    Too bad about sales. I'd love to see this be an ongoing, at least for a while, like the Adam West Batman '66. Superman (1978) is the origin of AI Jor-El, of Krypton as an ice planet and the Fortress as ice, of the S as the symbol of the El family rather than an S for Superman, etc. Basically, these have been part of every version since.
    The sales weren't good? How did they compare to other Superman books which are pretty much in the tank? Action coming in at 95 or so. Hoping they were good enough to get a sequel.

    We don’t know actual hard numbers anymore ever since DC pulled out of Diamond. All anyone has now are “projections” and “guesstimates”. That includes that YouTube video you linked which I won’t bother watching. But if Venditti is working on a sequel the way he hinted at in the podcast I’d say it did well enough for a follow up which is all I care about.

    Nice. Dunno who I’d want to be the villain. At first I would’ve picked Metallo but that could be a boring choice if it’s just him doing the typical BEHOLD MY KRYPTONITE HEART scheme. Parasite, Mongul, or Mxy might be better choices.

    Parasyte or Mongul is they want a more Donner-inspired take, Mxy could really work eith Lester's tone though.

    Torres did draw concepts for Mongul and Darkseid so either one of those two could be used.

    Mongul or Darkseid but only if they look like guys in clearly 1970s makeup/prosthetics.

    I think Jack Palance would be a good Darkseid or Mongul.

    Ooh good call. I think Charlton Heston or Peter Weller could work for either too.

    I'd also love to see Mamma Fratelli worked in there somehow too. More Goonies references, please!

    Sorry, I have a bunch of questions about Superman 1978 (The Movie):

    1- When Lois is hanging from the helicopter/roof, holding on simple metal bars, and you can see that the street below was VERY DISTANT... do you think that the length between Lois and the street below was "realistic" for the Daily Planet building?

    2- Was the sequence in which Superman grabs Lois, and then the helicopter, still spectacular in your view? I would have preferred a less tall/lower highscraper, in order to raise the stakes and make the scene more frightning. Or maybe am I wrong?

    3- Do you think that Superman was at the middle of the highscraper when he grabbed Lois?

    Thank you so much.

    I hope they'll be announcing the sequel at SDCC.
