Awesome Superman

Antonis and Stavros Fylladitis and a team of dedicated DC Comics fans created this CGI short inspired by Alex Ross’ incredible Kingdom Come Superman. Created with Unreal Engine 5, the film drops us into a world where chaos has won, and even the greatest superheroes have lost their way. Can Superman rise from the darkness?

Superman and Homelander both have heat vision. Whether they use their laser eyes for good or evil, it’s quite the spectacle. Hacksmith Industries replicated heat vision in real life by building a wearable rig with high-power lasers and eye-tracking. Of course, they couldn’t resist the urge to use them to burn stuff.

Look! Up on your wall! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s an organizer shelf! Artori Design’s playful superhero shelf doubles as a piece of wall art. In addition to providing space on top for small items like watches, phones, and wallets, Supes’ extended arm and cape provide spots to hang keys or other stuff. Measures 16.5″w x 4.5″h.

Director Zack Snyder is finally releasing the Justice League he wanted to make. This trailer sees Batman rallying his fellow metahumans after a premonition of a terrifying threat to Earth, and teases new footage, including more screen time for Cyborg, baddie Darkseid, and the return of Joker. Premieres on HBO Max 3.18.2021.

Max and Dave Fleischer’s 1940s Superman cartoons are beloved. But the quality of the public domain videos online isn’t very good. Jose Argumedo ran the episode “The Bulleteers” through Waifu2x, a neural network upscaling application that recovered an incredible amount of detail, especially compared to the source video.

Undone’s formidable black watch is inspired by the world of Superman. It has a sandblasted, PVD-coated gunmetal case, and its dial has a meteorite texture. Around its bezel is a secret message decoder ring, based on the 1943 Secret Superman Code, which is also engraved on its case back. Limited time pre-order price.

DC Comics‘ illustrated reference details theories on the physiology and abilities of the publisher’s most famous super-powered characters. As if that wasn’t interesting enough, it’s presented as a sketchbook created by Batman.

Animator Deekay worked with audio designer QBSound to put together this amusing and cheeky little clip that reminds us of a time when Batman and Superman didn’t hate each other, and were actually the best of buddies.

Sideshow Collectibles‘ statue depicts Batman duking it out with Superman. Bats is armed with a Batarang and a kryptonite ring, while Supes has an interchangeable head that shows him firing off his heat vision. Their capes are made of fabric and are poseable.

The makers of Justice League had to digitally remove actor Henry Cavill’s mustache during reshoots. Now Darth Blender has given Supes the mustache we all deserve, along with a little bit of appropriate music a fellow mustachioed hero – Freddie Mercury.

DC Icons’ The Death of Superman action figure 2-pack lets you recreate the eponymous comic book arc that saw the Man of Steel fall in a lethal draw against Doomsday. It comes with a diorama base that has Supes’ tattered cape. Also on Amazon. More photos on Toyark.

Still reeling from the loss of Superman, the world finds itself invaded by an otherworldly army that brings death, destruction, black and orange. DC Comics and Warner Bros. show that Ragnarok isn’t exclusive to Marvel in the latest trailer for Justice League.

Wonder Woman leads the charge, the Flash is too young for this sh*t and Aquaman does the Bryce Harper move in our latest look at Zack Snyder’s Justice League. We’re not sure why they still look up to Superman after Dawn of Justice though.

Bats and Supes might have been mortal enemies the last time they met up, but they can’t stay mad at each other forever. Stage an official reconciliation in your bathtub with these goofy rubber duckies modeled after DC’s two biggest superheroes. Also sold individually.

The Mortal Kombat of superhero games returns with a more customizable experience. Injustice 2 will let you earn equippable items to improve and personalize your favorite DC character. The game will also have more characters and stages than its predecessor.

“Tell me. Do you… have insurance?” HISHE finally gets around to slaughtering the travesty that is Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, from its infuriatingly stupid titular heroes to the totally avoidable ending. The real question here is why the movie even began production.

Screen Junkies takes on Bryan Singer’s Superman ho-boo-quel that somehow manages to be both creepy and boring at the same time. Supes’ flicks make him look like a dumb relic, but there are sublime stories about him. It’s just really hard to tell great tales about a god.

Mr. Sunday Movies summarizes the nixed screenplay from 2002 for a movie called Asylum, where Batman and Superman also fight but of course end up being bros by the end. It’s as dumb as comic book movies go, but at least we got Sean Willets’ funny fistfight drawings.

Kaptain Kristian takes a look at the earliest on-screen days of the Man of Steel, through the brilliant animation work of brothers Max and Dave Fleischer, who not only defined so much of what makes the character who he is, but set the bar for animation for years to come.

After exploring the many permutations of Batman, the folks from Burger Fiction are back to look at some of the numerous ways that the Man of Steel has been portrayed on screen. Despite the cheese factor, nobody has done it better than Christopher Reeve if you ask us.

Given the fact that Superman could destroy a universe with a sneeze, we’re unconvinced that Batman has a chance in hell in a fight. Even with the oddball Portland, Oregon versions of these superheroes doing battle, it’s clear who’s possesses the real power.

Clark Kent’s glasses may be the dumbest disguise ever thought of. Or are they? Henry Cavill thinks that Clark might actually be overdoing it. The actor paraded around Times Square with a photographer and a Superman t-shirt on, but New York ignored him.

We’re not sure you can call it a retrospective two of the movies haven’t even been released yet, but we were still drawn in by editor Miguel Branco’s excellent tribute to some of the recent appearances of DC Comics characters on the big screen.
