more on

in just a
bit
I'm excited.
You ready to go?
I am always ready,
Coy.
Roll the thing.
Let's get unbound.
In three.
Two.
All right, gang.
So, as stated before,
we're going to answer some questions
regarding this film from the patrons,
and then we're going to hop into our comprehensive review and thoughts.
just got the text.
Coy is not a liar.
True.
All right.
Sci-fi extremist.
Thanks for contributing an inquiry.
Let's see if we're brainiacs enough to have an answer for you.
What's a DC comic storyline or arc that you'd love to see get an animated adaptation, specifically an animated?
Specifically animated.
I want to see this live back.
Specifically animated.
I would love to see Superboy.
and knockout in Hawaii.
Oh.
That's a little arc
that got me
into Superboy in a big way.
I would love to see,
oh, no, no, I take it back.
I take it back.
I take it back.
I take it back.
I got two.
Okay.
I want to see
Kyle Rainer Green Lantern
and his whole journey
of becoming Green Lantern.
Fun.
And I think his,
so his power,
like the willpower
the green lantern is essential.
Like,
that's the whole thing.
But he's the most creative
Green Lantern because he's an artist.
So his,
his fabrications are always like
extra like,
interesting versus just like punches and weapons. So I think that'd be fun for animation to like make it, you know, that that lean into the creativity. So I'm gonna go Kyle Rainer, uh, his origin and, and some of his early stuff. Okay, Kyle Rainer. I see you out here riding for the less, uh, name, you know, recognizable supers. You know, I know you're also a big Ben Riley for you. I gotta earn my street cred. So, uh, not bad. Okay. I mean, you guys know me. Obviously it's gonna be something like man spider or man bat. But I will say if I'm thinking of a comic book that I have read, uh,
or a graphic novel that I would love to see
translated into an animated film.
I think it would be really cool to see one based on
thrill killer.
Oh.
That's sort of like Elseworld Z art deco
like noir story where the Joker's like
this woman who heads up a nightclub and stuff like that.
And yeah, like I'm a real big fan of like, you know,
aesthetics crashed together and comic books that yeah,
like obviously jump into like cinematic terrain
and borrow from stuff like that.
just remember. Again, I'm a sucker for like
interesting art. And that
book also has a lot of interesting art.
So yeah, that's... I like that question.
That's how extreme is... That's probably what I would choose
off the dome, Mr. Extreme.
But thanks for contributing.
And hey, gang, if you're playing along at home,
you're watching this video and you're
still here paying attention, leave your
ideal animated adaptation
down in the comics. Because yeah, comments
and in the... Go pick up a comic
and leave a comment on the comics.
But too, yeah, like if you brought
that art style. Again, in our previous Superman video, I called out, like, those Marvel's
comics, those like old, again, like 50s style, like very like painted looking comics or serious
house on serious earth, the Arkham Asylum book. I love. Yeah, books that have like a really
crazy wild art style I would love to see made in that art style. In that art style. Yeah,
into a moving thing. But I feel like if you, if you gave me the budget right now for one, as much as I would
love to say like, oh yeah, make Arkham
or whatever. I'm like, I think
Thrill Killer would be the one I would agree with first.
But that's just where I'm starting
out. Let's see. Who's else?
We got DJ Kento. Thank you
for chiming in and taking an interest.
It's a two-part question. Oh? So part one.
Who has the better hideout now?
Superman with his menagerie
of creatures and the fucking
Titanic, fully recovered and
restored from the bottom of the ocean
or Batman with his giant penny
and T-Rex.
I gotta go Batman always.
Superman has a Titanic.
When did this happen?
Fairly recently in the grand scale of 70 years.
What is the purpose of it?
It's like it's using...
Is he the James Cameron of superheroes?
He's like, I've got really had a soft spot for this.
Also the menagerie of all the creatures and stuff.
But to me, Batman having the coin and all the costumes and like, there's something
really interesting about the psychology of Batman taking like totems.
