Wizbits’ magic hat! Is it the Weekend!

So in a not too distant post apocalyptic Earth, let us be your marauding horde of flesh hungry zombies, clumsily ploughing through the debris of a broken and deserted city street. As we go moaningily looking with our good eye for retro movie mayhem, well hobble, limp and drag our half an eaten carcass for cinematic awesomeness before cornering and ripping apart the fresh plump flesh of celluloid wonder.

Gave a happy retro weekend!

SATURDAY 22nd FEBRUARY

Guess what guys....the amazing new Superman flick 'Man of Steel' is flying it's spandex wearing way into your local cinema THIS WEEK!!

It's been veeeery long awaited and we've been craving some more Clark Kent action from the very first time we even know it was going to be made. Ohh what a great day that was....anyway! With so much buzz surrounding this new film with it's action-packed cinematic adventure including some amazing flight scenes, we just had to share our excitement with you guys and perhaps share a little about what to expect this week.

So what's it all about?

Clark Kent is a young twenty something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.” - official synopsis.

But what?? No mention of Zod OR Lois!? It's seems the main focus of this new installment will be his struggle to find our his purpose and reason for being there as well as his origins.

What will it all look like?

With the amazing new Superman film Man of Steel coming our way in the not to distant future (well...Friday 14th June to be exact), we thought it would be the perfect time to dig up some cool, interesting and perhaps shocking Superman facts to tickle your superhero taste buds in preparation for the action packed feature film.

Some of these you may already know, some you might not (we didn't!), but sit back and breath it all in :)

1) Superman was originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster waaaay back in 1932 but was rejected many times by many different publishers. When Jerry and Joe originally created Superman he also wasn't the bright blue and red caped superhero we all love today which may have been a reason.

2) Superman wasn't actually born 'Super'. That's right! All people on his home planet Krypton are essentially powerless as the planet has a red Sun, it's not until Superman lands on Earth which Sun is yellow which means a Kryptonian's cells can absorb and convert these new solar rays into incredible power. As young Clark Kent grew older, he grew more powerful as his body was able to store more solar energy and convert it more effectively making him super!

3) The S in the Superman shield logo doesn't actually stand for Superman. Wowowowhaaat?! The explanation for Superman's symbol has changed a few times. For decades, the comics simply said it was nothing more than a stylized monogram designed by Clark and his adopted parents, something they whipped up together after deciding on his new alias. HOWEVER....Superman: Birthright, writer Mark Waid revealed that the symbol was not a family crest, as the films had first indicated, but was an ancient Kryptonian symbol that meant "hope." The name Superman came after the symbol was created.
