We all begin as one version of ourself
but as we grow life changes us every moment shaping our character shifting our priorities
stretching every fiber of our being until we think we've lost ourselves to the stress of it all
but that's not true because under the torn fibers is a stronger person forged like
steel with the courage to fight for those we love and what we thought was lost can be found
in family.
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new superman trailer video
they just released this new footage obviously they're hyping up a bunch of multiverse stuff here
so i'll explain what's going on because it's actually a big deep cut for infinite crisis
for those of you that read that comic book story line
because henry cavill has also been talking about coming
back as superman and it seems like he's going to be cameoing in a couple big dc movies really soon
i'll also explain some of the news about man of steel 2 and the future of superman in the movies
if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos but obviously the big thing
here this new superman trailer is premiering at the end of february alongside the flash so it'll
be the superman and flash on tuesdays for the cw but it's all about the multiverse and introducing
the new version of his family that they sort of rebooted a little bit with crisis on infinite
earths he says we all begin as one version of ourselves that's a reference to all the
other superman actors like christopher reeve henry cavill brandon ralph tom welling everyone there's
been many different versions of superman you see the ken farm in the background they're using the
same kent farm from the smallville tv show so obviously the series is sort of a successor to
smallville there'll be a lot of smallville energy in this series and i wouldn't be surprised if a
bunch of smallville actors cameo on the show either in their old roles or as new characters
yes of course tom welling could always cameo in the future if he wants to i think that they would
have him anytime he wanted to come on but if you remember christopher reeve former superman also
cameoed on smallville back in the day so there's a long history of old superman actors
cameoing on the new superman tv shows why me there must be a reason why i was sent to this planet
you won't find the answers by looking to the stars it's a journey you'll have
to take by looking inside yourself you must write your own destiny call
i know there's a lot of questions about what's happening with brandon rouse version of superman
because his superman is canonically the same version as the christopher reeve superman just
a little further forward in the timeline there's also the chance of him coming back too because
he's no longer on legends of tomorrow the old man with the glasses that you see in the background
here seems like their version of jonathan ken just as he gets older but they introduced their
new twin sons formerly baby john kent that you saw last before crisis on infinite earth started in
the other new sun his name is jordan kent so you have a version of comic book john kent superboy
but you also have the second son now the the twin boys the other one's jordan kent then he talks
about growing up and changing and being stressed fiber stretching breaking bonds breaking and
they transition to what you might think of as the crystalline fortress of solitude imagery with this
golden strand but the scene of superman trying to use this golden rope to bring together all these
different crystal facets holding the members of his family is actually a deep cut reference for
earth 2 superman from infinite crisis that was the second big crisis event after a crisis on infinite
earths back in the 80s infinite crisis happened in the early 2000s if you don't remember that
storyline it was found out that the og golden age version of superman from earth 2 superboy prime
in alexander luther another alternate version of lex luthor from another earth and a couple
other people like power girl had been trapped in this sort of alternate bubble of continuity this
paradise dimension outside of the main reality to protect them from the effects of crisis on
infinite earths because during that event in the 80s their worlds had been destroyed golden age
superman's lois is slowly dying and they feel like bringing back their version of earth will heal her
so alexander luther who was a hero during crisis on infinite earth kind of turns into the villain
and hatches a plan to bring back their earth and replace the current dc version of earth
with theirs superboy prime went on from this event to become one of the biggest villains in dc comics
they don't use him that much nowadays but every once in a while he pops up he's like the biggest
in dc comics but during that event you also see golden age superman literally punching his way
out of this crystalline dimension so it looks just like this imagery here then superman goes
into this big speech about being stronger inside despite the fact he might be broken i think while
he's doing this he's pulling together the fastest of his family it's because they're trying to hype
up their twin superboy sons so much it's all about a lead-in for potentially this younger son
getting a little twisted up some of this imagery also makes him look a little bit crazy
and the older john kent kind of seems like he's coming across as the more legit heir to the cape
