I am looking forward to hearing the DC Daily crews thoughts on Sins of the Mother since they talk about all the liberties it took with the comics, but that episode is one of the more heavily comic inspired among them.
Both the BOP discussion (they previous ones have been fab.)
And the final installment of the Superman movie club. Each of those has gotten me to watch them again, via the service. III is a fun story. It kinda has this silver age “weird Kryptonit effect” and it shows the comedic genius of Richard Pryor and the little remembered fact that he really could do “clean” comedy on par with his “bluer” material.
“The fun never stops on Selina Kyle’s answering machine.”
They all sound like fun, but I’m especially jazzed for the Rock of Ages discussion. It’s absolutely my favorite arc from my favorite run from my all-time favorite Justice League ongoing series.
The SMC will be fun. Given that they gave III a respectful overview, I’m expecting the same for IV. In all honesty, I feel IV gets way too much hate, as there are many more truly awful comic based movies than one that is about worldwide nuclear weapon disarmament (which is an interesting topic for any movie, especially a Superman flick). Plus, Superman IV marked the DC movie debut of actor William Hootkins (Jek Porkins in Star Wars, the “Top…men.” guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Detective Eckhardt in Batman).
The Year of the Villain Special sounds intriguing. I’m curious what that will entail.
I’m glad that DC Daily continually highlights what’s going in the current publishing ecosphere. Not only is it good marketing to get people to buy comics (which the Publishing Department surely likes), but it’s also just really cool to see brand new comics be discussed on TV.
Hey @Vroom, have you ever visited Supmermanhomepage.com ? Right now they’re doing a poll for the worst Superman film and right now Superman 4 is in the lead by 204 votes!
But as you said maybe the film got a bit to much hate. In my opinion Superman 4 was one of the worst film, but Batman & Robin was ALOT much more worst then Superman 4! The only thing I don’t like about Superman 4, is that kid Jeremy! Nuclear man was ok. But it was great to see Lex again!
Superman IV is still better than Superman and The Mole Men. I mean no offense to Lippert Pictures, Incorporated (the distributor of Superman and The Mole Men), but it is true.
Jeremy was played by Damian McLawhorn. It seems that Super Sons was not, in fact, the first time a Damian would come to be involved in a Superman tale afterall.
