James Gunn's Superman trailer included a beautiful tribute to John Williams' iconic theme, but I hope Gunn doesn't ignore another composer who has an important role in Superman's DC legacy. 1978's Superman: The Movie is arguably the birth of the superhero genre. Christopher Reeve's live-action version of Superman made viewers believe a man could fly, and the film is still seen as a landmark of cinematic spectacle. One of the film's most memorable aspects is its excellent score, created by Williams, adding to his legendary discography.

His theme is still synonymous with the hero almost 50 years later. It was reused in 2006's Superman Returns and an essential part of Superman's first trailer. However, it wasn't used in 2013's Man of Steel, as Zack Snyder's films in the Dceu timeline had a different tone than the Richard Donner Superman films. Hans Zimmer composed the score for Man of Steel,...

The first trailer for DC Studios' Superman confirmed the superpowers Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific will utilize upon arrival in the Dcu. 

Superman's marketing campaign is officially underway with a new synopsis along with the first full trailer for the July 2025 superhero blockbuster. Following a short teaser, fans got a glimpse at David Corenswet's Man of Steel along with his classic love interest, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, and other major players.

Also seen sporadically were the other superheroes who already inhabit the Dcu upon its debut, including the first takes on Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Metamorpho.

Superman is at a low point when audiences first glimpse him in the trailer for his new movie. Bloody and bruised, he crash lands in a frozen landscape. His breathing is labored, like he’s got fluid in his lungs, or maybe some broken ribs.

Then, there is hope on the horizon — in the form of his trusty friend, Krypto. “Take me home,” Superman says to his canine friend, later in the trailer (below).

It’s one of only two spoken lines in the piece — the other is a young boy, eyes closed and holding a makeshift flag who mutters “Superman, Superman” in desperate hope — but it’s a line that points to a hope writer-director James Gunn wanted to imbue his new film.

Created in 1938, Superman for decades embodied his motto, “Truth, Justice and the American Way,” with the character serving as a symbol for the good things America could represent for the world.

The first trailer for James Gunn's Superman will drop on Thursday, December 19, begging the question of what exact time it will be released. As the first official movie of the Dcu's Chapter One, Superman has a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only is it promising to be a return to the form for the character after the Dceu's more divisive take on the Man of Steel, but it is also the first step of a larger story. While Creature Commandos is currently airing on Max, James Gunn's Superman movie is touted as the true beginning of the Dcu.

After years of teasing via the cast announcements for Superman, the first look at the film is almost here. In December 2024, Gunn took to social media to unveil an official poster for the film that also promoted the first teaser trailer for Superman, revealing that it will be released on...

James Gunn has now confirmed that we will see more than one character from the Creature Commandos animated series in the upcoming Superman reboot.

We already knew that Frank Grillo is set to appear as Rick Flag Sr. after the actor was spotted with the captive Man of Steel (David Corenswet) in set photos, but who else could potentially make their live-action Dcu debut in the movie?

There's a decent chance Viola Davis will reprise her The Suicide Squad role as Amanda Waller, and there's a lot of speculation that Circe (Anya Chalotra) could make her presence felt following the events of Creature Commandos' two-episode premiere.

When asked if we could see Chalotra play the powerful sorceress on the big screen in a recent interview, Gunn responded: "There's definitely a chance Circe exists in other media."

As for that elusive first trailer, Gunn still hasn't given us much of an...

2025 is set to be a significant year for the Dcu, which is built on the foundations of the former Dceu. Although Creature Commandos will be the first release, both James Gunn and Peter Safran have emphasized that the upcoming Superman movie marks the true beginning of the Dcu.

While details about the plot remain scarce, set leaks and official announcements reveal an impressive cast. Notably, Gunn has “borrowed” several actors from rival Marvel projects.

As a result, we’ve compiled a summary of all the ‘Superman’ actors who have previously appeared in Marvel projects.

1. Frank Grillo – Rick Flag Sr (Dcu) / Crossbones (MCU)

Frank Grillo is best known for his role as the villain Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Endgame. The actor has openly admitted that he nearly got fired by Marvel multiple times for leaking information.

Although the likelihood of his character...

In last week's match-up of the Bam Smack Pow comic book tournament, I mentioned that popularity hasn’t always determined the winners. The genius bracket may have proven me wrong. However, who’s to say that my opinion is right or wrong? We’ve seen some victories from people who shouldn’t have won. So, maybe it isn’t all about who is more well-known. Take a look at last week's winners and decide for yourself.

