September 25, 2023 by EJ Moreno

We know Man of Steel would later become the building blocks for the DC Extended Universe, but fans don’t know the pressure there was to make something as close to the MCU as quickly as possible.

Re-evaluating Zack Snyder’s DCEU Trilogy: The Misunderstood Superman Saga

June 29, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno looks back at Zack Snyder’s time in the DC Universe… Andy Muschietti’s The Flash attempts to shut the door on the SnyderVerse in many ways.

June 11, 2023 by EJ Moreno

Regarding General Zod, it seems like Michael Shannon prefers the original version we saw in Man Of Steel over his upcoming turn in The Flash.

Celebrating Man of Steel: A Great Modern Day Superman Origin

June 14, 2022 by Ricky Church

Ricky Church praises Man of Steel… Nine years ago today, the Superman film franchise was revitalized with a reboot from director Zack Snyder and writer/producer David S.
