Hey there, fellow San Miguel de Allende locals! Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into a wild story involving the Man of Steel himself—Superman. You won’t believe what he almost got entangled in back in the 80s!
So, here’s the scoop: Superman, the shining beacon of hope and justice for over eight decades, almost starred in an adult film. Yes, you heard that right, not a parody, but an actual, serious movie! Can you imagine? The 80s were a wild time—right alongside hair metal and neon leg warmers!
This little chapter in Superman’s history comes courtesy of comic book writers John Byrne and Keith Williams. They thought, why not throw Superman into an incredibly awkward situation? The plot thickens with characters like Big Barda, who’s having a relationship with Mister Miracle, and let’s not forget about the villainous producer named Sleez. Talk about a cast!
The trouble starts when Big Barda’s weapon, the Mega-Rod, ends up in the hands of Sleez, who then uses it to control Barda’s mind, leading her to film some not-so-family-friendly content. Enter Superman, who swoops in to save the day. But surprise, Barda thinks she’s still under Sleez’s power, leading to a bit of a misunderstanding and a whole lot of chaos!
Now, what’s interesting is that this tale goes from Save the Day to, well, “Let’s make an adult film.” Sleez has a devious plan to produce this flick with Superman and Big Barda to bring in some cash to build an army to take on Darkseid. I mean, who doesn’t love a financial scheme mixed with superhero antics?
Thankfully, before any on-screen disaster could unfold, Mister Miracle arrives just in time to save the day. Superman snaps out of the mind control, defeats Sleez, and then everyone just decides to sweep this awkward moment under the rug. Classic!
And as we gear up for the brand new Superman movie from director James Gunn, this hilarious anecdote reminds us of how far we’ve come. The upcoming film promises to explore Superman’s humanity beyond his heroic image without stepping into such—umm—compromising situations.
So, there you have it, folks! Superman almost starred in an adult film, and we’re all better off without that oddity. James Gunn is set to deliver a fresh perspective on our favorite hero, focusing on his humanity and all that good stuff.
Now, let’s keep the conversation going! What do you think? Should Superman’s past awkwardness have ever seen the light of day? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
Until next time, keep those capes ready and your popcorn popped! Cheers!
