Superman Sunday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Originally airing on Halloween 1952, “The Birthday Letter” involves a coincidence of young Kathy (Isa Ashdown) who accidentally overhears a crucial piece of information involving a counterfeit plot and also writes to The Daily Planet that her most fervent wish is for Superman to take her to the fair (as apparently Kathy’s leg brace is too much of an impediment for her mother to do so).

Superman: Red and Blue 2025 Special

Following a similar set up to the number of black and white comics released as mini-series anthologies in recent years, the Superman: Red and Blue 2025 Special offers a list of four anthology stories featuring Superman, but instead of highlighting him in black and white (although both colors are also used) we get the hero highlighted in his traditional colors of red and blue.

It may not be great, but James Gunn‘s first outing with the Man of Steel certainly outshines any recent depictions of the character. Not shying away from the immigrant story of an alien adopted by human parents making Earth his home, 2025’s Superman does what David Goyer and Zack Snyder struggled so mightily with every step of the DCEU – it finds the heart of the character who, despite being alien, is human in all the right ways.

Superman captures some of the feel of Richard Donner‘s original while also adding enough of its own touches (including teasing us with variations to John Williams‘ original theme) to make it stand out more than Superman Returns. It’s a bit too zany in places for me, and a bit too obvious in nods to current events, but when Superman stays focused on its titular character there’s an awful lot to like here.

Justice League Unlimited #8

/ / Comics

With the world in peril and Gorilla Grodd, now enhanced with Darkseid’s Omega Energy, and his Legion of Doom near victory, Air Wave recruits heroes from across time and space to help stop the villain offering an enjoyable end to the arc (although there will apparently be plenty of aftermath to clean up in the issues to come). This leads to an overload of heroes hitting the Watchtower leading to some fun comic panels.
