Here’s my post of the Literature Devil’s video on the relevancy of Superman and Deku in modern superhero stories. I also recommend watching his video.
Then they brought him back and killed him off again because Brian Michael Bendis came from the increasingly anti-secret identity Marvel and DiDio is Dan Dido. And yet, I told you a long time ago that firing Danny wouldn’t immediately make everything better. It hasn’t. Future State may have been a remaining remnant of DiDio’s 5G plan but you’d think during the comics lockdown Diamond forced (it’s like their near-monopoly on comics was a bad thing) they could have started working on something better. Still, at least Future State was an alternate timeline and totally not the future. We won’t actually see Jon Kent take over for his dad while Clark goes off to liberate Warworld in actual continuity.
So coming up in the DC Universe in July Jon Kent becomes the new Superman while Clark goes to liberate Warworld.
How do I STILL not have facepalm images in my media library after over twelve years of this site? I mean, it hasn’t even been a year!

Last night we looked at NerdSync fixing how the recovery suit from the Return Of Superman story arc could have been better used in the Justice League Snyder Cut (which I may alternately refer to here on as “Snyder League” for short). But what about Man Of Steel, a movie that I STRESS YET AGAIN I thought was a decent superhero movie but as an adaptation of Superman completely missed why Superman is beloved enough to even get a movie in the first place, never mind numerous movies, even more numerous TV and audio series, and every other piece of media and merchandise that has come from the DC comic hero DC seems determined to completely alter or get rid of. (More on that tomorrow. Yeah, we might as well make a theme here that Friday’s going to break.) You can make a good movie and a terrible adaptation at the same time. These are not mutually exclusive but a bad adaptation will ruin enjoyment of a good movie based on a property you enjoy. It’s why as a fan of classic Battlestar Galactica I have no interest in the remake I call Battlestar Namesake.
The YouTube channel Center Row has taken a look at Man Of Steel for the series Film Fix, where the goal is to make the movie work better as an adaptation. I have my own thoughts I’d like to add to this one. That shouldn’t surprise you by now.
