from Surely You Can't Be Serious Podcast · host Surely You Can't Be Serious PC

This week on the Surely You Can’t Be Serious Podcast, Jason and Dee are joined by special guest Jeff Johnson of the A Filmm By podcast to tackle one of the most debated comic book films of the 2000s — Superman Returns (2006). The guys break down the pros, the cons, the behind-the-scenes trivia, and ultimately ask the big question: what the heck happened? Why didn’t this highly anticipated return to the Man of Steel soar the way audiences and critics hoped?But we don’t stop in 2006. Jason, Dee, and Jeff also dive into their thoughts on the latest DC outing, Superman (2025), giving their candid first impressions of how the new film stacks up to past attempts at rebooting the iconic character.And finally, the guys give their Final Judgment: which movie is the better watch — Joel Schumacher’s neon-fueled Batman & Robin (1997) or Bryan Singer’s nostalgic Superman Returns (2006)? Grab your cape and your kryptonite, because this episode is faster than a speeding bullet and packed with laughs, debates, and geeky goodness!
