Former #TheBoldAndTheBeautiful star #PiersonFodé may be in the running to be #JamesGunn's next #Superman. Fodé sent in a self-tape audition which included a montage of his childhood growing up on a farm, and Gunn liked what he saw. For his part, Gunn says there are some great choices to cast from. Fodé appeared in a 2020 episode of #Supergirl, and will be seen in #Peacock's #BasedOnATrueStory.

Mocno irytują mnie te kiedyśtobyłowe narracje, w myśl których dawniej to w komiksach nie było polityki i tego całego "woke".

Jakiś czas temu pomyślałem więc, że przydałaby mi się lista komiksów, którą mógłbym w takich okolicznościach wyciągać, pytać: "Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki? A pamiętasz jak w....?", przywoływać losowy rok i wskazywać na odpowiadającą mu historię z elementami (w szerokim rozumieniu) politycznymi.

A że nikt takiej listy za mnie nie zrobi, zacząłem robić ją sam.

Tak więc, nie przedłużając, otwieram cykl wpisów "Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki?".

Formuła jest prosta – jeden rok, jedna historia, zwięzły opis. Startujemy w 1938 roku, w chwili narodzin komiksu superbohaterskiego, a zakończymy na 2001 roku.

Planuję publikować jeden taki wpis dziennie, tak więc jeśli nie będę miał obsuw, skończę na początku sierpnia (później przerobię serię na jeden zbiorczy wpis blogowy, a może i na nagranie wideo).

Lećmy więc!

Więc mówisz, że kiedyś w komiksach nie było polityki?

A pamiętasz, jak w 1938 roku Superman postanowił dać nauczkę właścicielowi kopalni, który nie zapewniał górnikom bezpiecznych warunków pracy, słabo im płacił i mówił, że jeśli im się nie podoba, mogą odejść?

"Action Comics", vol. 1, nr, 3, 1938, DC Domics.

Superman Sketch

#superman #mas

A simple bust sketch of Superman. He's smiling, what a nice dude

I'm spinning up a #hobby #LiveStream using an old Facebook Page I created for #ComicBook VS Debates. By combining original storylines like something out of #ProWrestling with an impartial booker in the form of #mugen, I have created the formula for an entertaining spectacle.

Last night, I ran the premier on the page called Visions of Battleworld. I had an absolute blast hosting, and I reached out to some old friends for support and they all showed up. The show of solidarity was heartening, especially as someone who suffers from #rsd.

For the Event Card, I decided to begin with a tournament to crown an inaugural champion - the Battleworld Universal Heavyweight Champion. I designed a belt in #StableDiffusion, which the winner will be awarded. The program I'm using to simulate the fights contains 416 #Marvel and #DC #comics characters contains a diverse mix of #SuperHeroes and #Villains with an even brand divide. We ran through the Quarter Finals, and funny enough (no, seriously you wouldn't have known watching each match individually all night) the Final Four are #Superman, #Doomsday, #Hulk, and #Thor. MUGEN runs the fights, best 2 out of 3. I've got no control over them.

Everything looked great, but there were significant issues with the #audio. As it turns out, in the 9 months since I'd used #OBS the StreamFX Plug-in went behind a paywall. My old scenes broke after I uninstalled the plug-in, so I had to start over and do my own Audio Filters. Now, I had relied on an old Stream Team leader to set my filters before, and I didn't take the time to learn how it works. Rushing the filters with only one YouTube tutorial, I forgot the most important piece of advice: Test thoroughly.

In my defense, I didn't know where exactly my energy levels would wind up. That's not an excuse for failing to do several test takes to adjust my settings. Full disclosure, I was in a weird head place about how I would do back on stream for the first time in 9 months. So, I fell victim to a bit of anxiety.

Ultimately, I watched back the VOD (something I never did in my #Twitch days), and have made thorough and tested adjustments for the next episode.

A pro wrestling championship belt made of black leather with several gold plates featuring intricate designs. The large abdominal plate has silver lettering that alludes to it being a World Championship.

There is a figure between two large diamond studs that looks like a flexing masculine figure, and the design takes the shape of a Superman Shield on the chest.

As for his top speed, the unofficial answer seems to be Superman outstrips every hero that isn't the Flash/tied to the Flash... basically "ludicrous speed minus <varying number>." Superman's no slowpoke, despite what some fans insist ("Flash would blow him away!").

Besides, IMO it's Flash's vibratory powers (which Supes lacks) that sets his speed apart, and makes Flash stories what they are: "vibrate through walls/turn invisible/a long list of ludicrous stuff I've seen." 🙂

Still amusing that leaping over a tall building is still listed as a main ability in his introductory spiel, despite being able to fly. "Keep pace with, or somewhat slower than, the Flash! Bench press the Sears Tower! Um... jump over that building!"

