That New Science Fiction Movie "Man of Steel"...
...I liked it!
Man of Steel is a science fiction movie, more than a superhero film. And a pretty good one at that. A fun ride. Felt like Superman filtered through the grittier sensibility J. Michael Straczynski brought to Supreme Power, his take on Marvel's Superman analogue Hyperion and other Justice League inspired "heroes". It is a "darker" take on Superman's origin story, but no grimmer than the first couple of X-Men movies.
It is massive in scale, epic in the amount of destruction displayed, and an admirable attempt at answering the "What if?" of how the world of 2013 would handle the appearance of a powerful alien among us. They do a pretty neat job of that. Felt so contemporary to me that it was a little jarring when someone first calls the city Metropolis instead of New York - just the briefest, "oh yeah."
Henry Cavill makes a great Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman - his ability to convey his character's maturation and acceptance of his unique place in the universe gives weight and development to what could have been a two-dimensional role. The dialogue was sometimes too... obvious? But both Cavill and Amy Adams - best Lois Lane yet - made it work.
Don't want to spoil any plot points... but I did like the way the story was put together. If flashbacks bother you? You'll be bothered. One thing that bothered me was the overuse of shaky-cam and sudden zooms - a little hand-held goes a long way for me. Instead of making me feel like I'm watching captured action, after a while I'm just annoyed. Got annoyed a couple of times.
But overall I would recommend the movie. Pretty neat new take on the Superman story.

The "Reboot" Question...
Reading the reviews for Man Of Steel and discussing the coming new movie with friends, I've been running into a repeated question, almost a complaint - why do movie makers feel a need to "reboot" an existing superhero franchise with a new origin story?
While there's an argument to be made that telling another origin story may not be a creatively rich idea, in some ways the Superman franchise is a perfect illustration of how a reboot ain't necessarily a bad idea - as well as an illustration of how picking up an existing franchise years later might not work as well as some people think.
Haven't yet seen Man of Steel - I'm writing this the Thursday night before it opens - but I'm hoping for the best. Looks like it's going to be pretty good - we'll see. It's definitely a reboot, a retelling of the origin tale. Which makes sense in this case. And maybe in most cases when some years have gone by since the last movie(s). But how many years? Hard to say.
A friend on Twitter said that as someone possessing limited knowledge of comic characters, she prefers origin stories, makes it easier to connect with characters and plot. But I do think some time has to go by - the recent Spider-Man reboot struck many as coming way too soon, for example. Not sure how long, but five years? Way too soon. The James Bond movies should have served as their example - change actors, move on.
How about twenty-six years? Or even nineteen? Those are probably allowable spans of time for a reboot. But Bryan Singer wasn't interested in going that route when he was handed the Superman franchise seven years ago. Flush off his success with the X-Men, Singer decided his Superman movie would pick up where Richard Donner's had left off.
Superman Returns was a cinematic love letter to Donner and Christopher Reeve's movie Superman, picking up right after events in Superman II - originally released in 1980 - and pointedly ignoring the third and fourth movies with Reeve. Singer had basically decided against a reboot, and instead made a movie that would fit with the earlier ones. But the unintended side effect was that Singer created a film that felt dated on opening day. The seventies' sensibilities that informed Reeve's Superman and which were recreated in Singer's homage didn't connect with the younger movie-going public.
It didn't work. Superman Returns did okay at the box office, but any sheen it possessed has been tarnished by passing time. Released just seven years ago, its dated quality makes it feel like it's been much longer since we've seen a Superman film. And despite Superman Returns being made in 2006, it feels like we haven't yet seen a movie Superman for the 21st century.
One of the complaints folks had with Superman Returns was that there wasn't any real fighting - "No punching!" was the gripe. By the looks of it's trailers and previews, Zack Snyder listened to those grumblings. Appears there will be punching in Man of Steel. That wasn't a problem for me, but all the same, I am looking forward to seeing what Snyder, adviser Christopher Nolan and screenwriter David Goyer have cooked up for ol' Superman!

ALIBI JONES AND THE TIME WAR OF THE DEVRIZIUM - IN WIDE DISTRIBUTION!
Alibi Jones and the Time War of The Devrizium
A Connected Cycle of
Short Stories
A race of time travelers seems to want Alibi Jones' time to come to an end! The Devrizium appear willing to alter time and space itself to
remove him from both entirely...
A connected Cycle of Four Short Stories, Alibi Jones and The Time War of
The Devrizium tells two of the same tales you'll find in Alibi Jones' comic books. After adapting
the comic book scripts for audio presentation, Mike took them a step further
and turned them into actual short stories. In addition, he turned the
as-yet-unfinished final two tales in the arc into finished short stories to
complete the adventure.
This anthology, then, gives Alibi's fans who might not read
comic books a chance to experience his entanglements with the xenophobic, time
traveling race known as The Devrizium - and even has something extra for those
who have read Alibi Jones' comic book adventures.
ALIBI JONES and THE
TIME WAR of THE DEVRIZIUM
About Time
Remember Two Things
Memory, Yet Green*
The Last Battle*
(*previously unreleased)
The eBook is appearing in most of the major outlets. Here

Episode 250 This Weekend!
Glow-in-the-Dark Radio's 250th episode will appear this weekend. I began podcasting in September of 2006 - thought bringing my writing and radio worlds together might help me promote my books. I'd released VATICAN ASSASSIN at the end of 2005 and was getting the sequel VATICAN AMBASSADOR ready to go. Maybe reading my own work and giving away the chapters on a podcast would drum up interest. It sorta worked...
Didn't really know what I was doing at first. Release schedule at the start was haphazard, at best. Between full-time radio jobs, I was putting out chapters as I could, a couple each week, sometimes more. After I went back to work at the end of that year, the schedule grew more regular.
In 2007 I was tipped off to Podiobooks.com - a site created by authors podcasting their fiction. Turned out there were more people doing it! I joined the site and joined up with some of fiction podcasting's pioneers. I put VATICAN ASSASSIN up on Podiobooks and began to ready book two.
Releasing VATICAN AMBASSADOR though Podiobooks, I briefly let the main podcast fade - then realized that was dumb - had some great people to learn from with Podiobooks. Soon picked the main 'cast back up. Ever since, Glow-in-the-Dark Radio has come out once a week, with an occasional week off here and there. And so, after six and a half or so years of doing this, we come to episode 250.
I've got a brand-new Alibi Jones story prepared for you - "Alibi Jones: Memory, Yet Green". Outlined to be a comic book story, the script was never finished. But, as I love the story, I decided to finish it as a short so I could bring it to you in audio form on the podcast. It's part of the series of stories set during The Time War of The Devrizium. Alibi is 91 years old as the story begins...
You won't be able to find this story anywhere else, in any other form. At least, not for a while. So I hope you'll check out episode 250 this weekend - Thanks!
