| December 25, 2009: Superman on TV - December 26, 2009 to January 1, 2010 |
By Barry Freiman
01/01/10 – it sounds more like the name of a spy than a date. Can the second decade of the “Newmanium” really be upon us? This was the future I dreamed about? Where the heck are the flying cars? The Jetsons promised me flying cars.
Wow, is the CW proud of the episode “Echo” from this season of “Smallville”. It’s seeing its now second repeat in a two hour block of reruns on the CW on NYD at 8 PM along with “Metallo”. Earlier seasons air in high-def on HD-Net.
Brandon Routh is the Man of Steel in 2006’s “Superman Returns” airing on FX Saturday at 2 PM and Sunday at 9 AM. I hope it’s not that horrid cut of the film they’ve shown previously where they have the audacity to cut the heck out of the airplane sequence and the elevator change!
Saturday on FUEL, catch a rerun of the “Supergirl Jam” extreme sports competition replete with pink “S” emblems everywhere at 3 PM.
“Superman: The Animated Series” rerun “Obsession” airs Monday at 2 AM on DXD.
“Extreme Towns” visits the non-fictional Metropolis, Illinois on Sunday at 10 AM on the Travel Channel.
Dean Cain, the official super-king of Christmas and star of “L&C” (and guest star on “Smallville”), stars in “The Three Gifts” Saturday at 2 PM on Hallmark; “Midway” Sunday at 7 AM on UHD; “Ace of Hearts” Tuesday at 6:45 AM on Showtime 2; and “Out of Time” Wednesday at 10:05 PM on HD-Net Movies. Cain also hosts “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!” all week on Chiller.

| December 24, 2009: "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali" Reprint Confirmed |
Back in late October, Neal Adams indicated that a possible reprint edition of the 1978 never-reprinted "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali Special Edition" was forthcoming. DC Comics have now confirmed that that is indeed the case...
The historic one-shot featured the Man of Steel teaming up with The Greatest Boxer of All Time to stave off an alien invasion of Earth.
Why are we getting all nostalgic about this comic? Well, if the trip down memory lane isn't enough for you, here's some news: DC will be reprinting the story - co-plotted and written by Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams with art from Adams - in two formats: The first is a deluxe hardcover edition featuring an expanded sketch section and additional content with a new cover by Adams. For all those fans of the book in its tabloid form there is also a limited edition hardcover in the original trim-size with the complete, original cover of the landmark issue. Both collections will hit in the fall of 2010.
Read the complete announcement at DC's "The Source".

| December 24, 2009: Dan Lin Talks Justice League Movie |
Collider.com caught up with movie producer Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes) and asked him, amongst other things, about the possibility of a live-action Justice League movie.
When I asked about Justice League, Lin confirmed what we all knew: its on-hold right now. He also said "it seems like they're (Warner Bros.) building to Justice League instead of going with the team movie first and doing individual movies after that."
He also confirmed what I'd been hearing about WB's plans for their DC superhero movies and that's "they're unveiling their DC strategy in January". Meaning, we're probably going to hear what other DC characters are getting movies very soon!
You can see the video interview at Collider.com.
Thanks to Eli Gutierrez for the lead on this news.

| December 24, 2009: Supergirl Movie Rumor Swiftly Shot Down |
Mania.com has debunked the rumor that Taylor Swift was in line to play Supergirl in a new movie.
Although the story rang absurd enough to really need no debunking, we asked a source at DC Entertainment if there was any truth to the Swift talk.
"None," our source said of the report. "Pretty funny though, but no truth whatsoever. I'd love to know who the 'hollywood insider' is because that's as clueless a thing as I've heard all year."
No great surprise there...

| December 24, 2009: From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast |
Welcome to the 32nd episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.
Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.
This week Mike and Jeff have a holiday treat for you! A couple of weeks ago the boys "sat down" with writer/artist Jerry Ordway to chat about his work on Superman. In this first part (Yes, there are two parts, folks. Jerry was very generous with his time) Jerry talks about how he became a fan of Superman, how coloring books led to him breaking into the business, how he was tapped to pencil Adventures of Superman and the very candid behind the scenes stories of how Bibbo, Cat Grant, Jose Delgado and Emil Hamilton were created. Jeff and Mike had a lot of fun with this interview and would like to thank Jerry for taking the time to talk to two Superman fans.
And just think; there's another hour to come next week!
You can subscribe to the show in two ways. First there is the RSS Feed and there is also the iTunes link. You can also download the episode directly.
If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, leave comments here or email them at fromcrisistocrisis@gmail.com. All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome.

| December 24, 2009: Lost Sunsoft NES Superman Game? |
Siliconera.com claim to have discovered an image from a never-produced Superman game for the NES by Sunsoft.
Yes, we know about Sunman. In addition to the suspiciously similar "original" character, there may be more evidence Sunsoft was developing an unreleased Superman game for the NES.
The Lost Levels came across Famicom Disk System images with prototype Sunsoft games and development tools. Dig through the data disks and you'll find sprites of a character that looks remarkably similar to Superman.
You may not know that the Superman Homepage has a page on Superman arcade and video games.
Thanks to Scott Getz for the lead on this info.
