• 1:17
  This
• 1:17
  is
• 1:17
  systematic
• 1:18
  ecology.
• 1:19
  We
• 1:19
  are
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  priest
• 1:19
  of
• 1:20
  the
• 1:20
  geeks.
• 1:20
  I
• 1:21
  am
• 1:21
  Kevin
• 1:21
  Schaefer
• 1:22
  here
• 1:22
  with
• 1:22
  one
• 1:22
  of
• 1:22
  my
• 1:22
  favorite
• 1:23
  geekologists,
• 1:23
  Christian
• 1:24
  Ashley.
• 1:25
  Christian
• 1:25
  Bizarro.
• 1:26
  Christian,
• 1:26
  how
• 1:27
  are
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  today?
• 1:27
  Me
• 1:28
  am
• 1:28
  sad.
• 1:29
  I
• 1:29
  love
• 1:29
  it.
• 1:29
  I
• 1:29
  like
• 1:30
  if
• 1:30
  you
• 1:30
  talk
• 1:30
  like
• 1:31
  that
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  entire
• 1:31
  episode.
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  think
• 1:32
  that
• 1:32
  would
• 1:32
  be
• 1:32
  really
• 1:32
  impressive.
• 1:33
  If
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  talk,
• 1:34
  try
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  talk
• 1:34
  like
• 1:34
  Bizarro
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  I'll
• 1:36
  try
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  talk
• 1:36
  like
• 1:36
  Clarkhead
• 1:37
  Superman.
• 1:37
  I
• 1:37
  think
• 1:37
  it
• 1:37
  would
• 1:38
  be
• 1:38
  really
• 1:38
  entertaining,
• 1:38
  but
• 1:39
  also
• 1:39
  it
• 1:39
  might
• 1:40
  drive
• 1:40
  you
• 1:40
  crazy
• 1:40
  a
• 1:41
  little
• 1:41
  bit.
• 1:41
  Yeah,
• 1:41
  I
• 1:42
  think
• 1:42
  I'm
• 1:42
  done
• 1:42
  after
• 1:42
  this.
• 1:43
  But
• 1:43
  great
• 1:43
  intro,
• 1:43
  though.
• 1:44
  So,
• 1:44
  yeah,
• 1:44
  so,
• 1:45
  yes,
• 1:45
  we
• 1:45
  are.
• 1:46
  For
• 1:47
  anyone
• 1:47
  who
• 1:47
  lives
• 1:48
  under
• 1:48
  a
• 1:48
  rock,
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  know,
• 1:49
  there
• 1:49
  is
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  new
• 1:49
  Superman
• 1:50
  movie
• 1:50
  coming
• 1:50
  out
• 1:51
  this
• 1:51
  week.
• 1:51
  You
• 1:51
  may
• 1:51
  have
• 1:51
  heard
• 1:52
  me
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  Christian
• 1:52
  talk
• 1:53
  about
• 1:53
  it
• 1:53
  a
• 1:53
  little
• 1:53
  bit
• 1:53
  in
• 1:53
  the
• 1:54
  last
• 1:54
  few
• 1:54
  months
• 1:55
  to
• 1:55
  a
• 1:55
  year
• 1:56
  and
• 1:56
  we
• 1:56
  could
• 1:57
  not
• 1:57
  be
• 1:57
  more
• 1:57
  excited.
• 1:57
  And
• 1:58
  so
• 1:58
  with
• 1:58
  that
• 1:59
  in
• 1:59
  mind,
• 1:59
  we
• 1:59
  are
• 2:00
  talking
• 2:00
  today
• 2:01
  about
• 2:01
  the
• 2:02
  classic
• 2:02
  Superman,

  animated
• 2:03
  series
• 2:04
  from
• 2:04
  the
• 2:04
  90s.
• 2:04
  We're
• 2:05
  going
• 2:05
  to
• 2:05
  be
• 2:05
  doing
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  deep
• 2:06
  dive
• 2:06
  into
• 2:06
  that
• 2:07
  and
• 2:07
  talking
• 2:07
  about
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  the
• 2:09
  context
• 2:09
  of
• 2:09
  when
• 2:10
  it
• 2:10
  was
• 2:10
  created
• 2:10
  to
• 2:11
  what
• 2:11
  it's
• 2:12
  like
• 2:12
  now,
• 2:12
  its
• 2:12
  relevance
• 2:13
  and
• 2:13
  especially
• 2:14
  its
• 2:14
  influence
• 2:15
  on
• 2:15
  the
• 2:16
  upcoming
• 2:16
  Superman
• 2:17
  movie.
• 2:18
  As
• 2:18
  James
• 2:18
  Gunn
• 2:19
  has
• 2:19
  talked
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  lot
• 2:19
  about
• 2:20
  how
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  animated
• 2:21
  universe
• 2:21
  from
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  90s
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  2000s
• 2:23
  had
• 2:23
  a
• 2:23
  heavy
• 2:23
  impact
• 2:24
  on
• 2:24
  him.
• 2:24
  So
• 2:25
  very
• 2:25
  excited
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  get
• 2:26

  Captain
• 2:42
  America
• 2:42
  run
• 2:42
  by
• 2:42
  Chip
• 2:43
  Zdarsky.
• 2:45
  It's
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  pretty
• 2:45
  promising.
• 2:47
  There
• 2:47
  are
• 2:47
  some
• 2:47
  concerns,
• 2:48
  but,
• 2:48
  you

  know,
• 2:48
  I'm
• 2:48
  ready
• 2:49

  see
• 2:49
  what
• 2:49
  he
• 2:49

• 2:50
  Very
• 2:50
  cool.
• 2:50
  Nice.

  Oh,

  yeah,

• 2:56
  Yeah,
• 2:57
  on
• 2:57
  my
• 2:57
  end,
• 2:57
  not
• 2:58
  too
• 2:58
  much
• 2:58
  different
• 2:58
  from,
• 2:59
  you
• 2:59
  know,
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  know
• 2:59
  we
• 2:59
  just
• 2:59
  recorded
• 3:00
  on
• 3:00
  Sunday
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  Peter
• 3:01
  David
• 3:01
  episode,
• 3:01
  so
• 3:02
  not
• 3:02
  too
• 3:02
  much.
• 3:03
  I
• 3:03
  haven't
• 3:03
  been
• 3:03
  to
• 3:03
  say,
• 3:04
  like,
• 3:04
  pretty
• 3:04
  much
• 3:04
  all
• 3:05
  Superman
• 3:05
  stuff.
• 3:05
  But
• 3:06
  yeah,
• 3:06
  I
• 3:06
  mean,
• 3:06
  I'm
• 3:06
  still,
• 3:07
  I'm
• 3:07
  going
• 3:07
  through
• 3:07
  Superman
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  Lois
• 3:08
  again,
• 3:09
  obviously,
• 3:09
  this
• 3:09
  series
• 3:09
  we're
• 3:10
  talking
• 3:10
  about
• 3:10
  today.
• 3:11
  I
• 3:11
  still
• 3:12
  love
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  DC
• 3:13
  Studios
• 3:13
  showcase
• 3:14
  podcast
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  cannot
• 3:15
  recommend
• 3:16
  enough.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  they
• 3:17
  actually
• 3:17
  just
• 3:17
  put
• 3:17
  out
• 3:18
  an
• 3:18
  interview
• 3:18
  with
• 3:19
  David
• 3:19
  Coren
• 3:19
  Sweat
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  Nicholas
• 3:20
  Holt.
• 3:21
  So
• 3:21
  highly
• 3:21
  recommend
• 3:21
  that.
• 3:22
  Outside
• 3:23
  of
• 3:23
  that,
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  did
• 3:23
  check
• 3:24
  out
• 3:24
  the
• 3:24
  Ironheart
• 3:24
  pilot.
• 3:25
  I
• 3:25
  enjoyed
• 3:25
  it
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  I've
• 3:26
  heard
• 3:26
  some
• 3:27
  really
• 3:27
  big.
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  haven't
• 3:27
  watched
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  rest
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  series
• 3:28
  yet.
• 3:29
  I
• 3:29
  know
• 3:29
  it's
• 3:29
  pretty
• 3:29
  short,
• 3:30
  but
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  heard
• 3:30
  some
• 3:30
  really
• 3:31
  big
• 3:31
  things
• 3:31
  about
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  finale.
• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  haven't
• 3:33
  looked
• 3:33
  into
• 3:33
  yet.
• 3:34
  So
• 3:34
  I'll
• 3:35
  probably
• 3:35
  be
• 3:35
  watching
• 3:35
  that
• 3:37
  either
• 3:37
  later
• 3:37
  this
• 3:37
  week
• 3:38
  or
• 3:38
  weekend
• 3:39
  because
• 3:39
  I
• 3:39
  think
• 3:39
  it's
• 3:39
  only
• 3:40
  like
• 3:40
  five
• 3:40
  or
• 3:40
  six
• 3:41
  episodes.
• 3:41
  That's.
• 3:41
  Which
• 3:42
  is
• 3:42
  my
• 3:42
  only.
• 3:42
  I
• 3:42
  know
• 3:42
  we.
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  know
• 3:43
  we've.
• 3:43
  We've
• 3:44
  griped
• 3:44
  about
• 3:44
  this
• 3:45
  before,
• 3:45
  and
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  agree
• 3:46
  that
• 3:46
  shows
• 3:47
  are
• 3:47
  way
• 3:47
  too
• 3:47
  short
• 3:47
  these
• 3:48
  days,
• 3:49
  but.
• 3:49
  But,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:50
  but
• 3:51
  I.
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  thought
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  intro
• 3:52
  was
• 3:52
  solid,
• 3:52
  so
• 3:53
  I'm
• 3:53
  looking
• 3:53
  forward
• 3:53
  to
• 3:53
  getting
• 3:54
  back
• 3:54
  into
• 3:54
  that.
• 3:54
  So,
• 3:54
  yeah,
• 3:55
  I
• 3:55
  need
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  watch
• 3:55
  that,
• 3:55
  too.
• 3:56
  It's
• 3:57
  just
• 3:57
  don't
• 3:57
  care
• 3:57
  about
• 3:57
  her
• 3:58
  character
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  comics,
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  it's
• 4:00
  going
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  be
• 4:00
  hard
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  convince
• 4:01
  me
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  watch
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  show.
• 4:01
  I
• 4:01
  mean,
• 4:01
  I'm
• 4:02
  gonna
• 4:02
  watch
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  show.
• 4:03
  It's
• 4:03
  just.
• 4:03
  Are
• 4:03
  they
• 4:04
  gonna
• 4:04
  convert
• 4:05
  me
• 4:05
  or
• 4:05
  not?
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  don't
• 4:06
  know.
• 4:06
  That's
• 4:06
  fair.
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  mean,
• 4:07
  you
• 4:07
  know,
• 4:07
  like,
• 4:07
  because
• 4:08
  it.
• 4:08
  Wasn't
• 4:08
  it
• 4:08
  Bendis
• 4:09
  who
• 4:09
  wrote
• 4:09
  the
• 4:10
  original
• 4:10
  run?
• 4:11
  I
• 4:11
  think
• 4:11
  so,
• 4:11
  yes.
• 4:11
  Okay.
• 4:12
  So,
• 4:12
  yeah,
• 4:12
  like,
• 4:12
  Bendis
• 4:13
  writing
• 4:13
  is
• 4:14
  very
• 4:14
  hit
• 4:14
  or
• 4:14
  miss
• 4:14
  for
• 4:15
  me.
• 4:15
  I'm
• 4:15
  not
• 4:15
  a
• 4:15
  Venice
• 4:15
  hater
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  not
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  Venice.
• 4:16
  Like,
• 4:17
  oh,
• 4:17
  my
• 4:17
  gosh,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  love
• 4:17
  everything
• 4:17
  he
• 4:18
  does.
• 4:19
  So
• 4:19
  I
• 4:19
  have
• 4:19
  not
• 4:19
  read
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  original
• 4:20
  yet,
• 4:20
  but.
• 4:21
  But
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  do
• 4:22
  think
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  actor
• 4:23
  is
• 4:23
  really
• 4:23
  strong.
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  think
• 4:24
  it's
• 4:24
  kind
• 4:24
  of
• 4:25

  an

  overview
• 7:02
  of

  thoughts?
• 7:05
  An

  overview.
• 7:05
  And
• 7:05
  I've
• 7:06
  also
• 7:06
  got
• 7:06
  some
• 7:06
  tidbits
• 7:07
  about
• 7:07
  how
• 7:07
  it
• 7:07
  originated
• 7:08
  as
• 7:08
  well.
• 7:08
  Yeah,
• 7:10
  I
• 7:10
  remember
• 7:11
  being
• 7:12
  super
• 7:12
  excited
• 7:12
  as
• 7:13
  a
• 7:13
  kid
• 7:14
  when
• 7:14
  I
• 7:14
  saw
• 7:15
  this
• 7:15
  coming
• 7:15
  up.
• 7:16
  My
• 7:17
  dad
• 7:17
  over
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  years
• 7:18
  and
• 7:19
  Cartoon
• 7:19
  Network
• 7:19
  at
• 7:19
  that
• 7:20
  time
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  think
• 7:20
  was
• 7:20
  starting
• 7:21
  to
• 7:21
  show
• 7:21
  more
• 7:21
  super
• 7:22
  friends
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  some
• 7:22
  of
• 7:22
  the
• 7:23
  older
• 7:23
  60s
• 7:24
  Superman
• 7:24
  cartoons
• 7:25
  and
• 7:25
  stuff
• 7:25
  like
• 7:25
  that.
• 7:25
  And
• 7:26
  dad
• 7:27
  has
• 7:27
  always
• 7:28
  been
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28

  from

  back
• 7:31
  in
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  day.
• 7:31
  And
• 7:32
  he
• 7:32
  showed
• 7:32
  me
• 7:32
  some
• 7:32
  of
• 7:32
  the,
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  think
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  cartoon
• 7:33
  from
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  80s
• 7:34
  that
• 7:34
  had
• 7:34
  Superman
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  it
• 7:35
  and
• 7:36
  now
• 7:36
  there
• 7:36
  was
• 7:36
  going
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  be
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  brand
• 7:37
  new
• 7:37
  one.
• 7:37
  It
• 7:37
  was
• 7:38
  going
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  be
• 7:38
  my
• 7:38
  Superman.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:40
  as
• 7:40
  someone
• 7:40
  who
• 7:41
  really
• 7:41
  grew
• 7:41
  up

