The Canadian Screen Awards are always a lot of fun for Sue and I. It allows is the opportunity to catch up with friends in front of and behind the camera and make new ones as well. We were wonderfully outfitted for the night by the folks at Vistek. Make sure you check out their…

The DC Animated Universe welcomes another staple from the comic world to Metropolis this week with the introduction of John Henry Irons (Micheal Dorn). Prototype first aired on 11 October, 1997. Irons is an inventor, but it seems that his new power suit, has made it’s pilot, Corey Mills (Xander Berkley) very unstable. The suit…

There are strange things afoot for Lois Lane (Dana Delaney) in Brave New Metropolis, the first episode up this week. Originally airing on 27 September, 1997, Lois is thrown into an alternate reality, where the bustling city is run by Superman (Tim Daly) and Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown), who do so with force and tyranny….

Superman: The Animated Series (1996) -The Last Son of Krypton Parts I, II and III
It’s time now to turn to the other titan of the DC universe as I dive into Superman: The Animated Series. Launching on 6 September, 1996, the series started with a three part story that retold the classic story of Kal-El’s (Tim Daly) arrival on Earth after the destruction of Krypton, and growing int…
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) – Zack Snyder
The Hero’s Code. It apparently means nothing to Batman (Ben Affleck). It apparently means nothing to Superman (Henry Cavill). And that’s troubling, because as a child, they were two of the characters I grew up with that taught me what it was. But even worse, the creative forces behind the scenes of the latest…
Superman Returns (2006) – Bryan Singer
It’s back to the Sci-Fi Chronicles book (I realize this one is starting to overshadow the Great Movie – 100 Years of Film book, but I’m really enjoying it, especially when I can chain-watch a series of films one after the other). This time, I have a look at Bryan Singer’s 2006 update of…
Superman III (1983) – Richard Lester
My time with Kal-El (Christopher Reeve) continues during my exploration of the Sci-Fi Chronicles book, and where nostalgia will forgive a lot of the things in Superman II, it can’t even pretend with Superman III; though, admittedly, there are a few sequences and story threads I like. However, if director Richard Lester’s version of…
Superman II (1980) – Richard Lester
The Sci-Fi Chronicles book just keeps paying off, I’m loving this incredibly large tome, and I can’t believe how quickly I’m working my way through it (admittedly I’ve seen, and reviewed a lot of the stuff before). Having previously reviewed Superman: The Movie, I moved forward to the next title, Superman II. Now, I…
Superman (1978) – Richard Donner
Anyone who knows me, knows that alongside Iron Man, my favorite comic book hero of all time is Superman. He has always given me something to strive for, to try to make myself better than I am, to hold myself and others to a higher form of ideals. And all of that stems back to…
