Episode 120- Why Superman Needs a Secret Identity!

In episode 120 Bob Fisher gets up on his soap box to render a rant on the current goings on at DC Comics regarding Brian Michael Bendis and Dan Didio as they expose Superman’s secret Clark Kent identity to the world… again.

Staying with the theme Bob then turns his attention to Action Comics 305 which gets right to the point of why Superman NEEDS a secret identity and why Clark Kent is so important.

A full hour of a non-stop Superman Sermon as Bob preaches to the choir. If we get it, why doesn’t DC?
