I was expecting that Krypton show to look like hot dookie with CW effects and costumes. That teaser actually looked okay. I'm still apprehensive about it though.

History’s Superheroes Decoded documentary set to premiere April 30
History has announced that its upcoming two-part documentary special Superheroes Decoded is set to premiere Sunday, April 30 and Monday, May 1 at 9 p.m. ET. The special reveals the surprising true beginnings of America’s legendary superhero characters from their emergence in the dark days of the Great Depression and they evolved into the blockbuster franchises we know today – their epic origin story is the story of America.
With rare access to top creators at both DC and Marvel, Superheroes Decoded uncovers how the rise of the superhero parallels America’s rise as a superpower in the 20th century, evolving through the decades into a uniquely American mythology that has captured audiences across the globe. Using modern film clips, vintage comic artwork, historical archival material, and interviews with dozens of experts, fans and creators such as Captain America: Civil War star, Anthony Mackie; Captain America: Civil War directors, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo; A Game of Thrones author, George R. R. Martin; Iron Man Director, Jon Favreau; former President of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee; and best-selling author and DC comic writer Brad Meltzer; Superheroes Decoded tells the story of the modern era through the lens of America’s greatest fictional heroes.
Part one explores the making of the iconic American superhero. From the creation of Superman, Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man and beyond, these all-American legends have endured through decades of war, triumph and scandal, constantly evolving to reflect the country’s changing values in a tumultuous world. From World War II and Vietnam to Watergate and the tragedy of 9/11, these mythic heroes embody America’s deepest fears and greatest aspirations.
Part two examines the American rebel and how sometimes being a hero means breaking the rules. From the beginning, superheroes like The X-Men, The Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man, Luke Cage, and Wolverine have challenged authority and fought for outsiders, a battle that reflects the country’s most profound real-world divisions and struggles for justice. From their often controversial origins to recent resurgence in movies of today, these rebels redefine heroism for a new generation.
Superheroes Decoded is produced for History by Warrior Poets. Morgan Spurlock and Jeremy Chilnick are executive producers for Warrior Poets. Josh Mensch serves as co-executive producer for Warrior Poets. Kristen Burns serves as executive producer for History.
Joss Whedon Talks BATGIRL Casting; Suggests He May Be Thinking Of An Unknown Actress For The Role
Variety caught up with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator on the red carpet of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 world premiere and quizzed him about his plans for the film - specifically who he may or may not in mind for the title role.
Whedon said he was focusing on finding the character right now and hadn't even thought about casting, but when pressed, he does seem to suggest that he'd rather Barbara Gordon wasn't played by a big-name star... unless it was Vin Diesel, of course
He's trying to convey why the character of Superman would snap a dude's neck in half. You can't do that looking all sane.Man why he look straight up crazy in that gif [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Clark was just channeling his inner Frank Castle.Lol so you're saying that in that moment Supes is supposed to have lost his mind?
@ Snyder
I do find it funny that folks had/still have an issue with that scene but not with him putting a spear in Zod 2.0's chest. Characters were going to do the same thing. One was just able to put it into words.
I don't recall anyone having an issue with supes killing doom with a sphere. But if someone did, i'd love to hear their rationale as to what other alternative the trinity had for defeating it.I thought people did have issues with the spear?
This should be DC's response to every criticism from now on.yall need to let it go. necks were snapped. monsters were speared. dads were taken away by tornados. mistakes were made you know?
describing 2 out of 3 films..yall need to let it go. necks were snapped. monsters were speared. dads were taken away by tornados. mistakes were made you know?
