The other post that showed up isn’t due to at least tomorrow or as filler. Sorry for the confusion. There’s only one article that should have gone live tonight, and it was this one.
On a recent Thinking Critical podcast (hat tip to Bleeding Fool), Mark Millar discussed being ready for Superman to hit public domain in eight years and Batman in nine. That sounds close, but remember each year is 365 days. That makes a rough calculation of 5113 days, give or take a few months, before that happens. It seems early to be ready to jump in on Superman, but Millar already has an artist on retainer the moment he’s legally able to make a Superman comic. He’s even talking about snagging DC artists to help him make the comics. He’s ready…or is he?
Debuting in Action Comics #1, Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane are the only characters to make it past those early comics. The Kents were introduced later and the only standout from that first issue, Zatara, is mostly known these days not for his own adventures but being the father of Zatanna, a dominate member in various versions of the Justice League. Given the treatment of those characters and their circle of family and friends over the years, from constantly killing off Jonathan Kent while making his namesake grandson lose his childhood so they could age him up to CW friendly (making him bisexual to me was just to keep from changing him back as the fun free mindset that DiDio put in place is still dominant), to letting people make comics and movies who aren’t just incapable of understanding Superman but are downright antagonistic to what he stands for regardless of writing talent or lack thereof, many think it can’t be a moment too soon.
Hold up, though. While everyone is so excited to start their own Superman stories, let’s remember a few things. The Superman and cast you know are not going to be available. In fact, only Superman and Lois will be available at launch. Just like with Mickey Mouse, there are a few rules that need to be followed before you start telling the Man Of Steel’s adventures…like not being able to call him the Man Of Steel, or many of his other nicknames. The copyright will be in public domain, but the trademarks aren’t, and there’s still a stopping point even for the copyrights.

So we have another timeskip. Things have changed again, and I’m trying to catch up. Also, I didn’t review this one prior, or at least it isn’t coming up. My first Media Library image is #200, so I may have gone back at some point and picked these next two comics up and didn’t review it for some reason.

Dissecting The Current Star Wars “Iger Vs Kennedy” Rumor
As much as I prefer to look at the end product and see its strengths and weaknesses, the backstage on this one is almost as hard to ignore as the culture war invasion. Seeing how often “woke” gets brought up because a few critics out there don’t know what the term is supposed to mean–not being garbage in general but the specific cause being extremist sociopolitical ideology based on pushing stereotypes and attacking anyone outside the hive mind–the formerly known “political correctness” now called “the right side of history” is only one issue with the current Hollywood climate and any media it has corrupted along with itself. The corporate nonsense is also an issue. I didn’t put corporatists above activists in the SEECA acronym just because it sounded better when spoken. The other three–snobs, elitists, and egoists–do fight for first place and that WAS a pronunciation decision. Just for the record.
Now YouTuber Den Of Nerds just dropped a major rumor bomb that changes the corporate discussion about how poorly the Star Wars franchise has been maintained…but not the way the host thinks it does. From his livestream channel podcasts came a rumor from his most trusted leak source that the most hated changes in the Star Wars lore came not from LucasFilm head Kathleen Kennedy but Disney CEO Bob Iger. This supposedly changes the entire narrative. Iger is the real villain and all the hate that Kennedy has gotten has been misplaced and she’s actually the one trying to fix Star Wars. Yeah, pressing X to doubt on…some of this. I think there’s plenty of blame to go around here. Still, let’s give the host a chance to make his case. There’s also a clip that comes from one of his more recent streams, hosted at the clips channel for his livestreams because YouTube is a mess onto itself you need three channels for the same show to get the algorithm to play nice with you.
From the three I grabbed his regular video apologizing to Kennedy for his own comments, which discusses everything that he’s put together after getting this report. Note that what is about to be said is rumor and should be treated as such. Also, there is swearing, which is not a regular thing here at the Spotlight, which is why I bring it up when it’s there.
