Great exploration of a character

I’m not a huge Superman fan (he’s kind of a blindspot for me), but the passion expressed on this show MAKES me a Superman fan. I love how it’s across all types of media and how it explores his place in the wider DC universe, diving deep into his impact both in comics and culturally.

Great Superman show that touches all era’s

I found this show a few months ago and have plowed through the back episodes. I really enjoy both the discussions about content I’ve read/watched and have not. Can’t recommend this show enough. Such a great show!!
