I agree with Sonny: this ain’t gonna happen. But still. The howling would reach the heavens…

The absolute funniest thing that could happen is for WB to announce MAN OF STEEL 2 with Zack Snyder and for us to learn that the Rolling Stone piece was planted by ousted execs bitter Snyder had owned them so thoroughly that he was coming back. That would be hilarious. https://t.co/8l7aTmF15m

The DC Fandome Superman Radio Drama revival.

Listening to FanDome’s Superman Radio Show now. It’s fun! Although GeekTyrant is correct; the sound quality needs a little work*. And I wasn’t aware how remarkably mad-sciency Jor-El was in the original. But I’m always up for a good Superman story.

*The ads might be annoying, too.

Hollywood can’t figure out Superman, and it’s their own damned fault.

GeekTyrant gets it where apparently Hollywood doesn’t, or at least GT gets a lot of it and I’m not going to quibble on the rest*:

Superman is a genuinely good person and a beacon of hope who uses his power to help people and keep the world safe and he also holds others with power accountable for their actions. How can they not see the relevance of that!?

TL9 Watch: Data Crystal technology.

Why this theme…

…wasn’t on autoplay throughout the story eludes me completely.

Honestly, this is how I like to see both Superman AND Batman portrayed.

Superman being the Bad Cop to Batman's Good Cop is the one thing I always needed but never knew I needed. pic.twitter.com/E1uqdvfvOG

I’m not sure I like the remastered look of this Batman: The Animated Series.

It’s complicated.

Tweet of the Day, HAHAHAHAHA edition.

I mean. It’s mean, but it’s funny. And only Superman could manage to do it.

So I was catching up on my Honest Trailers.

And this one went into a really interesting place at the end there.

I still didn’t really bond with Man of Steel, though. Dunno why. Although the lack of proper Superman music didn’t help matters any, of course.

I like it.

Was… anybody looking for a TV show set on pre-Jor-El Krypton?

I mean, this isn’t necessarily bad:

Syfy today announced it has greenlit a pilot for Krypton, the Superman prequel series set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet. Krypton will follow Superman’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos.

…but I don’t know if anybody was actually looking for something like this, ahead of time. Certainly it never occurred to me until I saw the article. Which may be a selling point for originality, although I suppose that Gotham is demonstrating that you can get eyeballs for prequels like this.