Like, there's something interesting about.
like claiming prizes from his yeah i've also kind of seen it as batman's innocence lost like when he was a kid
he never got the chance to collect because he was so busy learning so now as an adult he collects and it's like
those are like totems of adulthood so they're like more sophisticated but it is the same as a kid collecting stuff
so instead of like a coin collection it's a giant penny instead of dinosaurs is a full skeleton so i've always i've always seen that
as like batman psychology externalized i mean batman the bat cave at all
is really hard to beat.
Yeah, just of anything.
You know, in true Gemini fashion,
partly I'm like, it's just, you know,
one for each mood.
If I'm like, you know,
if I want to hunker down and get dank
and like, you know, mess with some cool gadgets,
I'm going to the back cave.
If I need some solitude and I need to kind of be
in that pristine, crystalline aesthetic,
if I need to bring myself up that way
and sort of center myself,
I would go to the fortress of solitude.
I guess just for contrast,
I'm going to say Fortress of Solitudes
so that we have different answers.
Fair.
But Menagerie of Creatures,
the thing is, like,
I mostly know the Fortress of Solitude
from the glimpses we've gotten
in these movies,
and the glimpses we've gotten in the...
Wow!
There it is.
I want to deep dive on this.
Read All-Star Superman first.
All right.
And that's one in your street before the movie...
I am actually, yeah, I've got my copy.
Titanic.
Yeah, okay.
You'll see.
What is it?
His menagerie of creatures?
He's got a lot of creatures?
They're in the way that can be.
is, you'll see.
Okay.
But, like,
it's a similar vein
to the candor thing.
Okay.
All right.
Depending on the day,
Fortress of Solitude,
but I think we're,
I'm a good back cave.
I think we're both truly in the back cave.
I bet Bat Caves got great speakers too.
Probably.
Oh, my God.
He's got tweeters and subwoofers in every,
dark corner.
Every shadowy corner you can't see it to speak.
Blop,
blah,
yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He brings Alfred down there every few weeks.
Check out this new record I got.
Listen to the base.
Danny Elthman.
Follow-up question.
What are your thoughts
on the very alien,
very brilliant version
of Superman we see here?
He's not the big,
dumb blue Boy Scout here.
He's kind of a genius.
In this?
I assume in this.
That's what I'm getting.
I love that he thinks outside the box.
I really like the way he fights
is tactical.
I really enjoy that it's being a very world aware.
I mean,
I've always loved that the difficult part
about being Superman is you're always hearing everything.
It's choosing your battles.
like everyone someone's always in peril
you can't save everyone and he wants to do just that
so the constant overwhelm of
those powers and weaponizing that I love
so yeah tactician and all that stuff
here is fantastic I dig this Superman
I thought this was a fantastic take
yeah I mean I really like a lot of the takes that we've seen
on the characters through these animated
movies especially this one I really liked
a lot partly because
there's stuff about him that feels
a little
I like the endearing sort of
clumsy Clark Kent
And yeah, I like the dichotomy of that.
This one, there's a little less awshucksonness to Clark.
Like, Clark seems pretty competent.
And there's something about the way they tempered Clark, Superman, at all here that was like a nice middle ground.
He told Brady Act to go to hell, which I feel like not every version of Superman would do.
That I agree with.
And I feel like that's a choice that could easily ring sour.
sure and I kind of bought it here and yeah like I feel like this it's funny going off last week where we had you know the interrogation of like what is Superman for a modern era like this watching this just felt like I was beholding the characterization of a Superman begat by a modern era yeah it doesn't feel like it's trying to fit into today it just is today yeah it doesn't feel like it's trying to subvert or shun the classic tenets of the character but it's also doing something a little more
more mature or a little bit more, yeah, sharp in terms of the detective and the out-of-the-box
thinking side of things, which I'm sure there's a lot of two Superman anyway.
Superman is also clever.
But, yeah, I really like the characterization here.
And I thought it was a nice middle ground because there's still, like, a couple lovely beats with Ma and Paw Kent.
I really liked his back and forth with Lois.
You know, it's not full-on, like, edge-lord Superman, but I feel like people who want an
edge-year Superman and people who like a classic Superman.
could both get into this.
2008, the comic came out.
The original comic, and then this, I think this adaptation is from 2013.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I think you're exactly right.
Like, it's applicable, but not too edgy, but it does suit both fandoms.
Yeah, and without having to be a, like, I like a commentary.
