Superman Lives - Nicolas Cage as Superman

For years images have been popping up of different conceptual work and unique costume designs that would have been intended for a theatrical release of "Superman Lives" back in 1999. We can call it all conceptual since it never manifested. We have seen neon suits, plastic bubble musculature suits, wicked sculpting and some simply strange images of Nicolas Cage in a suit that looked like it was made solely out of puff paint... scary.

  John Schnepp is a director on Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse and Venture Bros., provided the W is for WTF segment for ABCs of Death and worked with Upright Citizens Brigade in making their TV pilot. I don’t suppose there’s anything that could seem out of place in such a varied resume, but his next project – Kickstarter willing – is certainly newsworthy.  Here’s Schnepp pitching a documentary on Superman Lives, the Tim Burton-directed, Kevin Smith co-scripted, Nicolas Cage-starring Superman movie that never quite was.  There’s a lot of promise there. In fact, there are a few promises in particular that I think Schnepp might find it hard to deliver on. He’s telling us flat out who he’ll interview but there’s no indication that any of these folk will want to be interviewed.  What’s more, I think Schnepp’s attitude that this film is just “weird” won’t do him any favours with some of those interview subjects either.  Still, I’d like to see an actual film about this near-film. Not as much as I would have liked to see the film itself, but still.  You can support Schnepp with a donation to his Kickstarter. For $1000 you can even buy your way into the documentary and get this platform to voice your take on Superman Lives.


Just recently a new image of Cage in a more traditional yet Burtonesque rubberized suit has surfaced. Original images were in a super low quality archive sepia but I recolored these versions.

UPDATES: Man of Steel Toys Leaked | Zod Revealed!!!

Well, it's happened again. More leaks from a show in France  and a new premature Ebay auction show a few more figures we can expect to see in the coming months.

We have some additional perspective on the 5" figures. We'll be sure to see an array of Superman variants showcasing different super powers ala Superman Returns as well as a few deco variants and accessory heavy compositions. Here we have Moto Assault Superman... the foes can only get get bigger from here.

These packaging shots do seem to lean the previously thought 5" figures to more of a 3.75" presence though such as Marvel Universe... but we'll see!!!
