shadows have a sinister reputation . they are where dangers lurk – their disquieting darkness shrouding unknown evils and potential predators . they are illusive , ungraspable and always changing position . like the uninvited glance of a stranger , what lies behind a shadow is often unknown , and its interpretation requires some level of imagination . shadows don’t represent a definitive threat , but only the possibility of peril . evidenced by their use in conjurers’ magic shows and that most ancient form of puppet theatre , they are tricksters of a sort – evasive , yet suggestive – and as easily associated with play as they are with pitfall .

like laurent grasso’s uraniborg , which we wrote about in a previous post , there is , in time machine , a strong link between the manipulation of time and the way the exhibition is presented : a darkened space wherein objects—difficult to place in time and provenance—are illumined so as to compel us to move closer and really look . it’s as though each stop made is a separate event , unanchored to any rubric of linear time . the time - twisting in uraniborg is heavier , however , owing in part to its ( post ) apocalyptic undercurrent , its disorienting darkness , and the illicit intersections of its maze - like architecture . wickramasinghe’s thoughtful exhibition , on the other hand , reminds us that there is a lighter side to time travel and shadow play : it is the power of imagination and the ecstatic state of wonder that is so natural for children and so easily abandoned with the ascent into adulthood .

spring 2013 brought a u . k . arena tour — which had sold out in a week the previous september — before the band returned to the studio to demo new material . inventively , the script also brought jamie scallion ' s fictional band , the rockateers , to life that year . they recorded and streamed online their interpretations of the songs mentioned in the officer kicks frontman ' s series of novels for young adults , the rock ' n ' roll diaries . when 2014 came around , sheehan , o ' donoghue , and power began to prepare for a number of large u . s . summer shows alongside colorado ' s onerepublic . the script also released their fourth studio album , no sound without silence , featuring the single
superheroes .
james bay is a 23 year - old artist who possesses that untarnished strain of talent . his raw expressions and graveled voice work in a magical unison that captivates audiences and strips pop melodies back to a skeletal efficiency . hailing from hitchin , hertfordshire , james is a young singer - songwriter who has already gained a great reputation thanks to stints at communion ' s monthly night at notting hill arts club in london and a hugely successful run of support slots with tom odell , john newman and kodaline . even though to date james has only released one acoustic ep , his debut , ' the dark of the morning ' in july last year , he is fast building a loyal fan base both in the uk and the us .
forging a unique sound based on a diverse list of influences ( including u2 , the neptunes , timbaland , and van morrison ) , the script saw their debut single ,
we cry ,
receive heavy airplay in both ireland and britain , as well as a nod from the influential bbc radio dj jo whiley . after signing with phonogenic records , the group relocated to london and scheduled both a debut album and an appearance at the glastonbury festival for summer 2008 . their eponymous debut album proved to be a meteoric success , topping the charts in multiple countries and establishing the script as 2008 ' s most popular newcomers . the buzz carried through to 2009 , when paul mccartney and u2 both enlisted the band to open several sold - out shows .

in addition to these more immersive installations , the exhibition includes a number of framed objects and images that necessitate close and careful scrutiny . a pair of alternative photographic prints produced with the cooperation of the sun depicts imperfect ovals , luminescent against a dark background , that look like dated and romantic renderings of asteroids or planets . close engagement with the prints reveals crosshatched pencil marks that are repeated in a number of ways throughout the exhibition .
ireland’s kodaline proved the enduring power of the classic four - piece rock line - up when they burst out of their dublin suburb with 2007 ' s debut single ' give me a minute . ' it became the first independently released single to hit the heights of number one on the irish charts and immediately established the group as contenders for u2 ' s throne . but rather than rush headlong into the studio to capitalize on their hype , kodaline took their time writing and settling on a stable line - up before finally releasing an acclaimed self - titled ep in 2012 . their debut album , in a perfect word ( 2013 ) , allowed kodaline to make a gloriously noisy transatlantic splash .
i watched it , but , . . . . it wasn ' t a great movie . acting was ok
stylishly low budget , a great ( albeit by the numbers ) minimalist indie thriller . a fun ride to the end of line with an able cast ( and what may be one of the most beautiful women . . .
fast forward to 2013 when the group headed back home to iceland to begin building the framework for their highly anticipated sophomore album . splitting studio sessions between iceland and los angeles throughout 2014 / early 2015 , of monsters and men tapped rich costey ( muse , foster the people , interpol ) to co - produce . eyeing an early summer 2015 release , they return to the road in the spring . be on the lookout for more from the band very soon as their story expands further .
they have charmed tv audiences with appearances on the tonight show with jay leno , late night with jimmy fallon , the graham norton show , and saturday night live . in the midst of it all , they lent the single “dirty paws” to a trailer for the secret life of walter mitty , while “silhouettes” was featured on the hunger games : catching fire soundtrack .