  loving

  this
• 7:53
  is,
• 7:53
  he
• 7:54
  seems
• 7:54
  kind
• 7:54
  of
• 7:54
  weak,
• 7:55
  but
• 7:56
  he's
• 7:56
  still
• 7:56
  Superman.
• 7:57
  It's
• 7:57
  like
• 7:57
  that
• 7:58
  was
• 7:58
  an
• 7:58
  intentional
• 7:58
  thing
• 7:58
  they
• 7:59
  did
• 7:59
  as
• 7:59
  they
• 7:59
  nerfed
• 8:00
  him
• 8:00
  a
• 8:00
  little
• 8:00
  bit
• 8:01
  because
• 8:01
  Superman
• 8:02
  is
• 8:02
  really
• 8:02
  overpowered.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  so
• 8:04
  this
• 8:04
  is
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  Superman
• 8:05
  not
• 8:05
  in
• 8:05
  his
• 8:05
  prime
• 8:06
  yet.
• 8:06
  He's
• 8:06
  learning.
• 8:07
  Not
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  same
• 8:07
  way
• 8:07
  he
• 8:07
  is
• 8:08
  in
• 8:08
  my
• 8:08
  adventures
• 8:08
  with
• 8:08
  Superman.
• 8:09
  He's
• 8:09
  Got
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  little
• 8:10
  more
• 8:11
  prep.
• 8:11
  I
• 8:12
  say
• 8:12
  more
• 8:13
  street
• 8:13
  cred,
• 8:13
  I
• 8:14
  guess,
• 8:15
  growing
• 8:15
  up.
• 8:15
  But,
• 8:15
  like,
• 8:15
  he's
• 8:16
  learning
• 8:16
  things.
• 8:16
  He's
• 8:16
  figuring
• 8:17
  things
• 8:17
  out.
• 8:17
  How
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  be
• 8:17
  a
• 8:17
  better
• 8:18
  superhero,
• 8:18
  how
• 8:19
  strong
• 8:19
  he
• 8:19
  actually
• 8:20
  is,
• 8:20
  how
• 8:20
  to
• 8:20
  use
• 8:21
  his
• 8:21
  superpowers.
• 8:21
  Well,
• 8:22
  it
• 8:22
  was
• 8:22
  great.
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  love
• 8:23
  this
• 8:24
  show.
• 8:25
  It's
• 8:25
  a
• 8:25
  ton
• 8:25
  of
• 8:26
  fun.
• 8:26
  Like,
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  this
• 8:26
  day,
• 8:26
  you
• 8:27
  mentioned
• 8:27
  Clancy
• 8:27
  Brown,
• 8:28
  Lex
• 8:28
  Luthor.
• 8:28
  That's
• 8:29
  the
• 8:29
  only
• 8:29
  Lex
• 8:29
  Luthor
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  know.
• 8:31
  When
• 8:32
  I
• 8:32
  hear
• 8:32
  that
• 8:32
  voice.
• 8:33
  Yeah,
• 8:33
  you
• 8:33
  know,
• 8:33
  Smallville,
• 8:34
  Michael
• 8:34
  Rosenbaum,
• 8:34
  it
• 8:35
  does
• 8:35
  a
• 8:35
  great
• 8:35
  job.
• 8:36
  But
• 8:36
  when
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  think
• 8:37
  of
• 8:37
  Lex
• 8:37
  Luthor
• 8:38
  when
• 8:38
  I'm
• 8:38
  reading
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  comic,
• 8:39
  it's
• 8:39
  Clancy
• 8:40
  Brown's
• 8:40
  voice
• 8:40
  that
• 8:40
  I
• 8:41
  hear.
• 8:41
  That's
• 8:41
  what
• 8:41
  I
• 8:42
  say.
• 8:42
  It's
• 8:42
  Christopher
• 8:43
  David
• 8:43
  Barnes's
• 8:44
  voice
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  hear
• 8:44
  when
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  read
• 8:44
  Spider
• 8:45
  Man.
• 8:46
  They
• 8:46
  do
• 8:46
  a
• 8:46
  tremendous
• 8:47
  job
• 8:47
  here.
• 8:47
  And
• 8:48
  I
• 8:48
  know
• 8:48
  in
• 8:49
  Justice
• 8:49
  League,
• 8:49
  they
• 8:50
  changed
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  voice
• 8:50
  actor
• 8:50
  for
• 8:50
  Superman.
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  think
• 8:51
  it's
• 8:52
  George
• 8:52
  Norton
• 8:52
  or
• 8:52
  something
• 8:53
  like
• 8:53
  that.
• 8:53
  George
• 8:53
  Newburn.
• 8:54
  And
• 8:54
  I
• 8:54
  learned
• 8:55
  that
• 8:55
  recently.
• 8:56
  Yeah,
• 8:56
  it
• 8:56
  was
• 8:57
  just
• 8:57
  because
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  scheduling
• 8:58
  conflicts
• 8:58
  with
• 8:58
  Tim
• 8:58
  Daly.
• 8:59
  It
• 8:59
  was.
• 8:59
  No,
• 9:00
  it
• 9:00
  wasn't
• 9:00
  any
• 9:00
  bitterness
• 9:01
  or
• 9:01
  anything
• 9:01
  like
• 9:02
  that.
• 9:02
  It
• 9:02
  was
• 9:02
  just.
• 9:03
  He
• 9:03
  had
• 9:03
  some
• 9:03
  other
• 9:03
  projects,
• 9:04
  so
• 9:04
  it
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  very
• 9:05
  amicable
• 9:05
  thing.
• 9:05
  Because
• 9:05
  I
• 9:06
  wondered
• 9:06
  that,
• 9:06
  too.
• 9:06
  Like,
• 9:06
  because
• 9:07
  for
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  longest
• 9:07
  time,
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  thought
• 9:08
  they
• 9:08
  were
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  same
• 9:08
  because
• 9:08
  they
• 9:09
  sound
• 9:09
  so
• 9:09
  alike.
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  didn't
• 9:11
  even
• 9:11
  know
• 9:11
  growing
• 9:12
  up
• 9:12
  that
• 9:12
  it
• 9:12
  was
• 9:12
  different
• 9:12
  actors.
• 9:13
  But,
• 9:13
  yeah,
• 9:14
  when
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  listened
• 9:15
  to
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  audiobook
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  Superman
• 9:16
  beyond,
• 9:17
  our
• 9:17
  authorized
• 9:17
  biography,
• 9:18
  which
• 9:18
  is
• 9:18
  actually
• 9:19
  narrated
• 9:19
  by
• 9:20
  George
• 9:20
  Newbern,
• 9:21
  there's
• 9:21
  a
• 9:22
  section
• 9:22
  about
• 9:22
  that.
• 9:22
  Okay.
• 9:23
  Yeah.
• 9:24
  Like,
• 9:24
  this
• 9:24
  is
• 9:24
  a
• 9:25
  really
• 9:25
  fun
• 9:25
  show.
• 9:27
  One
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  things
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  really
• 9:28
  appreciate
• 9:28
  about
• 9:29
  this
• 9:29
  is
• 9:29
  I
• 9:29
  think
• 9:29
  it
• 9:30
  turned
• 9:30
  a
• 9:30
  lot
• 9:30
  of
• 9:30
  people
• 9:31
  away
• 9:31
  from
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  bad
• 9:32
  idea
• 9:32
  that
• 9:32
  I
• 9:33
  think
• 9:33
  we
• 9:33
  all
• 9:34
  get
• 9:34
  into
• 9:34
  at
• 9:34
  some
• 9:35
  point.
• 9:35
  It's
• 9:35
  like,
• 9:35
  superman's
• 9:36
  boring.
• 9:37
  He's
• 9:37
  just
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  big
• 9:37
  old
• 9:38
  big
• 9:38
  blue
• 9:39
  boy
• 9:39
  Scout.
• 9:40
  Like,
• 9:40
  there's
• 9:40
  not
• 9:41
  interesting.
• 9:41
  It's
• 9:42
  like,
• 9:42
  no,
• 9:43
  I
• 9:43
  think
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  good
• 9:43
  litmus
• 9:44
  test
• 9:44
  for
• 9:44
  people
• 9:45
  is
• 9:45
  that
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  go
• 9:46
  through
• 9:46
  that
• 9:46
  phase
• 9:46
  and
• 9:47
  then
• 9:47
  you
• 9:47
  grow
• 9:47
  out
• 9:48
  of
• 9:48
  it
• 9:48
  and
• 9:48
  go,
• 9:48
  no,
• 9:49
  Superman's
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  guy
• 9:50
  we
• 9:50
  need.
• 9:50
  Yeah,
• 9:51
  he's
• 9:51
  overpowered
• 9:52
  compared
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  lot
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  heroes,
• 9:53
  but,
• 9:53
  like,
• 9:53
  he's
• 9:53
  who
• 9:54
  we
• 9:54
  should
• 9:54
  be
• 9:54
  looking
• 9:54
  up
• 9:54
  to.
• 9:55
  In
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  same
• 9:55
  way
• 9:55
  that,
• 9:55
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:56
  Captain
• 9:56
  America
• 9:56
  is
• 9:56
  pretty
• 9:57
  much
• 9:57
  like
• 9:57
  the
• 9:57
  heart
• 9:57
  and
• 9:57
  soul
• 9:58
  of
• 9:58
  the
• 9:58
  Marvel
• 9:59
  Universe.
• 9:59
  Superman
• 9:59
  is
• 9:59
  the
• 10:00
  heart
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  soul
• 10:00
  of
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  DC
• 10:01
  Universe.
• 10:02
  Like,
• 10:02
  both
• 10:02
  men,
• 10:03
  you
• 10:03
  look
• 10:03
  up
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  them
• 10:03
  for
• 10:04
  similar
• 10:04
  reasons.
• 10:06
  And
• 10:06
  if
• 10:06
  you
• 10:06
  don't
• 10:06
  like
• 10:07
  Superman,
• 10:07
  I'm
• 10:08
  not
• 10:08
  saying
• 10:08
  you're
• 10:08
  a
• 10:08
  bad
• 10:08
  person,
• 10:09
  but
• 10:10
  saying
• 10:10
  you
• 10:10
  have
• 10:10
  some
• 10:11
  bad
• 10:11
  takes.
• 10:11
  No,
• 10:12
  absolutely.
• 10:12
  I
• 10:12
  mean,
• 10:13
  you
• 10:13
  know,
• 10:13
  I
• 10:14
  run
• 10:14
  into
• 10:14
  so
• 10:14
  many
• 10:15
  people
• 10:15
  over
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  years
• 10:15
  who
• 10:16
  are
• 10:16
  like,
• 10:16
  he's
• 10:17
  Just
• 10:17
  like,
• 10:17
  too
• 10:18
  good,
• 10:18
  too
• 10:19
  all
• 10:19
  powerful.
• 10:19
  And
• 10:19
  I
• 10:20
  think
• 10:20
  you're
• 10:20
  missing
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  point
• 10:20
  of
• 10:21
  Superman
• 10:21
  when
• 10:21
  you
• 10:22
  have
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  assumption,
• 10:23
  because
• 10:23
  there
• 10:23
  are
• 10:23
  so
• 10:24
  many
• 10:24
  stories
• 10:24
  that
• 10:25
  emphasize
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  human
• 10:26
  side
• 10:26
  of
• 10:27
  him
• 10:27
  and
• 10:27
  that
• 10:27
  he
• 10:27
  is
• 10:28
  not
• 10:28
  infallible
• 10:29
  by
• 10:29
  any
• 10:29
  means.
• 10:30
  And
• 10:30
  if
• 10:30
  you
• 10:31
  dig
• 10:31
  into
• 10:31
  some
• 10:31
  of
• 10:31
  the
• 10:31
  best
• 10:32
  superhero
• 10:32
  Superman
• 10:33
  stories,
• 10:33
  you'll
• 10:34
  see
• 10:34
  these
• 10:35
  really
• 10:35
  rich,
• 10:36
  rich
• 10:37
  characterization.
• 10:39
  You
• 10:40
  realize
• 10:40
  that
• 10:40
  he
• 10:40
  has
• 10:41
  strengths
• 10:41
  and
• 10:42
  weaknesses,
• 10:42
  and
• 10:42
  this
• 10:43
  show
• 10:43
  is,
• 10:43
  I
• 10:43
  think,
• 10:43
  one
• 10:44
  of
• 10:44
  the
• 10:44
  best
• 10:44
  depictions
• 10:44
  of
• 10:45
  that.
• 10:45
  Also,
• 10:45
  since
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  brought
• 10:46
  up
• 10:46
  Lex
• 10:46
  Luthor.
• 10:47
  Fun
• 10:47
  fact
• 10:47
  there
• 10:48
  is
• 10:48
  that
• 10:48
  Clancy
• 10:48
  Brown
• 10:49
  originally
• 10:49
  auditioned
• 10:50
  for
• 10:50
  Superman
• 10:51
  for
• 10:51
  this
• 10:51
  series
• 10:52
  and
• 10:52
  reluctantly
• 10:53
  took
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  role
• 10:53
  of
• 10:53
  Lex
• 10:53
  Luthor,
• 10:54
  which,
• 10:54
  funnily
• 10:55
  enough,
• 10:55
  the
• 10:55
  same
• 10:56
  thing.
• 10:56
  I
• 10:56
  wouldn't
• 10:56
  say
• 10:57
  reluctantly
• 10:57
  in
• 10:57
  this
• 10:57
  case,
• 10:58
  but
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  same
• 10:58
  thing
• 10:58
  happened
• 10:59
  with
• 10:59
  Nicholas
• 10:59
  Hoult
• 11:00
  in
• 11:00
  the
• 11:00
  new
• 11:00
  Superman
• 11:01
  movie.
• 11:01
  He
• 11:01
  auditioned
• 11:02
  for
• 11:02
  Superman
• 11:03
  actually
• 11:03
  on
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  same
• 11:04
  day
• 11:04
  as
• 11:04
  David
• 11:05
  Gordon
• 11:05
  Sweat.
• 11:05
  They
• 11:06
  were
• 11:06
  on
• 11:06
  an
• 11:06
  interview
• 11:07
  recently
• 11:07
  on
• 11:08
  Jimmy
• 11:09
  Kimmel.
• 11:09
  It
• 11:09
  was
• 11:09
  Diego
• 11:10
  Luna
• 11:10
  guest
• 11:10
  hosting,
• 11:11
  which.
• 11:11
  Check
• 11:12
  out
• 11:12
  that
• 11:12
  interview.
• 11:13
  It's
• 11:13
  just
• 11:13
  like
• 11:13
  the
• 11:13
  ultimate
• 11:14
  crossover
• 11:14
  there.
• 11:15
  Diego
• 11:15
  Luna
• 11:16
  interviewing
• 11:16
  David
• 11:17
  Corn
• 11:17
  Sweat
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  Nicholas
• 11:18
  Holt.
• 11:18
  But
• 11:18
  Nicholas
• 11:19
  Holt
• 11:19
  auditioned
• 11:20
  for
• 11:20
  Superman
• 11:20
  that
• 11:20
  day.
• 11:20
  And
• 11:20
  then
• 11:21
  when
• 11:21
  he
• 11:21
  met
• 11:21
  David
• 11:21
  Corn
• 11:22
  Sweat,
• 11:22
  he
• 11:22
  was
• 11:22
  like,
• 11:22
  yeah,
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  guy's
• 11:23
  born
• 11:23
  to
• 11:24
  play
• 11:24
  Kal
• 11:24
  El.
• 11:24
  And
• 11:25
  so.
• 11:25
  And,
• 11:25
  you
• 11:25
  know,
• 11:25
  and
• 11:25
  then.
• 11:26
  And
• 11:27
  then
• 11:27
  he
• 11:27
  was
• 11:27
  still
• 11:27
  elated
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  accept
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  role
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  Lex
• 11:30
  Luthor.
• 11:30
  But
• 11:30
  I
• 11:30
  find
• 11:30
  it
• 11:31
  funny
• 11:31
  that,
• 11:31
  you
• 11:31
  know,
• 11:32
  there
• 11:32
  was
• 11:32
  a
• 11:33
  parallel
• 11:33
  here.
• 11:34
  So.
• 11:34
  Yeah,
• 11:34
  but
• 11:34
  it.
• 11:34
  But
• 11:35
  it
• 11:35
  is
• 11:35
  just
• 11:35
  a
• 11:35
  brilliant
• 11:36
  voice
• 11:36
  cast
• 11:36
  all
• 11:37
  around,
• 11:37
  brilliant
• 11:38
  animation,
• 11:38
  and
• 11:39
  a
• 11:39
  little
• 11:39
  bit
• 11:39
  about
• 11:40
  the
• 11:40
  origin
• 11:40
  of
• 11:40
  the
• 11:41
  series.
• 11:41
  So
• 11:41
  obviously,
• 11:42
  Batman
• 11:42
  and
• 11:43
  the
• 11:43
  Animated
• 11:43
  Series
• 11:43
  had
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  profound
• 11:44
  impact
• 11:46
  on
• 11:46
  pop
• 11:46
  culture
• 11:47
  in
• 11:47
  the
• 11:47
  90s
• 11:48
  and
• 11:48
  still
• 11:48
  does
• 11:48
  today.
• 11:49
  It's,
• 11:49
  you
• 11:49
  know,
• 11:50
  still
• 11:50
  regarded
• 11:51
  as
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  best
• 11:52
  Batman
• 11:52
  adaptation
• 11:53
  of
• 11:53
  all
• 11:53
  time.
• 11:53
  And
• 11:54
  so
• 11:54
  at
• 11:55
  this
• 11:55
  point,
• 11:55
  you
• 11:56
  know,
• 11:56
  by
• 11:56
  96,
• 11:57
  Warner
• 11:58
  Brothers
• 11:58
  was
• 11:58
  pushing
• 11:59
  for
• 11:59
  a
• 11:59
  Superman
• 11:59
  series
• 12:00
  because
• 12:01
  of
• 12:01
  the
• 12:02
  upcoming
• 12:03
  Superman
• 12:03
  movie
• 12:03
  that
• 12:04
  never
• 12:04
  happened.
• 12:04
  If
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  want
• 12:05
  a
• 12:05
  whole.
• 12:06
  There
• 12:06
  are
• 12:06
  infinite
• 12:07
  podcasts
• 12:07
  and
• 12:08
  articles
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  stories
• 12:09
  on
• 12:09
  that.
• 12:09
  There's
• 12:09
  actually
• 12:09
  a
• 12:10
  whole
• 12:10
  documentary.
• 12:10
  The
• 12:11
  death
• 12:11
  of
• 12:11
  Superman
• 12:12
  Lives.
• 12:12
  What
• 12:12
  happened?
• 12:13
  This
• 12:13
  was
• 12:13
  the
• 12:14
  famous
• 12:15
  Tim
• 12:16
  Burton
• 12:16
  Superman
• 12:17
  movie
• 12:17
  with
• 12:17
  Nicolas
• 12:18
  Cage.
• 12:18
  That
• 12:18
  never
• 12:18
  happened,
• 12:19
  sadly,
• 12:20
  because
• 12:20
  I
• 12:20
  really.
• 12:22
  I
• 12:22
  could
• 12:22
  live
• 12:22
  in
• 12:22
  an
• 12:22
  alternate
• 12:23
  universe
• 12:23
  where
• 12:23
  I
• 12:23
  could
• 12:23
  see
• 12:24
  that
• 12:24
  movie.
• 12:24
  I
• 12:25
  wish
• 12:25
  I
• 12:25
  could,
• 12:26
  but.
• 12:26
  But
• 12:27
  they
• 12:27
  were.
• 12:27
  You
• 12:27
  know,
• 12:28
  this
• 12:28
  series
• 12:29
  was
• 12:30
  developed
• 12:31
  in
