SUPERMANS

The first category is "Are We Sure These Are Different Costumes?" These outfits look exactly like the Man of Steel's regular attire with the colors swapped out. They're not intrinsically uncreative; they're just similar to the original. Australia, China, Italy, Nigeria, and Portugal fall into this category. Canadian Superman fits the bill too, but he gets a special mention for accidentally looking exactly like Omni-Man. The second category is "What If Superman Wore Armor, Though?" These are the outfits…

In "Action Comics" #1059, Superman debuts his new armor as he fights the Blue Earth Movement in the streets of Metropolis. He takes some of its soldiers out, but Norah Stone manages to get what she is looking for, trapping his adopted son from Warworld, Osul-Ra, in a psychic hold and telling him they have much to discuss before freeing him. After the fight, Superman learns Stone doctored public videos of the battle to make it look like Blue Earth was protecting his home city against the Super-Family's…

Not because people aren’t fans of Zachary Levi or because they have “superhero fatigue.” But perhaps it’s because we saw this superhero story before in a previous DC superhero film. According to Reddit user u/2695movie, the Shazam! sequel shared a similar story to Zack Snyder’s Superman. In a post shared on r/DC_Cinematic, OP attached stills of the film’s final moments where Shazam sacrificed himself…

The old DC adage (with apologies to Voltaire) always went that if Superman did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Perhaps such religious imagery goes some way to explaining why, despite umpteen reboots over the years, and even though the character had been in existence for four decades by the time he really arrived on the big screen, it is Richard Donner’s 1978 take, starring the quietly majestic Christopher Reeve, that remains the definitive iteration. For comic-book fans, that version of the man of steel…

Image via DC COmics Reddit users have been speculating if the newly knitted DCU, masterminded by James Gunn and Peter Safran, will ever reveal Superman’s unexploited power of super-weaving! Even if you know Big Blue’s powers, his eight-decade career may surprise you. The famous radio line that captured the imagination in the early 1940s radio show by describing his ability to “leap tall buildings at a single leap bound” seems a bit obvious for a superhero famous for flying. Until you remember that Big Blue first…

Steve Granitz / WireImage / DC Comics DC fans are still coming down from the high of Jan. 31’s deluge of announcements for DCU Chapter One, with James Gunn delivering a full slate of thrilling upcoming movies and TV series that promise the future is — finally — looking bright for the DC universe.

Robert Pattinson’s The Batman Shaped By Matt Reeves ( Photo Credit – Movie Still ) A lot is happening in the DCU camp at the moment.

Batman has been in a hell of his own making for months now, ever since writer Chip Zdarsky took the reins on the character’s flagship series. As drawn by Jorge Jimenez, the Caped Crusader has battled “Failsafe,” an unstoppable robot designed by Batman’s own emergency back-up personality to activate and kill him if he should ever break his rule against killing. Failsafe has so far chewed through Batman (several times), all of Batman’s family, and even Justice League members the likes of Superman himself. Last issue,…
