Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
Movieline reports that General Zod will be the leading villain in the upcoming Superman movie. It's an interesting story strategy, since Lex Luthor would be too obvious a choice by now. First played by Terence Stamp in 1980's Superman 2, Zod will be played this time by Michael Shannon.

I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.

Zod is not only one of Superman’s most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don’t. Michael is a powerful actor who can project both the intelligence and the malice of the character, making him perfect for the role.
Zod is a good choice, and I'm glad he'll be updated for the new decade. I'm sure his recent "Smallville" arc helped in getting the role.
Let us try to refrain from any "Kneel Before Zod" jokes. And yet, it's so tempting....
Don't even think it, Killer Moth. This is a family blog.
