This Superman is in a world that has superhero’s in it already. This movie is pulled from multiple comics. You r almost better reading up vs watching. Watch screen crush’s break down to get comics to look up. You don’t have to actually read the comics just google the names and read about the characters
Then watch Superman II with Christopher Reeve. I would follow up with Superman Returns with Brandon Routh, and finally Man of Steel, with Henry Cavill. This will give you a well-rounded look at the way that people have approached the Superman story as well as his origins.
@JohnnyPappas I couldn't agree more. I'd even recommend watching some of the animated Superman films. Within seven months there's plenty of Superman content she can react to
David Corenswet, the new Superman Actor, was the one who convince James Gunn to add the trunks back because he believe Superman despite being an OP alien he wants to not be scary looking for the people or even children and the trunks will make him look goofy but at the same time a friendly superhero. Because of that, it sold me. This is the start of DCU so they added the other heroes but won't be much in screentime but just to introduce them but won't be pull the focus away to Superman.
The trunks have been there for over 80 years, not to look goofy but because the suit was supposed to be homemade by Ma Kent who made it like a circus strongman suit. She chose this because those were the best things to move around and be athletic in at the time. Within other retcons or soft reboots it was said that tight cloth next to Superman's body doesn't get as easily damaged. The trunks almost have to be there on a spandex suit for the same reason they were there for circus performers and athletes, because if they're not there, you can see the man's junk. I don't think Supes was going for that sort of look.
I recommend the early 2000’s show Smallville. The first 5 seasons were a dawsons creek meets Superman vibe and then the last 5 seasons amps up little by little, bringing in character and expanding it more into general DC stuff. It’d just be for the viewing enjoyment because honestly, this film would be the start, it’s a clean slate.
The change in tone coincides with the start of the MCU. Before then, they were all scared to commit to the comic book genre so they didn't allow him to be in the suit or fly, it had to be the teen drama formula. So the show is everything else about Clark and then the occassional epic glimpse of what he will become. Some trul;y beautiful moments and real genuine acting. James Gunn even agrees that, to date, Michael Rosenbaums Lex Luthor in the show was the best. Very good if you're into that early 2000's Gilmore Girls Supernatural era of television. Enjoy!
You start where most of us started! I was a kid in 1978 and my family went to see Superman with the one and only Christopher Reeve in the theater. He will always be the benchmark for any Superman character.
No homework required but as far as animated movies go All Star Superman is my favorite. About comics: My two favorites are “Superman smashes the Klan” and “Superman: Up in the Sky”
Honestly, the best places to start with Superman just to get some version of the basics are probably...any of these in no particular order: Superman: The Animated Series (if you want a really solid and consistent cartoon) Superman: Man of Tomorrow (if you want a modern animated superhero movie) Superman: The Movie (if you like classic movies) My Adventures With Superman (if you like...for lack of a better term, "American-produced anime") Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (if you like rom-coms and - said with fondness - cheesy '90s TV) Those all include some version of an origin story, but differ on vibes. Avoid Man of Steel. It's Superman as interpreted by people who hate Superman.
Judging only from this trailer, I would say you should just watch the original Christopher Reeve Superman movies. At least just the first one or two. The others are low key awful.
As far as homework, Superman and Superman II (starring Christopher Reeve), Superman Returns (starring Brandon Routh), and Man of Steel (starring Henry Cavill). If you have time, Superman and Lois is a very good show. It's an older Superman. He's the father of teenaged boys. Supergirl was ok the first few seasons, but in later seasons it leaned to far into social issues.
Completely agree with this, it should give someone enough of an idea of where Superman is currently in terms of media. Add some episodes of Superman: The Animated Series cartoon and its World's Finest movie, and selective episodes of Smallville. Of course, if one wants to get into the comics, there is the All-Star Superman series, I would add Superman: Secret Identity, Kingdom Come and also the Birthright series to the homework.
Literally started crying when I say Krytpo I love DC. But some of their live actions as of late aren't GREAT. I like The Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey (which is apparently a controversial opinion). But the animated DC movies are some of the best movies in comics
The Henry Cavill version of Superman will not give you any insight into the Superman that's being portrayed in this new movie this is a comic book Superman world he lives in a world where Heroes already exists the Zack Snyder universe and Superman are the opposite of everything that is Superman as far as light and hope and optimism I don't recommend watching those to get any insight about Superman watch Superman the movie with Christopher Reeve
I would definitely start with the original Richard Donner versions of Superman starring Christopher Reeve as Superman and that magical epic John Williams Superman theme. There have been some great actors portray Superman… but to me… Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. Great reaction by the way and can’t wait to see the new movie, 🙂
"Superman" (1978) is his first big screen outing. Obviously some of the effects etc. are "of their time" but it'll give you an idea of the character and Christopher Reeve _is_ Superman for many people (me included). Or "Superman and Lois" features the Superman (and Lois :) that first appeared on "Supergirl" so you may already be familiar with them - you could dip into the first few episodes to get a feel.