in an analogous way , wickramasinghe’s deft and poetical use of futuristic tools and material craftmanship has created a space that seems almost outside of time . there is a certain sense of groundlessness : we are suspended and circulating like the paper planes .
in an adjoining room , a sculptural form composed of natural and crafted crystals , glass and metal sits atop a plinth and casts a ship - like shadow against the wall on which a video projection is displayed : a reel of seascapes , expanses of water and less definable imagery that could just as easily be earth or outer space . at times temperate and at others tumultuous , the video suggests an impossible journey through disparate times and spaces and , whether enlarged and centered upon the projected sea , or dwarfed in the face of crashing waves and whitecaps , the shadowy ship remains steadfast in the storm .

this film is an amazing indie filmmaking attempt and first time director / writer job . i am a film director myself and having watch this film , know what kind of a limited budget they had , was amazed at how well the filmmakers created the whole experience of being in a speeding train . aside from the technical aspects , this film isn ' t that great . what i mean is that if you ' re not a filmmaker but just a regular person looking to watch an entertaining film then this might not be for you . it ' s got the thrills and some mystery , but really it ' s not a great story . i would say everything about this film , weather it ' s the vfx or editing or cinematography , acting , sets etc are great ! some of them even better than some big budget hollywood productions . what isn ' t great is the most fundamental thing of all the script and directing . it ' s not bad , just not good . main problem i find with the way the film was directed is that it ' s as if the director treated each scene as a separate short film .
in the video , the man is a bit shocked at first and doesn ' t seem to understand what ' s happening .
i love the image evoked by the word slide ! yes , it’s so true . it is also one of the wonderful things about galleries , there is always a time when you can be almost alone with the works . it would be so different to experience the work if others are in the space ; i loved having the place to myself to enjoy for as long as seemed appropriate , without the staff wondering what i might be up to .

natalie and i had a similar experience of “take hold lightly , let go lightly . ” amused by our shadows like children or cats . there’s something very visceral about watching ( almost even feeling ) the shadows slide across your body and i like your suggestion that the spectator becomes a sort of collaborator in the work . since our first visit , i have been back to the show a few times and have to say that the experience has yet to get old .
a self - described
celtic soul
trio , the script were founded by guitarist mark sheehan and vocalist danny o ' donoghue in 2001 . the two musicians had previously performed together in mytown , an irish - based boy band that enjoyed moderate success at home but failed to generate international acclaim . after the group disbanded , sheehan and o ' donoghue spent several years in los angeles , where they worked as producers alongside the likes of teddy riley , the neptunes , and rodney jerkins . they later relocated to dublin and recruited glen power as their drummer , trading promising careers in production for a blend of contemporary r & b and polished , anthemic pop / rock .
after an independently released debut single and a self - released ep , the band signed to virgin records . their first studio album , bad blood , was released in march 2013 and entered the uk albums chart at number one , mainly due to their breakthrough hit
pompeii
. the band was nominated for four brit awards at the 2014 ceremony , winning the british breakthrough act . as of november 2014 , bastille have sold over five million records in the us and 2 . 5 million records in the uk .
the installation , take hold lightly , let go lightly ( 2013 ) , occupies a significant portion of the gallery space . a trio of paper planes , embellished with laser - cut patterns , is suspended from the ceiling , concentrically moving in consort with carefully trained , individualized lights . as the planes smoothly circle the space , their overgrown shadows are cast in mirrored movement across the gallery walls , sliding like silk slowly drawn across the bodies of spectators . standing amongst these lazy airplanes is like being lulled and hypnotized by a mobile hanging above an infant giant’s crib . the circling shadows are reminiscent of those cheerfully coloured zootropes set beside our own childhood beds . a single image is mounted on the wall and illuminated – a sheet of intricately cut and patterned paper , revealing the pre - folded appearance of the paper planes .
well now , it seems disney agrees and has decided to give the princess a remake , following the jungle book ' s success as well as maleficent and cinderella .

