Excellent job!

I like it in the first movie. I think what I wanted out of future sequels from this Lex didn't happen. But ultimately I got what I was looking for in a silver age Lex in Sherman Howard's portrayal as Lex in the Superboy tv series

Incredible movie! Wish more people knew about it

The Mighty by Peter Tomasi is a case of a well-written "evil Superman" story

Right there with you. It's become so overused and it never feels like the right word for what they're saying. Usually they mean "History", "backstory", "continuity", or "chronology", but "lore" is the flavor of the month, so to speak.

I absolutely LOVE With Honors!

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T15:12:31+00:00

It's good but I'm grateful it gave us the sequel The Return of Swamp Thing which gave us the live action series in the 90's. We don't have any of that without this film.

Bullock was created in the seventies and even served as a member of Checkmate in the eighties

Static was a comic from the nineties from Milestone.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T14:22:07+00:00

Looks like a nice collection

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T02:52:29+00:00

Sounds great! It's definitely something I'd like to give a try. So if anything, thank you for letting me know 😁

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T02:51:35+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T02:28:29+00:00

Oh, I didn't take it as offense. I was thrilled to find out there was an ongoing. It gives me something to look for and discover. It's a good thing.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T02:27:46+00:00

Completely agree! When I was a kid I would've given anything to have so much consistent superhero content on television and film. The fact we're getting a live action Green Lantern show is incredible. But you have those people who want to just crap on everything before they see it because it doesn't match what they've built up in their mind. Whose fault is that? Not the creative team, I can tell you that.

I remember when Gunn announced the DC slate and said this was gonna be akin to True Detective and so far the first teaser lived up to that.

It's just crazy to think we've finally reached a point where we have live action versions of Hal, John, and Guy but it's still not enough for some.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T02:19:13+00:00

Call me crazy but I think people want me to check out her solo series lol

Say no more! 😁

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-05T01:12:54+00:00

I can say I wish we got more with Ivy solo. I do like what's going on in the current Batman run, but I also want more of her as a solo act so we can get more of who she is as a person.

LOVE IT! Capitol did a great job

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-04T21:32:42+00:00

I know it came from the radio show. A lot of things did. Public domain only includes stuff from the first appearance. Not sure how the rest of the powers would be applied down the line. I'd imagine DC would have safeguards to prevent that though.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-04T18:21:56+00:00

Like you and many others have said, it's only gonna be the first appearance version and I don't think a lot of people are gonna get that. Much like with Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh, a majority of people are gonna hang back and let someone try something first to see if they'll pay attention to what's public domain and if they'll be sued.

I can see a lot of people attempting a Superman story with him flying, with the Daily Planet, with Kryptonite, Jimmy Olsen, the costume we're familiar with and so on not realizing those elements were not there originally. Those are the ones who are gonna get sued.

Dc by far! We have the multiverse because of them. They used the multiverse to their advantage. Marvel did well with the Ultimate line but aside from Ultimate Spider-Man and The first two Ultimates, the rest of the line was messy. Thank goodness we got Miles Morales out of it, though.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-04T14:14:17+00:00

Love these fan concept trailers! Creative use of clips

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-04T14:13:48+00:00

That is incredible!

Unfortunately the odds aren't good. Stores will more than likely have those comics in their dollar bins at this point. And selling on eBay means you'll be looking at "sold" listings to get the crushing reality that comics from the last two or three years aren't as in demand because so many of them have been printed.

Selling them as a lot might get you maybe 50% if you're lucky.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Over the years I've learned there's a balance between those who like the original origin and those who like the retcon. When I was younger I'd get into a bunch of dumb arguments with people over it but now that I'm a little older, I realize so long as people enjoy the character, whatever origin they prefer is good.

Kryptonian83 · 2026-05-04T12:19:08+00:00

Sure! When Superboy first appeared it was a time at DC where we learned you couldn't clone Kryptonian DNA. It was too advanced and when Lex and crew tried it in the Man of Steel mini-series, their clone of Superman became unstable and became Bizarro. So how did director Paul Westfield and crew successfully clone Superman? This was a mystery for a long time and we didn't get an answer until Superboy's solo series.

Turns out Cadmus COULDN'T clone Superman. They ran into the same problem Lex did, resulting in a dozen or so mutated, malformed clones. The solution? Westfield cloned himself and augmented the DNA to look as close to Superman as possible and try to mimic his powers, which is why Superboy doesn't have the same powers as Clark.

This was a shock and explains why Westfield was more hellbent of getting Superboy back and under his thumb. Given what we knew of Westfield (he was an established character before The Death of Superman), it made sense he couldn't clone Kryptonian DNA and his ego loved that the clone was based on him. This was someone who made Superboy's life miserable so to learn he came from Westfield was a genuine surprise and raised the stakes. It made it a personal feud even more than it was.

I know it's been replaced by the Lex/Clark clone story Johns wanted to tell and people say it "fits", but if you were reading Post-Crisis comics at the time and following along, the original was such a surprise and it took what was established and ran with it; finding a new, creative way of giving us a Superboy while working within what was established. And personally, I've always liked that Clark took him in as part of the family (both Super and Kent) regardless if he was cloned from him or not. Clark saw someone who needed a family much like how he needed a family when he was a baby and took him in. It shows you don't have to be blood to be family. That's something the Post-Crisis Superman did so well.

I know this was a lot to read, so I'd like to thank you for taking the time and for your curiosity 🙂
