Starting point is 00:00:26 further ado let's watch one of the classics that inspired totally certain movie coming out July 11th let's watch all-star Superman

Starting point is 00:00:33 if you are just joining us we just experienced all-star Superman in animation for the very first time I would like to thank the fine folks at Prepper for making this possible for getting this on the YouTube's

Starting point is 00:00:55 we very much appreciate them as I said at the top head I'm to Patreon if you watch think, but also check out Rejectnationshop.com for some sweet sweet threads. You too can have wardrobe changes like Superman. We got some Patreon questions. We do in fact, Coytoos.

Starting point is 00:01:10 We'll start with those and then review this masterpiece. All righty. So starting off with Dauphmer. Thank you for stoking the fires of conversation for All-Star Superman. Hello, John and Coy. Glad to see you both enjoying more DC

Starting point is 00:01:26 content. I was wondering, for both you what makes Superman a compelling character what aspects of him would you like to see more on the big screen? Things like him being a journalist, farmer, or father are aspects of him I've enjoyed seeing in shows like Smallville or Superman and Lois and in this movie we get

Starting point is 00:01:43 to see him use more of his intellect which I enjoy because Superman is a highly intelligent character which doesn't get highlighted much I think that's a solid point in fact what was I guess partly revelatory for me because especially watching this now I'm like I definitely but I didn't reread going

Starting point is 00:01:59 into this partly because I was like I'll reread after and before the James Gunn movie you know just to so I don't so I can go into this as fresh as possible and you know a lot of my memory is just like clear on gone so like one of the loveliest things about this is that yeah like partway and I was I started to realize like oh this is a bunch of scenes with characters for the most part and then we have like a couple of very physical threats but they're more like interludes it's not really like a Superman story that's like heavily predicated on like there's a big physical fight we need to go take care of that's ongoing throughout the whole movie it's yeah more about the stakes of he's got he doesn't have much time and there are a

Starting point is 00:02:39 bunch of sort of competing factors at play you know in the jeopardy of you know earth at the moment and so yeah i really liked this story's emphasis on superman both as cal and clark as a character as a person and like the fact that he knows he's dying changes the demeanor in the way he interacts with Lois, with Lex, with everybody. Yeah, I mean, to briefly touch on one of my favorite parts about this story is that it feels like an old golden age serial. Like it feels very before comics were what they are today format wise. But as far as Superman, I have said it before, but I think it's very pertinent to this question. I think I like Superman more and more. every year I grew up.

Starting point is 00:03:27 Like when I was a kid, I liked the edgy characters. I actually, to be fair, when I started liking comics, I liked Superman. I mean, I liked Spider-Man. I liked Batman. Those were my big three. And like Batman was just always cool. X-Men were always different. Spider-Man was always funny.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Like the fundamentals of those things when you're like three, those were really foundational. Superman, I had phases of liking because of like what he represented. But it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I went from. oh, I like Superman as, like, I appreciate him, but I don't identify with him. And then, like, in my late 20s, I started liking him and identifying with him. And now every year, I find the goodness isn't old fashioned. So as much as I like him having an intellect, as much as I like him having any number of those, you know, things that add up to who Clark Kent and Superman is, for me, it's just the anchor of, it's not old fashioned to be good. for the sake of good. It's not boring to seek the best. And I think that is something that as the world

Starting point is 00:04:34 gets darker, the brightness of Superman is more important. So as I get more frustrated with the world and more plugged into the world and more cynical, it keeps me tethered into the optimism I try to keep. Because I'm an optimist and that's harder and harder. And so Superman is that to me. So it's not about anything he does it's about who he is yeah yeah absolutely and i mean i feel like what i find compelling about a superman so i think that's a really cool point and i think i would agree because yeah it's like when you're a young person you're coming of age and stuff you know uh you you get enamored by the cool flashy things and yeah i always find part of what is most charming and most affecting about superman stories that i've been exposed to is yeah is i feel like i don't know the more the more we