• 12:31
  order
• 12:31
  to
• 12:32
  help
• 12:32
  coincide
• 12:33
  with
• 12:33
  and
• 12:33
  promote
• 12:34
  that
• 12:34
  movie.
• 12:35
  So
• 12:35
  it
• 12:35
  is
• 12:36
  ironic
• 12:36
  that
• 12:36
  that
• 12:36
  movie
• 12:37
  never
• 12:37
  happened.
• 12:37
  But
• 12:38
  thankfully,
• 12:38
  we
• 12:39
  got
• 12:39
  this
• 12:39
  series
• 12:39
  nonetheless.
• 12:40
  And
• 12:40
  at
• 12:41
  that
• 12:41
  point,
• 12:41
  Bruce
• 12:42
  Tim
• 12:42
  had
• 12:43
  gone
• 12:43
  on
• 12:44
  to
• 12:44
  actually
• 12:45
  have
• 12:45
  meetings
• 12:45
  with
• 12:45
  Steven
• 12:46
  Spielberg
• 12:46
  about
• 12:47
  developing
• 12:47
  an
• 12:48
  animated
• 12:48
  series
• 12:48
  because
• 12:49
  Spielberg
• 12:50
  was
• 12:50
  impressed
• 12:50
  with
• 12:50
  his
• 12:51
  work
• 12:51
  on
• 12:51
  Batman,
• 12:51
  the
• 12:52
  Animated
• 12:52
  series
• 12:53
  that
• 12:53
  eventually
• 12:54
  turned
• 12:54
  into.
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  think
• 12:55
  it's
• 12:55
  called
• 12:55
  Freakazoid.
• 12:57
  It
• 12:57
  was
• 12:57
  like,
• 12:58
  which
• 12:58
  Bruce
• 12:58
  Tim
• 12:59
  had
• 12:59
  involvement
• 13:00
  with.
• 13:00
  He
• 13:01
  ended
• 13:01
  up
• 13:01
  just
• 13:01
  getting
• 13:02
  kind.
• 13:02
  He
• 13:03
  had
• 13:03
  a
• 13:03
  different
• 13:04
  pitch
• 13:05
  originally
• 13:05
  for
• 13:06
  what
• 13:06
  he
• 13:06
  wanted
• 13:06
  to
• 13:07
  be.
• 13:07
  And
• 13:07
  then,
• 13:07
  you
• 13:08
  know,
• 13:08
  visions
• 13:08
  collided
• 13:09
  and
• 13:09
  they
• 13:09
  changed,
• 13:09
  so
• 13:10
  he
• 13:10
  didn't
• 13:10
  stay
• 13:10
  on
• 13:11
  the
• 13:11
  show
• 13:11
  for
• 13:11
  long.
• 13:11
  And
• 13:12
  then
• 13:12
  once
• 13:12
  he
• 13:13
  was
• 13:13
  freed
• 13:13
  up,
• 13:13
  Warner
• 13:14
  Brothers
• 13:14
  came
• 13:14
  back
• 13:14
  to
• 13:14
  him
• 13:15
  and
• 13:15
  asked
• 13:15
  him
• 13:15
  to
• 13:15
  develop
• 13:16
  Superman.
• 13:16
  So,
• 13:17
  you
• 13:17
  know,
• 13:17
  thank
• 13:18
  God
• 13:18
  he
• 13:18
  was
• 13:18
  available,
• 13:19
  because
• 13:19
  I
• 13:19
  can't
• 13:20
  imagine
• 13:20
  anyone
• 13:21
  else
• 13:22
  helming
• 13:23
  not
• 13:23
  only
• 13:24
  this
• 13:24
  series,
• 13:24
  but
• 13:24
  the
• 13:25
  rest
• 13:25
  of
• 13:25
  the
• 13:25
  DC
• 13:26
  Animated
• 13:26
  Universe.
• 13:27
  Even
• 13:27
  though
• 13:27
  it
• 13:28
  was
• 13:28
  not
• 13:28
  planned
• 13:29
  on
• 13:29
  being
• 13:29
  this
• 13:29
  interconnected
• 13:30
  universe
• 13:30
  from
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  beginning,
• 13:31
  it
• 13:32
  just
• 13:32
  started
• 13:32
  off
• 13:32
  as
• 13:32
  Batman.
• 13:33
  I
• 13:33
  am
• 13:33
  so
• 13:33
  glad
• 13:34
  that
• 13:34
  it
• 13:34
  did
• 13:34
  evolve
• 13:35
  into
• 13:35
  this
• 13:36
  wonderful,
• 13:36
  rich,
• 13:37
  interconnected
• 13:37
  universe.
• 13:38
  And
• 13:39
  Superman
• 13:39
  is
• 13:39
  a
• 13:39
  great
• 13:39
  addition
• 13:40
  to
• 13:40
  that.
• 13:40
  And
• 13:41
  so,
• 13:41
  yeah,
• 13:41
  so
• 13:41
  Bruce
• 13:42
  Cam,
• 13:42
  Paul
• 13:43
  Dini,
• 13:44
  a
• 13:44
  lot
• 13:44
  of
• 13:44
  these
• 13:44
  same
• 13:45
  creators
• 13:45
  from
• 13:46
  Batman,
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  Animated
• 13:47
  Series
• 13:47
  came
• 13:47
  on
• 13:48
  to
• 13:48
  work
• 13:48
  on
• 13:48
  Superman.
• 13:49
  And
• 13:49
  originally
• 13:50
  they
• 13:50
  were
• 13:50
  drawing
• 13:50
  a
• 13:51
  lot
• 13:51
  of
• 13:51
  inspiration
• 13:52
  from
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  Max
• 13:53
  Fleischer
• 13:54
  cartoons
• 13:55
  of
• 13:55
  the
• 13:55
  1940s,
• 13:56
  which,
• 13:57
  if
• 13:57
  you.
• 13:57
  I
• 13:58
  think
• 13:58
  you
• 13:58
  can
• 13:58
  still
• 13:58
  probably
• 13:59
  see
• 13:59
  those
• 13:59
  somewhere,
• 14:00
  probably
• 14:00
  on
• 14:01
  YouTube
• 14:01
  or
• 14:03
  maybe
• 14:03
  physical
• 14:03
  copies.
• 14:04
  Yeah,
• 14:04
  or
• 14:04
  they
• 14:04
  may
• 14:04
  be
• 14:05
  physical
• 14:05
  copies.
• 14:06
  It's
• 14:06
  a.
• 14:06
  You
• 14:07
  know,
• 14:07
  that
• 14:07
  was
• 14:07
  an
• 14:07
  iconic
• 14:08
  Superman
• 14:09
  adaptation
• 14:10
  back
• 14:11
  at
• 14:11
  that
• 14:11
  time
• 14:11
  and
• 14:12
  had
• 14:12
  a
• 14:12
  profound
• 14:12
  impact
• 14:13
  on
• 14:13
  the
• 14:14
  comics
• 14:14
  and
• 14:14
  on
• 14:15
  the
• 14:15
  radio
• 14:16
  serials,
• 14:16
  the
• 14:17
  movie
• 14:17
  serials,
• 14:18
  all
• 14:18
  of
• 14:18
  that.
• 14:19
  And,
• 14:19
  you
• 14:20
  know,
• 14:20
  originally
• 14:20
  they
• 14:21
  were
• 14:21
  trying
• 14:21
  to
• 14:21
  model
• 14:21
  it
• 14:21
  after
• 14:22
  that,
• 14:22
  but
• 14:22
  then
• 14:22
  they
• 14:22
  decided,
• 14:23
  no,
• 14:23
  we
• 14:23
  kind
• 14:24
  of
• 14:24
  need
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  do
• 14:24
  something
• 14:24
  different
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  we
• 14:25
  need
• 14:25
  to
• 14:25
  make
• 14:25
  it,
• 14:26
  you
• 14:26
  know,
• 14:27
  like
• 14:27
  something.
• 14:28
  They
• 14:28
  drew
• 14:28
  a
• 14:28
  lot
• 14:29
  of
• 14:29
  inspiration
• 14:29
  from
• 14:30
  the
• 14:30
  John
• 14:31
  Byrne
• 14:31
  man
• 14:31
  of
• 14:31
  Steel
• 14:32
  series,
• 14:33
  which
• 14:33
  was
• 14:33
  the.
• 14:33
  At
• 14:34
  that
• 14:34
  time,
• 14:34
  the
• 14:35
  freshest
• 14:36
  retelling
• 14:37
  of
• 14:37
  Superman's
• 14:38
  origin.
• 14:38
  So
• 14:39
  that
• 14:39
  became
• 14:39
  a
• 14:39
  huge
• 14:39
  impact.
• 14:40
  And
• 14:40
  then
• 14:40
  also,
• 14:41
  like,
• 14:41
  with
• 14:41
  the
• 14:42
  aesthetic
• 14:42
  of
• 14:42
  Batman,
• 14:42
  the
• 14:43
  Animated
• 14:43
  Series,
• 14:43
  I
• 14:43
  think
• 14:44
  they
• 14:44
  did
• 14:45
  want
• 14:45
  it
• 14:45
  to
• 14:45
  kind
• 14:46
  of
• 14:46
  fit
• 14:46
  into
• 14:47
  that
• 14:47
  world.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:48
  so
• 14:48
  they
• 14:48
  have
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  art
• 14:49
  deco
• 14:49
  style
• 14:49
  here.
• 14:50
  And,
• 14:50
  you
• 14:51
  know,
• 14:51
  I
• 14:51
  mean,
• 14:51
  just
• 14:51
  look
• 14:51
  at
• 14:52
  that
• 14:52
  image
• 14:52
  right
• 14:52
  there.
• 14:52
  I
• 14:53
  think,
• 14:53
  you
• 14:53
  know,
• 14:53
  they
• 14:53
  could
• 14:53
  not
• 14:54
  have
• 14:54
  come
• 14:54
  up
• 14:54
  with
• 14:54
  a
• 14:54
  better
• 14:55
  version
• 14:56
  that
• 14:56
  fit
• 14:57
  both
• 14:57
  the
• 14:58
  modern
• 14:58
  era,
• 14:58
  but
• 14:59
  also
• 15:00
  called,
• 15:00
  you
• 15:01
  know,
• 15:02
  derived
• 15:03
  inspiration
• 15:04
  from
• 15:04
  the
• 15:05
  classic
• 15:06
  Superman
• 15:07
  art,
• 15:07
  illustrations,
• 15:08
  cartoons.
• 15:09
  And
• 15:10
  so,
• 15:10
  you
• 15:10
  know,
• 15:10
  you
• 15:11
  get
• 15:11
  this
• 15:11
  version.
• 15:11
  I
• 15:12
  think
• 15:12
  it
• 15:12
  fits
• 15:12
  seamlessly
• 15:13
  in
• 15:13
  with
• 15:13
  the
• 15:14
  rest
• 15:14
  of
• 15:14
  the
• 15:14
  DC
• 15:14
  Animated
• 15:15
  Universe.
• 15:15
  And
• 15:15
  so,
• 15:16
  yeah,
• 15:16
  but
• 15:16
  I
• 15:17
  am.
• 15:17
  But
• 15:17
  I
• 15:17
  always
• 15:17
  find
• 15:17
  it
• 15:17
  funny
• 15:18
  that,
• 15:18
  like,
• 15:18
  yeah,
• 15:19
  it
• 15:19
  was
• 15:19
  developed
• 15:20
  as
• 15:21
  almost
• 15:21
  a
• 15:21
  promotion
• 15:22
  for
• 15:22
  the
• 15:22
  Superman
• 15:23
  movie
• 15:23
  that
• 15:23
  never
• 15:23
  happened.
• 15:24
  And
• 15:24
  it
• 15:24
  would
• 15:24
  then
• 15:25
  still
• 15:25
  take
• 15:26
  almost,
• 15:26
  actually
• 15:27
  a
• 15:27
  full.
• 15:27
  I
• 15:27
  mean,
• 15:28
  Superman,
• 15:28
  the
• 15:28
  Animated
• 15:29
  series
• 15:29
  premiered
• 15:29
  in
• 15:29
  1996.
• 15:30
  The
• 15:31
  next
• 15:31
  Superman
• 15:31
  movie
• 15:32
  didn't
• 15:32
  happen
• 15:32
  until
• 15:33
  2000.
• 15:34
  Was
• 15:34
  it
• 15:34
  2006
• 15:35
  or
• 15:35
  7
• 15:35
  with
• 15:36
  Superman
• 15:36
  Returns?
• 15:36
  I.
• 15:37
  I
• 15:37
  wanna.
• 15:38
  I
• 15:38
  want
• 15:39
  to
• 15:39
  say
• 15:39
  it
• 15:39
  was
• 15:39
  06,
• 15:40
  because
• 15:40
  I
• 15:41
  was
• 15:41
  in
• 15:41
  sixth
• 15:42
  grade
• 15:42
  at
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  time.
• 15:43
  I
• 15:43
  Remember,
• 15:44
  because
• 15:44
  I
• 15:44
  saw
• 15:44
  it.
• 15:46
  Yeah.
• 15:46
  So
• 15:47
  a
• 15:47
  full
• 15:47
  decade
• 15:47
  later,
• 15:48
  we
• 15:48
  would
• 15:48
  finally
• 15:48
  get
• 15:48
  another
• 15:49
  Superman
• 15:49
  movie.
• 15:50
  It
• 15:50
  was
• 15:50
  a
• 15:50
  long
• 15:50
  road
• 15:51
  to
• 15:51
  that.
• 15:52
  And
• 15:52
  there
• 15:52
  were
• 15:52
  a
• 15:52
  number
• 15:53
  of
• 15:53
  projects
• 15:54
  that
• 15:54
  almost
• 15:54
  happened
• 15:55
  and
• 15:55
  were
• 15:55
  then
• 15:55
  abandoned.
• 15:56
  So
• 15:56
  it's
• 15:56
  a
• 15:56
  fascinating
• 15:57
  transition
• 15:57
  there.
• 15:58
  But.
• 15:58
  But
• 15:58
  we
• 15:58
  did
• 15:59
  get,
• 15:59
  you
• 15:59
  know,
• 15:59
  54
• 16:00
  episodes
• 16:00
  of
• 16:00
  this
• 16:01
  series
• 16:01
  and
• 16:01
  I
• 16:01
  think
• 16:01
  it
• 16:01
  still
• 16:02
  really
• 16:02
  holds
• 16:02
  up.
• 16:02
  So.
• 17:44
  So,
• 17:44
  yeah,
• 17:44
  that
• 17:44
  is
• 17:45
  a
• 17:45
  little
• 17:45
  bit
• 17:46
  of
• 17:46
  a
• 17:47
  history
• 17:47
  and
• 17:48
  going
• 17:48
  into
• 17:50
  what
• 17:50
  the
• 17:50
  series
• 17:51
  is
• 17:51
  and
• 17:52
  looking
• 17:52
  at,
• 17:53
  you
• 17:53
  know,
• 17:53
  some
• 17:53
  of
• 17:54
  the
• 17:54
  big
• 17:54
  ideas
• 17:55
  portrayed
• 17:56
  in
• 17:56
  the
• 17:56
  series
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  how
• 17:57
  it's
• 17:58
  picked
• 17:58
  Superman
• 17:58
  in
• 17:59
  the
• 17:59
  DC
• 16:18
  universe.
• 18:00
  Christian,
• 18:00
  what
• 18:00
  were
• 18:01
  some
• 18:01
  of
• 18:01
  the
• 18:01
  biggest
• 18:02
  themes
• 18:03
  of
• 18:03
  the
• 18:03
  series
• 18:03
  that
• 18:04
  really
• 18:04
  stood
• 18:04
  out
• 18:04
  to
• 18:04
  you?
• 18:05
  A
• 18:06
  huge
• 18:06
  part
• 18:06
  of
• 18:07
  this
• 18:07
  is
• 18:08
  Clark,
• 18:09
  like,
• 18:09
  learning
• 18:09
  who
• 18:10
  he
• 18:10
  is.
• 18:10
  What
• 18:10
  does
• 18:10
  it
• 18:11
  mean
• 18:11
  to
• 18:11
  be
• 18:11
  this
• 18:12
  Kryptonian,
• 18:13
  not
• 18:13
  born
• 18:13
  on
• 18:14
  Earth,
• 18:14
  but
• 18:14
  pretty
• 18:14
  much
• 18:14
  adopted
• 18:15
  by
• 18:15
  Earth
• 18:16
  through
• 18:16
  extra
• 18:16
  normal
• 18:17
  means
• 18:18
  coming
• 18:18
  here
• 18:20
  because
• 18:21
  he's
• 18:21
  not
• 18:21
  like
• 18:21
  everyone
• 18:22
  else
• 18:22
  and
• 18:22
  yet
• 18:22
  he
• 18:22
  does
• 18:23
  look
• 18:23
  pretty
• 18:23
  similar
• 18:23
  to
• 18:24
  everyone
• 18:24
  else.
• 18:24
  So
• 18:24
  it's
• 18:24
  enough
• 18:25
  for
• 18:25
  him
• 18:25
  to
• 18:25
  fit
• 18:25
  in
• 18:26
  that
• 18:26
  way.
• 18:27
  But
• 18:27
  he's
• 18:27
  also
• 18:27
  got
• 18:28
  this
• 18:28
  huge
• 18:28
  responsibility
• 18:29
  that
• 18:29
  comes
• 18:29
  from
• 18:30
  having
• 18:30
  two
• 18:30
  really
• 18:31
  great
• 18:31
  adopted
• 18:32
  parents
• 18:32
  who
• 18:33
  instill
• 18:33
  these
• 18:34
  intensely
• 18:36
  amazing
• 18:36
  moral
• 18:37
  values
• 18:37
  into
• 18:37
  him
• 18:38
  to
• 18:38
  be
• 18:38
  the
• 18:39
  better
• 18:39
  man
• 18:39
  to
• 18:39
  guide
• 18:40
  someone
• 18:40
  who
• 18:40
  could
• 18:40
  have
• 18:40
  easily
• 18:41
  ended
• 18:41
  up
• 18:41
  way
• 18:42
  worse.
• 18:42
  To
• 18:42
  the
• 18:43
  point
• 18:43
  where
• 18:43
  we
• 18:43
  have
• 18:43
  50
• 18:43
  billion
• 18:44
  evil
• 18:44
  Superman
• 18:45
  knockoffs
• 18:45
  to
• 18:46
  this
• 18:46
  day
• 18:47
  across
• 18:47
  multiple
• 18:47
  media,
• 18:48
  which
• 18:48
  is
• 18:48
  a
• 18:48
  huge
• 18:48
  problem.
• 18:49
  But
• 18:49
  that's
• 18:49
  a
• 18:49
  separate
• 18:49
  issue.
• 18:50
  But
• 18:50
  to
• 18:51
  then
• 18:51
  this
• 18:51
  humble
• 18:52
  guy
• 18:53
  who
• 18:53
  just
• 18:53
  wants
• 18:53
  to
• 18:54
  help
• 18:54
  people
• 18:55
  and
• 18:55
  look
• 18:55
  after
• 18:56
  them
• 18:56
  well
• 18:56
  also,
• 18:57
  like
• 18:57
  have
• 18:57
  a
• 18:57
  career
• 18:59
  and
• 18:59
  the
• 18:59
  girl
• 18:59
  of
• 18:59
  his
• 18:59
  dreams.
• 19:00
  And
• 19:00
  Lois
• 19:00
  Lane,
• 19:00
  who
• 19:01
  Lois
• 19:01
  Lane
• 19:01
  in
• 19:01
  this
• 19:01
  series
• 19:02
  is
• 19:02
  tremendous.
• 19:03
  They
• 19:03
  do
• 19:03
  a
• 19:03
  great
• 19:03
  job
• 19:03
  with
• 19:04
  her.
• 19:05
  But
• 19:05
  like
• 19:06
  learning
• 19:06
  what
• 19:06
  does
• 19:06
  it
• 19:06
  mean
• 19:07
  to
• 19:07
  be
• 19:07
  this
• 19:07
  human.
• 19:08
  But
• 19:08
  actually
• 19:08
  I'm
• 19:09
  really
• 19:09
  a
• 19:09
  Kryptonian.
• 19:10
  But
• 19:10
  I
• 19:10
  want
• 19:11
  to
• 19:11
  be
• 19:11
  with
• 19:11
  these
• 19:11
  people
• 19:12
  who've
• 19:12
  adopted
• 19:13
  me
• 19:13
  as
• 19:13
  their
• 19:13
  own
• 19:14
  and
• 19:14
  watch
• 19:14
  out
• 19:15
  for
• 19:15
  them
• 19:15
  and
• 19:15
  pay
• 19:16
  back
• 19:16
  what's
• 19:16
  been
• 19:16
  given
• 19:16
  to
• 19:17
  me.
• 19:18
  And
• 19:18
  at
• 19:18
  the
• 19:18
  same
• 19:19
  time,
• 19:19
  what
• 19:19
  does
• 19:20
  it
• 19:20
  mean
• 19:20
  to
• 19:20
  be
• 19:20
  like
• 19:20
  this
• 19:21
  hero
• 19:22
  and
• 19:22
  have
• 19:23
  people
• 19:23
  looking
• 19:23
  up
• 19:23
  to
• 19:23
  you?
• 19:24
  What
• 19:24
  does
• 19:24
  it
• 19:24
  mean
• 19:24
  when
• 19:24
  you
• 19:24
  fail
• 19:25
  them?
• 19:25
  What
• 19:25
  does
• 19:26
  it
• 19:26
  mean
• 19:26
  at
• 19:27
  the
• 19:27
  very
• 19:27
  end
• 19:27
  of
• 19:27
  the
• 19:27
  series,
• 19:28
  people
• 19:28
  really
• 19:28
  lose
• 19:29
  their
• 19:29
  faith
• 19:29
  in
• 19:30
  Superman
• 19:30
  because
• 19:31
  of
• 19:31
  what
• 19:31
  Darkseid
• 19:31
  does
• 19:31
  to
• 19:32
  him.
• 19:32
  And
• 19:32
  having
• 19:32
  him
• 19:33
  attack
• 19:33
  the
• 19:33
  Earth
• 19:34
  and
• 19:34
  pretty
• 19:34
  much
• 19:34
  take
• 19:34
  it
• 19:34
  over
• 19:35
  in
• 19:35
  his
• 19:35
  name.
• 19:36
  That's
• 19:36
  dealt
• 19:37
  with
• 19:37
  as
• 19:37
  they
• 19:37
  eventually
• 19:38
  do
• 19:38
  get
• 19:38
  to
• 19:38
  the

