Superman: Man of Tomorrow turned out to be an exciting rebooting of DC’s animated films, taking the Man of Steel back to his earliest days in Metropolis and establishing his still-to-evolve relationships with Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. In between, of course, dealing with Lobo and Parasite while being mentored by Martian Manhunter.
As such, it’s an intriguing mix of characters, which is one of the topics we discussed with the film’s screenwriter, Tim Sheridan.
Over the course of the second installment of our three-part conversation with Tim on the Voices from Krypton podcast, he also reflects on the influence of Richard Donner’s iconic 1978 film Superman: The Movie, and, interestingly enough, shares that his approach to Superman, Lobo and Martian Manhunter definitely took a cue from the original Star Trek‘s triumvirate of Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy.
And if all of that isn’t enough, there’s his belief that Lois and Jonathan and Martha Kent provide the greatest window into who Superman is.
Superman, Lois and a whole lot more will be discussed in the third and final part of our conversation. If you haven’t seen Superman: Man of Tomorrow, you can do so through streaming on HBO Max and elsewhere, or on Blu-ray and DVD.