A few episodes of the 90s Superman animated TV series and the early 2000s Justice League animated tv series are a grest start. Also ,James Gunn used the comic All Star Superman as a reference for this.
Definitely start with Christopher Reeve Superman. Dean Cain Lois and Clark, Tom Welling Smallville. Also a fantastic portrayal is Tyler Koechlin Superman and Lois on Max that just had the season finale.
I am not a particularly big Superman fan, but the first main dc/marvel comic book I ever read was called the Death of Superman, followed by: a world without Superman and the return of Superman. It was a big deal when it came out in the 90’s because it was the first time that a superhero like Superman had a major blow and defeat in the comic books which was a big deal for it’s time . And a cool side note is that one of the illustrator that illustrated that comic book lives in my city and I got him to autograph my copy of the death of Superman
In my opinion, the best Superman media to get started with is My Adventures with Superman. It's animated, but it's very easy to watch and has a real good grasp of the character.
Krypto, also known as Krypto the Superdog, is a superhero dog appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the character Superman. In most continuities, Krypto is Superman's pet dog, usually depicted as a white dog of a generic pedigree.
smallville, christopher reeves superman, and lois and clark is the live action ones. As far as the animated ones go u basically can't go wrong, besides the injustice ones since it's "what if superman became a dictator" basically
Superman: For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. DC 1,000,000 (essentially a Superman story FEATURING the Justice League). Last Son by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Move (1978)
I still have a hard time accepting how the world has changed. The world we live in today has lost touch with the first comic & pop culturally based Superhero that started the genre. Superman. Almost every other superhero out there has influence based off foundational Superman.....Marvel included. Yes there were other hero legends before him (Hercules, green hornet ect..ect..) but Supes started the iconic pop genre of "Super"hero comics, TV, and eventually first cinematic movies. He was around long before marvel, and he supersedes even Batman by a few years. It is what it is. Anyway, Lipps. I always love your reactions. I would encourage you to start with the original Christopher Reeve Superman movies I & II (Donner's movies). Although Superman Returns in 2006 was kind of "Meh" to a lot of people. I like it. Routh was an excellent Superman who just didn't have a great script and story written movie to work with. Obviously, if you want modern visual display of Superman then for sure watch Henry Cavill & Snyder's DCEU movies. Superman's personality traits are a bit off in that universe, but Snyder's display of what Superpowered Kryptonian's can do in our fleshy cardboard like world....would be pretty realistic.
START WITH 1978 CHRIS REEVE, THEN BRANDON ROUTH. CAVILL'S VERSION IS NOT REALLY CLOSE TO THE ORIGINALS, EVEN THE COSTUME AND MUSIC. YOU CAN EVEN TELL HE'S SUPERMAN EVEN IF HE WEARS TRIPLE GLASSES, SO DISTINGUISHABLE. THIS CORENSWET GUY IS THE BEST VERSION SINCE REEVE! SO EXCITED! THE SCENE WHERE HE'S ASKING TO BE TAKEN HOME HITS HARD, SEEING MY HERO BEATEN UP BADLY. JULY 11 CAN"T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
If you want a reading list for superman that is also relevant for this iteration of the character, I believe James Gunn has told us his influences. Off the top of my head, two of the big ones are Kingdom Come and All-Star Superman
Start with "Superman: The Movie." It's origin story and time capsule. Since you liked "Supergirl," start with the first few episodes of "Superman and Lois" next. Where you go from there depends on your openness to / preference for different storytelling forms.
You may want to watch Christopher Reeve in "The Superman Movie." Doing so, you will see how it is not just the glasses but also the posture and vocal mannerisms that cause people to not realize that Superman and Clark Kent are the same person.
My opinion, Christopher Reeves Superman 1 and 2 is a great place to start. Explains his background pretty well and just overall great movies I’d also recommend Man of Steel. Is it the best Superman movie? Not really but it is enjoyable imo. Superman and Lois is a great show to watch as well.
