X-Men ‘97 showrunner Beau DeMayo has revealed he took inspiration from the Superman movie Man of Steel for one pivotal moment in the season 1 finale.
The co-creator of the series recently took to Twitter to share the influence director Zack Snyder’s 2013 movie had on the moment when Rogue finally got her hands on Bastion. "I was likely subconsciously influenced by this when writing the X-Men '97 finale beat of Rogue punching Bastion," wrote DeMayo. "That's not Superman hammering Zod. It's Clark, a son furiously defending the woman who raised and protected him. The action is driven by emotion not plot. #manofsteel"
