🚨 FINAL 2025 EVENT REVEALED! This coming Tuesday, our previously-announced, multi-episode revisitation of the John Byrne Superman era begins. And after THAT…

It’s time for the LOIS & CLARK TV MIXTAPES! In the grand tradition of our events covering Superman: The Animated Series, Superboy, and Smallville, we’ll be applying DFK’s patented “mixtape”-style approach to the 90s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Over 5 episodes, we’ll be breaking down the series by examining its most distinguishing features: the romance between the titular characters, the very alive & involved Kents, Lex Luthor, and the other villains (Tempus, Lord Nor, & more). Plus, as always, we’ll count down our Top 10 episodes of the series!

(Of course, there’s a certain 🐘 in the room when it comes to this series these days. For the record: This podcast event is in NO way, shape, or form an endorsement of the views expressed by one of the show’s stars. At the same time, this series is an indelible part of the Superman mythology, a formative part of my own fandom, and the product of many, many people working to bring it to life — in short, the show itself remains worthy of discussion in my view.)

Byrne Superman followed by the L&C mixtapes. It’s going to be a big, fun Fall!

📰 EXTRA! EXTRA! 📰 On the latest Another Exciting Episode in the Adventures of Superman, Rich Roney joins me for Season 4’s “The Unlucky Number” — in which a rigged 🎟️ involves a con man who is mistaken for Superman by his young neighbor.

A bit better than “Joey” last week, at least, but another soft entry in the color era. Still, as always, we had a blast discussing. And there is one standout moment featuring Superman issuing a stern warning to the “child” on screen (and, by extension, to the audience at home). 🎧 NOW!

As Joshua Williamson alluded to during this week’s ep, I got to read Superman #30 and Justice League: The Omega Act #1 early. (Podcaster perks! 😆) Enjoyed both & definitely feel more excited about DC K.O. than I did previously.

No spoilers, but there’s a dynamic introduced in the Omega special that I find VERY intriguing & can’t wait to see explored further.

Thanks to everyone who’s already listened to the interview & especially to those who have commented/reached out. Really appreciate it!

For those keeping score: of the current Superman writers, Mark Waid, PKJ, and now Josh have all been on the show. That’s almost the full set…🤔

As I said to Joshua Williamson during today’s 🔥 ALL-NEW 🔥 episode, reading his run is definitely the most “at home” this Triangle Era fan has felt in years.

Hearing Josh share his affinity for the Triangle Era — not to mention keen attention to continuity, affection for the characters, and enthusiasm for his ongoing run — was music to my ears.

Hope you guys enjoy(ed) the talk. If you have ANY interest in this current era of Superman comics, do NOT miss this one!

🚀 INTERVIEW ALERT! 🚀 I had an absolute blast talking with writer JOSHUA WILLIAMSON all about his Superman run on today’s all-new episode.

We discussed redemption for Lex, Superboy Prime & other villains, a surprising new role for Doomsday, Triangle Era influences, balancing continuity & story, and much more.

Josh was awesome to speak with & offered a ton of insight into his run (with some hints of what’s to come as well). 🎧 NOW!

21/09/2025

Jeph Loeb last week, Joshua Williamson this week, and NEXT WEEK: legendary Superman group editor MIKE CARLIN returns to the podcast to take us inside the Byrne Superman era. It’s the kickoff to an epic, multi-ep Byrne event. Don’t miss it on 9/30!

📺 WE’RE BACK! My George Reeves rewatch podcast returns today from a short hiatus with the launch of our Season 4 coverage.

Rich Roney joins me for “Joey,” in which the Daily Planet buys a racehorse 🐴 from one of Perry’s old school friends and the man’s brokenhearted granddaughter.

What a way to start a season! 🫤 Rich & I did what we could & had a great time as always, but as far as “Superman helps a young child” episodes go, this was no “Around the World with Superman.” But! If you’re tracking instances of my Perry impression and/or Rich mentioning Lois’s penchant for hats, we got you. 😉

🎧 NOW to the latest Another Exciting Episode!