I love d.c, enjoy Batman but loving Nightwing. Love how they are treating him in the new d.c comics. The leader of the justice league. Mainly his fan base is all female because he is super attractive but happy he is getting the respect he deserves. Not a huge super man but smallvile is considered the best superhero tv series of all time. Have high hopes for this film. Will watch it no matter what and hope everyone gives it a chance
I'm sure this has been said 50 times in the first 132 comments but- WATCH Superman, 1978 with Christopher Reeve. There are tons of iterations worthy of review, but THAT is the quintessential Big Screen Superman. Period.
Where to start. Start at the beginning with Superman The Movie from '77. The recent Lois and Clark show that just concluded is good. If you like animated films I'd suggest Superman: Man of Tomorrow.
The Comics...always the best...because that's the true medium for these characters. Classic reprints from the Silver Age and anything by writers Mark Waid and Grant Morrison (obvious influences on this film) would be my recommendations 😊
My Adventures with Superman is a great and easy to watch introduction to Clark Kent and his world! The cartoon Justice League/Justice League Unlimited is also fantastic but has a much wider focus than just Superman.
Loved Supergirl as well! If you're looking for Superman comic ideas, Superman For All Season & All-Star Suoerman. All-Star has just been released in a compact size for about $10.
Honestly, I don't know the story of this movie, so I don't know what you should research. If the movie is about Superman's origins, it would be spoilery to read up on his origins. If they are basing the movie on an existing comic or story, it would be spoilery to read up on it. I recommend you do not research it. Just experience the movie fresh.
the superman and the batman both have dogs, respectively *krypto the super dog* and ace the bat hound typically ace doesn't have super powers like krypto but they have their own legion of super pets brand with some other animal superheroes. in the *Young Justice* animated series krypto is *superboy's* doggo friend. Young justice is one of the best DC tv shows i highly recommend you to watch. cheers.
The story of Superman begins in the 1930s so starting anywhere is ok. There is too much Superman out there to grasp everything at once so just pick something up. My Superman started with the 1950s and 1960s TV shows. It then moved to the cartoons of the 1970s and 1980s. The comics especially Man Of Steel and Krypton and Superman Year One are good things to read. In the movies 1980s Superman movie is a must. Christopher Reeves is a Superman to an entire generation of people. The TV shows Lois and Clark, Superman and Lois, Smallville and the 1990s Superman animation and Justice League animation are good Superman resources. The Death of Superman is a must comic read. I would do any of that before watching any movie post 2005 just to get an idea of who or what Superman is in American comics/mythology. I do have to say there is just too much out there to start anywhere so you just go for it. Personally I am a fan of the old movie serials and of the George Reeves TV show before anything else. After that Christopher Reeves is my Superman and no one has come close since in the movies or TV. The comics are all over the place. At any one time in the last 50 years there are always 3 different comic runs of Superman at the same time so many stories to follow. Educationally if you really want to know where Superman comes from make sure you familiarize yourself with the Jewish story of Moses. Superman is a Moses analogue and the character was specifically created to battle the propaganda of the German Ubermensch of the 1930s.
the best homework to watch any of these characters is to watch justice league and then justice league unlimited. the cartoon .me and my girl are watching it now and loving it.
Christopher Reeves version of Superman would be a good place to start even though the series is much older. It’s about daymn time Krypto is finally shown. I’ve been waiting for this for decades basically since Christopher was Superman so 40 years or so!!
I don't think you'll have time to watch all the seasons of Smallville) That's why I recommend the 1978 Superman movie, the sequel is also available, as well as the Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill. Probably the last one is my favorite Superman movie. I hope you'll like it too. As for the animated series, of course, the 90s animated series about Superman. I also recommend the animated series "My Adventures with Superman". Quite interesting works, worthy of attention.
