What do you get when you mix Tim Burton, Nicolas Cage in a skintight Superman suit, and a giant mechanical spider? You get Superman Lives — or rather, you almost did. In this video, we take a deep dive into the wild, weird, and absolutely bonkers story of the unmade Superman film that almost happened in the '90s.
We're talking about Kevin Smith's polar bear-fueled script, Jon Peters' obsession with spiders, and Nic Cage’s long-haired Superman test footage that lives in our heads rent-free.
Using the fantastic documentary The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?, we explore how this infamous project spiraled out of control — and why, honestly, we may have dodged a cinematic Kryptonite bullet.
Would Superman Lives have been a misunderstood masterpiece… or a disaster of cosmic proportions? Let’s find out.
