SF Signal: Superman Tidbits

Superman Tidbits

As is the way, stories are surfacing related to an upcoming summer blockbuster. Here are a few items that have cropped up thanks to next week's release of Superman Returns.

Screen Rant points to a two-and-a-half minute clip from Superman Returns. It looks cool for all the reasons Vic @ Screen Rant mentions. I got the same cool vibe I got when I saw Superman: The Movie and Superman II in my youth. Funny thing with those movies was they didn't quite hold up on recent re-viewings with my daughter. There were some dialogue and suspension of disbelief issues that I just didn't catch when I was eleven. Yet now my older (and more critical) eyes are looking forward to Superman Returns.

Superman expert Tom DeHaven is looking forward to Superman Returns as he completes his Superman-related book for Yale Univerty Press' American Icon series.

The National Geographic Channel will be airing The Science of Superman.

Flixens offers The Real Heroes of Superman, an 8-part series, So far: Parts one, two, three, four and five. (Okay, this one's a semi-repeat, but part 5 is new. So there.)