Starting point is 00:05:21 watch these the more i sort of feel as though there is there's the difference between marvel and dc of you're looking up versus looking down but like superman in so many ways kind of represents a sort of parker luckish thing to me where it's like it's just a guy doing his best to be in as many places as he can and he's trying to protect all the people who are important to him and you can't do all of those things so you have to choose wisely and you have to you know choose goodness even when you have every excuse not to um and to see him in this movie in a in a in a sort of state of, not resign, but just like acceptance of mortality is interesting because it gives him a different vibe than I'm used to. And I, yeah, I get the people often cite the sort of like, oh, Boy Scout character is kind of boring, but I feel like when Superman's stories for me are really firing, it's like, no, like, I don't know, it's a very relatable motivation to want to look out for people and do the right thing and to rise to the occasion again in a world that is providing you with

Starting point is 00:06:24 every excuse to not reach for those heights sure and so yeah like it i get the inspiration factor of like damn you know as as fanciful and science fiction as these stories can be like yeah this is the everyday struggle of like life is hard enough and it's enough coordination and even without superpowers sometimes it just feels like you're hearing and seeing everything and you can't block it all out and you can't create clarity in order to just achieve either your own goals or you know help the people around you thrive or at least, you know, not be subject to tyranny or harm or whatever it is. And, and, yeah, like, I can get down with a very physical Superman story that has a lot of action. But I really do love a take that, yeah, like, allows the character, the person and the dual

Starting point is 00:07:10 nature of the guy to shine. And, too, when you get to, yeah, kind of relish in the contrast between Clark and Superman. Yeah, I hope I didn't lose the plot of this question. But, I mean, I like seeing the human aspect. I like any Superman story that doesn't seem like it's trying to rush past all the character elements to get to some punching. Yeah, agree. So yeah, like, and two, one, where especially when he's up

Starting point is 00:07:37 against Lex and especially in this story, like, yeah, this wasn't, there was a lot of like fun in games in a way and a lot of like random annoyance. You know, Samson and Atlas show up to just kind of like be a nuisance. I like that it feel like issues. It felt so serialized. And they did, I was really worried about how. how they'd translate.

Starting point is 00:07:53 I was really afraid that a narrative film would try to make that story a three-act structure and that wouldn't work. Yeah, and like, too, I think the human characters around him help.

Starting point is 00:08:05 It's like whenever he's with Maun Paw Kent, there's that wholesome quality and there's also that sort of bird, like whenever I often find in those scenes, you come in touch with the wholesome and also the burden of choosing better

Starting point is 00:08:18 and living up to ideals and morals and standards and whatnot. And then when you're like, with a lowest type of character you're with more of the edge you know you're you're with somebody who is a little bit more cunning and who maybe you know not always doing everything by the book but someone who still has that sort of good nature at heart like yeah i think a good superman story is often elevated character wise superman as a character's flavored by his core people and also yeah by the ideals and by the intellect and whatnot.

Starting point is 00:08:51 Next cue is from Joseph Brown for John and Coy. What are your favorite? This will be a coy question. What are your favorite Grant Morrison comics? And which one do you hope most will be adapted into animation? I think Grant Morrison is one of the all-time greats. I think he's an absolute genius. He's doing, and this is a big deal.

Starting point is 00:09:13 Are you ready? I'm hanging on the edge of my Marvel and DC haven't in 20 years Grant Morrison is writing Are you ready Deadpool versus Batman

Starting point is 00:09:26 Whoa It's gonna be insane That is the comic book I'm so excited For the now I'm so excited Graham Morrison He wrote new X-Men

Starting point is 00:09:35 Which is one of my favorite runs of all time He wrote one of my favorite singular volumes of comics ever If I was to to give anyone 10 comic books to show the array of major comics.

Starting point is 00:09:48 One of them would be Grant Morrison's Animal Man. Grant Morrison's Animal Man rocked me so much as a teen. And then I didn't touch it for like 10 years because I just loved it. And I didn't want to, I read a lot of comics. I don't need to reread the ones. But then I was in my 20s, like 28. And I was like, you know, it's time. And I reread Animal Man.

