Superhero Stuff You Should Know

Comic book writer Steve Englehart (The Laughing Fish, co-creator of Star Lord) once wrote two script treatments for what would become the Batman 1989 movie. For years, he's claimed that the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton film was based off of his uncredited work, but scarce details were known about it...until now! Thanks to an anonymous fan, we can exclusively break down Englehart's treatments, with comic and movie images to help visualize it, before we answer the question: just how much, or how little, did Steve Englehart's script treatments carry over into the final film?

What would Ben Affleck's The Batman film have been like? The BatFeed joins us as we chat about Deathstroke's comic book history against Batman, the proposed storyline and all the cinematic and comic book influences on Affleck's "The Batman" script (including an obscure 1980s issue with a similar premise), why the project didn't take off, the insane research that Joe Manganiello did for the role of Slade Wilson, and the unmade Deathstroke projects that Manganiello developed before his return in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor is the most controversial version of the character. Critics said he was playing more of a Riddler or Joker type while Snyder fans say that he was a fresh new take on the character, with influence from Superman: Birthright. We dive into all the different comic book inspirations for the character, debate how much of Superman Birthright is in the characterization, and discuss that if Eisenberg’s Lex is faithful, why did he get the reception he got? Welcome to part one of a special trilogy we call- SuperVILLAIN Stuff You Should Know- covering three major villains of the DC/Snyderverse. Stay tuned to find out who's next.