I like a deconstruction, but we don't always have to do that.
We have to construct sometimes to deconstruct.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
I, to talk about the actual film itself, now that we're through the questions.
We've already started a bit, but I really...
Thanks to Preper for cutting down these highlights once again.
Sorry, and then we'll go.

Ruby, Superman.
Superman Unbound.
I think this is my favorite Superman animated.
Because I really think my love of the comic,
I haven't read it since probably 2008-2009.
I don't know if I picked it up weekly back then
or if I picked it up like when it was done.
I don't remember when I read it,
but I know I haven't read it recently.
And I remember loving the, uh,
the art.
And I remember learning about Geiger and not putting together that it was Jeff
Johns and Gary Frank.
I didn't know Gary Frank by name in 2008.
Uh,
I'm really good with artists now.
And I was really good with a lot of artists then,
but I didn't know Gary Frank then.
So I didn't go,
oh, a Gary Frank work.
And I remember thinking like,
this art is so good and not knowing the person's name.
So then when Geiger came out,
looking into the duo and I was like,
wait, that comic that I liked, the Brainiac one.
So that all came piece together in the last like three years and then seeing this
was cool because I wasn't sure this would be a one-to-one.
And obviously a few things change here and there, but it was really cool to revisit this
now.
I can't wait to reread it again.
I love how much lore it covers with like the Lois and Clark story.
And like, you know, they're trying to fit in each other's lives in the right way that
supports each other.
I love how much it has the Daily Planet staff as,
as an important supporting characters.
I love how much Kara is like the young, new to Metropolis, Kara.
It definitely is the Michael Turner outfit.
It reminds me also of like the nature, nurture of them too.
I talk all the time about Supergirl Woman Tomorrow.
I love in that comic it shows the difference between why Superman is the wholesome one and she has
rougher edges.
And this did that in a really great way without sacrificing that she's still good.
And I like that she was still able to be afraid whilst still being strong.
And I think they did a great job.
with Lois and Supergirl here.
And those are two characters
that are often written poorly.
I also think Lombard was spectacular.
My man.
Lombard.
I'm glad you got to introduce.
Lombard.
And Beck Bennett's going to crush, dude.
Oh my God.
He's going to be,
yeah.
Yeah.
We interviewed him.
And it was so funny because,
like,
we were pronouncing Lombard.
And I was like,
I think it's Lombard.
Like,
we were back and forth pronouncing on camera,
Lombard,
Lombard.
Because it's like in writing.
You don't hear it a lot.
And the animation,
like sometimes they have different pronunciations,
but just back talking about his mustache, I was like, correct.
I was going to say, how many iterations are there of Lombards?
I mean, the animation.
Or is that pretty, is he pretty much always that guy?
Oh, he's that guy.
Okay.
But I don't seem an animation nearly as much as I'd like to.
And what's cool is Kat Grants in here, kind of two sides of a similar coin of she's the
gossip columnist that plays her dumbness up when she's actually smart.
Sure.
And so people.
Was she the Daphne looking one, I assume?
So she didn't really get a moment, but she's a talk, but.
She is usually blonde, but I think in this one, they made her that.
But basically, she'll use people thinking less of her as her strength, whereas he's the inverse, where he thinks he's smart and he's dumb.
So those two are really fun at The Daily Planet.
And like this used one of them really well to build out the planet, I think.
Yeah, totally.
And I like when they take the time for those additional characters and stuff like that.
And when they make, I don't know, it seems like a hokey thing maybe to say now.
But when you get those, those things are like classic comic books to me is sort of.
like you have the ensemble of like,
here are the people at the day.
I feel like it's easier in this day and age
and in movies to be like,
we don't need to spend time
at the Daily Planet very much.
We don't need to spend time
with the Kent's very much.
We wouldn't have the Murta's
if they made Lethal Weapon today.
Like the whole Murta family.
Sure.
Is you've seen them?
Do we get a deep know?
Oh, that's right.
You get a deep dive into the family life of...
Every lethal weapon has
20 to 30 minutes
of just Danny Glover's family.
Let's go.
The cast stays throughout four films.
So even the smallest supporting
character. We see grow up over 15, 20 years. And you're so connected to this family. And that's
the point of the movies. It's about like found family. And you actually get to know that family.
