Comic book fans have always wondered how Homelander would fare against the Last Son of Krypton given that their powers seem almost indistinguishable. Now, a seamless mashup of Amazon’s The Boys and footage from the DCEU’s Man of Steel teases how their confrontation could look like.
In terms of characteristics, Superman and John are nothing alike. One is a paragon of virtue, while the other is a narcissistic supervillain. One is a savior of the world as the strongest member of the Justice League, and the other a corporate crook who kills everyone that stands in his way. But even beyond these traits, there are some inherent differences between the two men, bestowed with godlike powers.
After all, Homelander was created inside a lab via a biological drug, whereas Clark Kent is an alien and owes his superpowers to the Sol System’s yellow sun. The Boys series have yet to show the leader of the Seven at his peak strength, but the process itself begs the question of whether Compound V can actually go toe-to-toe with Superman’s natural aptitudes.
The new fan trailer by Paradoxical Edits, who shared it on the fan trailers subreddit, doesn’t really focus on comparing the two iconic figures, though, and instead shows how a rivalry could form between them. If Kal-El somehow got wind of what goes on behind the scenes of Homelander’s splendor as a superhero/celebrity, he’d do something about it. I mean, it took less for him to go after Batman, so this wouldn’t be such a stretch of the imagination.
On the other hand, the Man of Steel has a well-known Achilles heel that the trailer depicts as well; kryptonite. The Boys hasn’t revealed any such weaknesses for Homelander in the context of the plot, and at this point, he is seemingly invincible. So, it’s interesting to speculate which would come out of this fight alive.
Who would you put your money on, though? Sound off below.
It’s fair to say that the casting of Robert Pattinson as the Dark Knight remains a controversial move for some fans, which largely seems to be an unfair reaction. Since taking on the role of Bruce Wayne for Matt Reeves’ delayed The Batman, Pattinson has been subject to unusual scrutiny over his attitude and fitness, something that hasn’t been helped by his recent COVID-19 infection. It’s useful, then, to remember why Pattinson signed on to play the Dark Knight, the details of which have been reviewed over at FandomWire.
According to the editorial, Pattinson wanted to take on the part due to the challenge of it having been previously filled by different actors. Moreover, he was reportedly keen to embrace the “downside” of the situation, wherein he had to find a new spin on the character that hasn’t been tackled by Keaton, Kilmer, Bale, Affleck, at al. This particular editorial somewhat odd, though, in that it cites Pattinson’s “post-Vampire Diaries” career (we’re assuming this was supposed to be Twilight), and infers that the performer wants to get back on top after a run of art-house films.
However, it’s always worth reminding ourselves that Pattinson is a talented actor who will bring a different energy to Bruce Wayne, and one that’s well-suited to a movie that will go back to the early years of Batman. Despite various rumors about Pattinson being hard to work with on set, or not being in shape, we’re still confident that he will deliver and prove critics wrong. Indeed, Pattinson has been pretty philosophical about the scrutiny he’s been placed under, so seems able to rise above it.
Meanwhile, The Batman appears to be finally back on track after several coronavirus-enforced delays, although it will now premiere on March 4th, 2022, rather than it’s expected October 1st, 2021 release date. We’d hope to see a full-length trailer soon, though, as audiences gear up for a long wait to see whether Reeves and Pattinson can create a special take on the franchise.
