There is almost no one in the world who doesn’t know Superman – one of the most iconic characters in the history of not just comic books, but media in general. Superman began as one of several anthology features in the National Periodical Publications’ comic book Action Comics #1 in June 1938 and in no time, became an iconic character. Interestingly enough, Christopher Reeve was recently featured in an epic DC fan art.
Being a comic book character, it comes as no surprise there are almost innumerable iterations of everyone’s favorite Kryptonite, with mixed reception over the past several decades. Even then, Christopher Reeve’s is seen as one of the best of all time.
DC Art Reveals How Christopher Reeve’s Superman Would Look Teaming Up With Other Classic Batman And Wonder Woman Actors
Fan arts are one of the most common things in the world of comic books, movies or anything else for that matter. Therefore, it comes as no surprise a new fan art featuring Christopher Reeve as Superman, Michael Keaton as Batman and Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman is now making rounds on social media.
The fan art shows just how great the trio could have looked, had they been able to work together, but alas – it was not to be.
Beetlejuice 2 Receives Michael Keaton’s Seal of Approval
The year before taking on the role of the dark, brooding vigilante, Michael Keaton starred as the titular character in Tim Burton’s acclaimed horror-comedy Beetlejuice, which catapulted Burton to prominence. While fans were understandably concerned about whether the upcoming sequel would capture the original’s magic, Keaton reassured them that it does indeed live up to the original.
Reflecting on his time returning to the role after 36 years on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, the Batman Star described the upcoming film as fun, visually stunning, and emotional. Keaton expressed that he wasn’t ready for how great it was, stating that he is planning to watch it again “after a couple of little tweaks in the editing room”.
“[Beetlejuice 2] is beautiful, physically. The other one was so fun and exciting visually, it’s all that but really beautiful and interestingly emotional here and there. I wasn’t ready for that. It’s great. It’s just so fun and I’ve seen it now. I’m going to see it again after a couple of little tweaks in the editing room, and I confidently say this thing is great.”
Since the release of the first film in 1988, there has been a significant shift in the technology used in the film industry, with CGI advancements often sidelining the art of puppetry. However, despite this trend, Michael Keaton previously expressed that he and Burton aimed for the sequel to maintain a handmade feel and avoid relying too heavily on technology. He stated (via THR):
“It had to feel handmade. What made it fun was watching somebody in the corner actually holding something up for you, to watch everybody in the shrunken head room and say, ‘Those are people under there, operating these things, trying to get it right.’”
With the film still set to undergo a few tweaks in the editing room, fans will hope the final cut remains true to Keaton’s positive experience.
