"Superman in the Bronze Age" is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Charlie Niemeyer and J David Weter, covering Superman's adventures from Action Comics #393 in 1970 to Action Comics #583 in 1986. New episodes are available every other Friday.
Welcome to Episode 41 of Superman in the Bronze Age. In this extra-length episode we are joined by a little known podcaster named Michael Bailey. He took a break from From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast, Bailey's Batman Podcast, Views From the Longbox, Tales of the JSA, Comics Monthly Monday, the Spider-Man Crawlspace Podcast and Superman Homepage's Radio KAL Live, and possibly others that I have forgotten. Michael joins the guys because this episode marks the debut of his most favorite supporting character from the bronze age. Plus, we learn about Prince Adam's adventure on Krypton, Gorilla Grodd kills Superman, and Green Arrow enjoys some fudge. There's also ads, Elsewhere in the DC Multiverse, and possibly a few tangents.
ComicBookResources.com caught up with the creative team of Dan Jurgens and Keith Giffen to talk about their run on "Superman" starting with issue #7. Here's an excerpt from the interview...
DC editor Matt Idleson recently announced there is going to be a big "Superman"/"Superboy"/"Supergirl" event this summer. As the flagship title, are you guys sort of leading the charge and setting the pace for the event?
Jurgens: I think so, yeah.
Giffen: I would like to think so, yeah!
Jurgens: Keith would like to think so, I think so! [Laughter] The idea is, and again, this gets back to where we were originally in the conversation, that yes, this is a new DC Universe and we have a somewhat re-imagined Superman, Superboy and Supergirl. So, what are their connections, if any? Or is it going to be a situation where the connection is so distant there really isn't one? How do they interact with each other? What we're looking to build here, along with the appropriate creative teams from those two books of course, is we want to set up what exactly are those relationships, why these three characters see each other the way they do. I think there's something there that's very compelling and interesting because it simply isn't going to be what it was a few years ago.
Giffen: With any bit of luck! I have to point out right up top here that I am not the hugest fan of the boy/girl, lad/lass, dog/chimp rule of superheroes wherein you take a character and then just introduce dozens and dozens of different variants. So one of the things I would hope with this crossover, what we can do is, instead of making these characters seem more similar to each other because they all wear the S, is make them as dissimilar to each other as humanly possible so each character is still a unique character in of itself and not just part of a bigger family of like characters. That's always driven me crazy.
Newsarama spoke with "Supergirl" writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson to find out more about why George Pérez is drawing issue #8, what they've been trying to accomplish with their first five issues of "Supergirl", and what readers can expect in 2012 from the series. Here's a portion of the interview...
Newsarama: In issue #5, Supergirl finds out that it's all true. Krypton's really gone. How important was this moment for the title? It's a real turning point, isn't it?
Mike Johnson: Yeah, I think issue #5 is the place where we wanted to start giving the fans some answers. We always answer a question with another question, but hopefully fans are getting enough clues now that some things are starting to get resolved.
Of course, the biggest thing is, as you said, now she knows for sure that Krypton's gone. She knows what has happened to her family. And it has really set the table for the rest of the book.
Michael Green: For us, her finding out what happened back home, and that "home" is gone, is probably the most foundational part of her back-story. If Superman's never-ending story is, "what is my place in this world," because he got to grow up here and be an out-of-place child here, her story is so disruptive that her story becomes, "what happened to my world? Where did those people I love go?"
We wanted to make sure we gave as much attention to those emotions as possible, and really make that the first big piece of her story, finding out that it's all gone and dealing with it. It's real loss. It's everyone know you know and love is no more. There's nothing to do about except honor their memory by staying a good person in the face of it.
Welcome to the 125th episode of From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast! This podcast has a simple premise; examine just about every Superman comic published between Man of Steel #1 in 1986 to Adventures of Superman #649 in 2006 in an informative and hopefully entertaining format.
Part index. Part commentary. Part history lesson. All podcast.
This week Mike (who is getting over a cold, which is why he sounds funky) and Jeff continue their coverage of the DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN with the third and fourth chapters of FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND. In SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL #20 the supporting cast, the heroes of the DC Universe and even Bill Clinton gather in Metropolis for Superman’s funeral as the Kents have their own private service in Smallville. Then in SUPERMAN #76 a group of heroes gather to continue Superman’s tradition of answering his mail on Christmas Eve. Plus Mitchell Anderson visits Metropolis and Lois, Jonathan, Martha and Lana Lang get together to have a very important discussion. Mixed in is the usual coverage of the two novelizations and the BBC audio drama. Plus, Mike complains some more about the DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN OMNIBUS. Finally Jeffrey tells you what was going on in the real world during the MEANWHILE AT THE DAILY PLANET segment.
Next time: FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND continues with ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #499 and ACTION COMICS #686.
If you want to comment on the show or contact the hosts you can always private message Mike and Jeff, leave comments here or email them at fromcrisistocrisis@gmail.com. All questions, concerns, fears, trepidations and cheap shots are welcome.

The Superman Homepage has received word that another young actor by the name of Jack Foley will be seen in "Man of Steel" playing the role of a young Pete Ross.
It was confirmed earlier this week that Jadin Gould is playing a young Lana Lang, and it's been all but confirmed that Dylan Sprayberry (who was previously rumored) will appear as young Clark Kent.
MovieFone.com interviewed Kate Bosworth, Katie Aselton, and Lake Bell about their new film "Black Rock, and asked Kate (who played Lois Lane in "Superman Returns") how she felt about "Man of Steel"...
Kate, with "Man of Steel" coming out, did you feel, "We did a really good job with 'Superman Returns" and we should've had a chance to make another?"
Bosworth: I didn't really think about it too much, you know? Because I think about each film experience as an individual one and then kind of move on, you know what I mean? I'm actually excited to see it. I really think Amy Adams is a great actress and I like comic book films.
