First Look: Matt Bomer Gets Animated for Superman: Unbound
Story courtesy of TVGuide.com
Matt Bomer is
going up, up and away — into the world of animation. The mild-mannered White
Collar star has landed the lead in the upcoming movie Superman:
Unbound. Coming this spring to DVD, Blu-ray and On Demand, the film
features an all-star cast, including Fringe's John Noble as
the world-destroying alien Brainiac and Castle costars Stana Katic and
Molly Quinn
as Superman's girlfriend, Lois Lane, and cousin, Kara (aka Supergirl),
respectively.
Based on a 2008 Action Comics storyline by Geoff Johns,
Superman: Unbound — the latest in a series of movie adaptations from
Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment — pits the Man of Steel against
Brainiac, an alien who attacks planets, shrinks one city small enough to fit in
a bottle, then destroys the rest of the planet. "He's the ultimate collector,"
says director/supervising producer James Tucker (Batman: The Brave and the
Bold). "He says what he's doing is the name of science and ultimate
knowledge, but really he just wants stuff and he doesn't want anyone else to
have access to it."
Bomer took on this new identity with ease. "He had a jovial energy that was a
little counter to what we usually do with Superman," Tucker says. "But he also
had that decency in his voice that Superman really needs no matter which way you
go with him."
Noble was also perfectly suited for his role. "I could listen to him all
day," Tucker says. "John had a lot of energy and he really got into the
psychology of what was motivating Brainiac. He brought a level of intelligence,
but also that slight bit of crazy that a super villain needs to have under the
surface to make him compelling."
In addition to the dazzling voice cast, Tucker (who also did the character
design) is quite pleased with the movie's score, from composer Kevin
Kliesch. "I wanted it to sound like a contemporary movie," Tucker says
of his directive to Kliesch, whose credits include the recent
ThunderCats relaunch and the upcoming Disney Channel series Sofia
the First. "There's a lot of guitars and percussion, a lot of driving
music, it's not orchestral at all. The music's not like any movie Superman movie
you've seen."
In the film's second story thread Superman struggles to relate to the women
in his life. As his romance with Lois heats up (in his secret identity as Clark
Kent), he worries that she could be in jeopardy if his enemies discover their
connection. And his paternal instincts drive him to be overprotective of the
teenage Kara — despite the fact that she has super abilities on par with
his.

Superman Home: Planet Krypton ‘Found’ in Sky
Look! Up in the sky! It’s — oh, forget it.
Superman
is, of course, a fictional character, the stuff of comics and movies. But that
didn’t stop DC Comics, which owns the Superman franchise, from enlisting the
astrophysicist Neil
deGrasse Tyson to “find” the location of his lost home planet, Krypton.
It’s in the constellation Corvus the raven, in the southern sky not far from
Virgo and Hydra. The planet Krypton — not that it ever existed — would have
orbited a red dwarf star called LHS 2520, Tyson concluded. The star is 27.1
light-years from Earth.
You’ll recall that according to the story, the baby Kal-El was sent in a
spaceship to Earth by his parents, who knew that Krypton would soon be
destroyed. As an adult in the city of Metropolis, he disguises himself as Clark
Kent, a reporter fighting a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the
American way. But he also has feelings. In the newest comic, out this week,
Tyson is seen helping the homesick Superman trace his roots.
It’s all a good bit of publicity — both for DC Comics and for Tyson, who
directs New York’s Hayden Planetarium and has become a popular science
communicator — but you can also tell he has tongue firmly planted in cheek.
“As a native of Metropolis,” said Tyson in a statement, “I was delighted to
help Superman, who has done so much for my city over all these years.”
DC Entertainment, which says it approached Tyson, had its own take.
Co-publisher Dan DiDio said, “Having Neil deGrasse Tyson in the book was one
thing, but by applying real world science to this story he has forever changed
Superman’s place in history. Now fans will be able to look up at the night’s sky
and say, ‘That’s where Superman was born.’”

Superman vs The Elite Blu-Ray / DVD Review
click the title above to read the full review...
Interest Range: Animation, Dc Comics
Superman vs The Elite Blu-Ray / DVD Review
Synopsis: The Elite, a team of super-powered antiheroes, is renowned for killing their enemies. Despite the acclaim and approval the Elite enjoy, Superman knows they are in the wrong, creating more harm than good by their methods. Tensions between them finally culminate in a mass showdown on Jupiter’s moons, when Superman is forced to prove that violence is never a positive.
Review: Superman vs. the Elite opens with this great Sex Pistols-esque Punk rock-retro Superman montage. Its sets a great tone right off the bat. I think that I benefit a lot from the Dc Universe films in that I haven't read a lot of the story arcs that they're based on and that makes them far more enjoyable for me personally. I have no idea what is coming and I like it that way.
The focus in this film is the age-old comic book fan debate on whether heroes like Superman and Batman should keep capturing the same criminals, knowing full well they’ll break out of prison and kill again. Superman, the ultimate boyscout that he is, refuses to kill. Enter a motley crew of "superheroes" that are willing to get the job done! This film explores some fantastic themes..the acting is great, the animation is great and the overall story is fantastic. This one is an A+ to any fan of Superman, Dc Comics or just comic book themed characters in general! This one is not for kids, beware the foul language and PG-13 rating!
