It All Comes Back to Superman Series Two

Episode 16 - Moving Kryptonian Images Part 9 - Roads Not Taken: Superman Reborn, Lives, and Flyby


Listen Later

Welcome to an off-beat installment of the podcasting maxi-series  Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

This time out I am not covering a movie, either live action or animated. I am covering three scripts to Superman films that were never made. Joining me is Adam Mallinger, who not only worked as a script reader early in his career but was a staff writer on the CW series Superman and Lois. Adam and I go through drafts of Superman Reborn (which, if made, would have brought back Christopher Reeve as Superman, Superman Lives (written by Kevin Smith), and Superman: Flyby (written by J.J. Abrams). We discuss our overall feelings on these scripts, Kevin Smith, the role the internet plays in how movies get made, Ain't It Cool News, and more. We also dig into the differences between a script and the movie that is eventually made of that script.

Adam and I recorded this episode last year and in the time since our recording and this episode getting released there was a full cast reading of the first draft of Superman Reborn (which was originally called Superman: The New Movie) organized by David Kocher. Adam and I don't talk about it because it had not happened yet much less posted to YouTube. If you want to see that reading, the video is embedded below.