niki caro in an interview said it would be
a big , girly martial arts epic . it will be extremely muscular and thrilling and entertaining and moving . ”
& the way you captured the feeling of the exhibition here : “there is a certain sense of groundlessness : we are suspended and circulating like the paper planes . ”
we reported back in march 2017 that there is no li shang ! a casting call notice listed another lead character - chen honghui . disney confirmed this was the case .
mumford & sons are a british rock band band from london , england , formed in 2007 . the band consists of marcus mumford , ben lovett , winston marshall and ted dwane .
bastille are a british indie pop band formed in 2010 . the group began as a solo project by lead vocalist dan smith , but later expanded to include keyboardist kyle simmons , bassist and guitarist will farquarson , and drummer chris wood . the name of the band derives from bastille day , which is celebrated on 14 july , the date of smith ' s birthday .
the lattice like pattern in the drawing is so clean and precise that it appears more likely the product of computer graphics than the careful composition of an artist armed with a pencil and a magnifying glass . ( wickramasinghe shyly admitted that she has a lot of patience ) . displayed directly across from the diptychs is the series line drawing – alchemy of light . in each of its iterations , sheets of stacked paper were put through a laser cutter and incised with triangular cuts of various scales . the resulting objects , intended ( according to the artist ) to be like extensions of the pencil patterns in crystal study , look like labyrinthine environments with an intricate system of fences or fortresses . their complicated architecture reveals innumerable inconsistencies and unexpected details the longer they are inspected and their multi - layered topography appears to go on forever . when standing as close as we were for an extended period of time , it is easy to forget that these objects are made of paper . the burnt edges where the laser struck are brown and brittle and thinner strands have been so fried and dehydrated that they have taken on the consistency of wicker or straw . with only their tops tacked to the wall , a simple sigh or deep breath causes the sheets of paper to flutter and move like the folding bellows of an accordion . as with many of the included works , there is something anthropomorphic about alchemy of light and the way that it reacts to its environment .

in pavitra wickramasinghe’s current exhibition , time machine , at concordia’s fofa gallery , shadows are employed as medium and share the space with drawings , sculptures , video and found objects . cast against softly lit walls in the uncommonly dark gallery , wickramasinghe’s shadows are more soothing than scary . not the least bit threatening , they imbue the exhibition with a dreamlike quality , both peaceful and playful – the success of this pairing attested to by the widening eyes and wondrous fascination of the few children present at the vernissage . the show as a whole is quiet , calm and comforting and reveals the affective and under - acknowledged strength of subtlety .
two series in particular bear traces of similar mark making and are titled line poem – crystal study and line poem – alchemy of light respectively . the first includes a collection of diptychs that pair small sculptural objects – ivory coloured epsom salt crystals in the form they naturally take when dried – with pencil drawings that trace their shapes and expand outwards imaginatively .

the exhibition as a whole appears to have an ecology all of its own wherein the objects , images and installations are both formed by , and generative of , light and shadow . if we are thinking of the alchemy of dualities , we can also talk about the curious blend of anachronism and futurism at work here . the show’s title , time machine is apparently a reference to the artist’s fascination with american physicist ronald . l . mallett’s theory of time travel based on already existing laser technology . it was surprising to learn that this mallett is not some semi - mythical 19 th century character whose dreams of time travel inspired artists and symbolist poets more than scientific possibility and further research , but is indeed contemporary . serving in the u . s . air force during the vietnam war and having taught physics at the university of connecticut since 1975 , he has devoted his life’s work to rendering realistic the possibility of time travel . the fact that this seemingly retro form of futurism is being actively pursued in the present arguably affirms that wonder and imagination are still powerful and transformative forces .

the death of superman at the hands of the nightmare creature called doomsday made headlines across the country in the 1990s , and now dc comics has gathered the story of the man of steel’s death and return in one volume for the first time ever . this amazing story guest stars the justice league of america and many other dc comics heroes as they witness the fall and rise of the greatest super - hero of all time .
one of the biggest comic events of the early 90s was the death of superman , which saw the man of steel fall at the hands of doomsday . superman # 75 sold out multiple printings and reshaped the dcu , leading to reign of the supermen event that teased out the return of kal - el with four potential candidates .