Recall the Bugs Bunny cartoon parodying Superman made fun of building leaping, among everything else. Bugs' line after learning he has powers: "You mean able to leap the highest buildings, etc. etc.?" 🙂

There has long been an reluctance in #ComicBooks and #superhero media to mention political topics. Other than #FrankMiller's original #DarkKnight stories, political stances were verboten, back to a #JFK cameo in 1963.

But instead of being viewed as an endorsement of liberal democrat policies by Big Blue, it incorrectly established #Superman as a conformist & establishmentarian.

And as #fascism has taken over establishment #GOP politics, he is now silenced by "bipartisanship."

Panel from a 1963 Superman comic book (Action Comics #309), showing former Pres. John F Kennedy speaking with Superman. Superman says to the President, 

"I REALIZE THAT, SIR! I KNEW I WASN'T RISKING MY SECRET IDENTITY WITH YOU! AFTER ALL, IF I CAN'T TRUST THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHO CAN I TRUST?"

Three panel sequence with Clark Kent and Lois Lane at the Daily Planet.

Panel 1: Clark is seated and catches a view of Lois stumbling by a window and crying, "EEEK!"

Panel 2: Lois now falling out of the window as Clark is turning and thinking, "Great Scott! Lois tripped and fell out the window!"

Panel 3:
Clark is now himself leaping out of the window and thinking, "No time to change into my Superman costume..."
Panel 4:
Clark is now outside the building and flying after her as she continues to scream, "EEEEEK!"

Panel 5:
Clark has successfully caught her and is hovering above the city with Lois in his arms, but is shocked when Lois points at him with a huge smile and says, "AHA! I always thought you were Superman, Clark...That's why I only pretended to fall out the window!"

Panel 6:
Clark is back at his desk as Morgan Edge comes through the door and says, "Say, Clark...Where is Lois?" Clark replies, "Lois? She fell out the window..."

Older #Superman #comics are chalked-full with bizarre moments that when examined under modern context, are extremely weird in retrospect. One moment, however, tops them all as Superman once told a giant version of his dad to "punish me daddy! I deserve it!". The panel comes from World's Finest #201 (March'71) by Denny O'Neil, Dick Dillin, and Joe Giella.

"Clark, stop it, everyone knows."
"Everyone?"
"Yes, those glasses were a pretty flimsy disguise. Not many 6'3", 230 pounds brick houses with black hair and gorgeous blue eyes around here."
"But ..."
"We figured you were insecure or something, so we just played along."

#GeorgeReeves (1914–1959) was #BornOnThisDay.

His #Superman was the definitive portrayal of the character for a generation — and remains beloved today.

#008 Superman: For All Seasons Book One
Taking a brief break from X-men to read one of my favorite Superman stories. Tim Sale And Bjarne Hansen deliver a beautiful story. The Pa Kent narration is just masterful. Jeph Loeb does well here in capturing the voice #uncannycomics2023 #Superman

Conceptually, I'd say it is sound. Possibly a little too much zero-G cape flappery, but I'm inclined to allow it for dramatic effect. #ShipIt

It's #FreakyFriday! Which ridiculous #comicbook character do you have a soft spot in your heart for?

Mine is #dc legend Composite #Superman. I remember seeing him for the first time on the spinner rack as child and losing my stuff (World's Finest Comics 283) then when I saw #284? Oh my!

Also - anytime you wanna get a response from me on a #comic thread just @ me - I love talking this stuff!

Right @MaxRPower , @deadlykungfupod , @tencenttakes ? 😁

One shot. Inside it, one actor playing two physically distinct roles without the advantage of a cut to help him transform between them. Christopher Reeve even reverses his transformation to complete the feat. Jesus.

You're given complete control over the DCEU. What DON'T you do?

In the defense of what #DCstudios is doing so far, ya have to buckle up buddy, change ain’t easy. Sure the Cavill news for some might be a shock, but appeasing all the fans was always going to be an unattainable task. In the end, the Safran/@jamesgunn relationship will inspire some new creative moves we haven’t seen before. I for one am proud to be a fan and can’t wait to see what’s next, I’ll buy a ticket for this ride! #Batman #Superman #DCComics #changeyourfocus

Watched Superman Returns. With the exception of a couple scenes (bullet-eye, airplane), this movie was... kinda boring? It had some fun camp to it, particularly with Luther, but then had some BRUTAL scenes that felt gratuitous. It was a fine tribute to a bygone era I guess, but didn't bring the gas in the places it needed it. The Lois stuff was just so weird in so many ways.
Hard to watch this knowing what we do about Spacey and Singer as well.