  how

  much

  it

  wounds

  that

• 20:06
  Could

  imagine

  that

  Clark

• 20:08
  could
• 20:08
  actually
• 20:08
  be
• 20:08
  Superman,
• 20:09
  because
• 20:09
  why
• 20:10
  would
• 20:10
  a
• 20:10
  God
• 20:11
  debase
• 20:11
  himself
• 20:12
  to
• 20:12
  the
• 20:12
  form
• 20:13
  of
• 20:13
  a

  human?
• 20:14
  Especially
• 20:14
  a
• 20:15
  reporter
• 20:15
  who
• 20:15
  doesn't
• 20:15
  get

  paid
• 20:16
  as
• 20:17
  much
• 20:17
  as
• 20:17
  anyone
• 20:17
  else.
• 20:18
  Like,
• 20:19
  it's
• 20:19
  a
• 20:19
  great
• 20:20
  contrast
• 20:20
  between
• 20:20
  the
• 20:21
  two
• 20:21
  of
• 20:21
  them.
• 20:22
  I'm
• 20:22
  going
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  stop
• 20:23
  before
• 20:23
  I
• 20:23
  take
• 20:23
  away
• 20:23
  more
• 20:24
  of
• 20:24
  your
• 20:25
  opportunities
• 20:25
  to
• 20:26
  talk
• 20:26
  about
• 20:26
  stuff.
• 20:27
  No,
• 20:27
  absolutely.
• 20:27
  Those
• 20:28
  are.
• 20:28
  I
• 20:28
  mean,
• 20:28
  I
• 20:29
  totally
• 20:29
  agree
• 20:29
  with
• 20:29
  all
• 20:30
  that.
• 20:30
  And
• 20:30
  then,
• 20:31
  you
• 20:31
  know,
• 20:31
  another
• 20:31
  thing
• 20:31
  is,
• 20:32
  like,
• 20:32
  one
• 20:32
  of
• 20:32
  the
• 20:33
  villains
• 20:33
  that
• 20:33
  I
• 20:33
  forgot
• 20:34
  was
• 20:34
  in
• 20:34
  this
• 20:34
  series
• 20:34
  until
• 20:35
  doing
• 20:36
  a
• 20:36
  rewatch
• 20:37
  was
• 20:37
  Livewire.
• 20:38
  And
• 20:38
  that
• 20:39
  opened
• 20:39
  doors
• 20:39
  for,
• 20:40
  you
• 20:40
  know,
• 20:41
  looking
• 20:41
  at
• 20:41
  the
• 20:42
  jealousy
• 20:42
  that
• 20:42
  a
• 20:43
  lot
• 20:43
  of
• 20:43
  the
• 20:43
  characters
• 20:43
  had
• 20:43
  towards
• 20:44
  Superman.
• 20:44
  Even
• 20:44
  though,
• 20:44
  like
• 20:45
  you
• 20:45
  said,
• 20:45
  he
• 20:45
  is
• 20:46
  a
• 20:46
  humble
• 20:46
  one.
• 20:46
  He's
• 20:46
  not
• 20:47
  in
• 20:47
  it
• 20:47
  for
• 20:47
  the
• 20:47
  fame
• 20:47
  and
• 20:47
  the
• 20:48
  glory.
• 20:48
  He's
• 20:48
  just
• 20:49
  like,
• 20:49
  here
• 20:49
  to
• 20:50
  help
• 20:50
  people.
• 20:50
  But
• 20:50
  still
• 20:51
  they.
• 20:52
  Some
• 20:52
  of
• 20:52
  the
• 20:52
  villains
• 20:53
  originated
• 20:54
  from
• 20:55
  this
• 20:55
  desire
• 20:56
  or
• 20:56
  this,
• 20:57
  like,
• 20:57
  greed
• 20:57
  and
• 20:58
  jealousy
• 20:59
  because
• 20:59
  they
• 21:00
  saw
• 21:00
  him
• 21:00
  getting
• 21:00
  all
• 21:01
  the
• 21:01
  glory
• 21:01
  and
• 21:01
  getting
• 21:01
  all
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  praise.
• 21:02
  And,
• 21:02
  you
• 21:03
  know,
• 21:03
  they
• 21:03
  wanted
• 21:03
  to
• 21:04
  establish
• 21:04
  names
• 21:05
  for
• 21:05
  themselves
• 21:05
  as
• 21:05
  well
• 21:05
  and
• 21:06
  get,
• 21:06
  you
• 21:06
  know,
• 21:06
  and
• 21:07
  are
• 21:07
  like.
• 21:07
  And
• 21:07
  they're
• 21:08
  like,
• 21:08
  you
• 21:08
  know,
• 21:08
  what's
• 21:08
  so
• 21:08
  great
• 21:09
  about
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  big
• 21:09
  blue
• 21:10
  guy
• 21:10
  over
• 21:10
  there?
• 21:11
  You
• 21:11
  know,
• 21:11
  he's
• 21:11
  just
• 21:12
  like.
• 21:12
  It's
• 21:12
  almost
• 21:12
  like
• 21:13
  the
• 21:13
  cynicism,
• 21:14
  some
• 21:14
  of
• 21:14
  the
• 21:14
  villains
• 21:15
  out
• 21:15
  here
• 21:15
  is
• 21:16
  mirrored
• 21:16
  within
• 21:17
  a
• 21:17
  lot
• 21:17
  of
• 21:17
  the
• 21:18
  cynicism
• 21:18
  that
• 21:19
  people
• 21:19
  have
• 21:20
  towards
• 21:20
  Superman
• 21:20
  today.
• 21:21
  Not
• 21:21
  calling
• 21:21
  those
• 21:21
  people
• 21:22
  villains,
• 21:22
  but
• 21:22
  I'm
• 21:22
  just
• 21:23
  saying
• 21:23
  that.
• 21:24
  But
• 21:24
  that's
• 21:25
  what,
• 21:25
  you
• 21:25
  know,
• 21:25
  they
• 21:25
  definitely
• 21:26
  draw
• 21:26
  that
• 21:27
  idea
• 21:27
  of,
• 21:27
  you
• 21:27
  know,
• 21:29
  what
• 21:29
  makes
• 21:29
  Superman
• 21:29
  relevant
• 21:30
  and,
• 21:30
  you
• 21:30
  know,
• 21:31
  you
• 21:31
  know,
• 21:31
  and
• 21:32
  using
• 21:32
  that
• 21:32
  as
• 21:33
  kind
• 21:33
  of
• 21:33
  a
• 21:33
  catalyst
• 21:34
  to
• 21:34
  build
• 21:35
  on
• 21:35
  some
• 21:35
  of
• 21:35
  the
• 21:35
  villain
• 21:36
  themes
• 21:36
  here,
• 21:36
  which
• 21:36
  I
• 21:37
  found
• 21:37
  really
• 21:37
  interesting
• 21:38
  because
• 21:38
  it's
• 21:38
  that,
• 21:39
  you
• 21:39
  know,
• 21:39
  one
• 21:39
  of
• 21:40
  the
• 21:40
  things
• 21:40
  that
• 21:41
  made
• 21:41
  Batman
• 21:42
  the
• 21:42
  Animated
• 21:42
  Series
• 21:42
  so
• 21:43
  iconic
• 21:43
  was
• 21:43
  he
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  course,
• 21:44
  has
• 21:45
  one
• 21:45
  of
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  best
• 21:45
  rogues
• 21:46
  galleries
• 21:46
  in
• 21:46
  all
• 21:47
  of
• 21:47
  comics.
• 21:47
  And,
• 21:47
  you
• 21:48
  know,
• 21:48
  it
• 21:48
  was
• 21:48
  so
• 21:48
  easy
• 21:49
  to
• 21:49
  draw.
• 21:49
  And
• 21:49
  they
• 21:50
  also
• 21:50
  created
• 21:51
  characters
• 21:51
  for
• 21:52
  the
• 21:52
  series,
• 21:52
  so
• 21:52
  they
• 21:52
  just
• 21:53
  had
• 21:53
  an
• 21:53
  infinite
• 21:53
  number
• 21:54
  of
• 21:54
  characters
• 21:54
  to
• 21:54
  work
• 21:54
  with.
• 21:55
  Superman,
• 21:55
  admittedly
• 21:56
  has,
• 21:56
  you
• 21:57
  know,
• 21:57
  some
• 21:57
  great
• 21:57
  villains,
• 21:58
  obviously,
• 21:58
  like
• 21:58
  Luther
• 21:59
  Brainiac,
• 21:59
  Metallo
• 22:00
  Mixes
• 22:01
  Spitalic.
• 22:02
  But
• 22:02
  for
• 22:02
  the
• 22:03
  most
• 22:03
  part,
• 22:03
  he
• 22:03
  has
• 22:03
  a.
• 22:04
  And
• 22:04
  I'll
• 22:04
  tell
• 22:05
  you,
• 22:05
  I'll
• 22:05
  get
• 22:05
  to
• 22:05
  that
• 22:05
  episode
• 22:06
  because
• 22:06
  that
• 22:06
  is
• 22:06
  like,
• 22:07
  there
• 22:07
  is
• 22:07
  a
• 22:07
  great
• 22:07
  Mixes
• 22:08
  Piddle
• 22:08
  episode
• 22:08
  written
• 22:09
  by
• 22:09
  Paul
• 22:09
  Dini,
• 22:10
  but
• 22:10
  for
• 22:10
  the
• 22:10
  most
• 22:11
  part,
• 22:11
  his
• 22:11
  rogues
• 22:12
  gallery
• 22:12
  is
• 22:12
  a
• 22:13
  little
• 22:13
  smaller.
• 22:13
  And
• 22:14
  so
• 22:14
  it's
• 22:14
  harder
• 22:14
  to,
• 22:15
  in
• 22:15
  some
• 22:15
  ways
• 22:16
  to
• 22:16
  come
• 22:17
  up
• 22:17
  with
• 22:17
  fresh
• 22:17
  Ideas
• 22:18
  and
• 22:18
  characters
• 22:19
  that
• 22:19
  make
• 22:20
  for
• 22:20
  interesting
• 22:21
  counterparts
• 22:21
  to
• 22:21
  Superman.
• 22:22
  But
• 22:22
  I
• 22:22
  do
• 22:22
  think
• 22:22
  they
• 22:23
  do
• 22:23
  a
• 22:23
  really
• 22:23
  good
• 22:23
  job
• 22:23
  here
• 22:23
  and
• 22:24
  they
• 22:24
  have
• 22:24
  villains
• 22:25
  with
• 22:25
  different
• 22:25
  motivations
• 22:26
  and
• 22:26
  different
• 22:27
  backstories
• 22:27
  that
• 22:28
  make
• 22:29
  for
• 22:29
  some
• 22:29
  great
• 22:29
  storylines.
• 22:30
  So,
• 22:31
  yeah,
• 22:31
  there's
• 22:31
  all
• 22:31
  of
• 22:31
  that.
• 22:32
  And
• 22:32
  like
• 22:32
  you
• 22:32
  said,
• 22:33
  too,
• 22:33
  this
• 22:33
  is
• 22:34
  one
• 22:34
  of
• 22:34
  my
• 22:34
  favorite
• 22:35
  depictions
• 22:35
  of
• 22:35
  Lois
• 22:36
  Lane.
• 22:36
  The
• 22:37
  voice
• 22:37
  actor
• 22:38
  is
• 22:38
  fantastic,
• 22:39
  and
• 22:39
  I
• 22:39
  love
• 22:40
  how
• 22:40
  they
• 22:40
  give
• 22:40
  her
• 22:40
  just
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  personality
• 22:42
  that
• 22:42
  makes
• 22:42
  Lois
• 22:42
  such
• 22:43
  an
• 22:43
  iconic
• 22:43
  character
• 22:44
  in
• 22:44
  all
• 22:44
  of
• 22:44
  fiction.
• 22:45
  She's
• 22:46
  not
• 22:46
  the.
• 22:46
  Even
• 22:46
  though
• 22:47
  you
• 22:47
  see
• 22:47
  that
• 22:47
  image
• 22:47
  of,
• 22:48
  you
• 22:48
  know,
• 22:48
  Superman
• 22:48
  rescuing
• 22:49
  her,
• 22:49
  she
• 22:49
  does
• 22:49
  that
• 22:49
  a
• 22:50
  lot.
• 22:50
  But
• 22:50
  nonetheless,
• 22:51
  she's
• 22:51
  not
• 22:51
  a
• 22:51
  damsel
• 22:52
  in
• 22:52
  distress.
• 22:52
  She's
• 22:53
  very
• 22:53
  fierce,
• 22:54
  independent.
• 22:54
  She
• 22:55
  is,
• 22:55
  you
• 22:55
  know,
• 22:55
  the
• 22:56
  journalist
• 22:56
  that
• 22:57
  Clark
• 22:58
  is
• 22:58
  enamored
• 22:58
  with
• 22:59
  and
• 22:59
  Superman
• 22:59
  is
• 22:59
  enamored
• 23:00
  with.
• 23:00
  And,
• 23:00
  you
• 23:01
  know,
• 23:01
  she.
• 23:01
  A
• 23:01
  lot
• 23:02
  of
• 23:02
  storylines
• 23:02
  revolve
• 23:03
  around
• 23:03
  her
• 23:04
  not
• 23:04
  as
• 23:05
  a
• 23:05
  plot
• 23:05
  device,
• 23:05
  but
• 23:06
  as
• 23:06
  central
• 23:06
  to
• 23:06
  the
• 23:06
  story.
• 23:07
  And
• 23:07
  I
• 23:08
  just
• 23:08
  love,
• 23:08
  you
• 23:08
  know,
• 23:08
  the
• 23:09
  depiction
• 23:09
  here
• 23:09
  that,
• 23:10
  you
• 23:10
  know,
• 23:10
  it
• 23:11
  very
• 23:11
  much
• 23:11
  draws
• 23:12
  on
• 23:12
  a
• 23:12
  lot
• 23:12
  of
• 23:12
  inspiration,
• 23:13
  I
• 23:13
  think,
• 23:13
  from
• 23:13
  Margot
• 23:14
  Kidder's
• 23:14
  performance
• 23:14
  in
• 23:15
  the
• 23:15
  Christopher
• 23:16
  Reeve
• 23:16
  films,
• 23:17
  but
• 23:17
  it
• 23:17
  also
• 23:17
  really,
• 23:18
  Dana
• 23:18
  Delany
• 23:18
  really
• 23:19
  infuses
• 23:19
  her
• 23:20
  with
• 23:20
  her
• 23:20
  own
• 23:20
  identity
• 23:21
  here
• 23:21
  as
• 23:21
  well.
• 23:21
  And
• 23:22
  I
• 23:22
  just
• 23:22
  love
• 23:22
  the
• 23:23
  seamless
• 23:23
  interaction
• 23:24
  between
• 23:24
  these
• 23:24
  characters.
• 23:25
  Jimmy
• 23:26
  Olsen
• 23:26
  as
• 23:26
  well,
• 23:26
  It's
• 23:27
  a
• 23:27
  great
• 23:27
  portrayal
• 23:28
  of
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  whole
• 23:29
  Daily
• 23:29
  Planet
• 23:29
  staff.
• 23:31
  You
• 23:31
  just
• 23:31
  can't
• 23:31
  get
• 23:32
  him
• 23:32
  better.
• 23:33
  And
• 23:33
  seeing
• 23:33
  all
• 23:33
  the
• 23:34
  trailers
• 23:34
  for
• 23:35
  the
• 23:35
  James
• 23:35
  Gunn
• 23:35
  movie,
• 23:36
  I
• 23:36
  just
• 23:36
  see
• 23:36
  so
• 23:37
  much
• 23:37
  of
• 23:37
  this
• 23:38
  cast
• 23:38
  brought
• 23:39
  to
• 23:39
  life
• 23:39
  in
• 23:39
  that,
• 23:40
  and
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  cannot
• 23:40
  be
• 23:41
  more
• 23:41
  excited
• 23:41
  for
• 23:41
  those
• 23:41
  things.
• 23:42
  So,
• 23:43
  yeah,
• 23:43
  all
• 23:43
  of
• 23:43
  those
• 23:43
  themes
• 23:44
  really
• 23:44
  play
• 23:45
  a
• 23:45
  central
• 23:45
  part.
• 23:46
  There
• 23:46
  are,
• 23:47
  you
• 23:47
  know,
• 23:47
  darker
• 23:48
  storylines,
• 23:49
  more
• 23:49
  light
• 23:49
  hearted
• 23:49
  stuff.
• 23:51
  And
• 23:51
  like
• 23:52
  Batman,
• 23:52
  the
• 23:52
  Animated
• 23:53
  Series,
• 23:53
  overall,
• 23:54
  it's
• 23:54
  more
• 23:54
  episodic,
• 23:55
  but
• 23:55
  there
• 23:55
  are
• 23:55
  still
• 23:56
  kind
• 23:56
  of
• 23:56
  overarching
• 23:57
  narratives
• 23:57
  that
• 23:58
  have
• 23:58
  a
• 23:58
  lot
• 23:58
  of
• 23:58
  payoff.
• 23:59
  And
• 23:59
  like
• 23:59
  you
• 23:59
  said,
• 23:59
  in
• 24:00
  particular,
• 24:01
  the
• 24:01
  kind
• 24:01
  of
• 24:01
  cliffhanger
• 24:02
  ending
• 24:02
  of
• 24:02
  the
• 24:03
  series.
• 24:03
  Originally,
• 24:04
  that
• 24:04
  was
• 24:04
  not
• 24:04
  the
• 24:04
  intention.
• 24:05
  They
• 24:05
  were
• 24:05
  going
• 24:05
  to
• 24:06
  do
• 24:06
  another
• 24:06
  full
• 24:07
  season,
• 24:07
  but
• 24:07
  they
• 24:07
  got
• 24:07
  cut
• 24:08
  short
• 24:09
  and.
• 24:09
  But
• 24:10
  because
• 24:10
  the
• 24:10
  DC
• 24:11
  Animated
• 24:11
  universe
• 24:12
  went
• 24:12
  on
• 24:12
  like
• 24:12
  you
• 24:12
  said,
• 24:13
  they
• 24:13
  were
• 24:13
  able
• 24:13
  to
• 24:14
  resolve
• 24:14
  that
• 24:15
  storyline
• 24:15
  in
• 24:15
  Justice
• 24:16
  League
• 24:16
  years
• 24:16
  later
• 24:17
  in
• 24:17
  a
• 24:17
  really
• 24:17
  effective
• 24:18
  way
• 24:19
  and,
• 24:19
  you
• 24:19
  know,
• 24:19
  still
• 24:19
  build
• 24:20
  on
• 24:20
  the
• 24:20
  character
• 24:21
  of
• 24:21
  Superman,
• 24:22
  the
• 24:22
  repercussions
• 24:23
  of
• 24:23
  the
• 24:23
  dark
• 24:23
  side
• 24:23
  storyline.
• 24:25
  So
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  really
• 24:25
  like
• 24:25
  how
• 24:26
  they
• 24:26
  do
• 24:26
  all
• 24:27
  of
• 24:27
  that.
• 24:27
  The
• 24:28
  Livewire
• 24:28
  episode
• 24:29
  made
• 24:29
  me
• 24:29
  remember
• 24:29
  too
• 24:30
  that
• 24:30
  it's
• 24:30
  not
• 24:30
  a
• 24:31
  huge
• 24:31
  focus
• 24:31
  of
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  series,
• 24:32
  but
• 24:32
  I
• 24:32
  do
• 24:32
  a
• 24:32
  little
• 24:32
  bit
• 24:32
  of
• 24:32
  focusing
• 24:33
  on
• 24:33
  how
• 24:34
  media
• 24:34
  affects
• 24:34
  people
• 24:35
  because
• 24:35
  she's
• 24:35
  a
• 24:35
  kind
• 24:35
  of
• 24:35
  a
• 24:36
  shock
• 24:36
  jock
• 24:37
  dj,
• 24:38
  very
• 24:38
  opinionated.
• 24:39
  That's
• 24:39
  become
• 24:40
  far
• 24:40
  more
• 24:40
  popular
• 24:41
  in
• 24:41
  a
• 24:41
  different
• 24:41
  way
• 24:41
  through,
• 24:42
  you
• 24:42
  know,
• 24:42
  more
• 24:43
  podcasting
• 24:44
  and
• 24:45
  24hour
• 24:45
  news
• 24:46
  stations
• 24:46
  of
• 24:47
  all
• 24:47
  different
• 24:47
  stripes
• 24:48
  of
• 24:48
  the
• 24:48
  political
• 24:49
  spectrum.
• 24:50
  And.
• 24:50
  And
• 24:51
  how,
• 24:52
  like,
• 24:52
  you
• 24:52
  have
• 24:53
  a
• 24:53
  voice
• 24:53
  and
• 24:53
  how
• 24:53
  you
• 24:54
  choose
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  use
• 24:54
  that
• 24:54
  voice.
• 24:55
  She
• 24:55
  uses
• 24:55
  it
• 24:56
  to
• 24:56
  break
• 24:56
  down
• 24:56
  like
• 24:57
  the
• 24:57
  greatest
• 24:57
  guy
• 24:57
  who
• 24:58
  ever
• 24:58
  lived
• 24:59
  because
• 24:59
  of
• 24:59
  stuff
• 25:00
  like
• 25:00
  jealousy
• 25:00
  of
• 25:01
  stuff
• 25:01
  like,
• 25:01
  well,
• 25:02
  what
• 25:02
  about,
• 25:02
  if
• 25:03
  I
• 25:03
  had
• 25:03
  that
• 25:03
  power?
• 25:03
  What
• 25:03
  would
• 25:04
  I
• 25:04
  do
• 25:04
  with
• 25:04
  it?
• 25:04
  And
• 25:05
  not
• 25:05
  everyone's
• 25:05
  going
• 25:05
  to
• 25:06
  be
• 25:06
  Clark
• 25:06
  Kent.
• 25:07
  And
• 25:07
  that's
• 25:07
  one
• 25:07
  thing
• 25:07
  you
• 25:08
  learn
• 25:08
  along
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  way
• 25:08
  in
• 25:08
  the
• 25:09
  series
• 25:09
  is
• 25:09
  that
• 25:09
  some
• 25:10
  people,
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  many
• 25:11
  respects,
• 25:12
  I
• 25:12
  mean,
• 25:12
  it
• 25:13
  doesn't
• 25:13
  focus
• 25:13
  on
• 25:13
  responsibility
• 25:14
  in
• 25:14
  the
• 25:14
  same
• 25:14
  way
• 25:14
  that
• 25:14
  Spider
• 25:15
  man
• 25:15
  does,
• 25:16
  but
• 25:16
  there's
• 25:17
  a
• 25:17
  bit
• 25:17
  of,
• 25:17
  like,
• 25:17
  with
• 25:17
  great
• 25:18
  power,
• 25:18
  there
• 25:18
  must
• 25:18
  become
• 25:18
  great
• 25:19
  responsibility
• 25:19
  because
• 25:19
  not
• 25:20
  everyone's
• 25:20
  going
• 25:20
  to
• 25:20
  turn
• 25:20
  out
• 25:21
  like
• 25:21
  Superman
• 25:22
  just
• 25:22
  because
• 25:22
  you've
• 25:23
  been
• 25:23
  gifted
• 25:23
  with
• 25:23
  these
• 25:23
  great
• 25:24
  abilities.
• 25:25
  You
• 25:25
  have
• 25:25
  your
• 25:25
  metallos,
• 25:26
  you
• 25:26
  have,
• 25:27
  oh,
• 25:28
  goodness
• 25:28
  gracious,
• 25:29
  who
• 25:29
  else
• 25:29
  in
• 25:29
  the
• 25:29
  Parasite
• 25:32
  using
• 25:32
  their
• 25:33
  things
• 25:33
  for
• 25:33
  their
• 25:33
  own
• 25:34
  gain.
• 25:34
  And
• 25:35
  you
• 25:35
  have
• 25:35
  Luthor,
• 25:35
  who's
• 25:35
  like,
• 25:36
  I'd
• 25:36
  never
• 25:36
  deign
• 25:36
  to
• 25:37
  debase
• 25:37
  myself
• 25:37
  by
• 25:38
  giving
• 25:38
  myself
• 25:39
  powers
• 25:39
  in
• 25:39
  that
• 25:39
  way,
• 25:39
  But
• 25:39
  I'm
• 25:39
  going
• 25:40
  to
• 25:40
  use
• 25:40
  my
• 25:40
  money
• 25:40
  and
• 25:40
  resources
• 25:41
  to
• 25:41
  have
• 25:41
  this
• 25:42
  super
• 25:42
  cool
• 25:43
  armor
• 25:43
  or
• 25:43
  use
• 25:44
  this
• 25:44
  new
• 25:44
  technology
• 25:44
  to
• 25:45
  try
• 25:45
  to
• 25:45
  take
• 25:45
  down
• 25:45
  Superman
• 25:46
  or
• 25:46
  investigate
• 25:47
  this
• 25:47
  kryptonite
• 25:48
  thing.
• 25:49
  And
• 25:49
  how,
• 25:50
  going
• 25:50
  back
• 25:50
  to
• 25:51
  the
• 25:51
  media
• 25:51
  thing,
• 25:52
  how
• 25:52
  he
• 25:52
  is
• 25:52
  publicly
• 25:53
  perceived
• 25:53
  that
• 25:53
  this
• 25:54
  really
• 25:54
  great
• 25:54
  figure
• 25:55
  and
• 25:56
  Clark
• 25:56
  knows
• 25:57
  who
• 25:57
  he
• 25:57
  really
• 25:57
  is,
• 25:57
  Lois
• 25:58
  knows
• 25:58
  who
• 25:58
  really
• 25:58
  is.
• 25:59
  But
• 25:59
  even
• 25:59
  they
• 25:59
  are
• 25:59
  kind
• 26:00
  of
• 26:00
  not
• 26:00
  helpless.
• 26:01
  But
• 26:01
  they
• 26:01
  need
• 26:01
  proof.
• 26:02
  They
• 26:02
  can't
• 26:02
  just
• 26:02
  print
• 26:03
  Lex
• 26:03
  Luthor
• 26:03
  is
• 26:03
  a
• 26:04
  bad
• 26:04
  man.
• 26:04
  That's.
• 26:05
  That's.
• 26:05
  That's
• 26:06
  objectively
• 26:06
  true.
• 26:07
  But
• 26:07
  you
• 26:07
  need
• 26:07
  to,
• 26:08
  like,
• 26:08
  have
• 26:08
  proof
• 26:09
  to
• 26:09
  say
• 26:09
  that,
• 26:09
  because
• 26:09
  he
• 26:09
  could
• 26:10
  sue
• 26:10
  the
• 26:10
  heck
• 26:10
  out
• 26:10
  of
• 26:10
  them
• 26:11
  if
• 26:11
  they
• 26:11
  did
• 26:11
  that.
• 26:11
  They
• 26:12
  need
• 26:12
  the
• 26:12
  show
• 26:12
  and
• 26:12
  expose
• 26:13
  him
• 26:13
  for
• 26:13
  who
• 26:13
  he
• 26:13
  really
• 26:14
  is.
• 26:14
  And
• 26:14
  it's
• 26:14
  a
• 26:14
  slow
• 26:15
  process,
• 26:15
  but
• 26:15
  eventually
• 26:15
  along
• 26:16
  the
• 26:16
  way,
• 26:17
  I
• 26:17
  mean,
• 26:17
  including
• 26:17
  Injustice
• 26:18
  League,
• 26:18
  he
• 26:19
  is
• 26:19
  broken
• 26:20
  a
• 26:20
  little
• 26:20
  bit
• 26:20
  more.
• 26:21
  And,
• 26:21
  you
• 26:21
  know,
• 26:21
  one
• 26:22
  of
• 26:22
  the
• 26:22
  reasons
• 26:22
  I
• 26:22
  love
• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  this