And like there's, um, there's like a stickers and magnets on the fridge that affect the next storyline.
Like there's world building about a family that isn't our leads. Now, Danny Clever's obviously
lead with, with rigs. But like that's group, they don't have to focus on that. And they do.
No. And this feels like that. And that stuff goes a long way. And two, in a superhero environment, I always feel like,
Doing a couple things to help the people down on the streets.
And, yeah, like spending time if it's a Superman story or a Spider-Man story at the paper.
Yeah.
Like, that stuff helps to build out the whole conversation that superhero stuff, I think, is always kind of involved in.
And, too, yeah, it's just the kind of the classics, the vibe.
Perry White, Jimmy old, Jimmy Pants.
Jimmy Pants. But, yeah.
A young Joe Pateliano.
Yes, if only, man.
If we can only get a baby Joey pants in a...
Is he acting young?
I mean, like he's like Morgan Freeman.
I wonder.
I think he's been 45 since I've known
and then it's last of us now he's 60 but it took a while.
Part of me was like cast him as Jimmy Olson now
and just never acknowledge that he's not
like a fresh-faced kid.
Joey Pan.
Make it hello fellow children.
Yeah, this was really, really fun though.
And yeah, this had a really nice blend to me of
yeah, modern sensibility
mixed with some classic iconography
and some classic ideas
combined with a really cool sci-fi edge
been reading some like 80s paperback
sci-fi novels lately
and I'm generally like
kind of enamored with that aesthetic
the various sort of future
retrofuturistic
you know types of arts that certainly
have been alive in comics and here yeah like seeing
what um what is the
Kryptonian city called
candor like seeing candor like seeing
candor and seeing even glimpses at the other
cities that he's plucked up and everything
just like a really fun design sense
I really loved again the translation as you've
showed me the of the artwork into this you know not live action but moving medium and two as like
uh we've probably seen something along the road where brainiac is factored in somehow but i feel
like this is my kind of first major brainiac experience all right rejagnation summers here in
between workouts filming traveling stain hydrated has never felt more important i actually get really
excited to talk about these guys because i use them every single day yes i've mentioned it
in several videos. At the start of this year, I weighed 218. I basically dropped about 42 pounds
thus far starting January 25th. And if there's one thing I've learned during this entire fitness
journey, proper hydration makes a huge difference in how you feel and how you perform. It really
does matter. And my go-to is the sponsor Liquid Ivy. I'm just a very fortunate guy who gets to
work with brands that I had already been using. A lot of my diet consists of a lot of no-sugar
added and this is their sugar-free hydration multiplier it's been great my go-to is the raspberry lemonade i've
also tried their arctic raspberry and that thing is clean refreshing no fake aftertaste there are
definitely moments where i'm hit with fatigue or that midday slump i think you guys all know how
that feels and genuinely a lot of the time a hydration boost like this does more to turn my
energy and move around more than a caffeine or some stimulant one stick 16 ounces of water
It hydrates better than water alone.
Sometimes I mix it with my protein shakes as well.
The power by LIV Hydroscience, which is the ultimate fancy way of saying.
It's a precise mix of electrolytes, essential vitamins, and nutrients.
You get three times the electrolytes of the leaving sports drink and eight essential vitamins,
all in a non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free formula.
So whether I'm post-workout mid-shoot or just running errands at a 90-degree heat in Los Angeles,
this bad boy keeps me going.
So no matter what summer brings, tear, poor, live more.

Thank you again, Liquid Ivy for sponsoring this video and making my day to day so much better.
I will tell you my theatrical pitch off camera.
Okay.
All right.
I'm excited because this was so, this was really fun and Brainiac, at least as of this story, is a great villain to give you.
yeah, you have the hordes of his like skeleton Terminator robots that are scary and give you
means to have cool action. But like as a presence and as a motivation,
Brainiac was really cool and gripping and I was always drawn in by his layer. And the fact that
when you're in the layers, like he's in total control and everything Superman is trying, no matter
how confident he is, seems to only work for a minute if it works at all. And bringing it down
to this idea that yeah, you have all this knowledge that you've acquired from,
these specific slices of worlds that you've then removed from their natural environment.