Starting point is 00:10:05 I was like, it's better. Animal Man's so good. And it's a character that shouldn't work. And the way the metanus works is so genius. it's a comic that I can't wait to to show my unborn children like I can't wait to be like this is what comics can be

Starting point is 00:10:19 so that's a big one for me I'm just I'm a big Grant Morrison fan in general but all-star Superman I didn't use to like nearly as much as I like now when it first came out I didn't have a connection to Superman in the same way like I was talking about so this has become one but Animal Man

Starting point is 00:10:34 always I've always loved Animal Man his take and his new X-Men is pretty special Did he do the New 52 Animal Man that was one of them when they did the new 52 for whatever reason. I remember specifically hearing people say that Animal Man was a particularly good title out of that. I don't think he did the new 52. His one was when

Starting point is 00:10:51 there was the thing called the British invasion, when Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, a bunch of the Brits. His Animal Man was from like the late 70s and it was so good. Okay. It was like when Al Moore was doing V and that like Watchman era. Okay. And that Animal Man like was a Golden Age hero that he modernized

Starting point is 00:11:07 then that actually is even more applicable now. Fun. Highly recommend it. I didn't actually realize that I would have an answer for this. But actually, now that I, in the back of my mind, I was like, hang on a minute. I got one. Hang on. I got a Graham Morrison. I know a fave of mine, I think,

Starting point is 00:11:23 has the name thoroughly attached, and I have just looked it up to verify. And yes, in fact, if you've been watching these recent iterations of our DC anime, you've probably heard me mention, Arkham Asylum. Correct. Serious House on Serious Earth. I promise to read more comics,

Starting point is 00:11:39 so I'm not as much of a broken record. But that's a great comp. I adore that book, though. I love that book from memory. Yeah, the way that story is told and unfolds, but also the artwork that goes along with it. It was one of those books. I remember picking up from the library ages ago, and Greg and I would go on like little pilgrimages to the library

Starting point is 00:11:59 to like grab a new comic or whatever, and that's where I read a lot of stuff. And that book recontextualized to me what comic book artwork and storytelling could be, and it's one I often think about whenever it was like, whoa, what would you want to see adapted? And I'm like, that one. And to come to find, like, one thing I would love to do if given the time and more succinct version of having an attention span is to, like, you know, soak in authors, you know, like read a handful of ones by this guy or that guy or whoever.

Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah. And, you know, really sort of drink those in. But that would be mine for sure. Because, again, if you could transcribe that art style along with what that story is, I would be on cloud 10. He came to one of my birthdays once and I lost my mind, Grandma, so. showed up at I had a crazy crazy birthday that was like a ball like we had a gala ball and Grant Morrison came and I didn't know how to react and I happened to be on a stripper pole spinning at the time and so I just kept like dancing in the stripper pole while being

Starting point is 00:12:57 like how was Grant Morrison here and then we had a really amazing long conversation about X-Men and the importance of like the voices for each it was like the coolest birthday present hell yeah it was so special that is that I don't know how you could ever have another birthday well that's it I got Jim Starlin and one birthday party too Jim Starlin giving me a Thanos wishing me happy birthday in pencil. Drawing happy birthday from Thanos is a... Can't be that mad. Pretty crazy. I've had some good birthdays with comic legends.

Starting point is 00:13:21 I'm also excited just on the heels of this to go look at my shelf now and go like, oh, that was Graham Orrin's too. He's a genius, you know, like, I'm sure I've read more than just that. Also, we've got comics guy just responding to this comment. I figure I'll work you in here too. I always wanted to see an animated series

Starting point is 00:13:36 based on W.E.3. Do we know what this is, Koi? I think... I think the crew that animated scavengers reign would match Quietly's style well. Also, his Animal Man run would be wild to see animated

Starting point is 00:13:52 but that would have to be a series since the movie wouldn't even scratch the surface. I have never read this, but it looks awesome. It's Graham Orson and Frank quietly doing animal stuff for Vertigo. Cool. So is it We3, I guess? Yeah. You just showed me a new comic. Good sir. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:14:08 Thank you. Comics guy. Animal. Lively named. Living up your living up to your name. That is cool comics guy. Heck yeah and I believe our last one for today is from sci-fi extremist. I've seen your

Starting point is 00:14:24 name pop it up a few times in these Q&As. Thank you so much for John and Coy. Knowing that James, knowing that Jimmy Guns has stated All-Star Superman is an influence on his Superman. Do you think there will be any specific moments in the movie where we will be the Leo meme pointing at the screen other than the robots?

