Recently I published my latest blog on the release of the new Supergirl Blu-ray import from Germany (and also Austria), and as soon as it dropped, comments came out of the woodwork. And let me just say at the start that this was not what I expected. To briefly recap, Plaion Pictures recently came out…

It seems like it’s been a lot more than 40 years since the Supergirl spinoff film was released in theaters, but it’s not. It was 1984 that saw the release of this film spinoff from the successful Superman trilogy from producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind. And now, to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary, a brand…

Up to this point I’ve covered one particular topic after another in the Superman film universe, so here’s a few quick little bits to share with you that I’ve picked up along the way… First off, I recently completed another rewatch of the Restored International Cut of Superman II to analyze those particular scenes that…

With the forthcoming release of the second storyline in the Superman ‘78 series, you would think that there would be plenty of variant editions out there for both series. This past week the Superman Homepage website dropped the announcement for the latest variant cover of the first issue of the original series, and this one…

The news dropped yesterday out of nowhere, and on one hand it was what we were expecting to hear for the past year, and yet on the other hand we definitely didn’t see this coming yesterday. And I have to give credit to my friend Jim Bowers and the CapedWonder Superman Podcast for being the…

You don’t see too many fan films based on the Superman franchise. Usually when you hear the term “fan film”, what immediately comes to mind are the plethora of Star Wars fan films which expand upon that galaxy far, far away and delve into deeper, original characters and their own experiences with the Force.
