In a preview for Superman '78: The Metal Curtain #1, something else has come from Krypton and crash landed in the former Soviet Union.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: contains potential spoilers for Superman '78: The Metal Curtain #1!Superman ‘78 reveals the missing piece of Christopher Reeve’s Man of Steel origin. For generations of movie-goers, Christopher Reeve’s portrayal of Superman remains the definitive version of the character, and DC has continued his adventures in the comic Superman ‘78.
Superman ‘78: The Metal Curtain #1 is written by Robert Venditti and drawn by Gavin Guidry with colors by Jordie Bellaire. The preview opens with Krypton’s explosion, and a spacecraft zooming away from the doomed planet. It comes to Earth, crash landing on a farm. All this time, readers are tricked into thinking this is merely a retelling of Superman’s origin. However, this is not Kal-El’s ship, but another one, and it has landed in the former Soviet Union, where it was found by an old farmer.
The First Superman Film Is Still the Template for All Comic Book Movies Close The first Superman film, released in 1978, was a landmark film, helping create the blueprint for every superhero movie that was to come. Directed by Richard Donner and also starring Marlon Brando as Jor-El, Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, Superman was a critical and box office success, spawning three sequels.
Who Crash Landed in the Soviet Union? Now DC has returned with a sequel that will expand upon Superman’s origin. The preview does not specify who, or what, was in the spacecraft that escaped Krypton’s destruction, but it was remarkably similar to the one that brought the infant Kal-El to Earth. The identity of whoever was in the spacecraft will play out across The Metal Curtain’s run, but there is some ground to speculate.
Grounding the next Superman ‘78 book against the backdrop of the Cold War gives it a timely feel. Nuclear annihilation was a big threat in the time of Superman ‘78 and The Metal Curtain asks what would have happened had the Soviet Union had their own version of the Man of Steel. The Soviet Union having their own Superman is not a new story, as seen in the popular Elseworlds story Red Sun. Yet here, it will not be Kal-El who fights for Russia, but another Kryptonian, maybe even his cousin.
