Ben Affleck is Batman!?

The big news of the last 24-hours is the casting of Ben Affleck as Batman in DC’s proposed 2015 Batman vs. Superman film. Let’s just say fan reaction has been mixed (see more inside). Affleck previously stared in Marvel’s much-maligned Daredevil (which I will still defend, especially to those who argue Hulk is a good comic book movie), and by taking the role he also becomes the first actor I can think of to play both Batman and Superman (Hollywoodland). My biggest concern is with DC and Warner Bros. choosing a 41 year-old actor to help start an action franchise. But, hey, there’s every chance we may see Matt Damon as Robin, right? Maybe not.

Superman - Speed Demons

With a new Superman in now in theaters every now and then I’ll continue to take a look back at the hero’s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen. Who’s faster, Superman (Tim Daly) or the Flash (Charlie Schlatter)? That’s a question DC Comics has teased its readers with several times over the years without ever really coming to a definitive answer. “Speed Demons” capitalizes on the Silver Age concept of a public race between the heroes and the inevitable attacks of a super-villain that leave us without a true winner.

With a new Superman in now in theaters every now and then I’ll continue to take a look back at the hero’s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen. Over the decades of Superman‘s (Tim Daly) life there have been two great loves for Clark Kent: Lois Lane (Dana Delany) and Lana Lang (Joely Fisher). “My Girl” introduces the girl from Smallville as a chic new clothing designer who hits Metropolis on the arms of Lex Luthor (Clancy Brown) and whose safety Superman worries about constantly over the course of the episode, especially when she decides to help Superman (whose secret-identity she knows) take down Lex for his involvement in an arms shipment.

Lois & Clark - The Man of Steel Bars

With a new Superman in now in theaters every now and then I’ll continue to take a look back at the hero’s more memorable moments on both the big and small screen. What if Superman (Dean Cain) was the cause of Global Warming? “The Man of Steel Bars” presents an interesting dilemma when the city of Metropolis is hit with a record November heat wave while those in surrounding cities are plowing snow and fighting frostbite. What sets Metropolis apart? Only the daily super-feats performed by the Man of Steel.
