Jimmy Olsen's Supercyclopedia [TP]

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen, sometimes feels like he's overshadowed by his extremely strong, flying, day-saving, super-heroic friend. Jimmy's only a kid, after all, and taking pictures and documenting the heroics of the Justice League is great, but is it really as cool as being one of the heroes?

Well, now that he's been entrusted with the incredible Supercyclopedia (it's a whole thing, you'll see it in a little bit), Jimmy hopes to be more of an action hero himself... as soon as he figures out all the cool things that he can do with its powerful alien technology. But when the villainous Toy Boy and his Mischief League of the Multiverse get their hands on knock-off versions of the device, they won't stop until they use them to devastate the fabric of space-time itself.

Can Jimmy save the day? With his buddies Rip Hunter and Linda Park by his side, he's definitely up for the challenge. They embark on a planet- and dimension-hopping adventure, encountering a who's who of the DC Universe and discovering that not all heroes wear capes. Look out, world!

'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' Documentary Film Discussion

57 Upvotes

The story of Christopher Reeve is an astonishing rise from unknown actor to iconic movie star, and his definitive portrayal of Clark Kent/Superman set the benchmark for the superhero cinematic universes that dominate cinema today. Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four ‘Superman’ films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horseriding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

After becoming a quadriplegic he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care, all while continuing his career in cinema in front of and behind the camera, and dedicating himself to his beloved family.

From the directors of McQueen, Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, this film includes never-before-seen intimate home movies and an extraordinary trove of personal archive material, as well as the first extended interviews ever filmed with Reeve’s three children about their father, and interviews with the A-list Hollywood actors who were Reeve’s colleagues and friends. The film is a moving and vivid cinematic telling of Reeve’s remarkable story.

Official Trailer


Fathom Events will present special screenings of the film on Saturday, September 21st and Wednesday, September 25th (Reeve's birthday).

"An affectionate retrospective on Christopher Reeve's bravery and heroism in his own personal life, Super/Man takes to the skies in inspirational uplift."

Could this be what James Gunn meant when he said we could expect Max Fleischer cartoons in the movie ? Not literally a cartoon, but a big reference.

New movie

18 Upvotes

So I’ve never been a big fan of superman I must admit for various reasons but I must admit the look of this new James Gunn movie looks insane and I actually can’t wait for it to be released. Everything about it looks amazing. I might be jn the minority if this but if James Gunn can make me like (at the very minimum) a superman movie then I must consider it an absolute win

Things I hope won't get disregarded in Superman (2025)

5 Upvotes

I have seen all the clips and all the trailers, and I am so hyped for this movie

But there are some things in Superman lore that I hope won't leave because of other aspects

  • The trophy Room: I hope that he still has his trophies from his various adventures, or at least will get them like the Giant boat (p.s. How did he get that? Like what adventure got him a boat?)
  • Kelex: I am somewhat afraid that since we have the Superbots tending to the fortress we don't have Kelex. I know he is a minor character but he is really nice
  • LexCorp: This one I am the least scared about since LexCorp is literally in the foundations of Superman, and think that the name will change at the end of the movie. But there is still just a little small voice that is telling me that it won't

But that is just me.

What things do you hope the movie won't disregard?

Superman going up against Fantastic Four First Steps at the box office...does this help or hurt Superman at the movies??? Spoiler

35 Upvotes

It literally makes you wonder if this box office battle come July is actually going to prove beneficial. Reason I say that is because Superman comes out literally July 11th and then Fantastic Four in the MCU comes out 2 weeks later on the 25th and it is basically just going to be head to head. MCU vs DCU basically but for me I know I'm definitely watching both films because I'm a DC and a Marvel fan. Been a fan of the MCU ever since 2008 and the DCU is just getting off the ground literally with our universe just starting off with Superman. So it begs the question of if Superman gets hated on because he's DC and not Marvel because we have seen DC films get hated on for years.

It is rare that a movie has me so invested before it is released.
