DOWNLOAD/ RSS / ITUNES / STITCHER RADIO

Welcome to Superman Forever Radio episode 23, the twice weekly Superman podcast.

This week, we take a look at Superboy, from the adventures of Superman when he was a boy, to Conner Kent, and his time as a television star.

The young hero that was, then wasn’t, then was again. And the menace of Superboy Prime.

Before that, though, we hear from Man of Steel castmates Michael Shannon, and Diane Lane on their auditions for the movie, as well as the latest rumors swarming around the internet.

Then, it’s a look at a very draining episode of Superman: The Animated Series, as The Parasite makes his debut, and underwhelms.

Welcome to the new format. This week, we look back to the Superman comics on shelves for April of 2007… both of them. Thanks to DC’s erratic (Late) publishing schedule, we have a lighter episode than normal.

We roll out the new comic book rating system, and look deeper into the New Earth era.

In Superman #661, The Man of Steel teams with Wonder Woman to take on a life-force draining villainess, and Lois shows Diana a cyber-Cafe.

We look at Wonder Woman’s history, and her relationship with Kal-El before moving on to our second book of the week.

In Superman Conidential #4, Superman receives a beat down, courtesy of Lex Luthor and Kryptonite, before Jimmy comes to his rescue, and delivers him to Clark Kent?!?!?

And we wrap up with e-mails- Is Pa Kent actually a liar?? Has Michael Bailey found the secret that could have fixed the entire New Earth era??? Listen and find out.

Superman Forever Radio 19- Kryptonite Central

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 movieSuperman 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.
