In the last issue of Superman, Lois Lane had her leg dismembered in battle, above the knee. Superman cauterised the wound with his heat vision, then flew her to the nearest hospital. Seemingly not bringing her amputated leg with her. Meanwhile in Action Comics, seemingly set after the current Hamilton events in Superman, she seems to be walking around[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Coinciding with the release of the new movie, DC has very smartly released Wonder Woman Annual #1 this week to capitalize on all the buzz surrounding their premiere super heroine. This book contains four stories cataloging the adventures of Wonder Woman. The first, by Greg Rucka, Nicola Scott, and Romulo Fajardo Jr., shows the first time Wonder[...]

From the DC Rebirth onwards, culminating in November's Doomsday Clock, Superman will meet Dr Manhattan. Dr Manhattan, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons for the creator-owned comic Watchmen, that all of a sudden wasn't creator-owned when it started making serious money for DC Comics, spent much of his time naked, blue penis swinging in the breeze. Sorry, I[...]

The last episode ended with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) attacking Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) at what seemed to be the behest of Rhea (Teri Hatcher) But it turned out that he was under the influence of Silver Kryptonite She had this because when Krypton exploded, it rained Kryptonite all over Daxam They were also able to introduce General[...]

We've hit season finale week, and I'll be live-blogging all three of the Arrowverse series as they air on the West Coast. It kicks off tonight with

But that's something you're going to have to wait and see to find out; it's a little more complicated than it appears." More complicated, eh? Well, we know that Supergirl has to either win or someone break Superman from Rhea's control as Supergirl is around to fight Rhea in the end. The Supergirl season finale is Monday[...]

All six members are represented here: Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg, The Flash, Superman, and Wonder Woman the standout for me here is the Superman Pop, I love the pose they have him in, that just-about-to-take-off pose is so iconic, and he is looking pretty alive there isn't he? Aquaman is also a standout, although I wish[...]

DC Collectibles has released a new series of images for the Justice League statues based on the upcoming movie. Seems like they're not hiding the fact that Superman is alive in the film anymore. Jim Fletcher, executive creative director, says that each actor got a head and full body scan to make the digital sculptures[...]

(Or at least we're calling it that since there's very little talk about multiple universes in the game.) Superman's Regime has fallen, some are imprisoned like Robin and Cyborg, others have escaped like Wonder Woman and Black Adam The rest are trying to fix the world and repair the damage done, lead by Batman, some[...]

Writer Tom Taylor talks about what's going on in the sixth issue as Batman, Black Canary and crew scramble to prevent Superman from being broken out of his Red Sun prison But Superman was just the distraction, the true target of the jail break is Damian Wayne Damian is freed by his mother, Talia al[...]

While Johns discusses a fair bit about Doomsday Clock being the battle between Superman and Dr Manhattan, this could be a case of not giving the whole truth And there was also something Johns said that really stuck with me, especially as he chose the line in his own tweet of the announcement: Everything I have[...]

The Fandango interviewer asks Johnson, "Is he gonna put the smackdown on Superman?" To which he smiles and replies: One fine day That's coming That's in the cards. Finally, a DC villain that will be fun to watch put the smackdown on Superman Though that would imply that he has to be… you know, not dead? Sorry,[...]

"As for my artistic approach to the series, each panel is extremely detailed and I am constantly thinking through the position of every single element." Well, how is that for an announcement to break late on a Sunday night? Doomsday Clock is coming, and according to Geoff Johns, it will mainly focus on two people: Superman[...]

Details are coming out about the new Doomsday Clock mini-series project from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank. This is going to bring the Rebirth Special #1 and the Button story from Batman #21-22 / Flash #21-22 full circle. This is the entrance of the Watchman into the DC Universe or rather the Watchmen colliding with the DC[...]

Diztracto Spinners featuring logos from Batman, Superman, Tweety Bird, Bugs Bunny — all of people's favorites Rich Johnston has already written about their line of MLB fidget spinners, so this feels like a natural next step, especially into the comic book shop market I gotta believe that these things are not hard to manufacture, as[...]