the original “death of superman” story was created by mike carlin , dan jurgens , roger stern , louise simonson , jerry ordway , and karl kessel . superman’s death in superman # 75 was a highlight of the speculator bubble in the 1990s . superman’s death was followed by the “funeral for a friend” story , which saw superman’s loved ones , included the heroes of the dc comics universe , in mourning and attending superman’s funeral .
adventures of superman # 500 : superman ' s apparent revival and the appearance of the four supermen .
at comic - con international : san diego , warner bros . animation , dc entertainment and warner bros . home entertainment announced plans to adapt the popular “death and return of superman ” storyline as two animated movies releasing in 2018 and 2019 .
coincidentally , the death of superman was also the title of the last episode of the super powers team : galactic guardians , although its story was completely different .
max landis ( the son of famed animal house director john landis and screenwriter of chronicle ) has released the death and return of superman , an entertaining , whisky - fueled 17 - minute short detailing that bizarre 1990s storyline . and all of your favorite heroes are here , like bloodwynd , eradicator , and the guardian !
again , like the previous two storylines , the collected edition of reign of the supermen ! did not use its original title , dc comics instead chose to use the return of superman .
the death and return of superman storyline brought in millions of readers to dc comics , despite the entirety of the story being intertwined through numerous different comic series , including action comics , superman , superman : the man of steel , and adventures of superman , among others . the cover of superman ( vol . 2 ) # 75 became an iconic image : superman ' s tattered cape wrapped around a pole , marking a makeshift grave .
it’s one of the most popular and powerful superman stories ever told , but it’s such an epic tale that it can’t be faithfully told over a single film . so when warner bros . animation , dc entertainment and warner bros . home entertainment adapt the famous story of the death and return of the man of steel just in time for its 25th anniversary , it’ll be as two separate feature - length animated movies .
it’s a big weekend for max landis . sure , the son of legendary director john landis has a few screenplays in various stages of production but this weekend marks his first to finally make it to the big screen , chronicle ( read a review here ) . he’s also picked this weekend to release his much ballyhooed short film the death and return of superman .
literal , insider version what happened in 1992 when dc comics decided to kill , then resurrect , superman . chronicle writer max landis made this monologue about “the death and return of superman” storyline from dc comics over parody - like sketches .
is “a somewhat - mostly - accurate educational parody film , ” according to its creators . those creators ?
max landis was born on august 3 , 1985 in los angeles county , california , usa . he is a writer and actor , known for chronicle ( 2012 ) , the death and return of superman ( 2011 ) and me him her ( 2015 ) .
the spirit of the “reign of the superman” story was present in superman : doomsday , but the details were greatly simplified . instead of four different supermen , the superman : doomsday included a single superman clone who was created and controlled by lex luthor . superman : doomsday also saw the true superman return in his fan favorite black and silver costume and “business in the front , party in the back” haircut .
the death and return of superman , described as “an educational parody , ” tells the hilarious , literal , insider version what happened in 1992 when dc comics decided to kill , then resurrect , superman . it’s a story many of us remember , but have long since forgotten .
: superman ' s death would have long - reaching consequences long after his revival . in
superman ' s death - like manner set into motion a series of resurrections in the dc universe . green arrow , donna troy , elongated man , hal jordan , metamorpho , jason todd , and others have experienced comic book death and resurrections . these events have been attributed to the door between life and death being kept open since superman died .
in the appropriately titled
the death and return of superman
- - not be confused with the 1994 video game on snes - - landis speaks directly to the audience as he candidly vents his frustration with the death of superman and dc comics in general . taking a tongue - and - cheek approach , the narrator ' s ramblings are synched with deliberately cheesy dramatizations , a la funny or die ' s drunk history shorts .
the cavalry arrives late : a played for drama version , where ice and bloodwynd return to metropolis to aid superman , only to discover that the battle with doomsday is now over and superman is dying of his wounds .
revealed at the batman and harley quinn premiere at san diego comic - con ( and followed up by an official dc press release ) , the two - part film breaks the story up into its core components , echoing the original dual events . the death of superman will be the first film , releasing in late 2018 ; it will stay truer to the comic story of doomsday ' s rampage than superman : doomsday was , and will feature a number of scenes from that storyline that were cut from the previous film . it will be followed by reign of the supermen in early 2019 , which will go into full detail of all four supermen ( as opposed to the one that was featured in doomsday ) .
