"Superman Returns" and "Supergirl" Coming to Netflix in October

by Neil Cole

Netflix have announced that both "Superman Returns" and "Supergirl" will be among the list of movies which will be debuting on the popular streaming service this Fall.

"Superman Returns" sees the Man of Steel (Brandon Routh) return to Earth after a long absence to a much-changed world. Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) plots to destroy him once and for all, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) has moved on with her life, and society has learned to survive without him. The Man of Steel must find a way to reconnect with her and find his place in a world that may no longer need him.

The film serves as a homage sequel to "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman: II" while completely ignoring the events of both "Superman: III" and "Superman: IV - The Quest for Peace".

"Supergirl" follows Clark Kent's surviving Kryptonian cousin Kara Zor-El (Helen Slater) as she comes to Earth and assumes an identity as Linda Lee to recover the Omegahedron from Selena (Faye Dunaway), a fabulously evil sorceress who presides over an avant-garde coven from her carnival funhouse. The film also stars Mia Farrow, Peter O'Toole, Peter Cook, and Marc McClure reprising his role as Jimmy Olsen.

The film suffered at the box office during it's initial theatrical run but, over the years, has been rediscovered as a camp and cult classic that puts a female superhero character front and center long before the new resurgence of comic book movies even began to think of doing the same.

Both films will be available for streaming on Netflix beginning Tuesday, October 1st.