This amiable photo was sent to the Bleeding Cool dungeons, taken in the DC Comics Superman offices, hosting a visit from Sharon Taylor (middle) who played Faora in the TV show Smallville, and Simone Bailly who played Star. That's DC editor Mike Cotton on the far right, ex-Wizard Magazine writer/editor who joined DC in 2013, and who I don't think I've[...]

v Bruns Publications Inc, the Superman vs Wonderman lawsuit. The contents of the transcript were considered controversial due to the fact that the record of Will Eisner's testimony contradicts his later accounts of that moment This has been widely discussed over the years, but for me, DC v Bruns is so much more than that[...]

It's epic and hilarious, in the vein of Monty Python's Life of Brian. Superman by Peter J Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, Doug Mahnke et al. DC is presenting a rejuvenated take on the Man of Steel that returns the heart of the character that had been missing for a while, but also telling it with the added level[...]

March 1947 Radio Mirror When it comes to comics history books, it takes a lot to impress me, but Rick Bowers' 2012 release Superman versus the Ku Klux Klan is on my short list of the most interesting comic-history-related titles to appear over the past decade A few years ago, I had a brief email exchange about[...]

Both Gotham City and Metropolis will be subdivisions of Warner Bros World, with Metropolis a modern city that Superman can destroy in an epic battle with Zod before breaking the villain's neck and making out with Lois Lane in the rubble, while Gotham City will feature dark alleys packed with murderous psychopaths with a fondness for[...]

Took a glance at #jointheleague on twitter too, and noticed with interest that there was an image of Superman out there with the hashtag on it… apparently a promotion coming from @RubiesCostumeCo, and as such — while certainly an eyebrow-raiser given the givens about Supe's status — it's been largely waved off on twitter as[...]

Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello participated in an extremely engaging and unmoderated C2E2 panel earlier today, and amidst the humorous barbs flying back and forth between the pair, Miller dropped the following tidbit about the Superman project he hopes to be able to announce with DC, and more: Audience Question: There are a couple pivotal scenes in Dark Knight[...]

This year on the panel were Julie Benson, Shawna Benson, Franco, Dan Jurgens, Steve Orlando, Joe Prado, and James Tynion IV. The moderator started things off by asking who or what the panels' favorite Superman books were. Dan Jurgens piped up, saying that his favorite super man (and best suggestion) is Alan Moore's Superman (Eliot – 3 stories as[...]

 DC has always done a good job with these anniversaries — Superman and Batman's in particular — which is why I tend to think that there's at least a little something to those 2019 Batman 'family' film rumors, despite those non-denials. Which of course brings us to next year this time when Superman will hit the[...]

With the new Action Comics #977, we get to see the results of the pre-Flashpoing Superman merging with the New 52 Superman With the singular Man of Steel, we get a Clark Kent who has some foggy patches in his memory and some serious doubts Writer Dan Jurgens talks about how Clark will begin to[...]

Hoechlin's version of Superman was well received by fans who have been clamoring for his return since the second episode Good news coming from E! Online that Hoechlin is coming back for the Supergirl season finale No specific details have been given, but the producers of the Arrowverse shows seem to be pulling out all the stops[...]

Anyone who has seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the incredibly long, clunky titled last major instalment in the DC connected film universe (Suicide Squad didn't really further the connected universe much, let's be honest), featured what was essentially Doomsday in the film…though drastically different from the comics. Because after all, this Doomsday was made[...]

Standing at about 11.5 inches tall, she will come with the Sword of Athena and her shield, and swappable sword and shield to also recreate her look from Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice as well I love her look in the DCU, especially the colors of her suit, and they really pop on this[...]

Superman vs Doctor Fate Being a Kryptonian under a yellow sun gives Kal-El an enormous amount of power including super-strength, speed, flight, x-ray vision, heat ray eyes, cold breath, invulnerable skin and the list goes on He's only known weakness is Kryptonite… except that isn't his only known weakness, it's just the most well known[...]

In Waid's eyes, Wally West is a bit more flamboyant than Barry Allen, so you just have to find ways to characterize their physical appearance when they appear together. Anyone who follows Waid on twitter shouldn't be too surprised about this, but he confirmed that Superman is indeed his favorite character Not only that, but he[...]
