isn’t some Hollywood executive’s attempt to make Supes “edgy” or more hardcore. Fans should rest easy that TK. Tyler Hoechlin has been playing Clark Kent in the former-Arrowverse since Supergirl Season 2, when he won over…

Superman & Lois: New Details on Smallville Setting & Characters

“This family needs Smallville… as much as the world needs Superman.” That was one of the featured Superman & Lois lines in the new trailer for “The CWverse,” which dropped earlier this month. The superhero spinoff—which will see Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch reprising the roles of Clark Kent (aka Superman) and Lois Lane, respectively, which they have previously only ever inhabited on a guest star basis—is one of the big premieres for The CW in 2021. At today’s DC Fandome panel, we got some insight into what to expect from the family drama, including details on that Smallville setting.…

New Superman Suit Set for Superman & Lois TV Series

Today is the second part of DC Fandome, which means tons of details about the most-anticipated shows on the DC docket. Superman & Lois, the Arrowverse (now known as The CWverse) spinoff set to premiere in 2021, is one such show. Jim Lee, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics, sat down with Superman & Lois showrunner Todd Helbing and Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin (Clark/Superman) and Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois) to talk all things Lois and Clark—perhaps, most importantly, Superman’s new super-suit. That’s right! Helbing confirmed that Clark would be getting a new suit for the Superman &…

Superman Writer Departs Series

Brian Michael Bendis, the legendary comics writer and one of the sharpest eyes for talent in the entire comics industry, is wrapping up his long run on the Superman comics in December. Bendis made the jump to DC in 2018, after a 17 year (potentially industry-saving, depending on who you talk to) run at Marvel, and immediately landed on DC’s biggest character. Man of Steel launched his run which, when combined with his follow ups on Action Comics and Superman, will have stretched to almost 75 issues after December’s Action Comics #1028 and Superman #28 hit. And that doesn’t include…

Link Tank: The Brief Revival of a Superman Broadway Musical from the ’60s

It’s a Bird … It’s a Plane … It’s Superman was a 1966 musical flop that almost saw a revival in 2010. Here’s what happened. “Dallas is a long way from Metropolis, but within the space-age architecture of the Dallas Theater Center, Superman was preparing to take flight. It was 2010, and the organization was on the verge of premiering what it hoped would be one of the biggest shows in its history: an entirely reimagined take on the 1966 Broadway production It’s a Bird … It’s a Plane … It’s Superman.” Read more at Vulture. Toshiba, a long-time household…

Justice League Snyder Cut Scene Reveals Black Suit Superman

The rise in anticipation for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, generally known as “The Snyder Cut” continues. One of the many questions surrounding the theatrically released version of film in the was why Superman’s journey from “rose from the dead on the wrong side of the crypt” to “actually this is pretty much the Superman we’ve wanted on screen for the last 30 years” seemed a little abbreviated. After all, in the comics, when Superman died at the spikey hands of Doomsday, he didn’t return to primary colored and caped glory right away. Instead, he spent a little time in a black and…

Superman: The Man of Tomorrow – Trailer and Release Date for New DC Animated Movie

If there’s one thing DC loves, it’s reboots. The comics cycle through their continuity in one form or another every decade or so, the movies…well…that’s a whole thing, too. So of course now it’s time for the DC animated movies to get a fresh start. And this time, they’re doing it with the hero who should pretty much always be the center of these things: Superman. Since 2014, there have been 20 DC Universe Animated Original Movies, most of which existed in a shared continuity that began with Justice League: War and culminated in this year’s Justice League Dark: Apokalips…

Henry Cavill Plans to Play Superman for Years to Come

Henry Cavill’s big screen DC Extended Universe tenure as Superman is far from finished… at least if he has anything to say about the matter. In an “Actors on Actors” Variety interview with Patrick Stewart, Cavill conveys apparent unbridled enthusiasm for his run as Superman; a role that, per a 2018 trade report, he was believed to have exited after an alleged shakeup by Warner Bros. in the financially and critically underwhelming aftermath of 2017 megamovie Justice League. Pertinently, Cavill’s sudden surge of Superman sanguineness arrives shortly after a late-May report’s claim that he is in talks with the studio…

Henry Cavill Reportedly Returning as Superman in New DCEU Movie

Production may have pretty much ground to a halt in the industry but there is a LOT going on behind the scenes in Hollywood right now, as studios are forced to slow down and reflect on past decisions and future prospects. Consequently, WarnerMedia seems to be feeling a lot more romantic about the old DCEU than it was just a few months ago. Not only are we getting the near-mythical Justice League Snyder Cut via streaming on HBO Max, there’s a distinct possibility that David Ayer might get to turn in his own version of Suicide Squad at some point…

Matthew Vaughn Wanted to Cast Daredevil’s Charlie Cox as Superman

Daredevil star Charlie Cox was on Matthew Vaughn’s mind back in 2008 when he found himself on the list that Warner Bros and DC had drawn up for possible directors to pair with their new Superman movie. Though the powers that be eventually chose Zack Snyder to helm what would end up being Man of Steel, and Henry Cavill to star in it, Vaughn was understandably excited about what he could bring to the project, and one of those things could have very well been his Stardust leading man. In a new interview, Vaughn’s frequent collaborator Mark Millar has been…
