Our First Look at the New Movie Superman
James Gunn posted this picture online today to reveal our first official look at the new movie Superman, played by actor David Corenswet. I think it looks great! This image is going to be picked apart by the various vultures on the internet, and I’m one of them, to a degree! Only my picking apart is all praise. Looks great to me.
I’m looking forward to this new movie — which comes out on July 11 next year. I have nothing but complete and total faith in James Gunn and his moviemaking. He’s going to make an incredible film! And he’s going to hopefully spearhead and incredible new DC Cinematic Universe.
The suit looks good to me. It’s a bit on the dark side, but that’s fine. Honestly, I would definitely prefer this look over some bright, skintight spandex. The suit looks good, the colors are good, the symbol is good; he’s apparently wearing the red trunks, which I fully support. The cape attachment looks fine to me. Yeah, I’ve got no real complaints! Bring on the new movie!
And here’s a List of Six I did some time ago for everything I’d like to see in the new movie.

Jim Lee Draws the Amalgam Universe!
I am a big, big fan of the Amalgam Universe of comics. I lived through that stuff when it came out, though I wasn’t as plugged into comics back then as I am today. It’s just such an insane and awesome idea, that DC and Marvel would not only work together, but then create this insane, combined character universe?! It’s wonderful and silly!
And they’re reprinting those comics! There’s going to be a new Amalgam Omnibus coming out this summer, collecting a bunch of, if not all, of the issues. They probably don’t hold up, but I’m sure as heck buying the book just to make it part of my collection. And in order to make this omnibus look as good as possible, they’ve got Jim Lee drawing the wrap-around cover.
Behold!
That’s a fun picture! Dark Claw! Spider-Boy! Amazon! Super Soldier! I love that this is happening. I love that attention is being paid. I don’t imagine many of the comics will actually hold up, but they don’t need to. I just wanna own this awesome piece of comics history. And it helps to have a picture like that by the great Jim Lee to really make it shine.
Now what unholy pact has to be signed to get new, modern day Amalgam comics?

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/20/24
Hello everyone! If you didn’t see my post earlier this week, I’m thinking of backing off a bit on writing so much for this blog. While I still love reading and writing about comics, I want to lighten up on the rigid schedule I’ve set for myself to get everything read and reviewed. There were a bunch of good comics this week, like more Nightwing and Superman, so I wanted to review them. But things may change going forward.
Comic Book of the Week is Wonder Woman #8 for just another phenomenal chapter to this gripping ongoing story! New storyline kicks off with style.
Meanwhile, I loved the Fallout TV show, I’m loving the X-Men cartoon and I’m very much enjoying Shogun. So all is well with me in TV land. I’m hoping to spend this weekend finally starting God of War: Ragnarok, which I got for free when I bought my Playstation 5. I expect that game to be a hoot!
Comic Reviews: Nightwing #300, Superman #13 and Wonder Woman #8.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 4/13/24
My readership numbers have been going down lately. Is anybody actually reading and enjoying these reviews? I know I don’t have any particularly interesting insights, but I do enjoy talking about comics. Including ThunderCats and Transformers!
Comic Book of the Week is Action Comics #1064, kicking off an awesome new Superman story that was teased some time ago.
Meanwhile, I’m still recovering from Episode 5 of X-Men ’97. Holy heck this show is good! And i’ve started watching Fallout, which is awesome. We’re feasting good these days! In the video game world, a friend of mine got me onto Evil Genius 2, which is a fun base-builder. It’s a nice game to lose a couple hours to.
Comic Reviews: Action Comics #1064, ThunderCats #3 and Transformers #7.
Read the rest of this entryI Actually Like the Trailer for Joker: Folie a Deux
I wasn’t a big fan of the first Joker movie. It was dark and misanthropic, which is what it was going for, and just wasn’t my cup of tea. Well we’re getting a sequel that introduces Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, and now we’ve got our first trailer! And I actually like this trailer.
I’m a big fan of musicals, and turning Joker 2 into a musical should be a hoot. They definitely turned it into a good musical trailer. Will that mean the movie is good? I don’t know. I doubt these films will ever be my cup of tea. But I shall never yick somebody else’s yum. So huzzah this movie!
Joker: Folie a Deux comes to theaters on Oct. 4.
