Man of Steel is the greatest movie-film that the omniverse has ever seen. At least that’s what we’ve been hearing from anybody who’s ever seen even a single snippet of the superhero film. Hyperbole aside, the amount of ebullient praise that’s been poured on it already is an especially high accolade for director Zack Snyder considering how different this Superman is from …
If there was ever somebody to challenge Joss Whedon’s reign as Supreme Geek Overlord, JJ Abrams would be it. But while Whedon came to his title through, well just outgeeking every other geek, Abrams did it through simply owning all the toys. With both Star Trek and Star Wars now in his pocket, Abrams has become quite the geek power player, …
As the American Summer draws closer (already?!), the question remains: Which will be the biggest superhero film of 2013?

Zack Snyder has a Man of Steel movie hitting us in June and so far, he’s being more tight-lipped about the project than known mafioso Johnny Tightlips. Also, go suck a lemon. While we know that film reboots the last son of Krypton for a more serious approach, we haven’t seen much more than a minute and a half of …
I’m actually kind of sad that Tim Burton never got to make his Superman Lives movie. By all accounts, it would have been crazy, weird and a 90 minute advert to sell more Superman toys. But dammit, it would have been worth it just to see Nicolas Cage as Clark Kent/Superman! Precious few photos or video have escaped from the …
