Dirk Maggs Interview: Hitchhiker's, Douglas Adams, Superman, Batman, & more...

Interview James Hunt 18 Jun 2013 - 07:00
James chats to directing legend Dirk Maggs about Hitchhiker's, superheroes, Neverwhere, sci-fi, and making radio sound sexy, big, and raw...
As a radio writer and director, Dirk Maggs' body of work is about as impressive as it gets. As well as being hand-selected by Douglas Adams to continue the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series, he's also responsible for this year's smash-hit adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and the Hitchiker's Live touring stage show. James managed to catch up with him for a chat about life, the universe, and everything geeky.
So last year you did the Hitchhiker's Live tour, which reunited the radio cast on stage and had people like Stephen Fry and Neil Gaiman guesting as the voice of the book. And clearly, it was a great success, because as well as releasing the live recording, you're doing another run this year, »

Oh, what a bumpy road it has been for Superman. After two very successful films, fans were then given Superman III (1983) and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). Then there was Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which was nothing more than another studio high jacking of one of the greatest comic book heroes of all time. Superman: The Animated Series was a step in the right direction, which led to the popular Justice League series, and several direct-to-video animated films. Not to mention ten seasons of Smallville, which chronicled Clark Kent’s journey to becoming Superman.
After Christopher Nolan so brilliantly rebooted the Batman film franchise, it would only make sense that he was sought after to make this film. Instead, he merely produced it and gave it the nudges that it needed, handing »

Superman Unchained #1
Writer: Scott Snyder
Pencils: Jim Lee
Ink: Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair
Cover: Jim Lee, Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair
Publisher: DC Comics
This week undoubtedly marks one of the biggest weeks in the 75 year history of Superman. Not only is the character finally getting a movie worthy of his greatness, but DC Comics actually had the wherewithal to let one of their best writers tackle the world’s most popular comic book character. With Superman Unchained, DC is hoping to tap into writer Scott Snyder’s undeniable talent to bring their character back to forefront of comic pages after tumbling so far down since the New 52 took place. Sure, Snyder was a good choice, but just to be safe they hooked him up with the one and only Jim Lee. So is Superman Unchained the New 52 story we’ve been waiting for, or do two industry giants fail to »

Superman on TV: 60 years of punching robots

Feature Rob Smedley 14 Jun 2013 - 07:00
Rob celebrates decades of TV Superman doing what he does best: punching robots into oblivion...
It's hard to believe Superman's been zooming about on that glowing rectangle in the corner of our living rooms for most of his 75 year existence. It's just that we haven't always paid attention, what with things like the Cold War and MasterChef to distract us. But whatever the era, the medium, or the man in the tights, there's one constant when it comes to Superman on TV: he loves to break robots.
So as Superman turns 75, and Henry Cavill faces both Zod and the merciless Brain Interactive Construct of Internet Fandom, let's chart the history of the small screen Man of Steel by looking at the times he's gone up against men of metal...

Man of Steel: 7 Superman comic book controversies
13 June 2013 1:17 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
In his 75 years of life, Superman has had plenty of opportunity to upset his fans. His new, pants-less costume has caused more of a stir than you might think since its Man of Steel/New 52 redesign.
In the run-up to the release of Zack Snyder's reboot, we at Digital Spy take a look back over the moments in his long career that really had cause to offend:
Death and Rebirth
1992's 'Death of Superman' launched a year-long saga that would prove one of the title's most commercially successful storylines of all time, but it isn't without its detractors. The 'Death' part came courtesy of Doomsday, a new, silent villain who only role was to repeatedly punch the Man of Steel in the face until he breathed no more. The ensuing story - which saw four rivals emerge to replace Superman - was frequently silly and illogical. Many fans felt betrayed by his hand-wave return, »

'Man Of Steel': Tim Daly, Dana Delany Return For 'Superman: Animated Series' Mash-Up Trailer
11 June 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
That one "Man of Steel" trailer has sure left a mark on pop culture, hasn't it? Rightfully so, as it's still as powerful and perfect a trailer today as it was when it first debuted. Mash-ups and edits have been popping up all over the place, like this one done in Minecraft. This new one comes from the Hub Network and edits footage from the 54 episodes of "Superman: The Animated Series" into a near shot-for-shot remake of the film's trailer. But here's the kicker: it got original voice actors Tim Daly and Dana Delany to reprise their roles as Superman and Lois Lane. And Christopher McDonald came back to play Jor-El, as did Mike Farrell return to voice Jonathan Kent. Come on, how awesome is that?
Check out the animated trailer below, and keep getting psyched for "Man of Steel," which opens this Friday!

Superman: Unbound Review
8 June 2013 9:07 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With interest in Superman at an all time high thanks to Man of Steel coming out in less than a week, DC Animation have released Superman: Unbound to capitalise on the attention. And while I’m sure Man of Steel will be an excellent film, Superman: Unbound certainly isn’t.
Based upon Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s 2008 story arc, Superman: Brainiac, Unbound features Brainiac, a super-powerful, hyper intelligent green alien with tubes sticking out of his head who collects cities from around the universe and stores them in jars, who turns his attention to Earth with the intention of miniaturising Metropolis to join his collection of bottled cities and blow up Earth. Superman to the rescue!
This is Superman’s first encounter with Brainiac though his cousin, Kara/Supergirl, has faced him before. Decades earlier Brainiac stole the Kryptonian city Kandor, shrinking it into one of his jars, »

Superman Month - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)

To celebrate the release of Man of Steel this month, the Flickering Myth writing team are looking back over Superman's previous screen adventures; next up is Anthony Stokes with a review of 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace...
After the disappointing box office returns of Superman III and the spin-off Supergirl, nobody was in a rush to make another Superman movie. The rights were sold to the infamous Cannon Films, who approached a reluctant Christopher Reeve to return to the character. Reeve was given a deal which included creative control over the story, an option to direct a fifth Superman movie if the fourth was successful, and the chance to produce another movie of his choosing.
The end result was what many could consider a train wreck. Cannon Films reportedly took money from investors and spread it across multiple projects leaving Superman IV with a significantly smaller budget then proposed. »

5 Most Transformative Creative Runs In Comic Book History
4 June 2013 1:04 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Anyone who read the oversized Green Lantern #20 last month saw something exceedingly rare in comics: an issue with at least several pages devoted to bidding a fond farewell to the creator who took a comic book with modest a following at best, and turned it into one of the industry’s most popular. While the Batmans, Supermans and Spider-Mans of the world have never lost any significant level of name recognition no matter who’s driving their respective books, Gl #20 reminds us of how crucially important certain creators are to any given character’s popularity.
The following is a list of the top 5 creators who may not have necessarily written anything that altered the medium itself a la Watchmen, but managed something just as impressive on a smaller scale: taking “second-stringers” and making them and their respective titles bigger than anyone could have ever imagined.

One of the most recently-announced (and most intriguing) projects intended to celebrate the anniversary is a short animated film to be produced by Snyder himself.
