Most Memorable Moment: Clark Kent Dancing with Lana Lang at the Prom (Smallville)

This was such an interesting prom scene from the Smallville episode Spirit (season 4 episode 18) because there were a wide array of emotions shown from all the characters. From Clark Kent's surprise at seeing Lana Lang to Lana's nervousness of being at the prom. To both Lois Lane and her cousin (still not a fan of this) Chloe Sullivan feeling a little melancholy to Martha and Jonathan Kent's shock melt into happiness to Jason Teague's jealousy at seeing Clark and Lana dancing.

There was just so many emotions in this scene. I always found it interesting that despite Lois saying that she wasn't the one Clark wanted to dance with, you could see on her face after he left that she was experiencing some sort of emotion about it. Perhaps she did want to dance with him. But at that point in time Clark only had feelings for Lana who unfortunately was dating Jason (who in my opinion was using Lana because she had a connection to the stones). Jason might have cared for Lana but he was still using her.

Now back to Lois, the irony of her telling her cousin "You're headed for Metropolis. You are destined to be a big shot reporter at the Daily Planet." Which as we all know, is Lois' destiny. I have to mention that very bright and tacky pink dress and equally tacky earrings that Lois was wearing (maybe I'll do a Fashion Meets Comics for it). That look was so not Lois, however, it was all thanks to Dawn Stiles' ghost who had possessed her. Ugly dress or not at least Dawn did an amazing job with Lois' makeup because that was perfect. The sad thing was that one way or another Dawn was so set on being Prom Queen and she kept possessing different people to try to achieve that. Meanwhile, I just love Lana's complete look, it was very old Hollywood glam. Hair, dress, accessories and makeup, it was all perfect. And Clark had a very nice simple tuxedo that looked great on him.

They really had the perfect song playing with Lifehouse performing their song "You and Me". Because as the scene closes, there's Clark and Lana happily slow dancing without a care in the world not realizing the swirl of emotions all around them. They are just so blissfully unaware. This was just a memorable scene.

Most Memorable Scene: Lois Lane in the Arctic and Meeting her Mysterious Rescuer (Man of Steel)

Anyone who regularly visits my blog, know that I had quite a few issues with the Man of Steel movie. However, despite it not being one of my favorite movies, there were scenes in the movie that I did like. For instance, this scene of Lois Lane when she went to the Arctic to investigate what the mysterious object that the government had found buried in the ice. Despite being treated rather poorly she didn't let that stop her from being there. And being her usual inquisitive self, she spotted someone walking along the ice cliffs and followed him to see what he was up to. She totally found the most amazing story but who would believe her. Even Editor-in-Chief Perry White didn't believe her because her article read more as sci-fi instead of an actual news story.

Anyway, what I found interesting is that Clark Kent could have easily listened to the advice his paranoid father Jonathan told him and not helped Lois. Especially since she, unlike all the others (minus Pete Ross) he had helped would actually see him using his powers. He didn't know what could happen afterwards such as would his secret still be safe but thankfully he took the chance and saved her. Yes, afterwards she did secretly release the story that Perry wouldn't publish. Which had her on a journey for the truth about her mysterious rescuer but after a bit of soul searching with the truth after tracking down Clark, she decided not to release the in depth information and story she had gathered. The thing is if she had not gone to the Artic for the first story, she never would have uncovered the truth about Clark Kent.

This is truly beautiful artwork of Lois Lane and Clark Kent reconnecting at the Kent family farm from the Justice League movie. The artist captured the moment when Clark heard his mother's truck approaching. It was a happy moment for all of them before Clark had to go join the Justice League to help save the day.

Trailer: Superman & Lois season 4

Shall we start the countdown now? We have a little over two months before the fourth and final season of Superman & Lois will premiere. It's going to be a two hour premeire on Thursday, October 17th at 8:00 PM EST on The CW. This is probably one of my most anticipated shows for the fall season. I know they are going to bring Superman/Clark Kent back, it's just Lois, her sons, the world and us viewers are going to have to deal with his death before it happens. I really want to know how the writers are going to bring him back. Anyway, I can't wait to see this season.

I remember how excited fans were for the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Especially when this picture of the characters: Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman from the movie were on the cover of Entertainment Weekly's July 2015 Special Comic-Con Double issue.

I'll be honest I wasn't that thrilled about seeing Batman v Superman especially after my disappointment after watching the movie Man of Steel. And not to mention the trailer for Batman v Superman didn't really sell me, however the teaser trailer initially did. Yet, there was something about this movie I was still excited to see and that was Wonder Woman. This was going to be the character's first appearance in a big screen live-action movie. And I couldn't wait to see it. But once I did, yeah, it was not the best.

Fans had been waiting for years to finally see these three characters on the big screen together. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice should have been The Superhero movie instead all that potential was wasted. I will say the theatrical version of this movie had moments where it was good but it felt like they were trying to do too much in one movie. And edited out things that should have been included which is why I prefer the extended version of the movie. It's much better even though there is still too much happening but this version added more to the story. Anyway, I still love this cover photo from the magazine, I found the textless version to post.

