Superman: Building The Justice Gang Behind-The-Scenes Featurette

Warner Bros. released a new extended behind-the-scenes featurette for Superman, which digs into everything needed to bring The Justice Gang to the big screen.

Superman is out on digital, but Warner Bros. is still throwing us new content online if we want it. For a very long time, the idea of anything that examined the behind-the-scenes aspect of films wasn't easy to find. It was buried in the special features of home releases or only shown via special screenings in film schools. However, the internet has opened the door for people to really start to learn what goes into each frame of their favorite movie. While most of it is good, like people giving lots of love to jobs that don't always get the spotlight aside from technical categories during the Oscars, but it's not all good, like a bunch of people apparently not knowing what a director does if social media the other week was anything to go by.  We take the good and bad.

In this case, the good is another extended featurette for Superman, which digs into all of the pieces that had to come together to bring the various members of The Justice Gang to the big screen. We see everything from everyone deciding just how much of a bowl cut Guy Garner will have to the complex blend of special effects makeup and costuming that went into bringing Metamorpho to life. People today don't realize how blessed we are to have such ready access to what goes on behind the camera at sets, even if the footage we are getting is just as edited and curated as the movie itself.