The Riddler over the Maker (90% to 10%)Reed Richards over Cable (73% to 27%)Cyborg over Ozymanias (82% to 18%)Victor von Doom over Hank Pym (82% to 18%)Black Panther over Mr. Sinister (75% to 25%)Lex Luthor over Blue Marvel (80% to 20%)Mr. Terrific over Amadeus Cho (90% to 10%)Iron Man over Shuri (83% to 17%)

We’ve seen round 1 of the superheroes, supervillains, superhero and supervillain fighters, and geniuses. This bracket is full of people who are too powerful because of their abilities to...

Isabela Merced didn't tell DC about her Madame Web role in the casting process for Superman: Legacy. Merced had doubts about being able to do both Marvel/Sony and DC films. Other DC heroes, including Hawkgirl, will play a key role in Superman: Legacy, but Merced's Dcu future beyond the movie is unknown.

Superman: Legacy star Isabela Merced thought it was best not to tell DC about her Madame Web role. Merced will soon join the DC Universe as part of Superman: Legacy's talented cast, playing Hawkgirl. However, the actress will first appear as one of Madame Web's four main heroes — Anya Corazón — in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. It turns out that Merced omitted her Madame Web role during the casting process for Superman: Legacy.

Speaking to Comicbook.com, Superman: Legacy's Hawgirl, Merced, revealed that she decided not to reveal to DC that she had stunt experience from Madame Web...

James Gunn addressed Dcu rumors, hinting at the possibility of a Teen Titans movie and more. Gunn's response suggests that at least one of the rumors is not true, leaving room for some to be accurate. Gunn has teased various unannounced Dcu projects, including a new Justice League movie and potential solo projects for The Terrifics and other characters.

James Gunn has addressed new DC Universe rumors, teasing the possibility of a Teen Titans movie and more. Back in January 2023, Gunn announced the first few movies and TV series for the Dcu's Chapter One. Among the exciting upcoming Dcu movies and shows is Gunn's Superman: Legacy, which will feature multiple heroes. Now, Gunn has talked about the possibility of two rumored projects and a casting for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow happening.

On Threads, Gunn (via @DCU_Updates/Twitter) commented on three new Dcu rumors, saying, "At Least one of those things is not true.

The Superman: Legacy cast is imagined in retro comic book style in a stunning fan art series. Besides the Man of Steel, Superman: Legacy's cast also includes a slew of other DC heroes. The confirmed cast of Superman: Legacy, including David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, has generated excitement for the film and the future of the DC Universe.

The Superman: Legacy cast appears as their DC Universe characters in an exciting fan art series that imagines them in comic book style. Superman: Legacy's cast will be led by David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn had to refrain from revealing more cast members, though other DC heroes have already been announced for the film.

Bizarro uses baffling verb tense to wreck space-time in The Terrifics.

Gene Luen Yang made our Best Comics of 2019 list for Superman Smashes the Klan, and it is an incredible Superman comic. It's already one of my all-time favorites. I can't wait for it to wrap and come out in a digest I can pass on to newer readers in my life. But if you factor in degree of difficulty, I think his work on The Terrifics might actually be better.

First of all, the last several issues have been written with healthy doses of Bizarro-speak. Trying to reverse dialogue on its own is difficult enough, but when we talked to him about Superman Smashes the Klan earlier this year, Bizarro came up and Yang told us something terrifying: "...There's no established rules for Bizarro speak."

That's right. There's no established house rule for how to translate normal conversation into Bizarro.

When it comes to major costume alterations found in the Arrowverse, I think we as the viewers tend to focus more on the headliners than the supporting characters. Really, whenever Green Arrow or the Flash don a new suit, it’s the talk of the town. I’d like to say the same about Supergirl, but she’s been wearing the same threads since she’s arrived on the scene – barring doppelgangers like Overgirl and Red Daughter, of course.

Still, heads do turn whenever, say, Spartan or Mr. Terrific get an upgrade. But when you think about it, characters like Arsenal, Vibe and the Atom tend to stick to their tried and true. I think that’s one thing that allows Killer Frost to stand out: her look never goes stale.

When we first met the frosty fatale, it was actually in the form of her Earth-2 counterpart. But later...

From VancouverFilm.Net Sneak Peek new Season 7 images from "Arrow", revealing a distressed look for actress Emily Bett Rickards as 'Felicity Smoak', wife of 'Green Arrow', premiering October 15, 2018 on The CW:

"...'Oliver' is jailed at 'Slabside' prison, having to deal with all the creeps he helped put away as 'Green Arrow'.