  version

• 26:28
  You

  know,
• 26:29
  my.
• 26:29
  Two
• 26:29
  of

  depictions

  of

  Lex

  Luthor
• 26:31
  is,
• 26:32
  you
• 26:32
  know,
• 26:32
  you
• 26:32
  think
• 26:32
  about
• 26:33
  the
• 26:33
  Christopher
• 26:34
  Reeve
• 26:34
  movie,
• 26:34
  and
• 26:35
  I
• 26:35
  love
• 26:35
  Gene
• 26:35
  Hackman's
• 26:36
  performance
• 26:36
  there,
• 26:36
  and
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  love
• 26:37
  the
• 26:37
  depiction
• 26:37
  there,
• 26:38
  but
• 26:38
  he's
• 26:38
  sort
• 26:38
  of
• 26:39
  just
• 26:39
  like,
• 26:39
  you
• 26:40
  know,
• 26:40
  just
• 26:40
  an
• 26:41
  obvious
• 26:41
  villain
• 26:41
  there.
• 26:41
  It's
• 26:42
  not
• 26:42
  that
• 26:42
  hard
• 26:42
  to
• 26:42
  prove
• 26:42
  why
• 26:43
  he's
• 26:43
  the
• 26:43
  bad
• 26:43
  guy.
• 26:43
  He's
• 26:43
  just
• 26:43
  like,
• 26:44
  he's,
• 26:44
  you
• 26:44
  know,
• 26:45
  not
• 26:45
  only
• 26:45
  ruthless
• 26:46
  in
• 26:46
  the
• 26:46
  first
• 26:46
  appearance,
• 26:47
  we
• 26:47
  see
• 26:47
  him
• 26:47
  in
• 26:47
  the
• 26:48
  mov,
• 26:48
  but.
• 26:49
  But,
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  mean,
• 26:49
  he's
• 26:49
  outright
• 26:50
  just
• 26:50
  saying,
• 26:50
  oh,
• 26:51
  I'm
• 26:51
  evil.
• 26:51
  I
• 26:51
  want
• 26:51
  to,
• 26:51
  you
• 26:51
  know,
• 26:52
  I'm
• 26:52
  be
• 26:52
  a
• 26:52
  real
• 26:52
  estate
• 26:53
  mogul
• 26:53
  who
• 26:54
  wants
• 26:54
  to
• 26:54
  take
• 26:54
  over
• 26:54
  into
• 26:54
  Mossing
• 26:55
  this
• 26:55
  version
• 26:56
  of
• 26:56
  Lex
• 26:56
  is
• 26:57
  obviously
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  cold
• 26:58
  and
• 26:59
  calculating
• 26:59
  Shakespearean
• 27:00
  villain,
• 27:01
  but,
• 27:01
  you
• 27:01
  know,
• 27:02
  he
• 27:02
  sees
• 27:02
  himself
• 27:03
  as
• 27:03
  the
• 27:03
  hero.
• 27:03
  He
• 27:04
  is
• 27:04
  the.
• 27:04
  Like
• 27:05
  him.
• 27:06
  Michael
• 27:06
  Rosenbaum's
• 27:07
  portrayal,
• 27:07
  they're
• 27:08
  the
• 27:08
  tech
• 27:08
  bro
• 27:09
  supervillains
• 27:10
  here,
• 27:10
  which,
• 27:10
  I
• 27:10
  mean,
• 27:11
  I
• 27:11
  know
• 27:11
  that's
• 27:11
  hard
• 27:11
  to
• 27:11
  relate
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  in
• 27:12
  this
• 27:12
  day
• 27:12
  and
• 27:12
  age.
• 27:13
  You
• 27:13
  know,
• 27:13
  tech
• 27:14
  bro
• 27:14
  as
• 27:14
  the
• 27:14
  bad
• 27:15
  guy.
• 27:15
  Oh,
• 27:15
  how
• 27:15
  is
• 27:15
  that
• 27:16
  imaginable?
• 27:16
  But.
• 27:17
  But,
• 27:17
  you
• 27:17
  know,
• 27:18
  he
• 27:18
  sees
• 27:18
  himself
• 27:19
  as
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  savior,
• 27:20
  using
• 27:21
  his
• 27:22
  intellect
• 27:22
  to
• 27:23
  develop
• 27:23
  new
• 27:24
  technologies
• 27:24
  and
• 27:25
  better
• 27:25
  humanity
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  create.
• 27:26
  Try
• 27:26
  to
• 27:27
  create
• 27:27
  this
• 27:27
  utopian
• 27:28
  society.
• 27:28
  Obviously,
• 27:29
  he's
• 27:29
  very
• 27:29
  misguided,
• 27:30
  and
• 27:30
  we
• 27:30
  know
• 27:30
  that.
• 27:30
  And
• 27:31
  he
• 27:31
  uses
• 27:31
  corruption
• 27:32
  and,
• 27:33
  you
• 27:33
  know,
• 27:33
  dastardly
• 27:34
  techniques,
• 27:34
  and
• 27:35
  he's
• 27:35
  so
• 27:35
  sinister.
• 27:36
  But
• 27:36
  again,
• 27:36
  in
• 27:37
  his
• 27:37
  mind,
• 27:37
  he
• 27:37
  is
• 27:38
  the
• 27:38
  hero,
• 27:38
  and
• 27:39
  Superman
• 27:39
  is
• 27:40
  an
• 27:40
  interruption
• 27:41
  and
• 27:41
  an
• 27:41
  obstacle
• 27:42
  to
• 27:42
  everything.
• 27:42
  He's
• 27:43
  trying
• 27:43
  to
• 27:43
  do.
• 27:44
  Clancy
• 27:44
  Brown's
• 27:45
  performance,
• 27:45
  like.
• 27:45
  And
• 27:46
  it
• 27:46
  is
• 27:46
  so
• 27:46
  funny
• 27:47
  trying
• 27:47
  to
• 27:47
  imagine
• 27:48
  what
• 27:48
  he
• 27:48
  would
• 27:48
  sound
• 27:48
  like
• 27:48
  a
• 27:49
  Superman.
• 27:49
  I
• 27:49
  mean,
• 27:49
  he's
• 27:49
  one
• 27:50
  of
• 27:50
  my
• 27:50
  favorite
• 27:50
  actors,
• 27:50
  so
• 27:51
  I
• 27:51
  think
• 27:51
  he
• 27:51
  could
• 27:52
  do
• 27:52
  amazing
• 27:52
  things.
• 27:52
  But
• 27:53
  I3
• 27:53
  he
• 27:54
  was
• 27:54
  just
• 27:54
  born
• 27:55
  to
• 27:55
  play
• 27:55
  Lex
• 27:56
  in
• 27:56
  the
• 27:56
  series.
• 27:56
  He
• 27:57
  has
• 27:57
  the
• 27:57
  perfect
• 27:57
  voice
• 27:58
  for
• 27:58
  it,
• 27:58
  the
• 27:59
  mannerisms,
• 27:59
  and
• 28:00
  he
• 28:00
  just.
• 28:00
  It
• 28:00
  imbues
• 28:01
  the
• 28:01
  character
• 28:01
  with
• 28:02
  that
• 28:02
  sinister
• 28:02
  Persona
• 28:03
  without
• 28:04
  it
• 28:04
  ever
• 28:04
  being
• 28:04
  cartoonish.
• 28:06
  I
• 28:06
  know
• 28:06
  that's
• 28:06
  ironic,
• 28:06
  say,
• 28:07
  this
• 28:07
  being
• 28:07
  a
• 28:07
  cartoon,
• 28:08
  but
• 28:08
  he
• 28:08
  does.
• 28:08
  He
• 28:08
  brings
• 28:09
  like,
• 28:09
  a.
• 28:09
  Just
• 28:10
  this
• 28:10
  realistic
• 28:11
  Shakespearean
• 28:11
  depiction
• 28:12
  of
• 28:12
  the
• 28:12
  character
• 28:13
  that
• 28:13
  I
• 28:13
  love
• 28:13
  and,
• 28:14
  you
• 28:14
  know,
• 28:14
  makes
• 28:15
  you
• 28:15
  so
• 28:16
  immersed
• 28:16
  and
• 28:16
  you
• 28:16
  want
• 28:17
  to
• 28:17
  know.
• 28:17
  And
• 28:18
  like,
• 28:18
  you
• 28:18
  said
• 28:18
  it,
• 28:19
  because
• 28:19
  he's
• 28:19
  not,
• 28:20
  you
• 28:20
  know,
• 28:20
  immediately
• 28:21
  like,
• 28:21
  oh,
• 28:22
  he's
• 28:22
  the
• 28:22
  villain.
• 28:23
  Like,
• 28:23
  he's
• 28:23
  so
• 28:23
  easy
• 28:24
  to
• 28:24
  prove.
• 28:25
  Lois
• 28:25
  and
• 28:25
  Clark
• 28:26
  have
• 28:26
  to
• 28:26
  really
• 28:26
  work
• 28:27
  as
• 28:27
  journalists
• 28:28
  and
• 28:28
  to
• 28:28
  really,
• 28:29
  you
• 28:29
  know,
• 28:30
  pull
• 28:31
  back
• 28:31
  the
• 28:31
  curtain
• 28:31
  and
• 28:32
  expose
• 28:32
  him
• 28:32
  for
• 28:33
  who
• 28:33
  he
• 28:33
  is.
• 28:34
  Because
• 28:34
  for
• 28:34
  a
• 28:34
  lot
• 28:35
  of
• 28:35
  the
• 28:35
  time,
• 28:35
  in
• 28:35
  the
• 28:35
  public's
• 28:36
  eye,
• 28:36
  he
• 28:37
  is
• 28:37
  a
• 28:37
  hero.
• 28:37
  And
• 28:37
  he,
• 28:38
  you
• 28:38
  know,
• 28:38
  has
• 28:38
  done
• 28:38
  amazing
• 28:39
  things
• 28:39
  and
• 28:40
  believes
• 28:40
  that
• 28:40
  he
• 28:40
  has
• 28:41
  humanity's
• 28:41
  best
• 28:42
  interests
• 28:42
  at
• 28:42
  our.
• 28:43
  So
• 28:43
  I
• 28:43
  love
• 28:43
  how
• 28:44
  it
• 28:44
  explores
• 28:44
  those
• 28:44
  themes
• 28:45
  and
• 28:45
  makes
• 28:45
  him
• 28:45
  such
• 28:46
  a
• 28:46
  compelling
• 28:46
  villain
• 28:46
  throughout.
• 28:47
  Yes.
• 28:47
  Yeah,
• 28:48
  they
• 28:48
  do
• 28:48
  a
• 28:48
  tremendous
• 28:48
  job
• 28:48
  with
• 28:49
  Lex.
• 28:49
  Yeah.
• 28:50
  Yeah.
• 28:50
  Well,
• 28:50
  the
• 28:50
  other
• 28:50
  thing,
• 28:51
  too,
• 28:51
  is,
• 28:51
  like,
• 28:51
  you
• 28:51
  know,
• 28:51
  going
• 28:51
  back
• 28:52
  to
• 28:52
  Gene
• 28:52
  Hackman's
• 28:52
  is
• 28:53
  Gene
• 28:53
  Hackman's.
• 28:54
  Lex
• 28:54
  is
• 28:54
  surrounded
• 28:54
  by
• 28:54
  idiots
• 28:55
  in
• 28:55
  the
• 28:55
  movie,
• 28:56
  whereas,
• 28:56
  like,
• 28:57
  in
• 28:57
  the
• 28:57
  animated
• 28:58
  series,
• 28:58
  they
• 28:59
  created
• 28:59
  Mercy
• 28:59
  Graves
• 29:00
  for
• 29:00
  the
• 29:01
  show,
• 29:01
  and
• 29:01
  she
• 29:02
  is
• 29:02
  just
• 29:02
  as
• 29:02
  cold
• 29:03
  and
• 29:03
  sinister
• 29:03
  as
• 29:03
  him.
• 29:04
  And
• 29:04
  so
• 29:04
  I
• 29:04
  love
• 29:04
  it
• 29:04
  that,
• 29:05
  you
• 29:05
  know,
• 29:05
  he's
• 29:05
  surrounding
• 29:06
  himself
• 29:06
  with
• 29:06
  people
• 29:07
  who

  he
• 29:08
  knows
• 29:08
  are
• 29:08
  going
• 29:09
  to
• 29:09
  help
• 29:09
  advance
• 29:10
  his
• 29:10
  goals
• 29:10
  and,
• 29:11
  you
• 29:11
  know,
• 29:11
  BJ
• 29:12
  and,
• 29:12
  you
• 29:12
  know,
• 29:12
  and
• 29:12
  also.
• 29:13
  So
• 29:13
  one
• 29:13
  of
• 29:13
  my
• 29:14
  favorite.
• 29:14
  Well,
• 29:15
  I
• 29:15
  guess
• 29:15
  so
• 29:16
  was
• 29:16
  the
• 29:16
  Superman
• 29:16
  Batman
• 29:17
  movie.
• 29:17
  Like,
• 29:18
  I
• 29:18
  watched
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  on
• 29:19
  vhs,
• 29:19
  you
• 29:19
  know,
• 29:20
  Repeatedly
• 29:20
  as
• 29:20
  a
• 29:20
  kid.
• 29:21
  Did
• 29:21
  it.
• 29:22
  I
• 29:22
  can't
• 29:22
  remember
• 29:22
  if
• 29:23
  it
• 29:23
  originated
• 29:23
  as
• 29:24
  episodes
• 29:24
  from
• 29:24
  Superman
• 29:25
  or
• 29:25
  from
• 29:25
  Episodes.
• 29:26
  Okay.
• 29:26
  That's
• 29:27
  all,
• 29:27
  guys.
• 29:27
  Yeah.
• 29:27
  So
• 29:28
  compiled
• 29:28
  it
• 29:28
  together
• 29:28
  for
• 29:29
  a
• 29:29
  movie
• 29:29
  because
• 29:29
  they've
• 29:30
  got
• 29:30
  three,
• 29:30
  two.
• 29:31
  Three
• 29:31
  episodes.
• 29:31
  Enough
• 29:31
  to
• 29:32
  make
• 29:32
  a
• 29:32
  movie,
• 29:32
  so
• 29:32
  might
• 29:32
  as
• 29:33
  well.
• 29:33
  Right,
• 29:33
  right,
• 29:33
  right.
• 29:34
  Well.
• 29:34
  And
• 29:34
  I
• 29:34
  bring
• 29:35
  that
• 29:35
  up
• 29:35
  because
• 29:36
  I
• 29:36
  love
• 29:36
  the
• 29:36
  interactions
• 29:37
  between
• 29:37
  Lex
• 29:38
  and
• 29:38
  Joker
• 29:39
  in
• 29:39
  that
• 29:39
  series.
• 29:39
  Like,
• 29:40
  where,
• 29:40
  oh,
• 29:41
  it's
• 29:41
  so
• 29:41
  fantastic.
• 29:41
  I
• 29:42
  mean,
• 29:42
  you
• 29:42
  know,
• 29:43
  it's.
• 29:43
  You
• 29:43
  know,
• 29:43
  you
• 29:43
  have
• 29:43
  the
• 29:44
  voice
• 29:44
  talents
• 29:44
  of
• 29:44
  Nancy
• 29:45
  Brown
• 29:45
  and
• 29:45
  Mark
• 29:45
  Hamill
• 29:46
  working
• 29:46
  with
• 29:47
  another.
• 29:47
  It's
• 29:47
  just,
• 29:48
  you
• 29:48
  know,
• 29:48
  you
• 29:49
  know,
• 29:49
  pure
• 29:49
  cinema.
• 29:51
  Oh,
• 29:51
  it's
• 29:52
  exquisite.
• 29:53
  But
• 29:53
  also,
• 29:54
  I
• 29:54
  love
• 29:54
  how
• 29:55
  Lex
• 29:56
  is
• 29:56
  just
• 29:56
  viewing
• 29:57
  Joker
• 29:57
  as
• 29:58
  a
• 29:58
  complete,
• 29:59
  you
• 29:59
  know,
• 29:59
  incompetent
• 30:00
  clown,
• 30:01
  despite
• 30:01
  all
• 30:01
  the
• 30:02
  horrible
• 30:02
  things
• 30:02
  he's
• 30:02
  done.
• 30:03
  He,
• 30:03
  you
• 30:03
  know,
• 30:04
  he's
• 30:04
  like,
• 30:04
  what
• 30:04
  makes
• 30:04
  you
• 30:05
  think
• 30:05
  you
• 30:05
  can
• 30:05
  kill
• 30:05
  Superman
• 30:06
  if
• 30:06
  you
• 30:06
  can't
• 30:06
  even
• 30:06
  catch
• 30:07
  a
• 30:07
  man
• 30:08
  in
• 30:08
  a
• 30:08
  Halloween
• 30:08
  costume?
• 30:09
  You
• 30:09
  know,
• 30:09
  like.
• 30:10
  And
• 30:10
  I,
• 30:11
  you
• 30:11
  know,
• 30:11
  I
• 30:11
  love
• 30:13
  their
• 30:13
  reluctant
• 30:14
  partnership
• 30:14
  in
• 30:14
  that
• 30:14
  dichotomy.
• 30:15
  So
• 30:16
  it's
• 30:16
  just.
• 30:16
  Yeah,
• 30:16
  it's
• 30:16
  one
• 30:16
  of
• 30:17
  my
• 30:17
  favorite
• 30:17
  depictions
• 30:17
  of,
• 30:18
  like,
• 30:18
  love
• 30:18
  Lex,
• 30:18
  and
• 30:19
  it's
• 30:19
  what
• 30:20
  makes
• 30:20
  the
• 30:20
  series
• 30:20
  so
• 30:20
  strong
• 30:21
  throughout.
• 30:22
  Analysis
• 30:23
  as
• 30:23
  well.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:24
  Yeah.
• 30:25
  But
• 30:25
  I
• 30:26
  love
• 30:26
  the
• 30:26
  relationship
• 30:26
  in
• 30:27
  general.
• 30:27
  Lex
• 30:27
  and
• 30:27
  Joker,
• 30:28
  because
• 30:28
  they're
• 30:28
  diametrically
• 30:29
  opposed
• 30:29
  in
• 30:29
  every
• 30:30
  way
• 30:30
  possible.
• 30:31
  Except
• 30:31
  for
• 30:31
  the
• 30:31
  fact
• 30:32
  that
• 30:32
  they
• 30:32
  both
• 30:32
  hate
• 30:32
  heroes
• 30:33
  in
• 30:33
  different
• 30:34
  ways.
• 30:34
  Exactly.
• 30:35
  It's
• 30:35
  gotten
• 30:35
  to
• 30:35
  the
• 30:36
  point
• 30:36
  where
• 30:36
  in
• 30:36
  the
• 30:37
  comics,
• 30:37
  like.
• 30:38
  Like,
• 30:38
  if
• 30:39
  Lex
• 30:39
  Luthor
• 30:39
  is
• 30:39
  ever
• 30:40
  having,
• 30:40
  like,
• 30:40
  his
• 30:40
  big
• 30:41
  get
• 30:41
  the
• 30:41
  Secret
• 30:41
  Society
• 30:42
  of
• 30:42
  Villains
• 30:42
  or
• 30:42
  the
• 30:42
  Doom,
• 30:43
  Legion
• 30:44
  of
• 30:44
  Doom
• 30:44
  or
• 30:44
  whatever
• 30:45
  together,
• 30:45
  he
• 30:45
  always
• 30:46
  invites
• 30:46
  the
• 30:46
  Joker,
• 30:47
  knowing
• 30:48
  he's
• 30:48
  a
• 30:48
  wild
• 30:48
  card.
• 30:49
  But
• 30:49
  it's
• 30:49
  better
• 30:49
  to
• 30:49
  invite
• 30:50
  the
• 30:50
  Joker
• 30:50
  on
• 30:50
  your
• 30:50
  team
• 30:51
  than
• 30:51
  to
• 30:52
  not
• 30:52
  invite
• 30:52
  the
• 30:52
  Joker
• 30:52
  and
• 30:53
  have
• 30:53
  him
• 30:53
  pissed
• 30:53
  off
• 30:53
  at
• 30:53
  you.
• 30:54
  So
• 30:54
  in
• 30:55
  trying
• 30:55
  to
• 30:55
  thwart
• 30:55
  your
• 30:56
  plans.
• 30:56
  So,
• 30:57
  yeah,
• 30:57
  it's
• 30:57
  like
• 30:57
  controlling
• 30:58
  that
• 30:58
  chaos
• 30:58
  is
• 30:59
  something
• 30:59
  he's
• 30:59
  had
• 30:59
  to
• 30:59
  learn
• 31:00
  along
• 31:00
  the
• 31:00
  way.
• 31:00
  And
• 31:00
  it
• 31:01
  backfires
• 31:01
  on
• 31:01
  him,
• 31:02
  too,
• 31:02
  later
• 31:02
  on
• 31:02
  in
• 31:02
  the
• 31:03
  Justice
• 31:03
  League
• 31:04
  where
• 31:05
  Joker
• 31:05
  goes
• 31:06
  wild
• 31:06
  again
• 31:06
  and
• 31:06
  Batman
• 31:07
  has
• 31:07
  to
• 31:07
  mess
• 31:07
  with
• 31:08
  people
• 31:08
  in
• 31:08
  his
• 31:08
  own
• 31:08
  way.
• 31:09
  And
• 31:09
  yeah,
• 31:10
  I
• 31:11
  love.
• 31:11
  It's
• 31:11
  not
• 31:12
  trying
• 31:12
  to
• 31:12
  think
• 31:13
  how
• 31:13
  many
• 31:13
  times
• 31:13
  they've
• 31:13
  actually
• 31:13
  teamed
• 31:14
  up
• 31:14
  together
• 31:14
  in
• 31:14
  the
• 31:14
  comics.
• 31:15
  It's
• 31:15
  few
• 31:16
  and
• 31:16
  far
• 31:16
  between,
• 31:16
  as
• 31:16
  I
• 31:17
  can
• 31:17
  recall.
• 31:17
  I
• 31:17
  haven't
• 31:18
  read
• 31:18
  every
• 31:18
  action
• 31:19
  comics,
• 31:19
  adventure
• 31:20
  comics,
• 31:20
  and
• 31:21
  Batman
• 31:22
  detective
• 31:22
  comics
• 31:23
  ever.
• 31:23
  Right.
• 31:23
  But
• 31:23
  I
• 31:24
  can't
• 31:24
  think
• 31:24
  it's
• 31:24
  only
• 31:24
  happened
• 31:25
  a
• 31:25
  couple
• 31:25
  of
• 31:25
  times.
• 31:25
  But
• 31:25
  like,
• 31:26
  the
• 31:26
  series
• 31:26
  proper
• 31:27
  that
• 31:27
  we're
• 31:27
  discussing,
• 31:28
  like,
• 31:29
  they
• 31:29
  do
• 31:29
  a
• 31:30
  really
• 31:30
  good
• 31:30
  job
• 31:30
  there
• 31:30
  of.
• 31:31
  It's
• 31:31
  like,
• 31:31
  why
• 31:32
  these
• 31:32
  people
• 31:32
  are
• 31:32
  competent
• 31:33
  in
• 31:33
  their
• 31:33
  own
• 31:33
  way,
• 31:34
  but
• 31:34
  also
• 31:34
  why
• 31:34
  they
• 31:35
  keep
• 31:35
  screwing
• 31:35
  themselves
• 31:35
  over
• 31:36
  too.
• 31:36
  And
• 31:37
  it's.
• 31:37
  It's
• 31:37
  a
• 31:37
  hard
• 31:38
  thing
• 31:38
  to
• 31:38
  do.
• 31:38
  It's
• 31:38
  like
• 31:39
  when
• 31:39
  they
• 31:39
  did
• 31:39
  the
• 31:39
  big
• 31:40
  villain
• 31:40
  team
• 31:40
  up
• 31:41
  in
• 31:41
  Justice
• 31:41
  League,
• 31:41
  like,
• 31:42
  with
• 31:42
  the
• 31:42
  original
• 31:43
  Legion
• 31:43
  of
• 31:43
  Doom.
• 31:44
  It
• 31:44
  could
• 31:44
  have
• 31:44
  been
• 31:44
  so
• 31:45
  campy.
• 31:45
  But,
• 31:45
  like,
• 31:45
  that's
• 31:46
  some
• 31:46
  of
• 31:46
  my
• 31:46
  favorite
• 31:46
  episodes
• 31:47
  in
• 31:47
  that
• 31:47
  series.
• 31:47
  Well,
• 31:47
  we
• 31:48
  need.
• 31:48
  We
• 31:48
  need
• 31:48
  to
• 31:48
  do
• 31:48
  a
• 31:48
  Justice
• 31:49
  League
• 31:49
  and
• 31:49
  Justice
• 31:49
  League
• 31:49
  Unlimited
• 31:50
  episode
• 31:50
  at
• 31:50
  another
• 31:51
  time
• 31:51
  because
• 31:51
  there's
• 31:52
  so
• 31:52
  much
• 31:52
  to
• 31:52
  delve
• 31:52
  in
• 31:53
  there.
• 31:53
  But
• 31:54
  yeah,
• 31:54
  so
• 31:54
  obviously
• 31:55
  Lex,
• 31:56
  Lois,
• 31:56
  and
• 31:56
  Clark,

  central
• 31:58
  main

  characters
• 31:58
  and

  some
• 31:59
  of

  our

  This
• 32:09
  is
• 32:09
  a
• 32:09
  rough
• 32:09
  one
• 32:09
  because
• 32:09
  there's
• 32:10
  a
• 32:10
  lot
• 32:10
  to
• 32:10

  There

  lot.