Watch the 4 Christopher Reeve movies, the Superman Animated Series, and a few key short comic book runs: All Star Superman, Superman for all Seasons, and Superman For the Man who has Everything
It'll be great to see Krypto in live action on the big screen. Some shows have played around the edges by giving Clark a dog that looked like Krypto or was even called Krypto, but the only time I can think they've previously gone 'full Krypto' is in the Netflix show Titans, featuring Robin, Superboy, Krypto, Wonder Girl and a bunch of other younger DC heroes. (Trailer: ua-cam.com/video/fW_SKiwOqGQ/v-deo.html)
I'm keen to pick up some comics, sounds like that's where a lot of fans think the best stories are atm. But I also have a lot of fun watching shows and movies so i'm up for anything
@@LippsReacts I would say pick up Superman Red&Blue, for comic book wise. Movie wise, I would say checkout Christopher Reeves Superman 1978, Superman Returns, and Superman all star. Show wise I'd say check out Lois and Clark. Besides Brandon Routh & Christopher Reeves Superman, I absolutely loved the guy who played Superman in the CW show. Also if you're interested in documentaries, they recently did a documentary film on Christopher Reeves and why he will always be known as our real life Superman. I can't wait for this movie, I think James Gunn really has something special for us
The only thing that really matter for this world, granted I don’t think you have to watch any of this stuff to enjoy the movie, but the only things that matter to this universe right now are Blue beetle (movie) The suicide squad (movie) (2021) Peacemaker (show) Creature commandos (show)
I would say plenty of people enjoyed Supergirl! A show doesn't last six seasons in this day and age without a lot of love. If you enjoyed that, you could try 'Superman and Lois' which features the same actors who played Superman and Lois on Supergirl.
You should watch a few seasons of Smallville. Watch the new animated show My Adventure with Superman. And watch Krypto, the superdog animated show. Can't believe you dont know who Krypto was 😢 Krypto is going to have a HUGE role in Supergirl movie 2026. Milly Alcock is playing Supergirl.
People really think Krypto is too silly for a Superman movie. A flying dog is too silly for a guy who defies the laws of physics? People are just hating to hate at this point. It's getting sad at this point. This film is going to be amazing I can't wait to see a proper Superman on the big screen again.
Watch the Christopher Reeves Superman (1978) and Superman II (the Donner cut if you can find it ) I’d then go with Smallville, the Superman Animated show from the 90s, the newer My Adventures with Superman animated series, and the excellent CW show Superman and Lois (all available on HBO Max) to really understand Superman before getting to Snyder’s Man of Steel which was a much more cynical, dour take on Superman. Man of steel is a decent movie, but it kind of misses the point and unfortunately, a ton of fans were introduced to Superman by that movie.
Superman:Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, Action Comics 775, Superman For all Seasons, All-Star Superman, Kingdom Come, Superman: Up in the Sky, a few more, but this is a good start.
The Justice League and Justice League United animated series might be helpful. We see characters like Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mr Terrific and Metamorpho in this trailer. If you really want to dig deep, Young Justice is fantastic. All the sidekicks (Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis) team up and do covert ops for Batman.
Supergirl was a great tv show. Which Batman films did you watch? I ask because Christopher Nolan's Batman films, while good, weren't really "DC Universe" movies, so to speak. They were in their own universe without overtly superpowered beings. Geeks might say they were "non-canon" with the actual DC Universe. So someone could like them a lot, like liking Zoro or Robin Hood, but not like any superhero films.
Hi Lipps, love your channel, thanks for it. If you want to watch movies watch the 1978 Superman movie. If you want to read comics read Superman: A Man for All Seasons first then Allstar Superman. James Gunn took a lot of inspiration from Allstar Superman for his movie. Those are good graphic novels to start with but there are lots of good Superman stories to read. I nearly forgot. Superman the animated series is good too.

I watched this after recording my reaction to The Green Mile for Patreon and my eyes are still swollen from crying
This Superman is in a world that has superhero’s in it already. This movie is pulled from multiple comics. You r almost better reading up vs watching. Watch screen crush’s break down to get comics to look up. You don’t have to actually read the comics just google the names and read about the characters

cw superman looks better
Supergirl
I am the son of superman
Krypto the Superdog has been around in the comics for almost 70 years.
he's a cutie!! I need to pick me up some Superman comics
Krypto is in the Superboy comics
And this answers the question "Who saves Superman?" His dog, Krypto, because he's a good boy!
The best boy!
🙄
He definitely earned himself a treat and a belly rub
he's the best boy!!!
The superest goodest of boys:)
Watch the 1978 Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, and Gene Hackman
1000% yes!
The best place to start with Superman is the Christoper Reeve Movies and then the others after
I've just actually sat down to watch the first Christopher reeves superman movie, made me remember why superman is my all time favourite superhero 👍
Robert Pattinson's Batman : " I am Vengeance "
David Corenswet's Superman : = I am Hope.
That’s pretty awesome, well done
If we could give awards on UA-cam comments, you would get one.
VIN DIESEL := I AM GROOT
this made me emotional, great comment
Start with Superman: The Movie (1978). It's technically the first ever superhero blockbuster film
Then watch Superman II with Christopher Reeve. I would follow up with Superman Returns with Brandon Routh, and finally Man of Steel, with Henry Cavill. This will give you a well-rounded look at the way that people have approached the Superman story as well as his origins.
