Before we jump into any of that, though- We have a new General Zod, and I have some thoughts on him. Also, what is Henry Cavill doing to prepare for donning the blue tights, and what does he think of the script, and Amy Adams?
Zack Snyder talks about working with Christopher Nolan.
What does the son of Lex Luthor want with the Man of Steel? Who is the new female character that will have his attention? Find out when we talk about Superman: Requiem.
Then, it’s time. We talk about Dean Cain. From the heartbreak of a premature end to his sports career, to donning the cape.
We look back at Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and where Dean went after that.
Also, a look back at a classic episode of Lois and Clark- “Seasons Greedings” written by Dean Cain.

This week begins the new twice weekly format.
We talk extensively about Kryptonite– it’s origins, the many varieties, and a scientific explanation of why it effects the Man of Steel. Did you know that Jerry Siegel originally wanted Kryptonite to appear years earlier? You can read much of that original story at k-metal.nu.
Also, Amy Adams as Lois Lane; why she makes an excellent choice and what former Lois Lanes have spoken their approval. A Justice League movie for 2013? And an update on the other Superman movie– Superman Requiem.
Then, the Kryptonite theme continues as the animated Superman first encounters his weakness in the fifth episode of Superman:The Animated Series. See the Man of Steel battle a giant T-rex, and pollute the harbor with aircraft and lead poisoning. Also- why you don’t want to be in the Metropolis Treasury building when a fire breaks out.
All of this- and the final round of Metropolis idol. Have you voted in the final showdown between George Reeves and Dean Cain? Choose your Superman.