  Yeah.

  Steel

  for
• 32:14
  mine.
• 32:15
  Okay.
• 32:15
  Yeah.
• 32:16
  This
• 32:16
  was
• 32:16
  my
• 32:16
  introduction
• 32:17
  to
• 32:17
  the
• 32:17
  character,
• 32:17
  and
• 32:18
  then
• 32:18
  later
• 32:18
  on
• 32:18
  realizing,
• 32:19
  oh,
• 32:19
  wait
• 32:19
  a
• 32:19
  second,
• 32:20
  that's
• 32:20
  Wharf.
• 32:21
  And.
• 32:22
  And
• 32:22
  he.
• 32:22
  He's.

  He's

  good
• 32:24

  And

  I

  say
• 32:25
  Wharf
• 32:25
  is
• 32:25
  a
• 32:25
  bad
• 32:25
  guy,
• 32:26
  but,
• 32:26
  like,
• 32:26
  it's
• 32:26
  a
• 32:27
  different.
• 32:27
  Different
• 32:27
  from
• 32:28
  next
• 32:28
  generation
• 32:29
  to
• 32:29
  watching
• 32:29
  him
• 32:30
  in
• 32:30
  voice
• 32:30
  acting.
• 32:31
  And,
• 32:31
  like,
• 32:32
  he's
• 32:32
  got
• 32:32
  a
• 32:33
  cool
• 32:34
  costume,
• 32:34
  armor.
• 32:36
  He's
• 32:36
  wielding
• 32:36
  the
• 32:37
  giant
• 32:37
  hammer,
• 32:38
  you
• 32:38
  know,
• 32:38
  of
• 32:38
  course,
• 32:39
  calling
• 32:39
  back
• 32:40
  to
• 32:40
  the
• 32:40
  John
• 32:40
  Henry
• 32:41
  legend
• 32:41
  of
• 32:42
  American
• 32:42
  folklore.
• 32:43
  And
• 32:44
  I
• 32:45
  loved
• 32:45
  his
• 32:45
  introductory
• 32:46
  episode.
• 32:46
  He's
• 32:46
  such
• 32:47
  a
• 32:47
  cool
• 32:47
  guy.
• 32:48
  It's
• 32:48
  like,
• 32:48
  I
• 32:48
  was
• 32:48
  like.
• 32:48
  As
• 32:49
  a
• 32:49
  kid,
• 32:49
  I
• 32:49
  was
• 32:49
  like,
• 32:49
  man,
• 32:49
  I'm
• 32:50
  watching
• 32:50
  someone
• 32:50
  cool
• 32:50
  on
• 32:51
  screen.
• 32:51
  I'm
• 32:52
  gonna
• 32:52
  keep
• 32:52
  using
• 32:52
  that
• 32:52
  word
• 32:53
  cool,
• 32:53
  because
• 32:53
  that's
• 32:53
  how
• 32:54
  I
• 32:54
  feel
• 32:54
  about
• 32:54
  him.
• 32:55
  Like,
• 32:55
  he's
• 32:55
  never
• 32:55
  been,
• 32:55
  like,
• 32:56
  the
• 32:56
  biggest
• 32:56
  character
• 32:56
  in
• 32:57
  comics
• 32:57
  ever
• 32:57
  or
• 32:58
  even
• 32:58
  in
• 32:59
  dcau,
• 33:00
  but
• 33:00
  his
• 33:00
  introduction
• 33:01
  worked
• 33:01
  perfectly
• 33:02
  for
• 33:02
  me
• 33:02
  on
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  hero
• 33:02
  side
• 33:03
  of
• 33:03
  things.
• 33:04
  Villains,
• 33:05
  I
• 33:06
  mean,
• 33:07
  direct
• 33:07
  opposite.
• 33:08
  We
• 33:08
  got
• 33:08
  Lobo
• 33:09
  and.
• 33:10
  Oh,
• 33:10
  absolutely.
• 33:12
  Chaos
• 33:12
  personified
• 33:13
  in
• 33:13
  a
• 33:13
  different
• 33:13
  way
• 33:14
  than
• 33:14
  the
• 33:14
  Joker.
• 33:15
  Like,
• 33:16
  he's
• 33:16
  trying
• 33:16
  to
• 33:16
  just
• 33:16
  prove
• 33:17
  himself.
• 33:17
  This
• 33:17
  big,
• 33:18
  boisterous
• 33:18
  guy
• 33:19
  who's
• 33:20
  like,
• 33:20
  can
• 33:20
  match
• 33:21
  Superman
• 33:21
  equally
• 33:22
  on
• 33:22
  a.
• 33:22
  In
• 33:22
  a
• 33:22
  fight.
• 33:24
  And
• 33:24
  just
• 33:24
  them
• 33:24
  interacting
• 33:25
  with
• 33:25
  one
• 33:25
  another
• 33:26
  is
• 33:26
  a
• 33:26
  lot
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  fun
• 33:27
  because
• 33:27
  he
• 33:27
  gets
• 33:28
  on
• 33:28
  Superman's
• 33:28
  nerves
• 33:29
  real
• 33:29
  easy,
• 33:30
  and
• 33:30
  it'
• 33:31
  very
• 33:31
  hard
• 33:31
  to
• 33:31
  do
• 33:31
  that.
• 33:32
  And.
• 33:32
  But
• 33:32
  Lobo
• 33:33
  can
• 33:33
  bring
• 33:33
  that
• 33:33
  out
• 33:34
  of
• 33:34
  him.
• 33:34
  So
• 33:34
  it's
• 33:34
  nice
• 33:34
  to
• 33:34
  see
• 33:35
  a
• 33:35
  Superman
• 33:35
  who
• 33:35
  can't
• 33:35
  compose
• 33:36
  himself
• 33:36
  and
• 33:36
  has
• 33:37
  to
• 33:37
  learn
• 33:37
  how
• 33:37
  to
• 33:37
  deal
• 33:38
  with
• 33:38
  this
• 33:38
  idiot
• 33:39
  who's
• 33:39
  also
• 33:39
  a
• 33:39
  genius
• 33:40
  and
• 33:41

  at

  the
• 33:42
  same
• 33:42
  time,
• 33:42
  and
• 33:43
  how
• 33:43
  they
• 33:43
  can
• 33:43
  get
• 33:43
  out
• 33:43
  of
• 33:43
  situations

  Well,

• 34:23
  yeah,
• 34:24
  both
• 34:24
  great
• 34:24
  picks
• 34:24
  and
• 34:25
  I
• 34:25
  would
• 34:25
  say
• 34:25
  if
• 34:25
  you
• 34:25
  love
• 34:25
  Steel,
• 34:26
  watch
• 34:26
  Superman
• 34:27
  and
• 34:27
  Lois
• 34:28
  because
• 34:28
  they
• 34:28
  gave
• 34:29
  give
• 34:29
  a
• 34:29
  great
• 34:29
  depiction
• 34:30
  of
• 34:30
  him.
• 34:30
  Johnny
• 34:31
  Henry
• 34:31
  Irons.
• 34:32
  It
• 34:33
  is.
• 34:33
  It's
• 34:33
  fantastic
• 34:33
  there.
• 34:34
  But
• 34:34
  yeah,
• 34:34
  so
• 34:34
  those
• 34:35
  also
• 34:35
  are
• 34:35
  two
• 34:35
  of
• 34:36
  my
• 34:36
  favorites,
• 34:36
  I
• 34:36
  would
• 34:36
  say,
• 34:37
  in
• 34:37
  addition
• 34:37
  to
• 34:37
  that.
• 34:38
  So
• 34:39
  Jimmy
• 34:39
  Olsen,
• 34:40
  obviously,
• 34:40
  I
• 34:40
  think
• 34:41
  this
• 34:41
  is
• 34:41
  one
• 34:41
  of
• 34:41
  the
• 34:41
  great
• 34:41
  depictions
• 34:42
  of
• 34:42
  him.
• 34:43
  Not
• 34:43
  just
• 34:43
  his
• 34:43
  comic
• 34:44
  relief,
• 34:44
  but
• 34:44
  it's
• 34:44
  just
• 34:45
  like
• 34:45
  the
• 34:45
  look,
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  voice,
• 34:46
  everything
• 34:47
  like
• 34:48
  he
• 34:48
  plays.
• 34:49
  So
• 34:49
  it's
• 34:49
  such
• 34:50
  an
• 34:50
  integral
• 34:50
  part
• 34:50
  of
• 34:51
  the
• 34:51
  Daily
• 34:51
  Planet
• 34:51
  crew
• 34:52
  there.
• 34:52
  So
• 34:52
  I
• 34:53
  love
• 34:53
  seeing
• 34:53
  him
• 34:53
  anytime
• 34:54
  he's
• 34:55
  on
• 34:55
  an
• 34:55
  episode.
• 34:56
  And.
• 34:56
  And
• 34:57
  as
• 34:57
  far
• 34:57
  as
• 34:57
  other
• 34:57
  villains,
• 34:59
  I
• 34:59
  really
• 34:59
  like
• 35:00
  Parasite
• 35:00
  and
• 35:00
  how
• 35:00
  he's
• 35:01
  portrayed
• 35:01
  here.
• 35:02
  Both
• 35:02
  the
• 35:02
  like,
• 35:02
  look
• 35:03
  here
• 35:03
  and
• 35:04
  he's,
• 35:04
  I
• 35:04
  think,
• 35:04
  a
• 35:05
  little
• 35:05
  more
• 35:05
  sympathetic
• 35:06
  in
• 35:06
  a
• 35:06
  way.
• 35:06
  It's
• 35:06
  like,
• 35:07
  you
• 35:07
  know,
• 35:07
  he's
• 35:07
  not
• 35:07
  so
• 35:07
  much
• 35:07
  like
• 35:08
  bent
• 35:08
  on
• 35:08
  global
• 35:09
  destruction
• 35:09
  or
• 35:09
  anything
• 35:10
  like
• 35:10
  that.
• 35:10
  He
• 35:10
  gets
• 35:10
  kind
• 35:10
  of
• 35:10
  like
• 35:11
  screwed
• 35:11
  over
• 35:11
  in
• 35:11
  his
• 35:12
  accident
• 35:12
  and.
• 35:13
  And
• 35:13
  he
• 35:13
  makes
• 35:14
  a.
• 35:14
  He's
• 35:14
  in
• 35:14
  some
• 35:15
  really
• 35:15
  great
• 35:15
  episodes.
• 35:16
  So
• 35:16
  I
• 35:16
  like
• 35:17
  what
• 35:17
  they
• 35:17
  do
• 35:17
  with
• 35:17
  him
• 35:17
  here.
• 35:18
  And
• 35:19
  then,
• 35:19
  you
• 35:19
  know.
• 35:20
  Yeah,
• 35:20
  Livewire
• 35:21
  I
• 35:21
  really
• 35:21
  enjoyed
• 35:22
  because
• 35:22
  again,
• 35:22
  that
• 35:23
  was
• 35:23
  one
• 35:23
  I
• 35:23
  kind
• 35:23
  of
• 35:23
  forgotten
• 35:24
  about
• 35:24
  out.
• 35:25
  And
• 35:25
  I
• 35:25
  really
• 35:25
  like
• 35:25
  what
• 35:26
  they
• 35:26
  do
• 35:26
  with
• 35:26
  her
• 35:26
  here.
• 35:27
  And
• 35:28
  then.
• 35:28
  And
• 35:28
  then,
• 35:28
  of
• 35:28
  course,
• 35:29
  dark
• 35:29
  side.
• 35:29
  Just
• 35:29
  because
• 35:29
  this
• 35:30
  was
• 35:30
  our
• 35:30
  introduction
• 35:31
  to
• 35:31
  him.
• 35:31
  Through

  going

  the.

  While,
• 35:35
  you

  know,
• 35:35
  there's
• 35:35
  a
• 35:36
  lot
• 35:36
  of
• 35:36
  like
• 35:36
  episodic
• 35:37
  while
• 35:37
  I'm
• 35:37
  working
• 35:37
  the
• 35:37
  series.
• 35:38
  Darkseid
• 35:39
  was
• 35:39
  teased
• 35:39
  at
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  end
• 35:40
  of
• 35:40
  season
• 35:40
  one
• 35:41
  here.
• 35:41
  So
• 35:41
  they
• 35:42
  were
• 35:42
  bringing
• 35:42
  him
• 35:42
  in
• 35:42
  and
• 35:43
  I,
• 35:43
  you
• 35:43
  know,
• 35:43
  wag.
• 35:44
  You
• 35:44
  know,
• 35:44
  I
• 35:44
  don't
• 35:44
  think
• 35:44
  they
• 35:45
  knew
• 35:45
  that
• 35:45
  what
• 35:46
  the
• 35:46
  DC
• 35:46
  universe
• 35:47
  would
• 35:47
  evolve
• 35:47
  into,
• 35:47
  that
• 35:48
  they
• 35:48
  would
• 35:48
  get
• 35:48
  to
• 35:48
  do
• 35:48
  Justice
• 35:49
  League
• 35:49
  and
• 35:49
  just
• 35:49
  eliminate.
• 35:50
  And
• 35:50
  he
• 35:50
  would
• 35:51
  be
• 35:51
  an
• 35:51
  integral
• 35:51
  part
• 35:51
  of
• 35:52
  that.
• 35:52
  But
• 35:52
  Michael
• 35:52
  Ironside
• 35:53
  as
• 35:53
  the
• 35:54
  voice
• 35:54
  there,
• 35:54
  they
• 35:54
  could
• 35:55
  just
• 35:55
  not
• 35:55
  have
• 35:55
  cast
• 35:55
  it
• 35:55
  better.
• 35:56
  I
• 35:57
  just
• 35:57
  love
• 35:57
  the
• 35:58
  physique,
• 35:58
  the
• 35:59
  all
• 35:59
  power,
• 35:59
  you
• 36:00
  know,
• 36:00
  just
• 36:00
  how
• 36:01
  much
• 36:01
  he
• 36:01
  poses
• 36:02
  a
• 36:02
  threat
• 36:02
  to
• 36:02
  Superman.
• 36:03
  It's
• 36:04
  fantastic.
• 36:04
  So.
• 36:05
  So
• 36:05
  yeah,
• 36:05

• 36:06
  are
• 36:06
  some
• 36:06
  of

  my
• 36:06
  favorites.
• 36:08
  And
• 36:08
  yeah,
• 36:09
  yeah,
• 36:10
  Livewire.

  Livewire
• 36:12

• 36:12
  basically
• 36:12
  this
• 36:12
  shows
• 36:13

• 36:15
  becomes
• 36:15
  part
• 36:15
  of
• 36:15
  the
• 36:16
  comics.
• 36:16
  Not

  as.
• 36:17
  As
• 36:17
  popular
• 36:18
  as
• 36:18
  her,
• 36:18
  obviously.
• 36:18
  But
• 36:19
  enough
• 36:19
  popularity
• 36:20
  to
• 36:20
  become
• 36:20
  part
• 36:21
  of
• 36:21
  the.
• 36:21
  Can
• 36:22
  some
• 36:22
  of
• 36:22
  the
• 36:22
  other
• 36:22
  opposed
• 36:23
  to
• 36:23
  the
• 36:23
  other
• 36:23
  original
• 36:23
  characters
• 36:24
  that
• 36:24
  make

  Darkseid,
• 36:26
  of
• 36:26
  course.
• 36:27
  Like,
• 36:27
  I
• 36:27
  mean,
• 36:28
  you
• 36:28
  want
• 36:28
  to
• 36:28
  talk
• 36:28
  about
• 36:29
  the
• 36:29
  Big
• 36:29
  Bad.
• 36:30
  I
• 36:31
  mean,
• 36:32
  yeah,
• 36:32
  Einstein,
• 36:33
  there's
• 36:33
  a
• 36:33
  magnificent
• 36:34
  voice
• 36:34
  work
• 36:34
  here.
• 36:35
  This
• 36:35
  man
• 36:35
  is
• 36:35
  a
• 36:35
  menace.
• 36:36
  And
• 36:36
  all
• 36:36
  you
• 36:36
  have
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  do
• 36:37
  is
• 36:37
  hear
• 36:37
  him
• 36:37
  speak
• 36:38
  like.
• 36:38
  Or

  his
• 36:39
  hand
• 36:40
  behind
• 36:40
  his
• 36:40
  back.

  to
• 36:41
  the
• 36:42
  older
• 36:42
  80s
• 36:44
  portrayals.
• 36:44
  I
• 36:44
  think
• 36:44
  it
• 36:45
  was
• 36:45
  the
• 36:45
  Superpowers
• 36:45
  series.
• 36:46
  And
• 36:47
  in
• 36:47
  that
• 36:47
  dark
• 36:48
  side
• 36:48
  is
• 36:48
  like
• 36:48
  really
• 36:48
  fixated
• 36:49
  on
• 36:49
  getting
• 36:49
  Wonder
• 36:49
  Woman
• 36:50
  to
• 36:50
  love
• 36:50
  him
• 36:50
  and
• 36:51
  marry
• 36:51
  him
• 36:51
  and
• 36:52
  all
• 36:52
  this
• 36:52
  other
• 36:53
  wacky
• 36:53
  nonsense.
• 36:54
  But
• 36:54
  like
• 36:55
  seeing
• 36:55
  this
• 36:56
  one
• 36:56
  as
• 36:56
  opposed
• 36:56
  to
• 36:56
  that
• 36:57
  one
• 36:57
  as
• 36:57
  a
• 36:57
  kid,
• 36:57
  it's
• 36:58
  like,
• 36:58
  oh,
• 36:59
  yeah,
• 36:59
  yeah.
• 36:59
  I
• 37:00
  don't
• 37:00
  want
• 37:00
  to
• 37:00
  go
• 37:00
  up
• 37:00
  against
• 37:00
  that
• 37:00
  guy.
• 37:01
  Like,
• 37:01
  this
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  man
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  a
• 37:02
  throw.
• 37:03
  And
• 37:03
  they
• 37:04
  do
• 37:04
  a
• 37:04
  great
• 37:04
  work
• 37:04
  with
• 37:05
  him
• 37:05
  in
• 37:05
  this
• 37:05
  one
• 37:05
  in
• 37:06
  Justice
• 37:06
  League
• 37:06
  later
• 37:06

  But
• 37:11
  yeah,
• 37:11
  Chef's
• 37:12
  kiss
• 37:12
  for

  He's

  could
• 37:20
  really
• 37:20
  be
• 37:20
  a
• 37:20
  formidable
• 37:21
  threat
• 37:21
  to