@JohnnyPappas I couldn't agree more. I'd even recommend watching some of the animated Superman films. Within seven months there's plenty of Superman content she can react to
Kryptos gonna steal the whole damn movie, he stole the trailer and he was in two shots
Hi Lipps! I'd recommend starting with the first two Christopher Reeve Superman movies. I'd recommend the "Donner cut" when you get to Superman II.
David Corenswet, the new Superman Actor, was the one who convince James Gunn to add the trunks back because he believe Superman despite being an OP alien he wants to not be scary looking for the people or even children and the trunks will make him look goofy but at the same time a friendly superhero. Because of that, it sold me. This is the start of DCU so they added the other heroes but won't be much in screentime but just to introduce them but won't be pull the focus away to Superman.

Within other retcons or soft reboots it was said that tight cloth next to Superman's body doesn't get as easily damaged. The trunks almost have to be there on a spandex suit for the same reason they were there for circus performers and athletes, because if they're not there, you can see the man's junk. I don't think Supes was going for that sort of look.
The original 1978 Movie with Christopher Reeve would be good and maybe a few of the episodes with George Reeves from the 1950's TV show ?
Agreed on starting with Reeve!
If you're into reading it's Superman Birthright All-Star Superman and Superman For All Seasons all Inspirations for this movie
And all three are great!!
I recommend the early 2000’s show Smallville. The first 5 seasons were a dawsons creek meets Superman vibe and then the last 5 seasons amps up little by little, bringing in character and expanding it more into general DC stuff. It’d just be for the viewing enjoyment because honestly, this film would be the start, it’s a clean slate.
So many people have recommended this! It's definitely high on my list
The change in tone coincides with the start of the MCU. Before then, they were all scared to commit to the comic book genre so they didn't allow him to be in the suit or fly, it had to be the teen drama formula. So the show is everything else about Clark and then the occassional epic glimpse of what he will become. Some trul;y beautiful moments and real genuine acting.

You start where most of us started! I was a kid in 1978 and my family went to see Superman with the one and only Christopher Reeve in the theater. He will always be the benchmark for any Superman character.
Just watch the Christopher Reeves films before this new one and you'll be fixed up on the character.
No homework required but as far as animated movies go All Star Superman is my favorite.
About comics: My two favorites are “Superman smashes the Klan” and “Superman: Up in the Sky”
I'd look into reading All-Star Superman. It's considered a classic and James Gunn said it was a big inspiration for this movie.
Christopher Reeves Superman is such a great movie to begin with!
Honestly, the best places to start with Superman just to get some version of the basics are probably...any of these in no particular order:
Superman: The Animated Series (if you want a really solid and consistent cartoon)
Superman: Man of Tomorrow (if you want a modern animated superhero movie)
Superman: The Movie (if you like classic movies)
My Adventures With Superman (if you like...for lack of a better term, "American-produced anime")
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (if you like rom-coms and - said with fondness - cheesy '90s TV)
Those all include some version of an origin story, but differ on vibes.
Avoid Man of Steel. It's Superman as interpreted by people who hate Superman.
crypto finally appears🔥
Judging only from this trailer, I would say you should just watch the original Christopher Reeve Superman movies. At least just the first one or two. The others are low key awful.
As far as homework, Superman and Superman II (starring Christopher Reeve), Superman Returns (starring Brandon Routh), and Man of Steel (starring Henry Cavill).

NOOO she should avoid the snyder version like the plague, its batman in a superman suit.
I would watch all 4 Christopher Reeve movies and the Lois And Clark tv show
Literally started crying when I say Krytpo
I love DC. But some of their live actions as of late aren't GREAT. I like The Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey (which is apparently a controversial opinion). But the animated DC movies are some of the best movies in comics
noted, this comment on the live action movies seems to be a somewhat popular opinion. Hopefully this one delivers!!
The Henry Cavill version of Superman will not give you any insight into the Superman that's being portrayed in this new movie this is a comic book Superman world he lives in a world where Heroes already exists the Zack Snyder universe and Superman are the opposite of everything that is Superman as far as light and hope and optimism I don't recommend watching those to get any insight about Superman watch Superman the movie with Christopher Reeve
I would definitely start with the original Richard Donner versions of Superman starring Christopher Reeve as Superman and that magical epic John Williams Superman theme. There have been some great actors portray Superman… but to me… Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. Great reaction by the way and can’t wait to see the new movie, 🙂
Krypto is a super good dog.