You've made them unnatural now by doing what you're doing.
And you've left this sort of gaping a hole in your knowledge, which is the nuance of
experience.
And yeah, when he brings him down into the swamp and it's like the buzzing and the car horn
and the kids playing and just everything is getting louder and louder.
And, you know, he's experiencing life for the first time.
Yeah.
Yeah, and becoming engulfed in this mud, like literally being engulfed by the natural world and then shorting out due to that.
And like, yeah, instead of Superman's brain being scrambled by the weight of, you know, a thousand worlds being pumped through it.
It's just the sensory experience of one world to bring this guy to his knees.
It's the thing he said to him.
Even one world would sludgeify your mind.
And did it.
And, yeah, and two, yeah, like balancing that stuff with the Kara story.
I really liked her struggle, her motivation.
Like, I bought both, I think it was really smart to do like, yeah, who's saving the day at the top of this?
It's Kara.
She's coming to save Lois, cool action with the helicopters and stuff.
And then, yeah, after that, we get the stakes heightener of her going, I know who's coming and this is really bad.
And I don't want any part of this.
And I believed, yeah, like you said, her attitude is different and her sensibility is certainly not Clark's, not Superman's.
but that and like she's the kind of character that can be written in a fashion that is annoying and I was never I was always in her perspective I was always sympathizing with her I really liked the characterization here and yeah like the fact that Lois in that moment after being like you know you can't just run away from this she takes the time to be like you know what I can't even imagine how terrifying and horrible that was and like you have every right to feel the way that you do and I'm not going to chastise you right now for not just jumping into it.
to the fight. They did that really good job with everyone's arcs, I think, having, like, Superman, the reason he realized how much he needed Lois to feel protected, but also not smother her and, like, using a planetary scale. Lois, realizing that Clark needs to protect her, but also she needs to be able to be her own woman and, like, how her independence is important to her, but, like, they have to play each other's levels. Kara being afraid of something and, like, using that as animosity, but then finding a softness in it and, like, using her fear and not letting fear ruler. Like, everyone's arc here was really solid, and it never betrayed the character.
And I also want to give flowers to the directing, which was so captivating and interesting.
There were so many.
I mean, John jumped like six times.
I did.
And there was really effective.
The directing.
The background background.
And the sound design, we both clocked a few times.
Yeah.
So the score, the sound design, the directing, all this stuff that makes it different than a comic.
Like, you know what I mean?
I love the comic story.
It's already there.
But the things that elevate this into this medium and change it from that medium, they did
a really good job.
Um, you know, that medium has strengths.
This medium has strengths.
they use the strengths of animation really well here.
Did you catch what year this movie came?
2012 or 2013?
Because it also struck me that we, again,
there's a lot of different approaches to animation over time,
and I'm wondering where we are in terms of animation
just as a medium technologically.
2013's 12 years ago.
Because this one looked a lot nicer than some.
This looked a lot layers and felt lived in.
This looked a lot more classically animated to me,
because again, it's like it had all those backgrounds
that looked like, oh, great old,
like great plate pastel drawings or watercolors or things that felt tangible and then you have
the sort of classic animated movie looking quality of the characters with the occasional use of
CGI for like a big ship or a you know helicopter perspective shot or whatever and uh it was nice
just as an animation fan to you know there are a lot of these movies that i've really loved and
enjoyed and some have more detailed richer art than others and i feel like this movie made
a few choices that were pretty interesting
in terms of like doing slow frame rate
or yeah just having these environments
that you could take the characters
out of and just like hang up on a wall as
a as a picture. I uh this came
out the year after the last one we watched
I was gonna say so this is like 12
was that one and then this one I was Superman elite
so you said this one Superman Unbound
is like one of your top 10
one of the top 10 of the DC animated
I liked versus the elite but like I wouldn't
put in top 10 like it was good
it's like middle 10 or bottom 10
low middle 10
we've watched a lot
we have watched a lot
but what's crazy is
on letterboxed
unbound as a 3.0
and versus the elite
has a 3.5
wow
so people like the other one
quite a substantial amount more
I mean
versus the elite is certainly
like I think a very
striking
conversation about the concept
of Superman
which is very striking
which like
I just love me some brainiac
well that's the thing though
is like I'm sitting here going like
on the one hand
I would rank
Superman versus the elite in hindsight
of all of a week
you know like pretty highly
because I liked what it was doing and especially
at the here and now I was like oh wow this is like
the conversation to have
especially in the current climate
but also this felt like
some I don't know they're like two halves of a
two sides of a coin
they're very different this one is very much
yeah the conversation outside of super
elite is very much the conversation
outside of Superman encompassed within Superman
and then this felt like it was completely
contained to the world. Yeah. It wasn't
really like doing meta or breaking the walls
or anything like that, but it was doing like a really
interesting story about
yeah, the nature of knowledge
and experience among other things.