finally , in early 2019 , look for reign of the supermen , the second part of the two - part adaptation . while we’ll have to wait for an official synopsis to learn all of the details , that name should be a familiar one to superman fans and suggests we’ll be seeing the rise of the superman alternates that took his place during the year after his death . ( for those unfamiliar with the story , they were steel , cyborg superman , superboy and the last son of krypton . ) this part of the death and return of superman was greatly simplified in doomsday , which instead featured a single alternate superman rather than the four we saw in the comics .
the game follows the events of the death of superman starting from the time that the underworlders take over the metropolis power plant to superman ' s return and defeat of the cyborg . other heroes such as green lantern , supergirl , and the justice league are omitted from the game ( though the league is mentioned in a cutscene ) and other notable enemies such as mongul are also missing from the plot . while an image of an unpowered superman is present in the game , the player never gets to battle with superman in this form .
and actually , the lesson at the end about comic book death . i ' m not sure if superman really did break comic book death , but it does seem as though death has gotten fairly silly in comics over the last ten or so years , to the point that whenever publishers talk up a character ' s big ! shocking ! death ! everyone pretty much knows it will mean nothing .
the golden age superman , kal - l , fought and defeated doomsday alongside the modern superman during the battle of metropolis .
starter villain : the underworld warworlders in the first part of the
death of superman
arc , continuing a subplot that had been going on in the previous issues of superman : the man of steel . they have no relation to doomsday and superman defeats them before they can invade the surface without much difficulty .
the film was screened twice at the san diego comic - con ' 07 as a special sneak preview on thursday , july 26th . both reactions and reviews were positive .
remember when the man of steel died and came back in the 1990s ? well , this is the closest we ' re going to get to a live - action death of superman movie . and it ' s kind of amazing .
an educational parody film by max landis , produced by bryan basham starring elden henson , elijah wood , mandy moore , morgan krantz and many more .
superman : dont let the costume fool you . im superman - and im back .
faux death : many of the adaptations to this story transform superman ' s death into this . the novel would claim that all superman needed was time in the sun to fully recharge , but points out that if he had ran out of solar power , he really would have died .
a trailer released in june 2007 showed a slightly altered animation style from that of the regular dc animated universe . lois and superman have a relationship , but the man of steel hasn ' t revealed his identity to lois until the end of the film , even though she already knows . lex luthor ii and supergirl are not in the film ; present is a similar lex luthor to that of the dcau — the corrupt tycoon of lexcorp ; the fight between superman and doomsday occurs at night ( instead of during the day , as it did in the comics ) ; there are fewer supermen ; among other changes and differences .
batman isn’t alone though . j . k . simmons revealed that he’s wrapped filming as commissioner gordon , noting how they “just kind of introduce him and see a little bit of his interactions with batman and with most of the justice league” in the film .
bloodless carnage : averted . the death portion is pretty brutal , from the first squished bird to the final blow .
the story was eventually adapted as an animated film called superman : doomsday in 2007 , but it was highly condensed in order to fit the plot within the film ' s short runtime . it was also used as the premise for the final act of batman v superman : dawn of justice . now , dc universe original movies is creating a new two - part adaptation that promises to be much more faithful to the original story .
roger stern adapted the death of superman storyline into a novel , entitled the death and life of superman , in the summer of 1993 . it was released in hardcover form and then in paperback a year later . ( hardcover isbn 0 - 553 - 09582 - x , paperback isbn 0 - 553 - 56930 - 9 ) a young adult version book was written by louise simonson under the title superman : doomsday & beyond and released at the same time as the hardcover of death and life . it features cover art by alex ross , his first sale to dc .
berserk button : it ' s generally not a good idea to call superboy anything other than superman , prior to the real superman ' s return . destroying his jacket is also not recommended .
though snyder completed most of the filming , the director will be stepping back from the project as of may 2017 , following the tragic death of his daughter . the filmmaker will hand over the reins to joss whedon for any additional scenes and the remainder of post - production .
this was it . this was the event that heralded the dark age of comics in the ' 90s . dc comics broke death in comic books and nothing was ever the same .
the final episode of super friends ( aired in november 1985 ) , was also titled
the death of superman
, and opened with the funeral ceremony , featuring the coffin being sent into the sun . he gets better he was only mostly dead . an earlier story from challenge of the superfriends also featured superman ( and the rest of the league ) being killed .
: both cyborg superman and the eradicator are pastiches of this 90 ' s trend .

