This is kind of funny timing (I obviously didn’t do so well with a certain national anthem that’ll show up well past, say, Independence Day). (Here I should remind readers out there I generally compose these things well in advance as far as selecting songs and compiling videos.) I just saw Superman last night, in opening weekend. It’s pretty great, though certainly a very different cinematic vision of the character than we’ve ever seen, a huge contrast with its immediate predecessor, last officially depicted in JusticeLeague (though he cameos in BlackAdam, very very ironically similar to the new film). The complicated production of JusticeLeague famously led to different cuts. The theatrical version, which this song opens, was completed by Joss Whedon, though the song and moment feels very much like Zack Snyder’s work. In Snyder’s version the song has been omitted.
My Chemical Romance doesn’t get nearly enough love, being a latter day rock band (seriously, TheBlackParade is great). Gerard Way also made a great career for himself in comics.