Starting point is 00:14:42 of course, or do you think that the influence on the movie is more in tone and character than actual scenes taken from the book? I think it'll be more tone and character, but I do think he will also give us some little things. I, as of filming this, I have not seen Superman, so I'm not, this is a guess. I would assume he'd have the sun eater in there. I think we'll get, James Gunn seems the type to add a crazy creature that's getting like, you know, throw sun smelt, like that felt so James Gunn. Yeah. So I think that, um, I assume we'll get some of the imagery that are like the comic covers

Starting point is 00:15:15 and if not the story elements but like reframed in a way like there are some moments in this that I was like oh that's the cover I think he'll play around with that I don't think we'll see like Lois in a suit and like I don't think we'll get you know a dying Superman but I do think

Starting point is 00:15:28 the creatures and the actual fortress of solitude I think we'll see some elements that Frank quietly added like the Titanic I was going to see a Titanic I think is the big question That is the question. New one more? I was making sure we don't have it anymore.

Starting point is 00:15:46 Okay, great. Oh, that was three. That was the third. Yeah. Our goal was three. Well, let's talk about this movie real quick for we wrap out of here. I did not have high expectations. I'm not going to lie to you.

Starting point is 00:15:58 I was really worried about all-star Superman because it is so, by its nature, not linear. It is so, like, the story connects, but it connects so tenuously. And then it has a resolution, but it's not a traditional three-ext. it's not a traditional graphic novel it's not a traditional story it is like those old comics where it's like this adventure this adventure oh we found a way to make it relate but with an intent like those did not have much

Starting point is 00:16:24 goo glue or goo together but this was like a perfect middle ground between modern comics and like old 40s comics and so I was really worried when you animate that what's that feel like um and admittedly I didn't want to reread this before the Superman movie because I I will already Leo point, but I also don't want to be doing a thing where I'm

Starting point is 00:16:45 thinking, oh, that's missing or, oh, I'm looking for that. And I think some of the rumors when there's talks of a movie, it sucks, because then you go, oh, I wish that rumor was true or I wish that was a rumor wasn't true. So I was afraid to reread the comic that I know is tonally based. But

Starting point is 00:17:01 seeing this animated movie without having read the comic in so long was really cool because I did get to have some surprises. Like, I forgot about paranoid Lois Lane writing an article. And like, then the fun little, like, how long has that been on that mind's eye was really cool and different. And there were a couple little extra elements

Starting point is 00:17:17 I had missed, so this was a lot of fun. Reject Nation, I don't know about you, but money used to intimidate me. It definitely still intimidates me.

Thank you, Acorns, for sponsoring this video and for up in the bank account look a little bit better. Yeah, man.

Starting point is 00:18:57 Like, again, this seems like such a seminal Superman's story and anything, it's weird. These DC, I think movies we've commented a lot on being very conscientious in how they blend together in such a short amount of time, a lot of different elements that, you know, make up, what I'm trying to say? They're good at typically making a story feel well-rounded in not a ton of time in a format you know is drawing from a vast source material.

Starting point is 00:19:27 And so, yeah, coming back into this after so long was fun because, like, I didn't really, my recollection was foggy enough that I was like, I'm not really sure what kind of story to expect. And part of me expected something that was like more classic in a way. So it was cool to be then thrown into this like, oh, damn, Samson and Atlas are here. And now we're competing for Lois's affections. And now Lois has powers for a day.

Starting point is 00:19:52 And now Lex is over here plotting. And he's got this niece chick around. And then we've got a big sun monster. And like, it's really cool because it, in a way, and a lot of, we've watched a lot of these now. So like the shared intersection that these worlds often. amount to is well ingrained, but something like this I thought actually had like a higher degree of that than I'm even used to seeing in some of these. I feel like a lot of these animated movies, you know, pick a few things to focus on and you kind of focus on that, whereas this

