Welcome to It All Comes Back to Superman Series 2's entry into the mammoth and totally awesome JSApril podcasting crossover!

What is JSApril? It's a celebration of the 85th anniversary of the Justice Society of America! It was spearheaded by my friend Shag from The Fire and Water Podcast Network and there are dozens of blogs and podcasts that are all doing entries and episodes focusing on some aspect of the JSA's history.

In this, the first of two specials that you'll be getting, I talk about the Justice Society of America storyline Thy Kingdom Come. Actually, I do a bit of podcasting multitasking because I also wanted to devote episodes of this show to the stories appearing in the Superman trade boxset that has the snazzy new Superman shield from the movie on the slipcase and one of those is Kingdom Come. So, I mainly talk about the Thy Kingdom Come storyline that ran in Justice Society of America issues 10-22 as well as the annual from 2008 and three specials that came out in November of 2008 but I also spend some time talking about Kingdom Come as well. I also go through where my love of the JSA came from, the set-up to the storyline, some very basic bits of background on why it happened, and then I get into the story itself and along the way I dig into Superman's role in Kingdom Come, why I have come to love that version of the Man of Steel, and a deep dive into the Justice Society of America Kingdom Come Superman Special #1!

Next Time: JSApril continues with Derek Russell of SHoE joining me to talk about Smallville: Absolute Justice!

Welcome to another city smashing installment of a podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

This time out I am joined by Anthony Desiato of Digging For Kryptonite: A Superman Fan Journey and Another Exciting Episode in the Adventures of Superman to talk about the first in a series of animated movies featuring DC characters or adaptations of actual comic book stories. Superman/Doomsday was released in September of 2007 and was not so much an adaptation of The Death and Return of Superman saga as something that was inspired by that story. Anthony and I discuss the pros and cons of taking story beats from the Death and Return (an important story for both of us) as well as the voice cast and the special features that came with the original DVD release. I also spend a good more time than necessary complaining about the Death and Return omnibus that came out at the same time.

Again, Anthony hosts Digging for Kryptonite and Another Exciting Episode in the Adventures of Superman. Both of these shows are excellent podcasts and Anthony has done such a great job shining a light on Superman history and the fifties Adventures of Superman television series.

Next Time: Moving Kryptonian Images continues with Donovan Morgan Grant, who joins me to talk about Superman/Batman: Public Enemies!

Welcome...or should I say thank you for returning to the seemingly never ending podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

This time out Andrew Leyland of Hey Kids Comics, The Amazing Spider-Man From The Beginning, and The Overlooked Dark Knight fame joins me to talk about 2006's Superman Returns. In the interest of fairness I will warn you that our conversation is not exactly positive. This movie, the first live action Superman film in 19 years, had a huge marketing push and people, including us, were excited, but the final product was...mixed. Andy and I talk about the problems we had with the film but also the things about the film that we liked, which includes the score. We also talk about the lead-up to the movie and even the comic book tie-ins which were definitely stories told with words and images.

As previously mentioned Andy either hosts or co-hosts several other shows. These include Hey Kids Comics (which he co-hosts with his son Micheal), The Amazing Spider-Man From The Beginning (which he hosts on his own), and The Overlooked Dark Knight (which he co-hosts with me). These are all great shows, even the one with me, and you should definitely check them out.
