Welcome to the first part of a podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

For this first installment I am joined by Rob O'Connor and Alan Burke of the All-Star Superfan Podcast to discuss Superman and the Mole Men, which is the first live action Superman feature film ever! Through the course of the episode we talk about the fact that this was sort of, kind of the pilot for the Adventures of Superman television series, George Reeves as Superman, Noel Neil as Lois Lane, the special effects, and the political overtones of the story. We also talk a bit about the Adventures of Superman television series in general and how this film was originally distributed.

Be sure to check out Rob and Alan's show. Between great guests, fantastic interviews, and fun episode topics All-Star Superfan has something for every Superman fan.

Next Time: Moving Kryptonian Images continues with Steve Glosson joining me to talk about Superman The Movie!

This time out is another off the cuff, non-scripted solo episode where I talk about how 2024 shaped up as a year for me as a Superman fan and my goals for 2025. I talk about the comics I read (the end of Phillip Kennedy Johnson's run, Joshua Williamson's Superman, House of Brainiac, and Absolute Superman all get discussed), the shows I watched (My Adventures with Superman and Superman and Lois), my convention adventures, podcasting highlights, and shows I guested on all get discussed. Then I look to the future and what my Superman related goals for 2025. Plus, I talk about the mega series I have coming, which starts next week!

During this episode I mention the JSApril event which is coming in...April. It's right there in the name. You can find the home base for that event by clicking on this link.

This time out I am unscripted and off the cuff! Anything can happen! Damn the man! Save The Empire!

Or something like that.

In all seriousness, this time out I present an episode where I just sit in front of the microphone and go over all of my thoughts about the Superman film that is coming out next July. With the release of the teaser trailer I thought it was time to finally collect my thoughts about everything we've seen from the film thus far and get them out in a mostly coherent fashion. I start with the first images we were shown and then go forward from there. Topics include but are not limited to the first costume reveal, the set photos, and then (finally) I get to the trailer itself. I don't do a full frame by frame break down but I do go through the moments that stood out to me. I also talk about what I think the plot is going to be, why comparing this teaser trailers to the ones from the past is both valid and not fair, the thing about this film that separates it from past feature film versions, and more.

Oh, and I talk about the music.

BECAUSE I LOVED THE MUSIC!

Next Time: I'm not sure. I have a few different ideas for an episode before I start a series that I'll be revealing just after the first of the year. Stay tuned and all that.

This time out I finish up my two part series talking to the authors of Superman: The Definitive History by having a great chat with Bob Greenberger. Bob is no stranger to working on a book about Superman as he was one of the co-authors of The Essential Superman Encyclopedia and I talk to him about that, The Definitive History, his time working on Comics Scene for Starlog, how he came to work for DC Comics, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Who's Who, and so much more. We also touch on the history of comic book fandom and Bob tells us what it was like collecting comics in the sixties and seventies.

Once again, I'd like to thank Bob for sitting down with me to record this. It was a lot of fun.

Next Time: A mostly off the cuff episode about my feelings on the recently released Superman trailer and my thoughts, thus far, on the movie in general.

It All Comes Back to Superman Series Two is back with another interview! Actually it's the first of two interviews talking to the authors of Insight Editions book Superman: The Definitive History. This time out I once again sit down with Ed Gross, who is no stranger to books about Superman or books about pop culture in general. Ed and I have a great conversation that starts with us talking about the finale of Superman and Lois before getting into how this book (which you will need a spotter to read) came about. We chat about the differences in writing this book compared to Ed's last Superman book Voices From Krypton, how to balance the comic book side of Superman's history with all of the other places he has shown up over the decades, where we are in terms of Superman's place in pop culture, and so much more.

Many thanks to Ed for sitting down and speaking with me.

Next Time: The Definitive History Tapes continue with my talk with Bob Greenberger.

Welcome to the third episode of It All Comes Back to Superman Series 2, the very irregular reaffirmation of my Kryptonian faith. This time out I'm hopping into the Time Bubble and heading back to 1994 to look at the DC Comics event Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. And I am not alone. Joining me to talk about the series is none other than the writer/penciller on that series Dan Jurgens!

Dan was nice enough to spend about an hour with me to talk about how Zero Hour came about, what it was like writing and drawing five issues that were coming out weekly while also juggling all of the characters and books that were connected to the event. Dan also tells me why some of the promotional artwork and the artwork created for the distributors that existed at the time isn't reprinted in the collected editions that have been published in the last few years, why the Justice Society was taken off the table during the story, his favorite parts of the story, and how much he got paid to draw the cover to the zero issue.

After that we discuss the Zero Month issues of the Superman books and where Kenny Braverman came from. Finally, Dan talks a bit about the Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special that is coming out on the day this episode is dropping!

I wanted to thank Dan for spending some time with me and being so forthcoming and open with his answers.

Next Time: If everything works out I'll have the audio from a panel I am moderating at DragonCon this weekend. It should be fun.

This time I am re-presenting an episode of a show I did for like five seconds called Fortress of Baileytude Showcase Presents. Or something like that. It was this weird thing I was trying to do that just didn't catch on. To be honest, this episode should have been on the It All Comes Back to Superman in the first time.

Anyway, back in 2018 my good friend the Irredeemable Shag and I spent nearly three hours talking about the Death and Return of Superman phenomena and it was a fun episode to record. We go through the entire event from inception to the return of the one, true Superman. Shag gives a lot of insight about what it was like to be a retailer during those days, and I played a bunch of clips from various news reports that...reported on the event.

During the episode I mentioned an Oral History that was on SyFy Wire in 2018. That article doesn't exist anymore, which is a shame.

Below are a list of the various shows that Shag hosts or co-hosts over at The Fire and Water Podcast Network.

• Once Upon a Geek
• Justice Society Presents
• Who's Who Review
• Aquaman and Firestorm: The Fire and Water Podcast
• Justice League International: Bwah-Ha-Ha Podcast

Next time: No clue. Haven't decided yet, but something should be coming next month.

Welcome to the third episode of It All Comes Back to Superman Presents…Reuse, Recycle, Re-Release, a sub-series of It All Comes Back to Superman Series II where I will occasionally re-present an episode of one of my other shows (either the first iteration of It All Comes Back to Superman or one of the Superman centric episode of Views From The Longbox) and represent them here for…no real reason other than it sounded like a good idea to get all of my non-From Crisis to Crisis Superman podcasting in one place…eventually. These episodes are presented in their entirety with original opening and closing themes, ads, commentary that may not mean anything anymore, and humor that may not have aged well.

This time out I am bringing Views From The Longbox Episode 157 out of the vault, which was originally released on March 26, 2013. This was the second of a two-part episode where I had my good friend and Overlooked Dark Knight co-host Andrew Leyland on to talk about the Silver and Bronze Age origins of Superman. In this installment, which was part of the Superman at 75: The Celebration of a Legend series I did in 2013, Andy and I talk about Action Comics #500, which is one of my favorite Superman comics ever and one of the best re-tellings of the Pre-Crisis origin ever as well.

Next Episode – The next time I roll out one of these I'll have a conversation with Steve Glosson from 2013 all about Smallville.