SUPER good dog :)
Start with ALL STAR SUPERMAN by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. After that try UP, UP, AND AWAY by Kurt Busiek, Geoff Johns, and me.
Christopher Reeves Superman one and two are very good
"Superman" (1978) is his first big screen outing. Obviously some of the effects etc. are "of their time" but it'll give you an idea of the character and Christopher Reeve _is_ Superman for many people (me included).
Or "Superman and Lois" features the Superman (and Lois :) that first appeared on "Supergirl" so you may already be familiar with them - you could dip into the first few episodes to get a feel.
A few episodes of the 90s Superman animated TV series and the early 2000s Justice League animated tv series are a grest start. Also ,James Gunn used the comic All Star Superman as a reference for this.
This new film is the first film for James Gunn's DCU and also DCU began 2 weeks ago with the first 2 episodes of Creature Commandos.
I will always recommend All Star Superman, it's one of the best stories I've ever read on the use of power from a good person.
Definitely start with Christopher Reeve Superman. Dean Cain Lois and Clark, Tom Welling Smallville. Also a fantastic portrayal is Tyler Koechlin Superman and Lois on Max that just had the season finale.
I am not a particularly big Superman fan, but the first main dc/marvel comic book I ever read was called the Death of Superman, followed by: a world without Superman and the return of Superman. It was a big deal when it came out in the 90’s because it was the first time that a superhero like Superman had a major blow and defeat in the comic books which was a big deal for it’s time . And a cool side note is that one of the illustrator that illustrated that comic book lives in my city and I got him to autograph my copy of the death of Superman
Keep it natural, no homework - a good movie tells what you need without homework.
DC heroes are people you inspire to be and Marvel heroes are people you can relate to.
In my opinion, the best Superman media to get started with is My Adventures with Superman. It's animated, but it's very easy to watch and has a real good grasp of the character.
Krypto, also known as Krypto the Superdog, is a superhero dog appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the character Superman. In most continuities, Krypto is Superman's pet dog, usually depicted as a white dog of a generic pedigree.
smallville, christopher reeves superman, and lois and clark is the live action ones. As far as the animated ones go u basically can't go wrong, besides the injustice ones since it's "what if superman became a dictator" basically
Superman: For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. DC 1,000,000 (essentially a Superman story FEATURING the Justice League). Last Son by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Move (1978)
I still have a hard time accepting how the world has changed. The world we live in today has lost touch with the first comic & pop culturally based Superhero that started the genre. Superman. Almost every other superhero out there has influence based off foundational Superman.....Marvel included. Yes there were other hero legends before him (Hercules, green hornet ect..ect..) but Supes started the iconic pop genre of "Super"hero comics, TV, and eventually first cinematic movies.

Anyway, Lipps. I always love your reactions. I would encourage you to start with the original Christopher Reeve Superman movies I & II (Donner's movies). Although Superman Returns in 2006 was kind of "Meh" to a lot of people. I like it. Routh was an excellent Superman who just didn't have a great script and story written movie to work with.

Start with "Superman: The Movie." It's origin story and time capsule.
Since you liked "Supergirl," start with the first few episodes of "Superman and Lois" next.
Where you go from there depends on your openness to / preference for different storytelling forms.
I would recommend reading the graphic novels Superman: For All Seasons and All-Star Superman in preparation.
You may want to watch Christopher Reeve in "The Superman Movie." Doing so, you will see how it is not just the glasses but also the posture and vocal mannerisms that cause people to not realize that Superman and Clark Kent are the same person.
I think Gunn nailed the casting of Supes and Lois. That alone will get me to buy a ticket.
I agree, they seem like good picks for the movie! I look forward to seeing the final project
Your hair is gorgeous!😍
My opinion, Christopher Reeves Superman 1 and 2 is a great place to start. Explains his background pretty well and just overall great movies
I’d also recommend Man of Steel. Is it the best Superman movie? Not really but it is enjoyable imo.
Superman and Lois is a great show to watch as well.
All star superman kingdom come storyline
Not James Gunn's Superman. It's just Superman. James Gunn Isn't Zack Snyder to name a movie after him like Zack Snyder's Justice League. 😅
That’s krypto he has the same powers that Superman has. (Yes he can fly.)
I love d.c, enjoy Batman but loving Nightwing. Love how they are treating him in the new d.c comics. The leader of the justice league. Mainly his fan base is all female because he is super attractive but happy he is getting the respect he deserves.