Starting point is 00:20:24 did feel like one big story, but amalgamated, yeah, out of episodes rather than one act, a second act, and the third act. And so I really liked the sort of journey of this and the flavors of this and yeah the way it felt like following a guy on his last days as he both does what his duty instructs you know with the time he has left but also as he tries to make good on just some life moments and things like that so yeah having him and lois bonding on his terms and having it be that yeah he reveals his super identity here and you know there's a bit of a debate about that but you know ultimately it gives way to you know this really lovely day that they get to share together and then you get this you know battle of wits between him and lex and all the

Starting point is 00:21:11 other competing factors like yeah it was it was fun because i felt like i was sort of whisked off on a ride and after a certain amount of time i was sort of like i don't i don't know exactly where this is going to go and who am i where am i yeah and it's adapted out of a book that i imagine had things trimmed and and consolidated and you know adjusted i got a lot of the juice though um but yeah it felt nicely rounded and i liked the tone of this like this had a unique again given that it is such a particular and well

Starting point is 00:21:42 recognized story it did feel like it had its own kind of tone amid the array of Superman flavors that we've seen in our animated journey up till now I found myself in the tone you're speaking of like in a sense of wonder which I don't always feel like you know it's fun to watch these and it's exciting

Starting point is 00:21:59 and it's action packed and like the writing's good and zippy like all the things you want out of a comic but with this one I had a sense of like awe and wonder and that was really cool because that's the character. So I found myself like forgetting to react verbally because I was just like, whoa. Like it was really cool to have that scope. And one of my favorite things

Starting point is 00:22:15 in the comic is, man, this is like, there's no way to say this without just saying it. I enjoy mushrooms. And I really enjoy There's so many ways to cook them. Guys, you can do shataki. That's right. You can have that umami flavor. That's right. So I enjoy a nice you know, uh,

Starting point is 00:22:34 a vegetable. And I found that so does Grant Morrison and that shows in his epiphany of Lex Luthor. And so I as someone who it's all connected, as someone who has had that moment and has someone who

Starting point is 00:22:50 has someone who's seen those those, you know, you said even fractals that I love the idea of like equating gravity to anyway, as someone who has had the moment of connectivity and universality that gave me benevolence, I credit those by the way for a lot of

Starting point is 00:23:06 my optimism. I'm not kidding. So to have Alex Luther in the comic have that. It really was cool to see with a performance because I've only read that. So you're directing it in your head. You're acting those dialogue out, but it's still reading. So it was really fun when I was reading that, you know, in my youth and being like he he and then like when I had that moment for myself being like, oh, like the comic. And then to see it here like performed, I was like, this is nice. So that that was cool. I, you know, I can only hope Nicholas gets to have his moment in Superman. eight. That's a question, I guess, is do you think he will get powered up in the text

Starting point is 00:23:40 of James Gunn's Superman movie? Not powered, I think there'll be some mech. I think you know, there'll be some... Lex-Mex. But I think we'll get there, like, down the journey. I wouldn't want that to happen so early. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, this is one of my favorites, I think, of the animated. Yeah, this is really striking and it's one that I'm actually

Starting point is 00:23:56 not that I don't want to go back and re-watch the other ones, but this is one where part of my brain goes like, I kind of put this on again and like re-observe it. I want to watch the new movie and then read this comic and then watch it again. I want to go in the order that I'm not going to be waiting for beats because I hadn't read this in so long. This got to be fresh. And I know James Gunn isn't going to adapt to this directly. It's tone. So then after the two

Starting point is 00:24:21 adaptations, I want to read it again. Yeah. I think that would be a good idea. In fact, that sounds like a perfect way to do it. You see this version of it. Then you go watch Superman and then you return to the source. Yeah. And then go back and see how this direct adaptation works. And then we'll do a live stream. Yeah. Plus just so much. funny fun. What was Jimmy doing in the dress? Unrevealed. It's for us to. I was going to say, does the comic book make it clear? That's actually a beat I didn't remember, which is funny because it's a whole issue about it's a striking image, but now I'm like, I like that my brain was like, I think that

Starting point is 00:24:53 means I must have been like, Jimmy Hydrinks, because he like turns into a turtle and stuff. Like Jimmy's like a crazy character. Superman's pal Jimmy Olson by Matt Fraction is one of the greatest modern comics period for like this kind of tone and insanity. and that felt like a beat where it was like you've finished a Jimmy Olson issue and then you're catching up on Superman already in progress so they don't explain it because that's its own adventure you don't know what I mean sure so I really like the beat not knowing so this is a Jimmy Olson centric comic book where like Superman is off to the side dude Matt for action wrote an insane 12 issue maxi series of Jimmy Olson just like going nuts it's insane I'm so