  Superman.
• 37:22
  Show

  Darkseid

  so
• 37:26
  ruthless
• 37:27
  and

  So

  more
• 38:33

  It's
• 38:37
  just
• 38:38
  like
• 38:38
  I
• 38:38
  just.
• 38:39
  That's
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  thing
• 38:39
  about,
• 38:40
  you
• 38:40
  know,
• 38:40
  Bruce
• 38:40
  Timm's
• 38:41
  work
• 38:41
  and
• 38:41
  all
• 38:41
  his
• 38:42
  co
• 38:42
  creators
• 38:42
  here
• 38:42
  is
• 38:43
  that
• 38:43
  that
• 38:43
  they
• 38:44
  were
• 38:44
  not
• 38:44
  afraid
• 38:44
  to
• 38:45
  tell
• 38:45
  mature
• 38:46
  storylines
• 38:47
  for
• 38:47
  a
• 38:48
  primarily
• 38:48
  kids
• 38:49
  audience,
• 38:49
  but
• 38:49
  something
• 38:49
  that
• 38:50
  they
• 38:50
  knew
• 38:50
  that
• 38:50
  adults
• 38:51
  would
• 38:51
  enjoy
• 38:51
  as
• 38:52
  well.
• 38:52
  And
• 38:52
  here
• 38:52
  we
• 38:52
  are,
• 38:53
  adults,
• 38:53
  you
• 38:53
  know,
• 38:53
  years
• 38:53
  and
• 38:54
  years
• 38:54
  later
• 38:55
  still,
• 38:55
  you
• 38:55
  know,
• 38:55
  consuming
• 38:56
  these
• 38:56
  and
• 38:56
  having
• 38:56
  a
• 38:56
  different
• 38:57
  outlook
• 38:57
  on
• 38:57
  them
• 38:58
  and
• 38:58
  perhaps
• 38:58
  appreciating
• 38:59
  them
• 38:59
  even
• 38:59
  more
• 39:00
  than
• 39:00
  when
• 39:00
  we
• 39:00
  were
• 39:00
  kids.
• 39:01
  And
• 39:01
  so
• 39:01
  that's
• 39:01
  what
• 39:01
  I
• 39:01
  love
• 39:01
  about
• 39:02
  the
• 39:02
  show.
• 39:02
  And
• 39:03
  most
• 39:03
  definitely.
• 39:04
  Yeah.
• 39:04
  And
• 39:05
  with
• 39:05
  that.
• 39:05
  So
• 39:06
  favorite
• 39:06
  episodes.
• 39:08
  So,
• 39:08
  you
• 39:08
  know,
• 39:08
  there's
• 39:09
  a
• 39:09
  lot
• 39:09
  here
• 39:10
  I
• 39:10
  want
• 39:10
  to
• 39:10
  point
• 39:10
  out.
• 39:10
  I
• 39:11
  think
• 39:11
  this
• 39:11
  is
• 39:11
  one
• 39:11
  of
• 39:11
  the
• 39:11
  best
• 39:12
  retellings
• 39:12
  of
• 39:13
  Superman's
• 39:13
  origin
• 39:14
  with
• 39:15
  the
• 39:15
  three
• 39:15
  sort
• 39:15
  of
• 39:16
  the
• 39:16
  three
• 39:16
  part
• 39:16
  pilot
• 39:17
  here,
• 39:17
  Last
• 39:17
  line
• 39:17
  of
• 39:18
  Krypton.
• 39:18
  And
• 39:19
  you
• 39:19
  know,
• 39:19
  because
• 39:20
  with
• 39:20
  Batman,
• 39:20
  the
• 39:21
  Animated
• 39:21
  Series,
• 39:21
  they
• 39:22
  didn't
• 39:22
  even
• 39:22
  throughout
• 39:23
  the
• 39:23
  show,
• 39:23
  they
• 39:23
  didn't
• 39:23
  really
• 39:24
  explore
• 39:24
  Batman's
• 39:24
  origin.
• 39:25
  They
• 39:25
  did
• 39:25
  it
• 39:25
  in
• 39:25
  the
• 39:26
  movie
• 39:26
  Batman
• 39:27
  Mask
• 39:27
  of
• 39:27
  the
• 39:27
  Phantasm,
• 39:28
  which
• 39:28
  I'm
• 39:29
  gonna
• 39:29
  still
• 39:29
  say
• 39:29
  is
• 39:30
  like
• 39:30
  one,
• 39:30
  you
• 39:30
  know,
• 39:30
  if
• 39:31
  not
• 39:31
  the
• 39:31
  best
• 39:31
  Batman
• 39:32
  movie,
• 39:33
  I
• 39:33
  probably
• 39:34
  still
• 39:34
  say
• 39:34
  the
• 39:34
  best
• 39:34
  Batman
• 39:34
  movie
• 39:35
  maybe
• 39:35
  like
• 39:35
  it's
• 39:36
  just.
• 39:36
  It's
• 39:36
  phenomenal.
• 39:37
  But
• 39:37
  they
• 39:37
  did
• 39:37
  the
• 39:37
  origin
• 39:38
  there.
• 39:38
  They
• 39:38
  never
• 39:38
  really
• 39:38
  did
• 39:39
  it
• 39:39
  in
• 39:39
  the
• 39:39
  show.
• 39:39
  This
• 39:40
  series,
• 39:40
  however,
• 39:41
  started
• 39:42
  straight
• 39:42
  off
• 39:42
  with
• 39:42
  the
• 39:43
  origin
• 39:43
  of
• 39:43
  Superman.
• 39:44
  The
• 39:44
  first
• 39:44
  episode
• 39:45
  was
• 39:45
  focused
• 39:46
  on
• 39:46
  Jor
• 39:47
  El
• 39:47
  and,
• 39:47
  you
• 39:48
  know,
• 39:48
  the
• 39:48
  destruction
• 39:48
  of
• 39:48
  Krypton.
• 39:49
  And
• 39:49
  then
• 39:50
  episode
• 39:50
  two
• 39:51
  went
• 39:51
  into
• 39:51
  Smallville.
• 39:52
  Episode
• 39:52
  three
• 39:53
  was,
• 39:53
  you
• 39:53
  know,
• 39:54
  Superman,
• 39:54
  you
• 39:54
  know,
• 39:56
  emerging
• 39:57
  in
• 39:57
  Metropolis
• 39:58
  and
• 39:58
  revealing
• 39:59
  himself
• 39:59
  to
• 39:59
  the
• 39:59
  world.
• 40:00
  So
• 40:00
  I
• 40:01
  think
• 40:01
  it's
• 40:01
  one
• 40:01
  of
• 40:01
  the
• 40:01
  best.
• 40:02
  And
• 40:02
  what
• 40:02
  I
• 40:02
  really
• 40:02
  liked
• 40:03
  what
• 40:03
  they
• 40:03
  did
• 40:03
  here
• 40:04
  was
• 40:04
  having
• 40:05
  Brainiac
• 40:06
  be
• 40:06
  central
• 40:06
  to
• 40:08
  Krypton's
• 40:08
  origins,
• 40:08
  which
• 40:09
  he
• 40:09
  was
• 40:09
  a
• 40:09
  sentient
• 40:10
  being
• 40:11
  that
• 40:11
  was
• 40:11
  used
• 40:11
  to
• 40:11
  power
• 40:12
  as
• 40:12
  like
• 40:12
  an
• 40:13
  energy
• 40:13
  power
• 40:13
  source
• 40:14
  for
• 40:14
  Krypton
• 40:15
  there.
• 40:15
  I
• 40:15
  thought
• 40:16
  that
• 40:16
  was
• 40:16
  a
• 40:16
  fascinating
• 40:16
  choice.
• 40:17
  And
• 40:17
  so
• 40:18
  making
• 40:18
  him
• 40:18
  so
• 40:19
  tied
• 40:20
  to
• 40:20
  Superman's
• 40:21
  origin
• 40:21
  as
• 40:21
  whole,
• 40:22
  I
• 40:22
  think
• 40:22
  set
• 40:22
  him
• 40:23
  up
• 40:23
  as
• 40:23
  a
• 40:24
  really
• 40:24
  great
• 40:24
  villain
• 40:25
  later
• 40:25
  on.
• 40:26
  So
• 40:26
  that's
• 40:26
  absolutely
• 40:27
  one
• 40:27
  of
• 40:27
  my
• 40:27
  favorites
• 40:27
  is
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  origin
• 40:29
  episode,
• 40:30
  the
• 40:30
  three
• 40:31
  part
• 40:31
  pilot,
• 40:32
  Last
• 40:32
  line
• 40:32
  of
• 40:33
  Krypton.
• 40:34
  Other
• 40:34
  than
• 40:34
  that,
• 40:35
  you
• 40:35
  know,
• 40:35
  this.
• 40:35
  Oh.
• 40:36
  This
• 40:36
  series
• 40:37
  did
• 40:37
  start
• 40:37
  to
• 40:38
  build
• 40:38
  the
• 40:38
  wider
• 40:38
  DC
• 40:39
  universe
• 40:39
  before
• 40:40
  Justice
• 40:40
  League
• 40:41
  was
• 40:41
  greenlit.
• 40:42
  But
• 40:43
  one
• 40:43
  episode
• 40:43
  I
• 40:43
  really
• 40:44
  enjoy
• 40:44
  is
• 40:44
  the
• 40:44
  Flash
• 40:44
  episode
• 40:46
  which
• 40:46
  where.
• 40:46
  Where
• 40:47
  they
• 40:47
  recreate
• 40:48
  the
• 40:48
  iconic
• 40:49
  race
• 40:49
  between
• 40:49
  Superman
• 40:50
  and
• 40:50
  Flash
• 40:50
  in
• 40:50
  that
• 40:51
  one.
• 40:51
  And
• 40:51
  they
• 40:51
  also
• 40:52
  team
• 40:52
  up
• 40:52
  to
• 40:52
  fight
• 40:52
  Weather
• 40:53
  Wizard.
• 40:53
  That
• 40:53
  one
• 40:54
  is
• 40:54
  a
• 40:54
  classic.
• 40:54
  I
• 40:55
  don't
• 40:55
  think
• 40:55
  I
• 40:55
  know
• 40:55
  Michael
• 40:56
  Rosenbaum
• 40:56
  didn't
• 40:56
  voice
• 40:57
  Flash
• 40:57
  in
• 40:58
  that
• 40:58
  episode.
• 40:58
  He
• 40:59
  did
• 40:59
  voice
• 40:59
  him
• 41:00
  For
• 41:00
  Justice
• 41:00
  League
• 41:00
  later
• 41:01
  on
• 41:01
  Run.
• 41:01
  And
• 41:02
  there
• 41:02
  is
• 41:02
  like
• 41:02
  a
• 41:02
  difference
• 41:03
  in
• 41:03
  the
• 41:03
  way.
• 41:03
  But
• 41:03
  you
• 41:03
  know,
• 41:04
  that
• 41:04
  was,
• 41:04
  you
• 41:04
  know,
• 41:04
  this
• 41:04
  was
• 41:04
  years
• 41:05
  before,
• 41:05
  but
• 41:06
  that
• 41:06
  is
• 41:06
  a
• 41:06
  great
• 41:06
  episode.
• 41:07
  I
• 41:07
  love
• 41:08
  the
• 41:08
  Metallo
• 41:09
  ones.
• 41:09
  I
• 41:10
  love,
• 41:10
  you
• 41:10
  know,
• 41:10
  like
• 41:11
  the
• 41:11
  livewire
• 41:12
  ones
• 41:12
  again
• 41:12
  were
• 41:12
  a
• 41:12
  lot
• 41:12
  of
• 41:12
  fun
• 41:13
  here.
• 41:13
  And
• 41:14
  yeah,
• 41:14
  I
• 41:14
  mean
• 41:14
  there's.
• 41:15
  Well,
• 41:15
  and
• 41:15
  then
• 41:16
  I
• 41:16
  think,
• 41:16
  you
• 41:16
  know,
• 41:16
  the
• 41:16
  crown
• 41:17

• 41:18

• 41:18
  Batman.
• 41:19
  Superman
• 41:19
  was
• 41:20
  eventually
• 41:20
  became
• 41:21
  the
• 41:21
  Batman
• 41:21
  Superman
• 41:22
  movie
• 41:22
  here.
• 41:22
  That
• 41:23
  again,
• 41:23
  I
• 41:23
  watched
• 41:23
  repeatedly
• 41:24
  on
• 41:24
  vhs.
• 41:25
  That
• 41:26
  one
• 41:26
  I
• 41:26
  cannot
• 41:26
  get
• 41:26
  enough
• 41:27
  of.
• 41:27
  That
• 41:27
  merged
• 41:27
  with.
• 41:28
  With
• 41:28
  the
• 41:29
  same
• 41:29
  time
• 41:29
  as
• 41:29
  New
• 41:29
  Adventures
• 41:30
  of
• 41:30
  Batman.
• 41:31
  That
• 41:31
  is
• 41:31
  absolutely
• 41:32
  one
• 41:33
  of
• 41:33
  the
• 41:33
  best
• 41:33
  team

  a
• 41:47
  team
• 41:48
  up
• 41:48
  guy.
• 41:49
  Yeah,
• 41:49
  I
• 41:49
  love
• 41:50
  solo
• 41:50
  stories
• 41:50
  too,
• 41:51
  but
• 41:51
  it's
• 41:51
  just
• 41:51
  something
• 41:51
  that
• 41:52
  gets
• 41:52
  me
• 41:52
  when
• 41:52
  I
• 41:53
  see
• 41:53
  two
• 41:54
  superheroes
• 41:55
  in
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  same
• 41:55
  story
• 41:56
  together.
• 41:57
  Even
• 41:57
  if
• 41:57
  that
• 41:57
  story
• 41:57
  is
• 41:58
  complete
• 41:58
  and
• 41:58
  other
• 41:59
  just,
• 41:59
  just
• 42:00
  worthlessness.
• 42:01
  Like
• 42:01
  I'm.
• 42:02
  I'm
• 42:02
  in
• 42:02
  it
• 42:02
  to
• 42:02
  win
• 42:03
  it.
• 42:03
  But
• 42:03
  this
• 42:03
  one
• 42:03
  is
• 42:04
  far
• 42:04
  from
• 42:04
  worthless.
• 42:05
  This
• 42:05
  is
• 42:05
  like
• 42:05
  how
• 42:06
  you
• 42:06
  do
• 42:06
  it.
• 42:07
  You
• 42:07
  have
• 42:08
  Bruce
• 42:08
  and
• 42:09
  Clark
• 42:09
  like
• 42:09
  figuring
• 42:10
  out
• 42:10
  each
• 42:10
  other's
• 42:11
  identity
• 42:12
  and
• 42:12
  through
• 42:12
  some
• 42:13
  shenanigans
• 42:13
  there,
• 42:15
  working
• 42:15
  together
• 42:16
  despite
• 42:16
  not
• 42:16
  liking
• 42:17
  each
• 42:17
  other
• 42:17
  at
• 42:17
  the
• 42:17
  very
• 42:18
  beginning.
• 42:18
  Like
• 42:18
  they
• 42:18
  have
• 42:18
  their
• 42:19
  own
• 42:19
  different
• 42:19
  method
• 42:19
  of
• 42:20
  doing
• 42:20
  things.
• 42:21
  And
• 42:22
  you've
• 42:22
  got,
• 42:22
  of
• 42:23
  course,
• 42:23
  as
• 42:23
  we
• 42:23
  mentioned
• 42:23
  earlier,
• 42:24
  Lex
• 42:24
  and,
• 42:24
  and
• 42:25
  Joker
• 42:26
  working
• 42:27
  together.
• 42:28
  And
• 42:29
  the
• 42:29
  shenanigans
• 42:30
  that
• 42:30
  come
• 42:30
  up
• 42:30
  from
• 42:30
  that.
• 42:31
  Harley
• 42:31
  and
• 42:31
  Mercy
• 42:32
  facing
• 42:32
  off
• 42:33
  against
• 42:33
  each
• 42:33
  other.
• 42:33
  Lois
• 42:33
  Lane
• 42:34
  in
• 42:34
  a
• 42:34
  little
• 42:34
  bit
• 42:34
  of
• 42:34
  a
• 42:35
  love
• 42:35
  triangle
• 42:35
  for,
• 42:36
  you
• 42:36
  know,
• 42:36
  these
• 42:36
  three
• 42:36
  episodes
• 42:39
  and
• 42:39
  then
• 42:39
  just
• 42:40
  having
• 42:40
  them
• 42:40
  confront
• 42:41
  each
• 42:41
  other
• 42:41
  and
• 42:41
  like
• 42:41
  there's
• 42:42
  no
• 42:42
  way
• 42:42
  to
• 42:42
  joke
• 42:42
  or
• 42:42
  whatever,
• 42:43
  have
• 42:43
  a.
• 42:43
  Be
• 42:43
  a
• 42:44
  serious
• 42:44
  threat
• 42:44
  to
• 42:44
  Superman.
• 42:45
  Well,
• 42:45
  guess
• 42:45
  what,
• 42:46
  evens
• 42:46
  everything
• 42:46
  up.
• 42:47
  Kryptonite.
• 42:48
  And
• 42:49
  there's
• 42:49
  a
• 42:49
  reason
• 42:49
  he
• 42:49
  went
• 42:50
  after.
• 42:50
  I
• 42:50
  think
• 42:50
  it's
• 42:50
  like
• 42:50
  that
• 42:50
  jade
• 42:51
  dragon
• 42:51
  or
• 42:51
  whatever
• 42:52
  it
• 42:52
  was
• 42:52
  in
• 42:53
  the
• 42:53
  museums
• 42:54
  because
• 42:54
  it's
• 42:54
  made
• 42:54
  out
• 42:54
  of
• 42:55
  kryptonite.
• 42:55
  And
• 42:56
  you
• 42:56
  also
• 42:56
  get
• 42:57
  the
• 42:57
  beginnings
• 42:57
  of
• 42:57
  their
• 42:58
  friendship
• 42:58
  in
• 42:59
  this
• 42:59
  one
• 42:59
  for
• 43:00
  Clark
• 43:00
  and
• 43:00
  Bruce
• 43:01
  of
• 43:01
  like
• 43:02
  him
• 43:02
  trusting
• 43:02
  him
• 43:03
  enough
• 43:03
  to
• 43:03
  have
• 43:03
  kryptonite
• 43:04
  on
• 43:04
  his
• 43:04
  person
• 43:05
  because
• 43:05
  like
• 43:05
  they.
• 43:06
  They've
• 43:06
  earned
• 43:06
  it
• 43:06
  together
• 43:07
  as
• 43:07
  being
• 43:07
  like,
• 43:07
  I
• 43:07
  see
• 43:07
  what
• 43:07
  you
• 43:08
  do.
• 43:08
  I
• 43:08
  see
• 43:08
  what
• 43:08
  you
• 43:08
  do.
• 43:09
  We've
• 43:09
  come
• 43:09
  at
• 43:09
  things
• 43:09
  differently,
• 43:10
  but
• 43:10
  we
• 43:10
  both
• 43:10
  want
• 43:10
  to
• 43:11
  save
• 43:11
  people.
• 43:11
  We
• 43:11
  both
• 43:11
  want
• 43:12
  to
• 43:12
  help
• 43:12
  people.
• 43:13
  There's
• 43:14
  also
• 43:14
  that
• 43:14
  great
• 43:15
  line.
• 43:15
  I'm
• 43:15
  pretty
• 43:15
  sure
• 43:15
  it's
• 43:16
  this
• 43:16
  one
• 43:16
  where
• 43:17
  the
• 43:17
  Joker
• 43:17
  is
• 43:17
  falling
• 43:18
  down,
• 43:19
  presumably
• 43:19
  to
• 43:19
  his
• 43:20
  death
• 43:20
  for
• 43:20
  like
• 43:20
  the
• 43:20
  fiftieth
• 43:21
  time
• 43:21
  and
• 43:22
  Harley's
• 43:22
  like
• 43:23
  pudding
• 43:23
  and
• 43:23
  Batman
• 43:24
  says
• 43:24
  nonchalant
• 43:25
  at
• 43:25
  this
• 43:25
  point
• 43:25
  he
• 43:25
  probably
• 43:26
  is.
• 43:27
  I
• 43:28
  love
• 43:28
  it.
• 43:28
  And
• 43:28
  there's
• 43:28
  even
• 43:28
  a
• 43:29
  scene
• 43:29
  there
• 43:29
  with
• 43:30
  Bruce
• 43:30
  Wayne
• 43:30
  and
• 43:31
  Lex
• 43:31
  like
• 43:31
  in
• 43:31
  an
• 43:31
  elevator,
• 43:32
  you
• 43:32
  know,
• 43:32
  like.
• 43:33
  Which
• 43:33
  was
• 43:33
  a
• 43:33
  fascinating
• 43:34
  economy
• 43:34
  to
• 43:34
  have
• 43:35
  two
• 43:35
  billionaires
• 43:36
  on
• 43:36
  opposite
• 43:36
  end
• 43:37
  of
• 43:37
  the
• 43:37
  spectrum.
• 43:37
  One
• 43:37
  evil,
• 43:38
  one
• 43:38
  good.
• 43:38
  You
• 43:38
  know,
• 43:38
  like.
• 43:39
  And
• 43:40
  you
• 43:40
  know,
• 43:41
  varying,
• 43:41
  different,
• 43:42
  very
• 43:42
  different
• 43:42
  opposing
• 43:43
  ideas.
• 43:44
  You
• 43:44
  know,
• 43:45
  have,
• 43:45
  you
• 43:46
  know,
• 43:46
  a
• 43:46
  brief
• 43:46
  exchange.
• 43:47
  I
• 43:47
  thought,
• 43:47
  you
• 43:47
  know,
• 43:47
  was
• 43:48
  fascinating.
• 43:48
  It's
• 43:48
  just
• 43:49
  the
• 43:50
  blueprint
• 43:50
  was
• 43:50
  there
• 43:51
  all
• 43:51
  along
• 43:51
  for
• 43:52
  a
• 43:52
  live
• 43:52
  action
• 43:52
  Batman
• 43:53
  Superman
• 43:53
  movie.
• 43:53
  And
• 43:54
  instead
• 43:54
  they
• 43:54
  ignored
• 43:54
  that.
• 43:55
  But
• 43:55
  you
• 43:55
  know,
• 43:55
  but
• 43:56
  now
• 43:56
  we.
• 43:56
  I
• 43:56
  have
• 43:56
  hope
• 43:57
  going
• 43:57
  forward
• 43:57
  because
• 43:57
  James
• 43:57
  Gunn
• 43:58
  is
• 43:58
  a
• 43:58
  trap.
• 43:59
  Yeah.
• 43:59
  And
• 43:59
  so
• 43:59
  honorable
• 44:00
  mentions
• 44:00
  to
• 44:00
  get
• 44:00
  the
• 44:01
  main
• 44:01
  man
• 44:01
  episode
• 44:02
  where
• 44:02
  both
• 44:03
  Lobo
• 44:04
  and
• 44:04
  Superman
• 44:04
  get
• 44:04
  taken
• 44:04
  away
• 44:06
  to
• 44:07
  this
• 44:07
  like
• 44:07
  arc
• 44:08
  essentially
• 44:08
  of
• 44:09
  like
• 44:09
  being
• 44:09
  the
• 44:09
  last
• 44:09
  of
• 44:09
  their
• 44:10
  kind.
• 44:10
  That
• 44:11
  becomes
• 44:11
  like
• 44:11
  a
• 44:11
  background
• 44:12
  thing
• 44:12
  in
• 44:12
  multiple
• 44:13
  episodes
• 44:14
  of
• 44:14
  the
• 44:14
  Superman
• 44:15
  taking
• 44:15
  those
• 44:15
  things
• 44:16
  into
• 44:16
  the
• 44:16
  Fortress
• 44:17
  of
• 44:17
  Solitude
• 44:17
  and
• 44:17
  protecting
• 44:18
  and
• 44:18
  taking
• 44:18
  care
• 44:19
  of
• 44:19
  them.
• 44:19
  That
• 44:20
  becomes
• 44:20
  a
• 44:20
  huge
• 44:21
  part
• 44:21
  of
• 44:21
  the
• 44:21
  continuity
• 44:21
  of
• 44:21
  the
• 44:22
  dcau.
• 44:22
  And
• 44:22
  that
• 44:22
  Starro
• 44:23
  is
• 44:23
  one
• 44:23
  of
• 44:23
  those
• 44:24
  things.
• 44:24
  And
• 44:25
  you
• 44:25
  know,
• 44:25
  in
• 44:25
  Batman
• 44:25
  beyond
• 44:26
  this
• 44:26
  gets
• 44:26
  picked
• 44:26
  back
• 44:27
  up
• 44:27
  on.
• 44:27
  That
• 44:27
  doesn't
• 44:28
  happen
• 44:28
  unless
• 44:28
  this
• 44:28
  episode
• 44:29
  happens
• 44:30
  as
• 44:31
  well.
• 44:32
  Of
• 44:32
  course.
• 44:32
  The.
• 44:33
  The
• 44:33
  Mitzel
• 44:34
  flick.
• 44:34
  You
• 44:34
  can
• 44:35
  say
• 44:35
  his
• 44:35
  name
• 44:35
  like
• 44:35
  50
• 44:36
  different
• 44:36
  ways
• 44:36
  and
• 44:36
  every
• 44:37
  single
• 44:37
  time
• 44:37
  you're
• 44:37
  going
• 44:37
  to
• 44:38
  be
• 44:38
  wrong.
• 44:38
  But
• 44:39
  I
• 44:39
  like
• 44:39
  the
• 44:39
  episode
• 44:40
  a
• 44:40
  lot
• 44:40
  because
• 44:40
  it
• 44:40
  shows
• 44:41
  off
• 44:41
  a
• 44:41
  side
• 44:41
  of
• 44:41
  Superman
• 44:42
  that
• 44:42
  doesn't
• 44:42
  get
• 44:42
  focused
• 44:43
  on
• 44:43
  a
• 44:43
  lot.
• 44:43
  And
• 44:43
  that
• 44:43
  he's
• 44:44
  fairly
• 44:44
  smart.
• 44:44
  He's
• 44:44
  not
• 44:45
  like
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  genius
• 44:45
  level
• 44:46
  person,
• 44:47
  but
• 44:47
  he
• 44:47
  can
• 44:47
  outwit
• 44:48
  people
• 44:48
  and
• 44:48
  he
• 44:48
  like
• 44:49
  outwitting
• 44:49
  Mr.
• 44:50
  Mitzel
• 44:50
  Fleck
• 44:51
  multiple
• 44:51
  times
• 44:51
  over
• 44:51
  in
• 44:52
  this
• 44:52
  episode
• 44:52
  to
• 44:52
  get
• 44:52
  him
• 44:52
  to
• 44:52
  say
• 44:53
  his
• 44:53
  name
• 44:53
  backwards.
• 44:54
  It's
• 44:54
  a
• 44:54
  goofy
• 44:55
  50s
• 44:55
  idea.
• 44:55
  You
• 44:56
  know,
• 44:56
  when
• 44:56
  Missile
• 44:56
  comes
• 44:56
  up
• 44:57
  on
• 44:57
  the
• 44:57
  scene.
• 44:57
  And
• 44:57
  yet
• 44:58
  they
• 44:58
  make
• 44:58
  it
• 44:58
  work
• 44:58
  here.

