686 Selective Sequel
You will believe a man can fly… a seaplane! We take on the curious 2006 film “Superman Returns,” which is a sequel (sort of) to “Superman” and “Superman II” but most definitely not other movies. There’s a new cast and a new boyfriend for Lois, but Lex Luthor’s still obsessed with real estate. Also, this may be the last movie to feature a fax being sent from a yacht as a key plot point.

41 Superman Returns
Twenty-eight years after Christopher Reeve defined the role, Legends of Tomorrow’s Brandon Routh suited up as the Man of Steel for this pseudo-sequel, Superman Returns. We discuss Routh’s great performance, Superman vs. physics, and why this movie is perfect for the times we’re in now. Up, up, and away!
Elsewhere in the episode, we cover a premiere date for Agents of SHIELD and a new director for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness in our Superhero Sweep, as well as answering your letters.
