This episode of the Superman Confidential podcast will examine the recent news in the world of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, including The Suicide Squad, DC Fandome, Superman ’78, and tons of home media news.
Superman was considered to be in The Suicide Squad in early idea – Script Apart interview via ComicBook.com
- Writer/Director James Gunn – “There was a time when I thought The Suicide Squad should fight Superman. At the time, there were a lot of questions like, ‘Who is Superman in the DCEU? Is this movie outside the DCEU? I just didn’t want to deal with it all that much.”
- With IGN – “Bloodsport is in prison for putting Superman into the ICU with a kryptonite bullet. Yes, The Suicide Squad is a part of the DCEU, but I don’t know which Superman it was because I don’t cast the next Superman. So it could be Henry [Cavill]; it could be somebody else. It’s whoever people decide on other than me.”