doomsday !
and
funeral for a friend
( although thorn would later return elsewhere in the dcu ) . gangbuster made one more appearance in adventures of superman # 500 , but he ' d return much later in kurt busiek ' s weekly series trinity .
an incredible & ground - breaking story line that , combined with the other tpbs
world without a superman
&
the return of superman
presents an incredibly gripping story that takes time to spotlight many of the more minor & lessor known characters in metropolis .
revealed at san diego comic - con tonight at the packed batman and harley quinn world premiere , the death of superman adaptation was just one of the upcoming animated films in the popular dc universe original movies line that was announced for 2018 .
cult : a cult of superman worshipers make their prominence after superman ' s death , proclaiming that he will rise and save them all . the cult splits in four once the superman replacements show up , each claiming that their chosen substitute was the real superman reborn . though we never learn what became of them , especially when it was revealed to the public that none of them are the real superman , and one of them was a villain .
the animated movie is more or less the same as the comics arc ( especially the death sequence ) but with the exclusion of the justice league and the superman wannabes ( except for an ( adult ) clone ) , probably to make the story simpler ( or for licensing reasons . )
the first issue for each of the new heroes featured a cardstock cover and a poster of the new hero .
initially , the death of superman storyline was a huge success - comic - book fans that had never previously read a superman title snatched up the issue en masse . when superman was subsequently revived , however , the backlash was equally strong - diehard superman fans had bought the death issue on the expectation that that the book itself would become a prized collectible , and felt ' cheated ' when he was suddenly revived ( which made the book nearly worthless as a collectible ) .
the confrontation between the man of tomorrow and the last son of krypton initially seems to be an example of this . it turns out that
the climactic event happened in superman ( vol . 2 ) # 75 . the issue only contains 22 panels , and every page was a single panel , which was a structure building on the previous issues — adventures of superman # 497 was done entirely with four - panel pages , action comics # 684 with three , and superman : the man of steel # 19 with two . the entire story was immediately collected into a trade paperback and titled the death of superman .
superman - - dead !
- - the daily planet on november 18 , 1992 , news of superman ' s death shocked the world as the legendary man of steel was killed defending metropolis from the monster called doomsday . here at last is the dramatic story behind the best - selling comic book of all time : the fates of clark kent , lois lane , ma and pa kent , the justice league , and the reign of the four super - beings who mysteriously appeared after superman ' s funeral , each claiming to be the real last son of krypton . and finally , here is the complete incredible story of superman ' s triumphant return ! in this thrilling novel , roger stern , a veteran writer of action comics , chronicles the most amazing comeback in comic - book history - - told with more gripping detail and background than ever before .
the film gives you a look at how much a fanboy landis actually is , and it has an all star cast that includes elijah wood , mandy moore , ron howard , chris hardwick , and simon pegg . this short had me busting up laughing all the way through , because these were all of my thoughts on this comic book fart packed into one of the best rants i ' ve ever seen on the death of superman . here ' s a note from landis . . .
the dtv film was released on september 18th , 2007 . it made its u . s . broadcast premier on the cartoon network saturday , july 12 , 2008 at 9 : 00 pm est .
this isn ' t the first time that dc has adapted classic stories as a two - part animated film ; the dark knight returns was similarly adapted in 2012 and 2013 , with a deluxe edition that combined the two films into a single volume being released later in that year . it ' s possible that death of superman and reign of the supermen will get a similar combined edition in late 2019 , though dc has made no announcements along these lines as yet .
the first half of the reign of the supermen ! story focuses on each of the supermen “resuming” his duty as protector of metropolis and gaining acceptance from the public . of the four , the reader very quickly learns that neither the cloned metropolis kid nor the john henry irons man of steel are the real superman . the cyborg man of tomorrow and the last son of krypton were easily bought in by the people as the possible real superman , since lois questioned both of them , and both recalled memories which clark kent had . cyborg was even tested by dr . hamilton who stated that the cyborg appeared to be the real superman .
in terms of their justice league roster , dc / warner bros . is leaning on known quantities to populate the team . we of course have batman and superman leading the charge , along with wonder woman , aquaman , the flash , and cyborg . notably absent will be green lantern , likely an attempt to further distance the studio from the disappointing standalone film they released back in 2011 .
however , a rumor reported by birth . movies . death . claims that while darkseid will be playing a large role , his uncle , steppenwolf will be the main villain . in the comics , steppenwolf is more of a minor character , giving director zack snyder plenty of creative license to tell a new story . another report from birth . movies . death . claimed that darkseid won’t play as large of a role as originally thought , noting that while “darkseid is a presence in the movie , and fully appears at the end of the film , don’t expect him to do much . ”
however , the most famous instance was the
death of superman
story arc in the superman comics during the 1990s , and the animated movie ( based on that story ) titled superman doomsday ( which started off the dc universe animated original movies line ) that came out in 2007 . additionally , the line will revisit the story with a more faithful adaptation , split into two parts , in 2018 and 2019 .
up until the death of superman event , dc comics writers lived on a fixed set of rules when it came to how the post - crisis superman ' s powers were portrayed . this was changed upon his return . the change could be traced to when the eradicator transformed the kryptonite radiation into something that would re - empower the revived superman . in a battle with lobo , he discovered he could survive the vacuum of space indefinitely , something the post - crisis superman could not do . he also noticed his strength has increased . although this was part of a subplot involving superman ' s powers growing out of control as he absorbed too much solar energy , the depiction of his power was not as consistent as before .
even though it sounds as if he’s completely trashing the genre , you could say the younger landis has a keen interest in superheroes . he wrote the screenplay for the new film chronicle , which revolves around a group of teenage boys who find themselves with superpowers .
rounding out the 2018 releases will be death of superman , the first part of the two - parter . adapting the legendary story of superman’s fatal battle with doomsday , this will actually be the second dc universe original movie to adapt the material . the first , 2007’s superman : doomsday , was the very first dc universe original movie and greatly condensed and altered the original comic book event to fit within its 75 - minute running time . the upcoming adaptation will be more faithful to the source material , much less condensed and will include many of the fan - favorite moments from the story that were left out of doomsday .
superman throws doomsday into the bottom of a lake , slowing him down long enough so that the man of steel can return and save the mother and her infant daughter . after doomsday escapes from the silty lake bed , he and superman tear up a city street . maxima then re - enters the fray . lois lane and jimmy olsen are sent to cover the battle for television , while lex luthor ii dissuades supergirl from joining the fight . the fight continues at a gas station , where maxima rips a light post from the ground ; the sparks from the wiring ignite the leaking gasoline and the station is destroyed in a huge explosion . guardian arrives after doomsday leaves , finding superman and maxima , and offers his aid .
to prepare earth to be converted into a warworld ( basically like a death star ) . he started by annihilating
naturally , dc comics was not planning on really killing off one of their main most famous characters permanently : it was a publicity stunt to boost sales , and the plan was to soon bring him back . however , the general media picked up the story and ran with it , and a lot of people believed it . this is because , at the time , this thing hadn ' t been done to death ; this story may have been the trope codifier for death is cheap ( whose former trope namer is
comic book death
) .
superman is always fun to watch , and i didn ' t mind the new clark kent and lois lane .
the metropolis kid , who hated being called superboy , is a reckless teenage clone of superman . this superman appeared in the the adventures of superman starting with # 501 . he is a result of the brief time cadmus attempted to clone superman . he later had a career as superboy .

