With a story by Mario Puzo, writer of both the book and the film The Godfather, music by John Williams (Star Wars), and breathtaking special effects,Superman set the standard for superhero cinema for decades to come. Director Richard Donner partnered with the animation team and the cinematographer, Geoffrey Unsworth, behind 2001: A Space Odyssey, t...
Production for Superman II was well underway before Superman (1978) was released. Due to his dedication to the soon-to-be-released Superman movie, Richard Donner was removed as director during the final leg of filming and replaced by Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers). Production was further complicated by the passing of legendary cinematographe...
The first entry in the series untouched by Donner, Puzo, or Unsworth, Superman III tries to split screen time between Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, and an evil Christopher Reeve. It’s a wackier iteration that attempts to incorporate more humor into the already rather light-hearted series. It does away with the surreal, dream-like presentation o...
The final and shortest entry in Christopher Reeve’s tenure as Superman, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace follows the Man of Steel on his path to ridding the globe of nuclear weapons. Framed during the Cold War, Superman sets out to denuclearize humanity while his archnemesis Lex Luthor, still played by Gene Hackman, once again escapes from prison. ...
Superman Returns ignores the continuity of the past two films and is intended as a spiritual follow-up to Superman and Superman II, so chronologically it could fit right after Superman II, but you'd then have to not count the following Reeve films. In Superman Returns, Superman returns to Earth following a five-year trip to see what remains of Kryp...
The first Superman film of the post-Dark Knight era of superhero films is the blockbuster sci-fi spectacle, Man of Steel. Directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), Man of Steel features all of his trademark stylings and introduces Henry Cavill to the world as Superman. The first film origin story since Superman (1978) embraces the science fiction si...
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is the ambitious follow-up to Man of Steel, and it introduces Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Batman (Ben Affleck), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to the Snyder-verse. Set shortly after the devastating Kryptonian assault on Metropolis in Man of Stee...
Another, possibly, unceremonious ending for Superman comes by way of 2017’s Justice League. In the weeks following Superman’s death, Bruce Wayne sets out to assemble a group of heroes to combat an incoming alien invasion. A director swap near the end of filming, due to tragedy, saw Zack Snyder exit the project and Joss Whedon (Avengers, Avengers: A...
Justice League was so different from previous footage used for marketing material that some fans began begging to see Snyder's original vision for the film, before he left at the beginning of post-production. And after a few years of refusal by Warner Bros., HBO Max announced in 2020 that they would allow Snyder to finish and release Zack Snyder’s ...
The Science of Superman. DOCUMENTARY. He's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound - but do Superman's superpowers make sense outside of his fictional world when studied in a real-life lab?
How many heroic tasks could Superman perform before he got tired? Does Superman require more oxygen than mere mortals? He's faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and...
