Well, I guess I have to apologize that this Superman figure was sidestepped for the past two entries in favor of the newer releases, the Mattel Injustice Superman and the Mattel Movie Masters "Man of Steel" Superman. But since both of those figures had no bearing to Superman's comic book continuity, let me get back to my regular programming by reviewing the Mattel DCUC 90s Superman.

Since Superman's return from death, Superman's editorial team decided to give Superman a new look by giving him longer hair. I don't know the reasoning behind this, but when Superman was put on the regeneration chamber during his death, his time spent there made his hair grow. Since then, Superman never bothered to cut those locks and just leave them be. The longer hair was so 80s (see McGyver), but maybe the writers thought that by giving Superman the mullet hair, he would channel the look of the classic strong men of yesteryear like Conan, Tarzan, and Samson. But whatever real reasons the editorial team had, the longer haired Superman still had a good three year run of stories. In fact he was essentially a part of the relaunched Justice League comic book which was written by Grant Morrison. In his own books, the 90s writing team of Jurgens, Stern, Simonson, Karl Kesel, and David Michelinie featured action packed stories that further rooted the post-crisis Superman's mythology.

In fact, he was even given a new comic book series titled Superman: Man of Tomorrow. Stories such as "Bizarro's World", "Battle for Metropolis", "Fall of Metropolis", "Dead Again", "Death of Clark Kent", "Trial of Superman", among others continued and concluded the plot threads that were planted before Superman's death. With one underlying plot thread, Superman and Lois' relationship, going from strong, to near break up, reconciliation, and the eventual marriage. We would last see Superman's long hair when he and Lois finally decided to walk down the aisle. Maybe he thought that he need to have a cleaner look on his wedding day. Thus, the mullet hair had to go and went back for the classic hair style that he is popularly known for.

While chatting to Empire, "Man of Steel" director Zack Snyder speaks at length about the decision to have Superman kill General Zod in order to save a family of innocents. He reveals that in the original version of the script the character was simply once again banished to the Phantom Zone, but Snyder was adamant that Kal-El should kill Zod - because otherwise where does his aversion to killing originate from? He also shares details of another action scene on Kryton that didn't make the final cut, in which one of Jor El's AIs takes humanoid form and battles Zod's pack of genetically engineered dogs! It's all great stuff so be sure to take a listen from the time Snyder comes in around the 50 minute mark, and then David S. Goyer chimes in too, revealing that Chris Nolan was against Zod's death at the hands of Superman at first. Plus, he once again speaks about WB's plans for a shared DC movie universe.