Which is so Superman to me. And I get the
truth justice, the better tomorrow of the last
one. But I feel like this is a harder
story to tell or a less told story.
No, I love this. And like as a story
again, contained to the world and not
asking the outer
probing questions. Like, you
don't always have to do that. And I thought what this did inside the world was like super
gripping and striking. And in a way, I appreciate that some, in some ways more, because
it's just the thing being the thing. Right. If that makes sense. So like this, yeah, just felt like a
Superman Brainiac story, being a Superman brain, brainiac story and communicating to me, the
nube, sort of what that can be. And now I'm like, I'm excited to see another brainiac story.
Because this was really, I love him. Striking. And I loved, yeah, like, there are,
elements where you can go like oh it's kind of like galactus or like you know kind of reminiscent of like oh there's the silver shiny harbinger for the big planet eating dude uh but you know in different ways and then the the theme of the character who the actual character is the characterization was fun and striking and i bought the game of wits between them just as much as all the physical stuff and i like that both were important like they let the fighting be dynamic and they let the game of wits be dynamic um i uh what's it called uh we've watched 33
before our break. Now, two, we've watched
35. 35. That's what I was checking
up on. Not bad. Not too shabby.
Well, we don't want this review to be as long as the movie.
That's easy to do. We're approaching
it now. But yeah, we've watched
35 of these now. I would put
this one in my top 10. I believe
this is a top of me. I would say. Yeah.
And that didn't even have John Constantine
in it. And that's a lot of my top 10.
You know, we love the Constance. We love the
Constantine. And the Batman v. Turtles. Oh,
so Batman eats pizza. Oh, man.
That was, that still, still
And then X-Men 97.
He went on to do that.
That is going to do it for this.
Superman Unbound Experience.
Please leave a comment below.
We're back in this journey.

Bye all.
David.
David. David. David.
Mommy.
What to say about David.
Guy's been here for years now.
And he's never left.
He's our surrogate father.
We are like in some ways it feels that way.
you're one of the first people out of people who follow us and support us to like actually
drive down to come see us and uh to hang out with you actually take you out to lunch and i i get
when i think of you i think of sitting across from you and watching you listen and finding this
like some people have a surreal experience when they meet like a celebrity like oh my god they're
looking at me like i had that recently when i was fortunate enough to meet me
Harrison Ford, thanks to Roxy.
And it's kind of that, but not like a celebrity way.
It is just, I remember that was that feeling of, you were like,
this is someone who, like, contributes money to us and follows us
and has been so kind with his time and messages.
And he's sitting across from me right now.
And so I have his, like, surreal emotion associated with it.
And appreciate you for never leaving us.
You have been faithful and unconditional.
for many years now, so thank you.
And too, I mean, not only are you generous with us and, you know, our interactions directly,
but I don't know, like, especially for all the people that I do catch glimpses of just out here in the world.
Like, I don't know, you're an inspiring guy, you know, you're a bit unassuming,
and I remember when we first met thinking, like, oh, does this guy even like us?
And yet, you know, you're someone who's quietly out here doing so many different things
and being creative with so many of your different interests, and that inspires.
me to want to just be more creative and to be more of a citizen of whatever group I find
myself in because you are absolutely good at doing that at being like an actual sort of
citizen of this little group that we have built and you know it wouldn't be possible to
have built it without folks like you who are again so just generous and also you know you
have such a dedication I guess I would say and it's an honor to be subject to that
dedication, so thank you.
