Yeah, that's been news for at least two weeks now.

If Wonder Girl is a combo character, I hope they also mix the name. Given the Wonder chicks' connection to Greek mythology, the name Cassandra Troy would be far more evocative of that mythos. Particularly if they make her to be always right but nobody ever believes her :D

This new superman movie already has turd written on it. They less than a year to film and they have no script. It probably would have made more sense for them to just release All Star Superman in theaters.

Seeing as it was based on the best Superman story of recent memory would make it all the worse if that were the case. But Chris Sims over at ComicsAlliance just reviewed it and said it was one of the best. And given his opinion of the comic, I take him seriously. And another review I read gave it a B-, so "turd" may be a bit much.

I may download to see if I want to buy it. I usually buy, but some of these things have been so weak as to make me regret buying.

He's talking about the upcoming live action movie, I think.

My bad, yeah, I was talking about the live action movie. I don't even remember why I brought it up.

Speaking of All-Star Superman, the screen writer for the movie, Dwayne McDuffie passed away today.  :(

Yeah, a real shame. He was one of the greats. Even worse is that it seems to have been something that cropped up rather suddenly, as he died from complications stemming from what was apparently an emergency surgical procedure Monday night.

Sorry for the mix-up. There's so much Superman stuff going on lately :P

A tragedy. I don't know that I read any of his comics, but I did enjoy what I've seen of JLU.

Back to Superman....

Has anyone being reading this Reign of Doomsday stuff?

Is it worth reading?

I generally avoid Doomsday stuff. He, like Bane, was only dreamed up as a means selling books with Superman temporarily dying. There's just nothing to him but killing and being used by others to do their killing. The single best scene ever featuring Doomsday was the tiny panel in Infinite Crisis where Kal-L Earth-2 Golden Age Old Superman catches his punch in mid-air, says, "not this time, monster," and literally punches his jaw off.

But apparently it has him trying to kill the four Supermen from the Reign of the Supermen storyline, which could be fun.  Superboy just got over dying not long ago, so he's safe. Eradicator has been crap for years since he quit being Punisher Superman after Henshaw blew his ass to smithereenies, so the magic eight ball says he croaks. Steel probably won't make it, either, as he hasn't been dead in a while...the last time being at the hands of--take a wild guess--Doomsday. Natch.

And then there's Cyborg Superman...so that ought to be cool, since Doomsday has had a beef with Henshaw ever since he launched his ass into deep space while he was dead/unconscious from the beating The Real Effin' Superman gave him in Superman #75. And Henshaw's so bad-ass the only guy who otherwise had a shot at killing him was the Anti-monitor...and that includes Darkseid in the figuring.

It took every Kryptonian on New Krypton to kill Doomsday last time, so I don't see yet how they're going to up the ante.

Henshaw won't die, at least not a real death. That's been his thing for so long. He joined forces with the Sinestro Corps because the Anti-Monitor promised him death,and then Prime goes and throws the Anti-Monitor into deep space where he floated until Scar got a hold of him(huh, didn't know Henshaw did the same thing to Doomsday). Henshaw was pretty much destroyed at the end of that, but the Manhunters put him back together again. Then he tried with the Alpha-Lanterns to find a way to reverse engineer the process, hoping that Ganthet could kill him.

I actually really like Henshaw. I'd like him to get what he's seeking, but I find him too interesting to really want it.

Yeah, Cyborg Supes is one of the more inventive enemies they ever came up with. I nearly fell out of my chair when I discovered who he really was in Reign of the Supermen...I'd read that story introducing Henshaw and his Fan-tragic Four storyline and never figured it'd matter past the two issues that comprised it. He's quite the flexible opponent, given his guile, technological proclivities, and raw strength.

But yeah...when the Cyborg Superman first hit the scene, he busts into STAR Labs, confiscates the body of Doomsday, straps it to an asteroid, and hurls it into deep space, along with an anti-tampering homing device/self-preserving backup unit in case he got destroyed...which he did.

He's a smart man.

He gained amazing powers.

Now he just wants to die.

The Cyborg Superman.
