Lobo on Lobo: An Interview with Jason Momoa of ‘Supergirl’

June 25, 2026 Mike Manalo

It has been a lifelong dream for Jason Momoa to play Lobo: The Main Man! Originally first brought on by Zack Snyder to perplexingly play Aquaman, once the DC Universe was completely reset by James Gunn and Peter Safran, Momoa was finally given the chance to step up as the role he was born to play! Now, with Lobo finally making his big screen debut in this summer’s Supergirl, we couldn’t resist paying homage to help the charismatic badass celebrate the role of a lifetime!

NOC Review: ‘Supergirl’ is the Best Blockbuster of the Summer

June 24, 2026June 24, 2026 Mike Manalo

It’s been a surprising summer for audiences, with surefire blockbusters like The Mandalorian and Grogu and Disclosure Day being met with vitriol and middling or underwhelming returns by mainstream audiences. While potential crowd-pleasers like Toy Story 5 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are on the horizon, audiences still seem disappointed in big budget studio blockbusters. Thankfully, like the Kryptonian shield of the House of El symbolizes, I have hope that Supergirl will help save the summer.

Back in 2023, when James Gunn and Peter Safran first announced their plans for the DCU, one of the projects they were most excited about was an adaptation of Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Now the world will finally witness that adaptation come to life, when Supergirl finally hits theaters on June 26.

SDCC 2025: ‘Peacemaker’ Takes Over San Diego Comic Con

August 4, 2025August 4, 2025 Mike Manalo

Superman flew into theaters this summer, officially kicking off the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran. It garnered much acclaim, and is still soaring high at the box office, becoming the highest grossing solo Superman film of all time domestically, and the most successful superhero film of the year. So the question for DC Studios is, of course, what’s next? Why the return of John Cena’s outlandish Peacemaker of course!

‘Superman’ and The Quest For Palestine

July 14, 2025July 14, 2025 Edward Hong

Over here at The Nerds Of Color, Mike Manalo has done an astounding job covering the James Gunn version of Superman and, like him, our opinions are aligned that this is a Superman film for the ages. While there were many things to nitpick, there was undeniable energy and hope that coursed through the film, driven by the excellent David Corenswet. But while watching the film, I could not help but notice that the central conflict between the fictional countries of Boravia and Jarhanpur bore a striking resemblance to that of Israel and Palestine. We’re going to talk about this allegory exclusively, so come with me on this journey!

Why do we love superheroes? Yes, their powers are extraordinary, their costumes are cool, and their gadgets are incredible. The adventures they go on are exciting, and they symbolize the modern mythology of our time. However, it’s more than that. Superheroes embody the best of us. They give us hope, inspire awe, and encourage us to become better. All of this began with the original and greatest superhero of all time: Superman!