Not a huge super man but smallvile is considered the best superhero tv series of all time. Have high hopes for this film. Will watch it no matter what and hope everyone gives it a chance
I'm sure this has been said 50 times in the first 132 comments but- WATCH Superman, 1978 with Christopher Reeve. There are tons of iterations worthy of review, but THAT is the quintessential Big Screen Superman. Period.
you should read All-Star Superman
Where to start. Start at the beginning with Superman The Movie from '77. The recent Lois and Clark show that just concluded is good. If you like animated films I'd suggest Superman: Man of Tomorrow.
Start with the Christopher Reeve films. Also, glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed Supergirl.
Birthright and Allstar are good comics to get a feel of this take and kingdom come too
The Comics...always the best...because that's the true medium for these characters.
Classic reprints from the Silver Age
and anything by writers Mark Waid and Grant Morrison (obvious influences on this film) would be my recommendations 😊
My Adventures with Superman is a great and easy to watch introduction to Clark Kent and his world! The cartoon Justice League/Justice League Unlimited is also fantastic but has a much wider focus than just Superman.
Loved Supergirl as well! If you're looking for Superman comic ideas, Superman For All Season & All-Star Suoerman. All-Star has just been released in a compact size for about $10.
Would love to see your take on Superman Returns.
Honestly, I don't know the story of this movie, so I don't know what you should research. If the movie is about Superman's origins, it would be spoilery to read up on his origins. If they are basing the movie on an existing comic or story, it would be spoilery to read up on it. I recommend you do not research it. Just experience the movie fresh.
the superman and the batman both have dogs, respectively *krypto the super dog* and ace the bat hound
typically ace doesn't have super powers like krypto but they have their own legion of super pets brand with some other animal superheroes. in the *Young Justice* animated series krypto is *superboy's* doggo friend.
Young justice is one of the best DC tv shows i highly recommend you to watch. cheers.
Hi yes great song comic book Superman and Justice League and they have cartoon movie Superman 😁
Superman The Animated Series is a good to check out
The story of Superman begins in the 1930s so starting anywhere is ok. There is too much Superman out there to grasp everything at once so just pick something up. My Superman started with the 1950s and 1960s TV shows. It then moved to the cartoons of the 1970s and 1980s. The comics especially Man Of Steel and Krypton and Superman Year One are good things to read. In the movies 1980s Superman movie is a must. Christopher Reeves is a Superman to an entire generation of people. The TV shows Lois and Clark, Superman and Lois, Smallville and the 1990s Superman animation and Justice League animation are good Superman resources. The Death of Superman is a must comic read. I would do any of that before watching any movie post 2005 just to get an idea of who or what Superman is in American comics/mythology. I do have to say there is just too much out there to start anywhere so you just go for it. Personally I am a fan of the old movie serials and of the George Reeves TV show before anything else. After that Christopher Reeves is my Superman and no one has come close since in the movies or TV. The comics are all over the place. At any one time in the last 50 years there are always 3 different comic runs of Superman at the same time so many stories to follow.
Educationally if you really want to know where Superman comes from make sure you familiarize yourself with the Jewish story of Moses. Superman is a Moses analogue and the character was specifically created to battle the propaganda of the German Ubermensch of the 1930s.
the best homework to watch any of these characters is to watch justice league and then justice league unlimited. the cartoon .me and my girl are watching it now and loving it.

Christopher Reeves version of Superman would be a good place to start even though the series is much older.
It’s about daymn time Krypto is finally shown. I’ve been waiting for this for decades basically since Christopher was Superman so 40 years or so!!
All Star Superman comics
I don't think you'll have time to watch all the seasons of Smallville) That's why I recommend the 1978 Superman movie, the sequel is also available, as well as the Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill. Probably the last one is my favorite Superman movie. I hope you'll like it too. As for the animated series, of course, the 90s animated series about Superman. I also recommend the animated series "My Adventures with Superman". Quite interesting works, worthy of attention.
I'm excited and skeptical at the same time. I am gonna miss Henry Ben and Gal though
Maybe start with Superman: The Movie or Smallville
You should DEFINITELY watch Smallville to get the feel of how Clark Kent should be.
Watch the 4 Christopher Reeve movies, the Superman Animated Series, and a few key short comic book runs: All Star Superman, Superman for all Seasons, and Superman For the Man who has Everything
It'll be great to see Krypto in live action on the big screen. Some shows have played around the edges by giving Clark a dog that looked like Krypto or was even called Krypto, but the only time I can think they've previously gone 'full Krypto' is in the Netflix show Titans, featuring Robin, Superboy, Krypto, Wonder Girl and a bunch of other younger DC heroes. (Trailer: ua-cam.com/video/fW_SKiwOqGQ/v-deo.html)
Depends on where you'd like to start and where you go.. Also which mediums are you thinking??
