Digging for Kryptonite: A Superman Fan Journey

Host Anthony Desiato brings his 32-year fan journey full-circle by interviewing two of the architects of the famed Triangle Era: longtime Superman group editor MIKE CARLIN and veteran comics creator DAN JURGENS, who wrote and drew SUPERMAN #75 — aka the finale to THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.

In the first half of the double feature, Anthony speaks with Mike Carlin about the recently released Triangle Era omnibus; the origin, evolution, and eventual end of that period in Superman comics; and running the famous Super Summits to chart out each year's stories.

Then, Anthony welcomes Dan Jurgens to discuss Doomsday's inspiration, origin, and adaptations; other Triangle Era highlights, including underrated villain Conduit; and what he hopes fans like Anthony take away from the Death & Return of Superman.

It's a 175th episode not to be missed! The Road to Episode 200 starts now...

They relive the defining moments in Lex's journey and broken friendship with Clark, from their fateful meeting on the bridge in the pilot to their long-awaited reunion in the series finale — with stops along the way at the asylum, the dark truth about Julian, a pivotal Christmas vision, a faked pregnancy, and Lex's inevitable killing of Lionel Luthor.

Were Lex and Clark ever really friends? What role, if any, does Clark play in how Lex turned out? And did the series misunderstand its own point by mind-wiping Lex in the end? Anthony and Lance ponder these questions and more!

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) pick up right where they left off last week as they continue charting Clark's personal journey across the decade-long television series SMALLVILLE.

This week, they follow Clark into the so-called "Dropout Years," when he left college to run the farm after Jonathan's death and shied away from the destiny that awaited — even as he developed super-breath, encountered more of his future Justice League teammates, rounded up escaped Phantom Zone prisoners, and looked after Kara Zor-El.

Then, they enter the Metropolis Years, aka the final era of the show, in which Clark started working at the Daily Planet, embarked on a romantic relationship with Lois, developed a dual superhero identity (The Blur), and — at long last — reconciled both of his worlds before taking flight as Superman.

This week, Anthony and Zach share their journeys as SMALLVILLE fans, including viewing routines, why the show resonated with them so much, and what it inspired in their personal lives.

Then, they chart Clark's personal journey across the series' first 100 episodes (aka the high school seasons and first half of Season 5), including: the manifestation of his physical abilities in the form of X-ray vision, heat vision, and super-hearing; the discovery of his Kryptonian origins and fraught first encounters with AI Jor-El; his self-imposed exile after a terrible mistake; the formation of the iconic Fortress of Solitude; and the tragic passing of Jonathan Kent.

Next week, they'll continue the conversation as they follow Clark through the "dropout" and Metropolis years!

• FINAL CRISIS: LEGION OF 3 WORLDS, the five-issue miniseries (with art by the late, great George Pérez) that pitted Superboy Prime and his Legion of Super-Villains against the "retroboot" Legion, the post-Zero Hour "reboot" incarnation, and Mark Waid's "threeboot" team.

Host Anthony Desiato digs into the final days of Pre-Crisis Superboy — before the skies turned red and Clark Kent's past as Superboy was stripped from continuity in John Byrne's MAN OF STEEL reboot.

First, Anthony and guest Rob O'Connor (All Star Superfan Podcast) shine a light on an overlooked gem: the 1984-1985 miniseries SUPERMAN: THE SECRET YEARS by Bob Rozakis, Curt Swan, and Kurt Schaffenberger — with covers by Frank Miller! — which chronicled Clark Kent's junior year in college at Metropolis University and showed his transition from Superboy to Superman.

Then, Case Aiken (Men of Steel) tags in for the Post-Crisis storyline "The Greatest Hero of Them All" by John Byrne, Paul Levitz, and Greg LaRocque. If Clark Kent was never Superboy, then who inspired the Legion of Super-Heroes and had all those adventures with them in the future? This 1987 crossover sought to reconcile this continuity conflict over four issues spanning LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #37-38, SUPERMAN #8, and ACTION COMICS #591. Pocket Universe, here we come!

Host Anthony Desiato digs into the Bronze Age comic book series THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERBOY, which ran for 54 issues from 1980-1984, in an epic 2-part discussion! First, Anthony welcomes Jon Wilson (JON READS COMICS) to compare notes on the run by writer Cary Bates and artist Kurt Schaffenberger, which gave the Kents a far larger, more active role in their son's training and highlighted the future Superman's growing pains in a new way.

Then, Rob O'Connor (ALL STAR SUPERFAN PODCAST) tags in to tackle writer Paul Kupperberg's run with Schaffenberger, which developed Superboy's supporting cast, gave Clark Kent a girlfriend, and saw Jonathan Kent in a bid for city council. They also discuss what Kupperberg had planned for the written, but unpublished, issue #55.

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Alex Segura (author of the 2022 novel SECRET IDENTITY) dig into a real-world take on DC's most iconic character: 2004's SUPERMAN: SECRET IDENTITY by Kurt Busiek & Stuart Immonen, depicting the life journey of a man named Clark Kent—in a world where Superman and his mild-mannered alter ego exist only in comic books—who discovers he actually possesses the Man of Steel's powers.

But first! In a special preshow segment, Anthony and returning guest Bernie Gerstmayr compare notes on 1985's DC COMICS PRESENTS #87, the issue by Elliot S! Maggin & Curt Swan that introduced Superboy-Prime and inspired Busiek & Immonen's story.

The podcast is off next week for the Memorial Day holiday. It will return in two weeks (6/6/23) with a discussion of the anthology miniseries SUPERMAN: RED & BLUE!

Host Anthony Desiato digs into a pair of works by writer Grant Morrison, the 1997 JLA arc "Rock of Ages" and the 2008 event FINAL CRISIS, with guest Ralph Puma. They examine the parallels between these two tales of Darkseid subjugating Earth with the Anti-Life Equation, the ways in which they inspired Zack Snyder's cinematic vision, and whether Morrison's work is overly convoluted or worth the reader's effort.

Host Anthony Desiato digs into the infamous unmade SUPERMAN LIVES movie with guest V Ken Marion.

Originally intended to be released in 1998, Warner Bros. ultimately cancelled the film shortly before the start of production—and following a lengthy development process, which saw an earlier screenplay by CLERKS' Kevin Smith, the controversial attachment of director Tim Burton and Nicolas Cage, and a story that would have seen Superman die at the hands of Doomsday before returning to life.

In the episode, Anthony and Ken share the results of their extensive homework, including the documentary THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN LIVES: WHAT HAPPENED? by the late filmmaker Jon Schnepp, as well as audio dramas of two unused screenplays brought to life by Neuverse Creative.