Superman & Lois Season 4 Teaser Trailer

I'm not ready for the beginning of the end of the Superman & Lois TV series. I really wish it wasn't ending. Anyway, here's the teaser trailer for the upcoming fourth season and it's totally piqued my interest. Now I wonder if Clark/Superman is going to return from the "dead" as he does in various stories or are the writers going to create something a little different? As stated in this teaser, the full trailer will be released next Saturday, July 27th. I can't wait to see what else will be shown.

The fourth and final season of Superman & Lois will have a two hour back-to-back episode premiere on Thursday, October 17 at 8:00 PM EST on The CW.

Characters Reading: Olive Oyl

In the beginning of the Popeye cartoon She-Sick Sailors, Olive Oyl was reading Superman comic books. What I found interesting in the cartoon is that it showed that she's a really big Superman fan. Not only did Olive have several stacks of Superman comics but also a lot of Superman posters on her wall.

Christmas Countdown Day #8: Clark Kent Delivers Toys for Christmas (Smallville)

In the Smallville episode Lexmas (season 5 episode 9), Clark Kent was delivering all the Toys for Tots presents throughout Metropolis. He was trying to make sure all the kids in need received their presents for Christmas. It's been a while since I've rewatched this episode but I think there was a strike that made it impossible for the toys to be delivered. So, Clark was asked by his friend Chloe Sullivan if he could deliver all the toys. And in delivering the toys, Clark met a disillusioned man dressed as Santa who was disappointed with the current state of the world.

Of course Clark being the hero that he is, was going to help. He talked to the guy which made Santa realize that there was still some good in the world. Due to Santa being a little drunk (okay a lot drunk), Clark also had to save him when he fell off the roof. But as drunk as he was, he most likely forgot what happened when he was saved.

Most Memorable Scene: Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman vs Doomsday

I may have my issues with Batman v Superman but I have to say I did find the fight between the DC Trinity (Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman) vs Doomsday to be very interesting. It was very exciting and action-packed. Despite having issues with each other, the trio did work pretty well together.

It's been a while since I've seen this movie but I do believe this was the first time in the movie we saw Wonder Woman. Because earlier in the movie that was just Diana who had long given up on humanity and had no desire to fight any more. But thankfully she returned because otherwise Batman would have been killed by Doomsday before Superman could get there. It goes without saying that Superman made the ultimate sacrifice to stop Doomsday. But as with comic book stories, that wasn't the end of Clark or Superman's story.

Side note, I love how this fight centers Wonder Woman and not to mention her theme song by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL is mostly played throughout the scene.

Entertainment News #14: Henry Cavill, WestWorld, Superman & Lois and Dreamer

- There's an unfortunate update to the Henry Cavill news I posted back in Entertainment News #12. Back then I reported that he left his role as Geralt from the Netflix TV series The Witcher to return to his role as Superman. Well bad news for us Superman fans, Cavill posted a statement (below) on his Instagram account stating that he will no longer be playing Superman. I guess he doesn't fit the new Warner Bros. Discovery executives' plans for their vision of the DC Comics movies. They really should have let him know they changed their minds about his involvement before he quit his job based on what they had initially told him.

It's disappointing because although I had issues with his performance in Man of Steel (it felt like he was told or directed to be as wooden as possible), but it was so much better in Batman v Superman and Justice League. Here's hoping that the next role Cavill gets will be something that's really amazing.

Quote: Clark Kent and Lois Lane (Smallville)

Clark: You know...If you spent as much time studying as you did trying to leave, you'd be in college already.

Lois: And where'd you get that pearl of wisdom, the Farmer's Almanac?

Clark: So, what do you think?

Lois: They're not really your colors.

Clark: They're the school's colors.

Lois: I'm glad you made the team, Clark, but why be a conformist? At least with the whole farm boy plaid thing, as lame as it is, it completely belongs to you.

Clark: In the future, let's restrict our conversations to "hello" and "goodbye."

Fandom Friday: Random Fandom Thoughts #15: The Witcher, Natalie Irons and more

Where has the month gone? It's already half way over. But there is still so much fandom stuff that's happening and I want to know what's on your mind?

- The second season of The Witcher premieres today and I can't wait to see it. Although, I loved the first season, the second season looks like it's going to be even better than the first. I really want to know what happened to Yennefer and what big threat they're going up against in this new season.

Quote: Christopher Reeve

It’s very hard for me to be silly about Superman, because I’ve seen firsthand how he actually transforms people’s lives. I have seen children dying of brain tumors who wanted as their last request to talk to me, and have gone to their graves with a peace brought on by knowing that their belief in this kind of character really matters. It’s not Superman the tongue-in-cheek cartoon character they’re connecting with; they’re connecting with something very basic: the ability to overcome obstacles, the ability to persevere, the ability to understand difficulty and to turn your back on it.

~ Christopher Reeve, Time magazine (March 14, 1988)