I'm keen to pick up some comics, sounds like that's where a lot of fans think the best stories are atm. But I also have a lot of fun watching shows and movies so i'm up for anything
@@LippsReacts I would say pick up Superman Red&Blue, for comic book wise.
Movie wise, I would say checkout Christopher Reeves Superman 1978, Superman Returns, and Superman all star.
Show wise I'd say check out Lois and Clark. Besides Brandon Routh & Christopher Reeves Superman, I absolutely loved the guy who played Superman in the CW show.
Also if you're interested in documentaries, they recently did a documentary film on Christopher Reeves and why he will always be known as our real life Superman.
I can't wait for this movie, I think James Gunn really has something special for us
That’s Krypto!
Superman the animated series
Watch the animated movies Superman VS The Elite and All Star Superman. They’re amazing.
The only thing that really matter for this world, granted I don’t think you have to watch any of this stuff to enjoy the movie, but the only things that matter to this universe right now are
Blue beetle (movie)
The suicide squad (movie) (2021)
Peacemaker (show)
Creature commandos (show)
I would say plenty of people enjoyed Supergirl! A show doesn't last six seasons in this day and age without a lot of love. If you enjoyed that, you could try 'Superman and Lois' which features the same actors who played Superman and Lois on Supergirl.
So fair!! I’ll give Superman and Lois a go I could use a good comfort show to watch
You should watch a few seasons of Smallville. Watch the new animated show My Adventure with Superman. And watch Krypto, the superdog animated show. Can't believe you dont know who Krypto was 😢
Krypto is going to have a HUGE role in Supergirl movie 2026. Milly Alcock is playing Supergirl.
People really think Krypto is too silly for a Superman movie. A flying dog is too silly for a guy who defies the laws of physics? People are just hating to hate at this point. It's getting sad at this point. This film is going to be amazing I can't wait to see a proper Superman on the big screen again.
laughing at "A flying dog is too silly for a guy who defies the laws of physics?"
Watch the Christopher Reeves Superman (1978) and Superman II (the Donner cut if you can find it )
I’d then go with Smallville, the Superman Animated show from the 90s, the newer My Adventures with Superman animated series, and the excellent CW show Superman and Lois (all available on HBO Max) to really understand Superman before getting to Snyder’s Man of Steel which was a much more cynical, dour take on Superman. Man of steel is a decent movie, but it kind of misses the point and unfortunately, a ton of fans were introduced to Superman by that movie.
Superman:Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, Action Comics 775, Superman For all Seasons, All-Star Superman, Kingdom Come, Superman: Up in the Sky, a few more, but this is a good start.
The Justice League and Justice League United animated series might be helpful. We see characters like Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mr Terrific and Metamorpho in this trailer.
If you really want to dig deep, Young Justice is fantastic. All the sidekicks (Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis) team up and do covert ops for Batman.
Supergirl was a great tv show.
Which Batman films did you watch? I ask because Christopher Nolan's Batman films, while good, weren't really "DC Universe" movies, so to speak. They were in their own universe without overtly superpowered beings. Geeks might say they were "non-canon" with the actual DC Universe. So someone could like them a lot, like liking Zoro or Robin Hood, but not like any superhero films.
I was all in as soon as the Doggo showed up
right!?
Krypto is his name 🐕🐶
I love him!! 🥹
@LippsReacts I know, me too
Nice review 💐 tho one thing I want is him without the trunks 😢
Please watch "My adventures with Superman!"
Homework? Watch some Superman The animated Series (1996) and Justce League (2001).
Hi Lipps, love your channel, thanks for it. If you want to watch movies watch the 1978 Superman movie. If you want to read comics read Superman: A Man for All Seasons first then Allstar Superman. James Gunn took a lot of inspiration from Allstar Superman for his movie. Those are good graphic novels to start with but there are lots of good Superman stories to read. I nearly forgot. Superman the animated series is good too.
Movies no, this is more comic book accurate, there's a reading list that Gunn has talked about as it pertains to this movie.
he is Fukin Tall!!!!
john wick would kill superman using a pencil
@hedgehog1684 hmm, how big pencil we talk about?.😄
@hedgehog1684 😉
That's Krypto
All the women are gonna watch this movie cause of the dog, no doubt.
Who's this dog??? It's painfully apartment this women didn't grow up reading comic books.
