With last week’s release of Fantastic Four: First Steps, the summer movie season has pretty much come to a close. There are still some potentially fun movies coming out over the next month, but they aren’t quite “tent pole” movies like those we’ve seen these last couple of months.
A few fun Superman bits.
First: James Gunn recently released full images of the characters present in the “Hall of Justice” mural found in the headquarters of the “Justice Gang.” It’s an interesting look at one version of the history of the DC universe. We know from the movie’s opening shot that metahumans have been around for three hundred years. Lots of interesting choices in the mural: lots of deep cuts that fans have been deciphering since Gunn released the images. Fun seeing Max Mercury in the mix, as he was a key part of Mark Waid’s Flash run back in the day.
Second: Only a handful of clips of the movie have been released outside the theater. Here’s one moment from the “kaiju” scene in the movie. Short, yes, but still a nice moment for the character.
And here’s one more clip from the New York Times, this time with director James Gunn talking through some of the dynamics between a fun-yet-fraught conversation between Lois and Clark.
