Following the success of Tim Burton’s Batman 1989 movie, Warner Bros commissioned the Kevin Smith to write a new take on the Man Of Steel, directed by Tim Burton. Complete with giant spiders, polar bears, and more, this movie would have been a very interesting take on the Man of Steel. But this movie would never see the light of day as WB would can the movie after the bomb of batman and Robin. Join the Comics League crew as they do a deep dive into this film and if it would have been successful!

1. The plot of Superman Lives

2. Why it was canned

3. If this movie would have been successful
