Episode 71- Miracle Monday

album72Happy Miracle Monday!

Charlie Niemeyer of Superman in the Bronze Age joins me on this very special look at the Elliott S! Maggin novel, Miracle Monday.

It’s Superman versus the devil, with time travelling college girls who love chest hair caught in the middle. No joke.

I can’t make this up.

Episode 70- The Worlds’ Mightiest Mortals

album70It’s another round with Superman meeting up with Captain Marvel, and Cap brings his entire family this time.

When villains Mr. Mxyzptlk and Mr. Mind construct a diabolical plan, the two powerhouse heroes must work together to get Superman back to his world.

But, they will do that, right after they have some crepes.

Warning- There was an issue with my DVD of Superman: The Animated series that arose at the last minute, so despite my teasing of the episode coverage, it doesn’t happen, and I apologize for the technical difficulty.

Episode 69- Birthright Finale

album69Superman Forever Radio starts dropping on Tuesdays with this episode.

But, this is it- the finale of Superman: Birthright, as it all hits the fan. Kryptonian invasion, humanity rejects Superman, Kryptonite everywhere.

And, in the middle is Clark Kent, trying to keep it together long enough to save the day- but when he faces insurmountable odds, there is a moment of doubt as to whether he can live up to the symbol he has on his chest.

It’s the final battle that will forge the Man of Steel. And, Titano pays a visit in an episode of Superman: The Animated series.

Episode 68- Birthright Part 3

sfr68albumBirthright continues, and we learn about Lex‘s time in Smallville, and why he is such a cranky man.

But, what are the flip-sides to Clark Kent, who is the real triangle, and what is the threat even Superman’s strength can’t overcome?

And, travel to another dimension in Superman: The Animated Series– a place where the public fears Superman, and the Man of Steel wears black in the episode “Brave New Metropolis.”

Episode 67- Birthright Part 2

sfr067albumThis week- Birthright continues, as Clark Kent develops a costume, an alter ego, and makes his big debut as The Man of Steel.

The story hits a new pace, as Lex Luthor reveals a hidden secret about the new hero in the skies of Metropolis, and it means bad things for Superman.

And, a familiar face returns to menace Lois Lane in another episode of Superman: The Animated series.
