This one is still a huge mystery, as the film has no script, no director, and no release date. But that rumor mill keeps on a spinnin’! The speculation regarding this project is all about who’s going to show up with Superman as friend or foe. Possible candidates have included Brainiac, Bizarro, and Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. As this film sits in limbo, all we can do is guess.

This is another franchise that has lost me. I never saw Man of Steel because, well, everyone I talked to told me it wasn’t very good. Which I was disappointed about, because I always enjoyed Superman’s origin story (at least the one where he grows up in Kansas). And while we’re on the subject, all the superhero movies of the past several years that have about 30 superheroes in them just seem so odd to me. But maybe they’re great films…it just seems hard to keep track of all the different men and women (and creatures) appearing in so many films all the time. Call me old fashioned, but I like the very typical, one hero kind of movie, the basic stuff. Are you with me or against me?