and crest in early theory the younger son jordan kent breaks bad a little bit because why would
you do twin super boys if one of them wasn't going to break bad like you have super boy but then you
also have superboy prime they haven't completely fully explained the scope of the show we just know
that they're going to be trading heavily on crisis on infinite earth's tropes so what happened is is
that before crisis they had this baby that they'd been hyping up like they'd had baby john kent
from the comics it seemed pretty straightforward like okay eventually he'll grow up he'll become
superboy someday but because he was a baby right before crisis and then right after crisis oliver
queen as the spectre reboots the multiverse even though for some reason a lot of the characters
don't know that there's a multiverse anymore i'll address that in a second too because that
was a big question mark as a result of the changes in this new earth prime with them combining the
earth's from a couple different places so that all the supergirl characters wind up on the same earth
as all the flash characters and the rest of the arrowverse so that it all kind of makes sense that
they've all been interacting with each other this whole time but while that was happening they also
used it to sort of tune things for the tv show the people that are working on the actual superman
show wanted to write it a little bit older so they just used that as an opportunity to age
up and add an extra sun so they're both supposed to be in high school when this show is happening
so you have to remember when smallville started how clark was basically a freshman in high school
you have to imagine them going through a lot of the same paces albeit sped
up as the original smallville superman like learning to use their powers for the first time
what do you do when you want to play football but you're not allowed to use your powers
all the adventures in the comedy that comes with that all beat with a much more sophisticated twist
on the multiverse the whole thing with henry cavill superman in the movies though is that
right now it seems like he is negotiating to cameo in a couple of upcoming movies i would
say the strongest possibility would be for him to show up in the black adam movie because the rock
was literally hyping up fighting superman in his trailer they released at dc fandom
you know i always thought that it might be cool to hang out with superman that would be
cool right i mean we're kind of similar in terms of our powers our strengths our speeds because
look at the end of the day you never know black adam and superman could become friends
or they won't who knows maybe we'll see i don't know what that is if that's not him hyping up
superman versus black adam but zachary levi has been talking about getting him in the shazam
movie along with wonder woman they even put him in that post-credit scene from the first shazam movie
and obviously we're going to be seeing black suit superman a very different version of
superman that we saw in the theatrical cut of justice league in the snyder cut in march all
the justice league snyder cut episodes are going to start dropping at the end of march then if
you've been hearing rumors about jj abrams in this new superman man of steel 2 movie it does
sound like he's actually reaching out to other people to develop some sort of superman project
patty jenkins also said that she would love to direct a superman movie but she's already
booked solid so i don't think there's any chance that she would do the next superman movie she's
already doing wonder woman 3 she's already booked for that star wars rogue squadron movie so whoever
does the next man of steel movie with henry cavill is probably going to be somebody totally different
and just because there are rumors about jj abrams reaching out to other writers about
writing the next superman movie that doesn't mean that he'll wind up directing it himself
but you will remember a long time ago there was his superman flyby movie i'm not a big fan of
that script it's online you can actually go out and read it if you want to but there was a time
when he tried to get a version of a superman movie made but if you're bummed out that there is no man
of steel two right now it does sound like they do have plans to do another superman movie it's just
gong to take a couple years for them to get it together dc is taking the new multiverse approach
with its movies as well so they're kind of doing the tv show thing where everybody can exist all at
the same time it's just all happening in different realities that's how you get to all the different
versions of batman like we have robert pattinson in the batman movie with matt reeves we have the
michael keaton batman from his tim burton movies coming back in the flash movie and we have the ben
affleck batman also coming to the flash flashpoint movie it is going to be batman into the bat first
in the next couple of years it's a really good time to be a batman fan and really good time
to be a superman fan there's a bunch of videos that i'm working on right now i'll try to get
them out as fast as possible but everyone click here for my wonder woman 1984 post credit scene
video in easter eggs and click here for my brand new mandalorian season 3 luke skywalker video
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe i'll see you guys tonight!