"His wife 'Felicity Smoak', suffering from a recent head injury, reverts beck to her identity as a pink-haired goth' rocker...

"...complete with nose and eyebrow piercings in a look she had before she ever got involved with Oliver and 'Team Arrow'..."

Cast also includes David Ramsey as 'John Diggle', Rick Gonzalez as 'Wild Dog', Echo Kellum as 'Mr. Terrific', Juliana Harkavy as 'Black Canary' and Katie Cassidy as 'Black Siren'.

"...in the shocking season six finale of 'Arrow', 'Oliver Queen' (Stephen Amell) not only reveals himself to 'Star City' as 'The Green Arrow', but...

Though Arrow has played host to a wealth of characters taken from the comics such as Black Canary, Arsenal, Mr. Terrific, the Atom and the Emerald Archer himself, it’s also injected new personalities into the mythos throughout its run. In fact, this is a familiar practice for TV shows in the genre, lest we forget that Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor were unknown quantities before Smallville came around.

Before the series debuted in 2012, one could imagine Oliver Queen existing without the likes of John Diggle or Felicity Smoak orbiting him, but now it just seems downright impossible to do so. Given that, lead actor Stephen Amell hopes these additions to the enduring tale stick around long after he’s hung up his leather hood, saying the following in an interview with The Music Australia:

“One of the things that I’m most proud about is that, 25 years from now,...

In the past, I’ve likened the current season of Arrow to pro wrestling, due to its emphasis on factions and their splitting. Already, we’ve seen the team fracture down the center, with the newbies and old guard going about their separate ways. Of course, Diggle going off and doing his own thing doesn’t help matters, as Oliver Queen seems alone now more than ever.

Strengthening my allegory will be April 26th’s episode, which is titled “Shifting Allegiances.”Of course, there’s no way to pin down exactly how that portentous term will be applied, but the newly surfaced synopsis provides a few hints:

Oliver turns to an old friend to help battle Diaz; Rene is out of the hospital but has a hard time readjusting to life as Wild Dog; Lance discovers something shocking about Black Siren.

Having read that, “Shifting Allegiances” could be referring to...

In recent years, journalists and fans alike have kept their eyes affixed to DC’s YouTube channel, especially because their daily web series, DC All Access, often drops major news about the brand’s latest happenings across all forms of media. Unfortunately, it’s been largely absent for a couple months, but has thankfully made an unexpected return.

Admittedly, it’d have been preferable to see the show’s comeback three weeks ago when the wealth of midseason premieres were kicking off, but better late than never, right?

Getting back on track, the first “#Dctv ” video in some time features valuable information regarding this week’s episodes of Supergirl, Black Lightning and Arrow, including some educational comic book connections. And while we could probably discuss this all day, it’s the Arrow tease that was hardest to ignore.

Let it be known that while host Hector Navarro touched on this only briefly,...

Now that 2018 is officially underway and we have the holidays behind us, it’s about time that we get back to the TV shows that we love. To be more specific, folks like me can’t wait to resume the current season of what DC has to offer and, fortunately, that’ll arrive next week with a slew of midseason premieres, culminating with the returning episode of Arrow.

So, after spoiling us with a fresh batch of images culled from the appropriately titled “Divided,” the network is willing to let loose yet another goodie in the form of an extended trailer. Being considerably meatier than any other promo video we’ve seen since the winter hiatus began, we get more hints as to how fractured Team Arrow truly is, with the originals – Oliver Queen, John Diggle and Felicity Smoak – going about their own way, and the rest – Wild Dog, Black...

Michael Pataki was a leading character actor from the 1960s, who was best known for his roles in cult horror films. Pataki starred as Caleb Croft, a vicious vampire rapist whose offspring (William Smith) seeks his destruction in 1974’s Grave of the Vampire, and was Count Dracula and his modern-day descendant Michael Drake in Albert Band’s cult classic Dracula’s Dog (aka Zoltan, Hound of Dracula).

Pataki was born in Youngstown, Ohio, on January 16, 1938. He studied drama and political science at the University of Southern California. He made his film debut in the late 1950s, and appeared frequently on television, often in villainous roles. He was featured in episodes of The Twilight Zone, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, My Favorite Martian, Batman as bat-villain King Tut’s henchman Amenophis Tewfik, Mission: Impossible, and Mr. Terrific. He starred as Korax, the Klingon, in the classic Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles,...

Myles Wilder was the son of B-movie director W. Lee Wilder, and scripted many of his father’s more memorable science fiction and horror films in the 1950s.
