Since I just watched “Superman” (2025):

Ways to approach the poll if the character isn’t a royal:

If you think they’d be from a smaller house, go with the Great House that that smaller house is sworn to (ex: House Manderly —> vote Stark)

They don’t have to be a nobleperson, they can be someone working for the house or being ruled by them. Roles could be a sworn-sword, a septa, a butcher, a blacksmith, or even a lowly peasant.

You can consider the region itself. For example, if you feel the character would be from Dorne, pick House Martell.

You can consider the personality of the character. For example, if your character is all about honor, then consider either House Arryn or House Stark.

Last, but not least, be creative with it! For example, there was a comment I read that the character who was the subject of the poll would be pulling a Littlefinger, so they went with either Lannister or Tyrell as that would be that character’s target houses.

Welcome back to the "cantheywinthehungergames"... Hunger Games!

6 tributes just fell in the bloodbath today, and 6 more are about to do the same! But, who, though? Assume that these characters are normal people and do not have any superhuman abilities, unique weapons, or other unfair advantages. Please reblog these posts for further reach!

Man of Steel (2013)

When it comes to adapting a beloved comic book character for the big screen, change is inevitable. Creative visions evolve, cultural sensibilities shift, and filmmakers are often tasked with balancing reverence for the past with a desire to push the character into new territory.

Such was the case with Man of Steel—a film that reintroduced Superman to a new generation, but in a way that felt... different to many.

Development for Man of Steel began in 2008, born from the desire to reboot the Superman franchise after Superman Returns (2006) failed to reignite the public’s enthusiasm and under the guidance of producer Christopher Nolan and director Zack Snyder, the film aimed to modernize the mythos, giving Superman a more grounded, complex, and emotionally layered identity that reflected 21st-century sensibilities.

Gone were the bright, primary colors of past iterations. Gone were the red trunks—a bold design choice that sparked considerable debate among longtime fans. In their place was a darker, textured suit meant to suggest an alien heritage and military purpose. This Superman wasn’t here to dazzle with nostalgia—he was here to wrestle with meaning, identity, and duty in a world that doesn’t easily embrace gods.

Man of Steel explored the origin story in a nonlinear fashion, choosing to weave Clark Kent’s formative memories through flashbacks, allowing us to see his inner struggles before his cape ever touched the wind. We saw a boy torn between two worlds, raised with love by human parents, but carrying the burden of an alien legacy. His journey to become Superman wasn’t painted in bright, hopeful strokes—but with introspection, conflict, and pain.

At the heart of the film was a new interpretation of Krypton’s fall—and the threat posed by the ruthless General Zod, portrayed with searing intensity by Michael Shannon. This wasn’t just a battle of strength—it was a philosophical collision between two remnants of a lost world, each trying to define the future in radically different ways.

Premiering at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on June 10, 2013, Man of Steel arrived with tremendous anticipation. While audiences responded with enthusiasm, critics were more divided. Many praised the film’s grand visuals, emotionally weighty tone, and thrilling action set pieces, but others felt it lacked the heart and charm of previous incarnations. Some criticized it for descending into what they called "generic blockbuster territory," and Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman—stoic, uncertain, and burdened—was met with mixed reactions.

Yet, despite the polarized reviews, Man of Steel achieved something undeniably important: it laid the foundation for a new cinematic universe.

The film marked the beginning of what would be known as the DC Extended Universe (DCEU)—a sprawling, ambitious attempt to bring DC’s legendary heroes together on the silver screen. And though the DCEU would eventually shift, evolve, and soft-reboot into what is now called the DC Universe (DCU), Man of Steel remains the first bold step of that journey.

A film that dared to reimagine a myth—and in doing so, sparked a new chapter in the legacy of Superman.

However, even with all the controversy surrounding how Man of Steel redefined Superman for modern audiences, I can’t deny it—Henry Cavill remains one of my favorite portrayals of the character.

There was something deeply compelling about Cavill’s Superman. His version was, in many ways, unlike any we had seen before.

He was quiet. Reserved. Stoic. A man weighed down not just by the burden of power, but by uncertainty—about himself, about the world, and about his place in it. He wasn’t the cheerful boy scout from past decades. He was more introspective, more cautious… even more reluctant.

And yet, he had everything you’d want in a Superman. The physique. The presence. The piercing gaze. The calm authority. When Cavill wore the cape, he looked like Superman walked straight off the pages of a comic. He carried himself with the dignity, power, and vulnerability befitting the last son of Krypton.

But as much as I admired Cavill’s performance, I always felt something was missing—something vital.

The essence.

Superman, at his core, is not just a powerful alien. He is the embodiment of hope. He’s adored not because he can lift mountains or shoot lasers from his eyes, but because—despite being from another world—he represents the best of ours. He grew up in Smallville, was raised with love and humility, and was taught to see humanity not as something beneath him, but as something worth fighting for. That’s what makes him inspiring.

Unfortunately, in the vision crafted by Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan, that human core often took a backseat to a more alien, more conflicted version of the character. The grim aesthetic, the heavy tone, the philosophical detachment—all made Superman feel more like a god burdened by existence than a man trying to do the right thing. His alter ego, Clark Kent, barely had room to breathe.

