Written by Edward Gross. Originally published in 2000, Superman vs. Terminator was a four-issue miniseries written by Alan Grant that brought the Man of Steel together with.... well, the man of steel. What follows is an interview with the writer which was conducted back in the day. Initially it sounded a lot like a fanboy's idea of a wet dream: take comic icon Superman and pit him in battle against moviedom's reigning cybernetic killing machine, the Terminator. It's a high-concept idea that really shouldn't work, but does remarkably well in the DC/Dark Horse four-issue miniseries, SUPERMAN VS. TERMINATOR [originally published back in 2000].

It’s fascinating, actually. I looked at it with my daughter. She’s really fascinated by it. I remember Terence Stamp doing it. He was phenomenal.

In the new issue of SciFi Now magazine, Voices From Krypton editor Ed Gross offers up an exclusive interview with actor Henry Cavill who discusses his role of Theseus in Immortals and Superman in Man of Steel. The following is an excerpt from that interview. For the full conversation, check out the new issue of SciFi Now magazine, which is also currently available for downloading on the iPad. ED GROSS: The roles of Theseus and Superman have required you to transform physically, and I wonder what the transformative result of that is on you emotionally or psychologically when you walk on a set. HENRY CAVILL: That’s a very good question…. The mindset when you change your body physically, and your ability physically, there’s more of a self-belief. There is more of a security in yourself. It’s quite a unique feeling when you have a moment and you’re rested, and you’re not exhausted and everything else, you think, “I can do this stuff; I’m probably in the top 10 of physically fit people in this room,” and that’s a very good