Starting point is 00:25:30 excited I will say too I do appreciate I think one thing people are are getting at when they dog on Superman maybe is in a roundabout way like this has a sort of space opera kind of quality about it even though it's mostly relegated to earth you still have like yeah these like larger than life characters passing by and like some characters are here from different points in time and it's like very sci-fi and timey-wimey and i feel like that's a in conversation i just get this gist that that's an element of superman that people probably over look in favor of pointing to he's saving cats from trees.

Starting point is 00:26:09 He's an insane sci-fi character. And that's a thing I think is really as much as people look at James Gunn's upcoming Superman and go, it's going to be too much. I'm like, I'm actually kind of excited to see in a day and age where so many things have been brought down to Earth and I like stuff

Starting point is 00:26:26 about Man of Steel certainly, but you know, that's much more trying to be like grounded in Earth physics and Earth vibes and all that all that dark night shit that we have to do now. And the Superman, you know, as again, space opera, big sort of crazy sci-fi thing, I think is actually a vibe I'm excited to see embodied more on screen. And I have this hope in the back of my mind. I think we did like a massive overcorrection from Joel Schumacher days. And I feel like a little bit of

Starting point is 00:26:57 that wildness and that sort of whimsy could be a benefit. I do. I feel and honestly, I agree. I think we did Schumacher over correct to gritty and I love dark and gritty I like grounded heroes more like I'm a street level hero guy but not every character is made for that so I think right now what DCU is doing is it's kind of like swinging the pendulum the other way and I don't think they're going to

Starting point is 00:27:19 swing as high as we went high of not doing nipples yeah we're not doing super nests but if the highest darkest grittiest is like up here I don't think we're going to go as high in the absurdist but I think going in that direction of sci-fi grandiose is needed to keep things fresh and finally

Starting point is 00:27:35 I guess, just to cap us off. Abienstein Arts asks, has a little coda here. What power makes this Superman special to y'all? Mine personally is that he's not affected by kryptonite because in the comics he's overly exposed to the sun rays. Yeah, which they do here in a fun way.

Starting point is 00:27:51 I think I always really liked and I liked it again and how they did it here. Like the three times power also meant three times empathy, three times intelligence, three times. I like that it is. that it isn't just a power set that gets upped because Superman's ability to process data

Starting point is 00:28:10 is also heightened because he's Superman, but then that's also heightened because he's overpowered. So I liked the processing of like what that would be for all things. Yeah. That's a great answer. I don't think I could answer better. I think the only thing I'll throw in is I just loved the acknowledgement here of the brief interrogation of like, wait a minute, but how are you Superman when you were helping out Clark in court or whatever? I was like, I had Batman. Well, how are you Superman here? I had a robot. So, like, I don't know, being...

Starting point is 00:28:41 I think that's an element that doesn't... It's an element of fun. It's weird. Like, I feel like those elements of fun can be off and overlooked in Superman stuff, and I'm like that. It just reminded me of something else to appreciate about the joy of beholding the more whimsical aspects of a character like this.

Starting point is 00:28:57 And too, just, yeah, his conscientiousness. It's not really like in his characterization, but the way like, yeah, Yeah, he's showing Lois his, like, confiscation-gated room of weapons and, you know, thinks to bring the gravity gun because the gravity is going to accelerate the time thing. Like, his intellect really stood out here. Yeah. And, uh, two, I really liked his super thoughtfulness in making her like, I love that reversal of like, oh, my God, his secret torture lab. And then it turns out I'm just making you a nice gift. Paranoid gas is caused the super suit. Yeah, I loved all that.

Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah. So, like, I'm used to seeing the tender side through Clark. So it was cool to see the tender side through. Superman. Yeah, and check off Gravity Gun. That was all the fun, really enjoyed All-Star Superman. Please let us know in the comments below what you think. I love the question of what we think we might see incorporated into the Superman film.
