Warning : contain spoilers forSuperman ' 78 # 2 !
ThoughMan of Steelwas give up in 2013 , the controversial themes within the film come along pop enough to warrant insertion into currentSupermanstories - even if those stories are from the past times . TheZack Snyder motion-picture show that insert the DCEUto the world reinterpret Superman as a social outcast who did n’t always gibe in with others . Now inSuperman ' 78 # 2,written by Robert Venditti with graphics by Wilfredo Torres and colors by Jordie Bellaire , Christopher Reeve ’s interlingual rendition of the Man of Tomorrow appears to echo the same opinion .
Superman ' 78is a continuation of Richard Donner ’s classicSupermanfilm , famously starring Marlon Brando as Jor - El and Christopher Reeve as the nominal hero . Reeve ’s likeness is used for the book , along with Donner ’s general aesthetic , as Superman receive an unsung foe from the stars : a robotic picket sent by Brainiac . With few options , Superman enlists the assistance of Lex Luthorto apply his genius and imagination to analyze the spotter ’s head - but it ’s too late . Brainiac , the so - called " preserver and cataloger of all biography " has arrived .

Brainiac disseminate a message to all citizenry across the satellite . He warns humanity that the world is threatened ; an incursive metal money has hidden among them . “Its physical coming into court enable it to blend in with your form . It is not your kind,“Brainiac announces to Lex Luthor , Superman , and the entirety of Earth . “It is Kryptonian . “As Brainiac launches countless more drones from his ship to search high and low for Superman , one can not help oneself but equate this fit to an eerily - standardised scenario in 2013’sMan of Steel .
InMan of Steel , General Zodappears before mankind on every electronic equipment ( as well as broadcasting in multiple words ) and warns the planet that Superman is in concealing on Earth . “He will have made exploit to blend in . He will see like you , but he is not one of you . “Though Superman ’s classic backstory always began with an babe Kal - El arrive from a distant planet , DC has made an effort to accent Superman ’s position as an alien ; the fact that no matter how much helookslike a homo , he will neverbehuman . Clark inMan of Steelknows this , and from an former old age , appears morose and distant whenever the subject of his straight parentage is land up .
alas , while different interpretations of Superman keep the character alive and relevant for the current genesis , the Christopher Reeve Superman is far from the introspective and soul - searching Superman ofMan of Steel . Reeve ’s iteration of the case is almost wholly altruistic , affirmative and the epitome of the 40s ideal of a Cuban sandwich . Man of Steelradically changedSuperman , but it ca n’t retroactively utilize those changesto Richard Donner ’s classicSuperman , no matter how much DC would wish it to be the sheath .
