Superman: Man of Steel (2013) Early thoughts

"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone's imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question - Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as "Superman," not only to shine as the world's last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves."

After seeing the new up to date version of Superman, I can officially say that I am impressed the new look. Ever since it was announced that then new Superman titled 'Man of Steel', many people including myself  had many doubts on how the end result would turn out. But as the constant develepments on the film are slowly being revealed, the more I am willing to give the film a chance. After the dissapointment that was 'Superman Returns', it was almost as if the series had been killed. But now it looks like there is hope in the form of a re-telling of Superman.

The casting of characters for one is winning me over. Fair enough, Henry Cavill, the lead of Superman is relatively unknown but the supporting cast reads off an impressive list of talent. Laurence Fishbourne as Perry White, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Russell Crowe rumored to be play Jor-El, and Michael Shannon, taking on the role of Zod all characters, adds to the appeal the forthcoming film.

Embarrassingly, I only recently discovered that Zack Snyder directed the very impressive superhero film, Watchmen, but if Snyder produces a film as good as that then Man of Steel shouldn't dissapoint in 2012. Add Cristopher Nolan, the man responsible for ressurecting and reconstructing the Batman universe,  to the directing scene and you are almost guaranteed a success.

Since the early 40's, Superman has been portrayed by a list of actors but Christopher Reeves' Superman is arguably the most recogniseable and iconic interpretation. The closest any other interpretation comes in the form of Tom Welling playing a younger Clark Kent in Smallville, and quite possibly Dean Cain in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman not far behind. But with the direction Man of Steel seems to be heading in, this Superman will be another defining characterisation that will bring about great success and rejuvinate the franchise.

Check out my previous blog on my opinions of Michael Shannon cast as Zod here.

Actors portraying Superman through the years

Kryptonian Green Lantern

So, me and a friend have always wondered if  Superman's home planet of Krypton ever had someone of that race as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. So I started looking into it and thought, why don't I write all of it down for myself and anyone else who's ever wondered. Sort of like a research paper.


The Green Lantern Corps.

"The Green Lantern Corps are an inter-galactic police force dedicated to protecting sentient life in every form, established thousands of years ago by the Guardians. Officers are chosen for their ability to overcome great fear and given a power ring fueled by the strength of their willpower, the mightiest weapon in the universe. They have two representatives for all of the 3600 sectors in the known universe, their headquarters located centrally on the planet Oa.

The Corps is an organization of 7200 Green Lanterns who are chosen by the ring for being able to overcome great fear, with two assigned to sectors of space that require the protection of more than one Green Lantern.

Upon recruitment each Green Lantern in the original Corps received a Power Ring, a Power Battery shaped like a lantern (with which the ring is recharged), and a uniform."

In a nutshell, the Green Lanterns are representatives from all the known galaxies and planets, but what I've been trying to find is whether or not there has been a Green Lantern from Superman/Kal-El's home planet of Krypton. Or if

While there hasn't actually been a legitimate Kryptonian Green Lantern, In DC history there has been a single descendant of Kryptonians, and in an alternated, hallucinatory reality Kal-El have both been Green Lanterns.



Kal-El: Green Lantern
Firstly with the man of steel himself, and his story as a lantern.

In an alternate hallucinatory world, the planet of Krypton never exploded and the ring that found Hal Jordan didn't travel to Earth, but instead found Kal-El and became a Lantern. As a result he became the Lantern responsible for both Earth and Krypton. Unfortunately, this was only an illusion that was set up by Justice League villains to defeat the group. Check out this issue description: http://www.emeralddawn.com/book/kal-el.htm



Daxamites: Kryptonian Descendants

Daxamites are simply Kryptonians who left their home of Krypton and travelled to other galaxies and planets. Just like Superman, when a Kryptonian travels from their home, they develop powers including invulnerability, strength, flight and every other power Superman has been known to possess.

In old comics, a prophecy was told that a Daxamite would one day become an unstoppable Green Lantern that would bring about the end of the Green Lantern Corps.




Sodam Yat: Kryptonian descendant and Green Lantern

In modern comics, he is a Green Lantern who fights for good and holds a superior position as an entity known as Ion. But in the older comic book tellings, Sodam was a more sinister and evil character.

A Daxamite by birth, he was the only person with any form of Kryptonian in him. As previously mentioned, a prophecy stated that a Daxamite would be a Lantern at that person turned out to be Sodam Yat. This is because he would already possess powers just like Superman, and to possess the Ring would make him an even more powerful enemy and is even dubbed 'The Ultimate Green Lantern'.




Tomar-Re: Sector 2813 and Krypton Chargee

Seeing as there was no official Kryptonian Green Lantern, there was a lantern assigned to be responsible for the planet Krypton. And after researching the character, I found out that he tried to stop the planet from its destruction. He was in charge of 'Sector 2813' which the planet was part of, and was on the way to the planet with a rare compound that could have stopped it from blowing up. Unfortunately, he a start exploded and caused to lose his vision and the Stellarium. He did regain his vision and the metal, but arrived just in time to witness Krypton explode.
