DC Studios Releases The First Teaser Trailer for Superman

 

At long last and just before the year ends, Warner Bros., James Gunn, and DC Studios have FINALLY released the first teaser trailer for “Superman” - which stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/ Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Here’s the trailer, and I reacted to it as soon as it debuted.

Superman will be released on July 2025 in cinemas worldwide.

Superman & Lois sees Tyler Hoechlin sporting an updated costume

 

Next year the CW is returning to active duty with their DC slate of live action programs, as filming has resumed for shows like Superman & Lois - their new spin-off series in the Arrowverse that focuses on Clark Ken/ Superman and Lois Lane from Supergirl and giving them their own platform to tell their stories and adventures on.

Thanks to Canadagraphs, we get our first look at the updated super suit that actor Tyler Hoechlin will wear as Superman, which still doesn't have the red trunks but is noticeably more pronounced and muscular from the set photos shared on the site, and seems to be inspired by Superman's suit during the DC Rebirth period of DC Comics. Go visit and take a look at some of them at the link here for a peek at what to expect.

Superman & Lois will premiere on February 23, 2021 on The CW.

Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch take the lead in “Superman & Lois” poster

As the Corona Virus pandemic puts a halt to many things and forces business and projects to readjust plans and schedules, The CW has already revealed their new schedule for the 2020/ 2021 line-up - with much of their shows set to return and begin starting early next year. Chief among these will be the brand new “DC on the CW” program “Superman & Lois” - which is a spin-off of “Supergirl” and sees Tyler Hoechlin’s Clark Kent/ Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch’s Lois Lane reunite to spearhead their own show where the Man of Steel and his wife are taking on the task of raising two boys - all the while dealing with the usual superheroics and a return to Smallville for some Kent related business.

Here’s the official synopsis for the show from The CW:

“SUPERMAN & LOIS — In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, "Teen Wolf") and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, "Grimm"), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, "Little Fires Everywhere") and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, "The Peanuts Movie") could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older.  

Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, "Entourage"), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, "Graceland"). The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, "Wander Darkly"). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, "Nip/Tuck") looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, "All American") enters their lives. Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERMAN & LOIS is written and executive produced by Todd Helbing ("The Flash") and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns. The series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.“

Superman & Lois debuts on The CW on January 2021.

Smallville returns for 11th Season... In Novel form.

Those of you lucky enough (or unlucky depending on your expectations) to see the final episode and season of Smallville saw Tom Welling "complete the circle" and don the familiar red, blue, and yellow tights that signify his transformation into Superman. While we all thought that was done and put to rest, apparently the adventure will still continue... But NOT in television that is.

Coming from a report at Bleeding Cool and Comic Book Movie, it appears that a new novel is being prepped and dubbed as "the 11th season" for Smallville, picking up where the series was supposed to have ended, where (SPOILER) Chloe Sullivan tells the story of Superman to her son, and Clark races to the rooftop of the Daily Planet and prepares to save the day. It's a similar move done by Buffy The Vampire Slayer (in which continued with Season 8 and 9 in comic book form), and well-known Batgirl and DC Relaunch writer Bryan Q. Miller is set to handle the novel duties, and it will be part of continuity. How the further adventures of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Oliver Queen, and Chloe Sullivan goes is anybody's guess, but it's safe to say that fans of the show will be picking this one up when it comes out. For more info and details on the story, visit the source post at Bleeding Cool and CBM.

No official announcement for the Smallville 11th Season Novel has arrived, but stay tuned for updates soon.

Superman Reboot Update: Amy Adams is Lois Lane!

Fresh from her appearance in the award winning 2010 boxing flick "The Fighter", it appears that Amy Adams has landed herself another big supporting character role, this time as the love interest of Clark Kent/ Superman, Lois Lane, in Zack Snyder's upcoming 2012 reboot of the Superman film franchise!

According to a post in the LA Times' Hero Complex and Enewsi, director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. have chosen Adams as their woman to play the top female ace reporter from the Daily Planet, who makes it her mission to follow and write stories based on the Man of Steel's exploits, eventually becoming involved in Superman's life personally and romantically. The news is kinda ironic when you think about it, seeing as Amy Adams worked with Christian Bale in The Fighter, and the English actor plays Batman in the Christopher Nolan Bat-flicks! This is big news indeed, and with names like Henry Cavill as Superman, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, and Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, this may be the biggest Superman movie yet! For more info on the story, visit LA Times' Hero Complex page and Enewsi!

The untitled Superman Reboot is set to open on conventional and IMAX theaters on December 2012!
