25 Things About Superman You Didn't Know

Virgin Movies put this infographic together prior to the release of Man of Steel, and I thought I would share it.  And there are several things I didn't know.  Like Gene Hackman refusing to cut his hair and Marlon Brando refusing to learn his lines.  Pretty cool stuff.  Check it out.

Man of Steel: Create Your Own Kryptonian Name and Glyph

This is pretty cool - I'm a member of the House of Van.

While all of us are anxiously waiting for the return of Superman in a couple weeks, Warner Brothers has given us the ability to create a Superman-style glyph along with our Kryptonian name.

Once you've created your glyph, you can download it, share it or upload one of your photos to the site and have the glyph superimposed on your chest.

Movies To Watch: Man of Steel (Trailer #3)

75 years ago today, Superman was introduced to America and the world.  And in less than two months his journey continues with the upcoming movie, Man of Steel.  The new trailer was released two days ago, and people are raving about it.  So I thought it was only fitting to post it on the anniversary of the first issue from DC Comics.  Enjoy - it's a definite "must watch!"

Movies to Watch - The Amazing Spider-Man

It was released last week, but in the event you haven't seen it, you can see it here.  The official trailer to The Amazing Spider-man which hits theaters on July 3, 2012.

It's a re-boot, yes, but it also takes us on a different path...  Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors, his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Will we be watching?  Ryan and I say, yes.  Even though I'm not a fan of all these superhero re-boots, I am looking forward to seeing this and The Man of Steel.  I'm sure Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill has something to do with it. :-)

DC Showcases New Superman...

...and boy is he Super! I'm totally digging his new costume; I think Zack Snyder should re-think his costume idea, and add a red belt like in this comic. 

I know I questioned the red underpants being gone in the new movie, Man of Steel, but if they added a red belt it would be perfect!

No One Believed Me, But It's True! Superman No Longer Is...

...wearing red underpants!  

I mentioned it several weeks ago, and I still feel the same way!  This is a blasphemy!  There is no need to change our superheros' outfits!  

Okay, so they did it with Batman, but that's Batman, and frankly I could care less with what happens with Batman - this is SUPERMAN for god's sake! SUPERMAN!

As you can see in the leaked photos of the new movie, Man of Steel, the Krypton God is not wearing his red underwear, which confirms my terrifying rumor was true.  It truly is a sad day for the country and the world.  Putting that aside, the villainess in the photo looks pretty darn cool, she is the one donning the black cape.
