Welcome to another exciting and can't miss installment of a podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

This time out I am joined by Luke Bugg, the Geek of Steel, host of The Podcast of Steel and co-host of The Siegel and Shuster Society Podcast, to talk about the 2006 direct-to-home media movie Superman: Brainiac Attacks. This is the one movie I thought I would have the hardest time finding a co-host for because it is not well regarded by...just about everyone. But Luke actually requested this one and we had a good time talking about it and his Superman fandom and our excitement for the upcoming movie.

Seriously. It was such a good time.

Again, be sure to check out Luke on The Podcast of Steel and The Siegel and Shuster Society Podcast. He is one of the most genuinely positive voices in Superman fandom.

Next Time: Moving Kryptonian Images continues with Andrew Leyland joining me to talk about Superman Returns!

Welcome to an installment of the podcasting maxi-series Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman that was not planned at all and came together quickly! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

In the previous episode Adam Mallinger and I talked about three scripts that were ultimately unproduced on the long, nineteen year road to what would become Superman Returns. One of those scripts was Superman Reborn, which Adam and I assumed was an earlier draft. What we didn't know at the time is that the first draft of what was originally called Superman: The New Movie had gotten a full blown reading at the Broadway Theater in Hollywood thanks to funding from the Kaplan-Loring Foundation. I mentioned this in post on the last episode and even included a link to the YouTube video in the show notes at the website.

The man who spearheaded this whole thing is named David Kocher and he was nice enough to sit down with me and talk about how this reading came about. We touch on David's origins as a fan of Superman, how he met Mark Jones (who had the first draft) finding a director, the casting, and everything that went into the reading. We also have a spirited discussion about Superman movies in general and David shares his thoughts on the film that is hitting theaters in July.

I can't thank David enough for agreeing to be part of this series. As I indicated earlier this reading came seemingly out of nowhere and talking to David and watching the reading fit right in to what I've been doing for the past few months. Be sure to check out David's YouTube channel, which can be found by clicking this link.

During the end tag I mentioned the JSApril event that I'll be a part of towards the end of the month. My good friend Shag of the Fire and Water Podcasting Network organized this and I'll be joining a bunch of other shows that are celebrating the 85th anniversary of the Justice Society of America. Until my shows come out check out the other great podcasts that are a part of this event by clicking on this link!

Next Time: Moving Kryptonian Images continues with Luke Bugg, the Geek of Steel joining me to talk about Superman: Brainiac Attacks! No fooling this time.

Welcome to an off-beat installment of the podcasting maxi-series Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

This time out I am not covering a movie, either live action or animated. I am covering three scripts to Superman films that were never made. Joining me is Adam Mallinger, who not only worked as a script reader early in his career but was a staff writer on the CW series Superman and Lois. Adam and I go through drafts of Superman Reborn (which, if made, would have brought back Christopher Reeve as Superman, Superman Lives (written by Kevin Smith), and Superman: Flyby (written by J.J. Abrams). We discuss our overall feelings on these scripts, Kevin Smith, the role the internet plays in how movies get made, Ain't It Cool News, and more. We also dig into the differences between a script and the movie that is eventually made of that script.

Adam and I recorded this episode last year and in the time since our recording and this episode getting released there was a full cast reading of the first draft of Superman Reborn (which was originally called Superman: The New Movie) organized by David Kocher. Adam and I don't talk about it because it had not happened yet much less posted to YouTube. If you want to see that reading, the video is embedded below.