But i understand the intent—to show Superman as a messianic figure, a lonely outsider viewed with suspicion and awe. And there’s merit in that. Especially in Batman v Superman, the idea of him being seen as a divine symbol raised thought-provoking questions. But in doing so, the narrative drifted from what Superman himself wants: not to be worshiped, but to be trusted. He doesn’t want humanity to see him as a god. He wants them to see him as a friend. A protector. A beacon of possibility.

Still, I don’t blame Cavill. In fact, I think he did an outstanding job with the material he was given. He carried the role with honor and sincerity, and in many ways, elevated the films he was in. After all, there are moments in Man of Steel that are truly unforgettable—chief among them, the flight scene.

That moment, when he first lifts off the ground, finding his purpose through the skies... it still gives me chills. The music by Hans Zimmer—powerful, emotional, and soaring—captures perfectly the awe and inner joy of a man discovering who he is.

So yes, while I was saddened when I heard that Cavill would no longer be donning the cape, I’m also incredibly grateful. Grateful that, for a time, we got to see him as Superman. That he left his mark in the legacy of the character.

However, what does trouble me, though, is the reaction from some fans. Specifically, the way a vocal portion of the so-called "Snyderverse" fanbase has responded to the new Superman film.

Rather than accepting change or embracing a new vision, they’ve chosen to respond with insults, online harassment, and even hateful slurs—directed at actors, the director, and fans who are simply excited for something new. It’s toxic, and honestly... it’s shameful.

I liked Snyder’s take. It wasn’t perfect, but it was bold. It had heart. But stories evolve. Franchises move forward. And although the DCEU is over, that doesn’t mean we forget it—it means we let it rest. That’s how storytelling works.

So instead of trying to tear down something new, maybe ask yourselves:

What would Superman think of your actions?

Because if there’s one thing Superman stands for—whether he’s played by Reeve, Cavill, or even David—it’s hope, kindness, and doing what’s right. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

It's interesting that you should bring up a limit on Zee's magic. In the past, we had her temporarily losing her powers after saving The Key. (A decision made in part due to her being used a lot in JLA.)

In addition, JLA: Incarnations 4 had her using her powers and Tully Reed could see how much it was costing her.

From that I got the idea that she can only do so much, and then she may need to rest or recover. She could be able to tap into other things for power.

A big factor is the writer. Zatanna is often used as a sort of Deus ex Machina, from resurrecting Harley Quinn to rebuilding Metropolis. When I was in a RP group, I played Zee, and I had to make sure not to steal the show. (It wasn't too hard. I made sure to take time to let others shine.)

It’s very interesting the way Zatanna suffers from plot in a way not many do. Being depowered after being too powerful on the JLA because she isn’t Superman. Starting both JLD runs as less powerful than normal or having something “wrong” with her magic so she can’t just solve every problem. Because that’s the thing is DC writers know she can solve the problem usually easily because not many consider her powers and power level when thinking of a threat or villain of the week. Because honestly, there’s very few villains in the DC universe that Zatanna couldn’t handle alone.

it’s always a sorta give and take, because on the one hand we get to see her have relationships and dynamics on teams. Her characterization is usually strong and that’s great, but her power gets disrespected. And using Superman as the example again, he is rarely given that same treatment. He is allowed to get characterization and stay consistently powerful because… well, he’s Superman. And I find myself wishing they would just treat her like they treat Superman. We don’t have to nerf her to let the other characters shine. We just give her and supes different/larger scale jobs/threats. Or you amp your villains.

And it’s so frustrating to even have to talk about this because power really isn’t the only thing to a character, there is so much that makes Zatanna such a rich and interesting character. She has fascinating lore and history and is genuinely a good character. But DC is so obsessed with sidelining one of their own powerhouses that we have to keep bringing up just how powerful and skilled she is. DC doesn’t seem to understand they can have their cake and eat it too by allowing her to be as powerful and has developed as a character as she should be. When her power is literally anything you can imagine her saying backwards, i don’t understand why one would limit the creativity that allows for.

[batbigbang]

Hi!

I was wondering if I could take over as a mod and organize a Bat Big Bang in 2025? I love this event and I think several people are interested to participate. I already have some experience running fandom events such as Rainbow Exchange and Enemies to Lovers Exchange and DC events like DC Trans Week and Jason Todd-centric Exchange. I also have a lot of free time to dedicate to running the bang. If you're amenable, you can message me on Tumblr or Discord :)

sasheneskywalker

Hello, Tully here! And only a little late, (and realizing that I can Finally answer asks on this blog).

You're very welcome to run your version of the bat big bang for 2025!

As Gabe mentioned previously, we'll be happy to promote it to this blog if you @ us.

[circusofshrimps]

Dick dealing with a buildup of repressed emotions by crashing out is a good idea. i like it. but i think its 10x funnier if he deals with his emotion buildups by being a bit irregular

example: obsessively baking pies in flavors he doesnt even like. (he donates them to shelters around blüdhaven.)
