It’s a Superman Thing

Man of Steel comes out this week, and what better way to prepare than with this awesome Superman shield collection! The infographic was made by Kate Willaert for Halloweencostumes.com. Really? Halloweencostumes.com is into this kind of thing? I have grossly underestimated them. Click the jump to see the whole thing.

Oh Right, That New Superman Movie Comes Out Next Week

With only one week to go before Man of Steel hits theaters, the good people at Nokia have released one final trailer – and it’s pretty action-packed! I think we’re going to see Chitauri-level destruction from just the battle of Superman vs. Zod.

I have been pretty damn pleased with the state of big summer movies so far this year. I loved both Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness, so Man of Steel has a lot to live up to. Fortunately, every trailer I’ve seen so far has been fantastic, so I’m not worried. I would love nothing more than for Man of Steel to be a hit and lead on to a DC Movieverse. I’d even be willing to let the Ryan Reynolds’ Green Lantern movie be part of that universe as long as Man of Steel is awesome.

Picking on Superman Returns Will Make Me Feel Better

Nothing better to make up for a day of intense day job than picking on Superman Returns. That movie was just terrible.

Sometimes I think my day job might be more exciting for you guys to read about than my random comic book ramblings. I’m a police reporter for a city newspaper, and today we had a double homicide followed by a manhunt for the killer, who was still on foot in the neighborhood. Exciting times. But still, suck it, Superman Returns!

Thanks Cinema Sins.

Superman Kicks the Ultimate Nut Shot

Oh Freddie Wong, you can do no wrong. Although I think we all know that Superman doesn’t have a goatee. Please.

New Man of Steel Trailer Focuses on General Zod

General Zod is a horrible choice for villain in a Superman movie. What’s the point of Superman being the last son of Krypton is there are a bunch more? Plus he’s just visually unappealing. Lex Luthor is such a good villain because he’s just as smart as Superman is strong. General Zod is basically just evil Superman, and we’ve already got Bizarro for that.

The new trailer for Man of Steel still looks awesome. The size and scope of this film look amazing. Unlike The Wolverine, I am definitely still excited for Man of Steel. But I definitely don’t care for Zod yet at all. Or his evil plot. But maybe the movie will make him work. We’ll see.

At any rate, enjoy the latest trailer. What do you guys and gals think of Man of Steel so far? Excited? Disinterested? Do you think anybody will ever make a good Superman movie again?