2016 was a transformative year for the superhero genre . deadpool proved that an r - rating can actually be profitable . captain america : civil war kicked the door down for the next age of marvel movies . and not to be overlooked , batman v superman : dawn of justice kicked things off for dc’s own film universe , subsequently setting the stage for the next five years of planned releases from warner bros .
the death of superman took place months before the breaking of batman ' s back in the
knightfall
storyline . some critics praised dc for boldly and innovatively drawing in more readers . however , others were critical , citing the two concurrent storylines as publicity stunts , since it was unlikely that dc would ever eliminate its most popular characters . some years later , chuck rozanksi , owner of retailer mile high comics , would pen a controversial essay in the comics buyer ' s guide which blamed the death of superman promotion for playing a significant role in the collapse of the comic book industry in the late 1990s .
in 2019 , the story of superman’s fate will continue in reign of the supermen . while the official synopsis for reign of the supermen hasn’t been released yet , fans will remember that the “reign of the superman” comic book storyline saw four would - be supermen step up to replace the fallen kal - el : steel , cyborg superman , superboy , and the last son of krypton ( later known as the eradicator ) .
superboy ( who turned out to be only a partial
clone
of superman ) and the man of steel ( whose name became simply
steel
) went on to become recurring characters in the dc universe , each eventually getting his own monthly title . superboy was a member of the ravers , young justice , the legion of super - heroes , and the teen titans , before perishing in infinite crisis . steel appeared in some episodes of the animated series , as well as his own film , and became a member of the justice league of america ; he also briefly became a true superhuman , no longer relying on outside sources ( i . e . the armor ) to provide his powers . the eradicator became leader of a new team of outsiders and his status is currently unknown after the events of infinite crisis . the cyborg superman became a recurring nemesis in the superman and green lantern titles .
the death of superman arc happened by accident : originally , the then - current superman writers were going to get superman and lois lane married ; however , lois & clark : the new adventures of superman was already green - lit at abc , and the producers of the show wanted the wedding to happen first on the show . forced to come up with a new storyline to replace
the wedding
arc , jerry ordway , the then - current writer for the adventures of superman , jokingly said at the next meeting ,
let ' s just kill ' im !
normally , the other writers would laugh it off , but this time , they would do the deed .
the man of steel : john henry irons was an ironworker and ex - weapons designer for the military who wears a suit of armor and wields a hammer . he did not claim to actually be superman , but rather to represent the spirit of superman and continue his legacy . the man of steel appeared in superman : the man of steel starting with # 22 . he later changed his name to just
steel

