Man of Steel 2: Zack Snyder Teases Superman vs. Brainiac

New DVD releasebrainiac, snyder, steel, superman, teases

Zack Snyder’s 2013 Man of Steel was always intended to kick off a shared universe of DC superhero movies. And watching it today, it still feels like a really solid foundation for exactly that. It’s a “first contact” film in many ways, effectively showcasing how humanity reacts to someone more than human arriving in their midst, and Snyder’s signature style is tempered somewhat by an almost Nolan-esque patience and approach to the worldbuilding around Superman. Unfortunately, Man of Steel was critically divisive, and “only” took in $668 million at the worldwide box office. A more than respectable blockbuster figure, but…

This article contains spoilers for Zack Snyder’s Justice League and other DC movies. The timeline of the DC Extended Universe began in a fairly clear manner, with most of the events of Man of Steel set in 2013. As more films were released, containing flashbacks, or lacking a clear chronological setting, things became increasingly complicated. And by the time we got to Birds of Prey film, its precise placement in the DCEU is downright murky. But there are contextual in-universe clues in the form of media, gravestones, mugshot photos, or throwaway lines of dialogue that provide some clarity.  With the…

It’s hard to believe that it has been almost five years since Tyler Hoechlin made his first appearance as Superman in the Arrowverse. Since that initial guest appearance on Supergirl, Hoechlin’s Superman has become a staple of the wider DC TV universe, playing a central role in crossovers like Elseworlds and Crisis on Infinite Earths, and he’s about to headline Superman & Lois, the first Superman-dedicated show in a decade, and the first in 25 years to actually feature the title hero in costumed action. But Hoechlin could have donned the red cape several years earlier, as he had auditioned…

New DVD releasecontroversial, death, explains, screenwriter, steel

When Man of Steel came out in 2013, the Zack Snyder-directed reboot of Superman’s origins became immediately controversial with fans due to two sequences. In the first, a young Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) watches as his adoptive father Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) is killed by a tornado, with Jonathan covertly discouraging Clark from attempting to save him and possibly revealing his true identity as the Kryptonian alien Kal-El in the process. The second and even more hotly debated scene involved a final standoff between the now-adult Superman and the villainous General Zod (Michael Shannon) in a Metropolis train station, with…