each of the supermen were designed with ideas taken from some of the monikers that superman is often associated with . the four new heroes were :
rex leech and a couple of big goons also tried to intimidate jimmy olsen into selling him the licensing rights to the picture of superman ' s torn cape .
the storyline , devised by editor mike carlin and the superman writing team of dan jurgens , roger stern , louise simonson , jerry ordway , and karl kesel , met with enormous success : the superman titles gained international exposure , reaching to the top of the comics sales charts and selling out overnight . the event was widely covered by national and international news media .

with the original storyline set aside in the comic , an original event was needed to replace it . according to a documentary on superman : doomsday , the superman writing team members were miffed at having a year ' s worth of story planning put aside , and flustered for ideas . at the end of one meeting , adventures of superman writer jerry ordway suggested , jokingly ,
let ' s just kill ' im .
the joke became a running gag in story meetings , but eventually gained traction with superman group editor mike carlin . in the documentary film look , up in the sky : the amazing story of superman carlin states :

pragmatic adaptation : the novel version of the saga , the death and life of superman , made a number of alterations to the
funeral for a friend
and
reign of the supermen
storylines , due to the fact it was being done while the series was being written . most of the dc universe don ' t make an appearance , outside of the justice league , wonder woman and batman ( which is very odd since they obliterate coast city , yet hal jordan doesn ' t show up at all ! ) , the entire fourth chapter of
funeral
is omitted ( where the other dc heroes answer the christmas mail superman usually gets ) , steel ' s story is greatly compressed and the final chapters , due to the lack of hal jordan , is heavily altered . as well , anything to do with the underworlders and keith , the young orphan , is omitted and the newsboy legion takes their place .
roger stern not only [ tells ] the story of superman ' s death and resurrection but also the entire post - crisis history of the man of steel , his world and his supporting characters . stern breaks everything down into a manageable , easily digestible form . it ' s all there . sure he makes some major and minor tweaks to the overall story but they all work for this version of the tale . i really can ' t say enough good things about this book . if you have only read the comic - book version of the death and return you owe it to yourself to read this version as well .

stern is a highly underrated writer . his novelization of the death of superman showed that a single writer on that storyline could have made it a more effective story .
- - jeff nettelton
stern doesn ' t only write action / adventure , he writes real , compelling characters .

the best attribute in roger stern ' s work is his heart . his stories tend to be rooted in the decency of heroes - - his heroes have heart .

some fans may worry about how the storyline will be adapted following the backlash against batman : the killing joke and its handling of batgirl . unlike that adaptation , however , the death and return of superman didn ' t come from a single graphic novel . the changes made to the killing joke were made to provide more material and fill screentime . these stories were presented in full arcs across multiple comics , so there won ' t be a need to add additional material . in fact , the stories will still need to be condensed somewhat to fit them into just two films . with any luck , the films will provide fans with the experience that they missed out on with the killing joke .

this is the best version of the death and life of superman out there . i ' ve tried reading the graphic novels and collections from this event , and they ' re awful . the 90 ' s were not a great era for comic books , and it shows . however , this novelization really grabs the best parts of the story . you get a real feel for the characters and their ordeals . we see clark / superman for the hero he is , learn about the pretenders as they emerge , and are captivated by the villains as their plots unfold . i got it as a gift on my 11th birthday and read it a bunch of times . i lost it a long time ago , and when it came up in conversation i had to get another copy . the book is just as good as i remember