  and
• 45:00
  Dark
• 45:01
  Horse.
• 45:01
  I'm
• 45:01
  actually
• 45:01
  going
• 45:02
  to
• 45:02
  throw
• 45:02
  in.
• 45:03
  What
• 45:04
  is
• 45:04
  it
• 45:04
  called?
• 45:05
  I
• 45:05
  think
• 45:05
  it's
• 45:05
  the
• 45:05
  late
• 45:05
  Mr.
• 45:06
  Kent
• 45:06
  is
• 45:06
  the
• 45:06
  episode
• 45:07
  where
• 45:09
  Clark
• 45:10
  Kane
• 45:10
  is
• 45:10
  presumed
• 45:10
  to
• 45:10
  have
• 45:11
  died
• 45:12
  and
• 45:13
  he's
• 45:13
  trying
• 45:13
  to
• 45:14
  find
• 45:14
  his
• 45:14
  corrupt
• 45:15
  cop.
• 45:16
  I
• 45:16
  think
• 45:17
  because
• 45:18
  there's
• 45:18
  a
• 45:18
  guy
• 45:18
  who's
• 45:18
  about
• 45:18
  to
• 45:19
  be
• 45:19
  sentenced
• 45:19
  to
• 45:19
  death
• 45:19
  and
• 45:20
  the
• 45:20
  guy
• 45:20
  was
• 45:20
  actually
• 45:20
  behind
• 45:21
  a
• 45:21
  lot
• 45:21
  of
• 45:21
  the
• 45:21
  stuff.
• 45:22
  And
• 45:23
  through
• 45:23
  the
• 45:23
  process
• 45:23
  of
• 45:23
  pretending
• 45:24
  that
• 45:24
  Clark
• 45:24
  Ken
• 45:24
  is
• 45:24
  dead,
• 45:25
  he's
• 45:25
  able
• 45:25
  to
• 45:25
  figure
• 45:25
  out
• 45:25
  what's
• 45:26
  actually
• 45:26
  going
• 45:26
  on.
• 45:26
  Come
• 45:27
  back
• 45:27
  to.
• 45:27
  To
• 45:28
  not
• 45:28
  come
• 45:28
  back
• 45:28
  to
• 45:28
  life
• 45:28
  but
• 45:29
  like
• 45:29
  show
• 45:29
  up
• 45:29
  back
• 45:29
  on
• 45:30
  a
• 45:30
  scene
• 45:30
  again.
• 45:30
  And
• 45:31
  the
• 45:31
  guy,
• 45:31
  the
• 45:31
  corrupt
• 45:32
  cop,
• 45:33
  I'm
• 45:33
  pretty
• 45:33
  sure
• 45:33
  it's
• 45:34
  a
• 45:34
  cop.
• 45:34
  It's
• 45:35
  like
• 45:35
  the.
• 45:35
  But
• 45:35
  right
• 45:35
  before
• 45:36
  he's
• 45:36
  sentenced
• 45:36
  to
• 45:36
  the
• 45:37
  bill
• 45:37
  being
• 45:38
  electrocuted
• 45:39
  to
• 45:39
  death.
• 45:39
  Realizes
• 45:40
  that
• 45:40
  Clark
• 45:40
  Ken
• 45:40
  is
• 45:41
  Superman,
• 45:41
  but
• 45:41
  he
• 45:41
  can't
• 45:41
  do
• 45:41
  anything
• 45:42
  about
• 45:42
  it
• 45:42
  because
• 45:42
  that's
• 45:43
  when
• 45:43
  he's
• 45:43
  killed.
• 45:43
  Not
• 45:44
  on
• 45:44
  screen,
• 45:45
  but
• 45:45
  pretty
• 45:46
  much
• 45:46
  heavily
• 45:46
  implied
• 45:47
  in
• 45:47
  a
• 45:47
  children's
• 45:47
  cartoon.
• 45:48
  It's
• 45:49
  done
• 45:49
  extremely
• 45:50
  well.
• 45:50
  They
• 45:50
  did
• 45:50
  really,
• 45:51
  throughout
• 45:51
  dc,
• 45:52
  the
• 45:52
  Animated
• 45:53
  Universe,
• 45:53
  they
• 45:53
  did
• 45:54
  really
• 45:54
  clever
• 45:54
  ways
• 45:55
  of,
• 45:55
  like,
• 45:55
  like,
• 45:55
  you
• 45:56
  know,
• 45:56
  oh,
• 45:56
  that
• 45:57
  character
• 45:57
  is
• 45:57
  dead.
• 45:57
  But
• 45:58
  they
• 45:58
  couldn't
• 45:58
  explicitly
• 45:59
  show
• 45:59
  it,
• 45:59
  you
• 46:00
  know,
• 46:00
  like,
• 46:00
  there,
• 46:00
  because
• 46:01
  there
• 46:01
  was
• 46:01
  like
• 46:01
  a.
• 46:01
  You
• 46:02
  remember
• 46:02
  the
• 46:04
  arc
• 46:04
  in
• 46:04
  Justice
• 46:05
  League
• 46:05
  when
• 46:05
  they
• 46:06
  go
• 46:06
  back
• 46:06
  to
• 46:06
  World
• 46:06
  War
• 46:07
  II,
• 46:07
  and,
• 46:07
  you
• 46:08
  know,
• 46:08
  I
• 46:08
  mean,
• 46:08
  they
• 46:08
  couldn't,
• 46:08
  like,
• 46:09
  show,
• 46:09
  like,
• 46:10
  a
• 46:10
  soldier
• 46:10
  dying
• 46:11
  there,
• 46:11
  but
• 46:11
  you
• 46:12
  hear
• 46:12
  the
• 46:12
  gunshot
• 46:12
  and
• 46:13
  you
• 46:13
  go
• 46:13
  off
• 46:13
  screen.
• 46:13
  Like,
• 46:14
  they,
• 46:14
  you
• 46:14
  know,
• 46:14
  they
• 46:14
  did
• 46:15
  everything
• 46:15
  they
• 46:15
  could
• 46:15
  to,
• 46:16
  like,
• 46:16
  really
• 46:16
  scratch
• 46:16
  the.
• 46:17
  Like,
• 46:17
  you
• 46:17
  know,
• 46:18
  still
• 46:18
  meet
• 46:18
  the.
• 46:19
  You
• 46:19
  know,
• 46:20
  the
• 46:20
  guidelines
• 46:21
  for
• 46:21
  what
• 46:21
  they
• 46:21
  could
• 46:21
  and
• 46:21
  couldn't
• 46:22
  show.
• 46:22
  But
• 46:22
  it
• 46:22
  was
• 46:23
  like,
• 46:23
  oh,
• 46:23
  they.
• 46:23
  They
• 46:24
  clearly
• 46:24
  had,
• 46:25
  like,
• 46:25
  death
• 46:25
  here.
• 46:26
  But
• 46:27
  again,
• 46:27
  we're
• 46:27
  very
• 46:28
  not
• 46:28
  afraid
• 46:29
  to
• 46:29
  go
• 46:30
  for
• 46:30
  mature
• 46:30
  storytelling,
• 46:32
  even
• 46:32
  though
• 46:32
  it
• 46:32
  was
• 46:33
  technically
• 46:33
  a
• 46:33
  kid
• 46:33
  show.
• 46:34
  But.
• 46:34
  Yeah,
• 46:35
  but
• 46:35
  those
• 46:35
  ones
• 46:36
  are
• 46:36
  great.
• 46:37
  Trying
• 46:37
  to
• 46:37
  think
• 46:37
  of
• 46:37
  any
• 46:38
  others,
• 46:38
  but.
• 46:39
  But,
• 46:39
  yeah,
• 46:39
  I
• 46:40
  mean,
• 46:40
  and.
• 46:40
  And
• 46:41
  Lobo,
• 46:41
  it's
• 46:42
  funny,
• 46:42
  like,
• 46:42
  earlier
• 46:42
  I
• 46:42
  would.
• 46:43
  I
• 46:43
  have
• 46:43
  a
• 46:43
  friend
• 46:43
  from
• 46:44
  work
• 46:44
  who
• 46:44
  is
• 46:45
  not
• 46:45
  a
• 46:45
  D.C.
• 46:45
  guy
• 46:46
  at
• 46:46
  all.
• 46:46
  He's
• 46:46
  entirely
• 46:46
  Marvel.
• 46:47
  But
• 46:47
  I
• 46:48
  was
• 46:48
  trying
• 46:48
  to
• 46:48
  tell
• 46:48
  him,
• 46:48
  like,
• 46:49
  dude,
• 46:49
  I
• 46:49
  think
• 46:49
  you
• 46:49
  would
• 46:50
  really
• 46:50
  dig
• 46:50
  Lobo.
• 46:51
  And
• 46:52
  I
• 46:52
  just
• 46:52
  sent
• 46:52
  him
• 46:52
  his
• 46:52
  Wikipedia
• 46:53
  page
• 46:53
  and
• 46:53
  said,
• 46:54
  like,
• 46:54
  read
• 46:54
  this
• 46:54
  and
• 46:55
  tell
• 46:55
  me
• 46:55
  that
• 46:55
  that
• 46:55
  doesn't
• 46:56
  sound
• 46:56
  interesting.
• 46:56
  And
• 46:57
  they
• 46:57
  do
• 46:57
  a
• 46:57
  great
• 46:57
  job
• 46:58
  with
• 46:58
  him
• 46:58
  in
• 46:58
  the
• 46:58
  series.
• 46:59
  Yeah,
• 47:00
  plenty
• 47:00
  of
• 47:00
  great
• 47:00
  ones
• 47:01
  to
• 47:01
  choose
• 47:01
  from.
• 47:01
  Yeah,
• 47:02
  there
• 47:02
  is.
• 47:02
  I
• 47:02
  mean,
• 47:02
  there's
• 47:02
  a
• 47:03
  54
• 47:03
  right
• 47:04
  here.
• 47:04
  And
• 47:04
  then,
• 47:04
  you
• 47:04
  know,
• 47:05
  it's
• 47:05
  all
• 47:05
  part
• 47:05
  again,
• 47:06
  of
• 47:06
  a
• 47:06
  larger
• 47:07
  interconnected
• 47:08
  universe.
• 48:05
  But,
• 47:08
  yeah.
• 48:07
  So,
• 48:07
  Christian,
• 48:07
  thinking
• 48:08
  about,
• 48:08
  again,
• 48:09
  why,
• 48:09
  you
• 48:09
  know,
• 48:09
  we
• 48:09
  talked
• 48:09
  a
• 48:10
  lot
• 48:10
  about
• 48:11
  many
• 48:11
  times
• 48:11
  on
• 48:12
  systematic
• 48:13
  Geekology,
• 48:14
  you
• 48:14
  and
• 48:14
  I,
• 48:14
  especially
• 48:15
  about,
• 48:15
  like,
• 48:15
  why
• 48:15
  Superman
• 48:16
  is
• 48:16
  still
• 48:16
  relevant
• 48:17
  and,
• 48:17
  you
• 48:17
  know,
• 48:18
  that,
• 48:18
  like,
• 48:18
  its
• 48:19
  broader
• 48:19
  influence
• 48:20
  on
• 48:20
  pop
• 48:21
  culture,
• 48:21
  even
• 48:21
  though
• 48:21
  there
• 48:21
  are
• 48:22
  still
• 48:22
  naysayers
• 48:22
  out
• 48:23
  there,
• 48:23
  what
• 48:23
  do
• 48:23
  you
• 48:23
  think
• 48:24
  about
• 48:24
  this
• 48:24
  show
• 48:25
  makes
• 48:25
  it
• 48:26
  still
• 48:26
  relevant
• 48:26
  today?
• 48:27
  Because
• 48:27
  I
• 48:27
  think,
• 48:27
  especially
• 48:28
  now,
• 48:29
  like
• 48:29
  we
• 48:29
  said,
• 48:30
  James
• 48:30
  Gunn
• 48:31
  cites
• 48:31
  this
• 48:31
  as
• 48:31
  a
• 48:32
  major
• 48:32
  influence
• 48:33
  for
• 48:33
  a
• 48:33
  Superman
• 48:34
  movie
• 48:34
  and
• 48:34
  for
• 48:35
  the
• 48:35
  wider
• 48:35
  DC
• 48:36
  universe
• 48:36
  going
• 48:36
  forward.
• 48:37
  And
• 48:38
  like
• 48:38
  we
• 48:38
  were
• 48:39
  talking
• 48:39
  about
• 48:39
  earlier,
• 48:40
  I
• 48:40
  think
• 48:40
  at
• 48:40
  the
• 48:41
  time,
• 48:41
  during
• 48:41
  the
• 48:41
  90s,
• 48:42
  it
• 48:42
  wasn't
• 48:43
  as
• 48:43
  big
• 48:43
  a
• 48:43
  hit
• 48:43
  as
• 48:44
  Batman,
• 48:44
  the
• 48:44
  Animated
• 48:44
  Series.
• 48:45
  And
• 48:45
  Batman,
• 48:46
  the
• 48:46
  Animated
• 48:46
  Series
• 48:47
  is
• 48:47
  still,
• 48:47
  like,
• 48:47
  the
• 48:47
  crown
• 48:47
  jewel
• 48:48
  of
• 48:48
  superhero
• 48:49
  storytelling.
• 48:49
  But
• 48:49
  I
• 48:50
  feel
• 48:50
  like
• 48:51
  this
• 48:51
  show
• 48:51
  in
• 48:52
  particular
• 48:52
  has
• 48:52
  aged
• 48:53
  really
• 48:53
  well
• 48:53
  and
• 48:54
  is
• 48:54
  developing
• 48:55
  more
• 48:55
  fans
• 48:56
  as
• 48:56
  it's
• 48:56
  gone
• 48:56
  on.
• 48:57
  So
• 48:57
  what
• 48:57
  do
• 48:58
  you
• 48:58
  think
• 48:58
  makes
• 48:58
  it
• 48:59
  really
• 48:59
  stand
• 48:59
  out
• 49:00
  and
• 49:00
  remain
• 49:00
  relevant
• 49:01
  today?
• 49:01
  There's
• 49:02
  a
• 49:02
  much
• 49:02
  maligned
• 49:03
  line
• 49:04
  in
• 49:04
  the
• 49:05
  man
• 49:05
  of
• 49:05
  Steel
• 49:05
  movie.
• 49:06
  And
• 49:06
  there's
• 49:06
  a
• 49:06
  reason
• 49:06
  it's
• 49:07
  maligned
• 49:07
  because
• 49:07
  it's
• 49:07
  delivered
• 49:08
  poorly
• 49:08
  in
• 49:09
  a
• 49:09
  bad
• 49:10
  film.
• 49:10
  But
• 49:10
  that's
• 49:11
  its
• 49:11
  own
• 49:11
  separate
• 49:11
  issue,
• 49:11
  is
• 49:12
  the
• 49:12
  S
• 49:12
  stands
• 49:12
  for
• 49:12
  hope.
• 49:13
  And,
• 49:14
  and
• 49:14
  the
• 49:14
  idea
• 49:15
  being,
• 49:15
  is
• 49:16
  that
• 49:16
  Superman
• 49:16
  himself
• 49:17
  stands
• 49:18
  for
• 49:18
  hope.
• 49:18
  That's
• 49:18
  a
• 49:18
  terrible
• 49:19
  line
• 49:19
  and
• 49:19
  a
• 49:19
  terrible
• 49:19
  movie.
• 49:20
  But
• 49:20
  the
• 49:20
  idea
• 49:21
  behind
• 49:21
  it,
• 49:21
  yeah,
• 49:22
  sure,
• 49:22
  I
• 49:22
  get
• 49:22
  it,
• 49:23
  because
• 49:23
  that's
• 49:23
  who
• 49:24
  Superman
• 49:24
  is.
• 49:25
  He
• 49:25
  is
• 49:26
  hope
• 49:26
  because
• 49:26
  he's
• 49:27
  the
• 49:27
  best
• 49:27
  of
• 49:27
  us.
• 49:28
  He
• 49:28
  isn't
• 49:28
  human,
• 49:29
  but
• 49:29
  he's
• 49:29
  who
• 49:29
  we
• 49:29
  should
• 49:30
  be
• 49:30
  aspiring
• 49:31
  to
• 49:31
  be.
• 49:32
  You
• 49:32
  know,
• 49:32
  he's
• 49:33
  not
• 49:33
  a
• 49:33
  Jesus
• 49:34
  figure.
• 49:34
  You
• 49:34
  know,
• 49:35
  once
• 49:35
  again,
• 49:35
  comics
• 49:36
  being
• 49:36
  created
• 49:36
  most
• 49:37
  of
• 49:37
  the
• 49:37
  time
• 49:37
  by
• 49:38
  more
• 49:39
  Jewish
• 49:39
  creators
• 49:40
  at
• 49:40
  the
• 49:40
  time
• 49:40
  in
• 49:41
  the
• 49:41
  30s,
• 49:41
  he's
• 49:42
  more
• 49:42
  of
• 49:42
  a
• 49:42
  Moses
• 49:43
  figure
• 49:43
  figure.
• 49:44
  And
• 49:44
  Moses
• 49:45
  inspired
• 49:45
  a
• 49:45
  lot
• 49:45
  of
• 49:45
  hope
• 49:47
  in
• 49:47
  what
• 49:47
  was
• 49:47
  going
• 49:47
  on
• 49:48
  there.
• 49:49
  So
• 49:50
  that's
• 49:50
  something
• 49:50
  we
• 49:50
  need
• 49:50
  to
• 49:51
  look
• 49:51
  up
• 49:51
  to,
• 49:52
  is
• 49:52
  this
• 49:52
  person
• 49:52
  who
• 49:53
  wants
• 49:53
  us
• 49:53
  to
• 49:54
  be
• 49:54
  better
• 49:54
  than
• 49:54
  who
• 49:54
  we
• 49:55
  are.
• 49:55
  And
• 49:56
  Superman
• 49:57
  has
• 49:57
  a
• 49:57
  tremendous
• 49:58
  way
• 49:58
  of
• 49:59
  doing
• 49:59
  that
• 50:00
  because
• 50:01
  he
• 50:01
  has
• 50:01
  all
• 50:01
  that
• 50:02
  power.
• 50:02
  And
• 50:02
  what
• 50:03
  does
• 50:03
  he
• 50:03
  do
• 50:03
  with
• 50:03
  it
• 50:03
  he
• 50:03
  uses
• 50:04
  to
• 50:04
  help
• 50:04
  people.
• 50:05
  I
• 50:05
  couldn't
• 50:05
  agree
• 50:05
  more.
• 50:06
  And
• 50:06
  I,
• 50:06
  you
• 50:06
  know,
• 50:06
  and.
• 50:07
  And
• 50:07
  that's,
• 50:07
  again,
• 50:08
  what
• 50:08
  I
• 50:08
  love
• 50:08
  about
• 50:08
  this
• 50:09
  show
• 50:09
  is
• 50:09
  that,
• 50:09
  that
• 50:10
  I
• 50:10
  think
• 50:10
  it
• 50:10
  really
• 50:10
  does
• 50:11
  emphasize
• 50:12
  the
• 50:12
  Moses
• 50:13
  allegories
• 50:14
  more
• 50:14
  so
• 50:14
  than,
• 50:15
  like
• 50:15
  the
• 50:16
  Jesus
• 50:16
  Christ
• 50:17
  figure
• 50:18
  out
• 50:18
  that
• 50:18
  a
• 50:19
  lot
• 50:19
  of
• 50:19
  Superman
• 50:20
  depictions
• 50:21
  and
• 50:21
  modern
• 50:21
  stories
• 50:22
  have
• 50:22
  tried
• 50:22
  to
• 50:22
  emphasize.
• 50:23
  This
• 50:23
  really
• 50:24
  emphasizes
• 50:24
  that,
• 50:25
  yeah,
• 50:25
  he
• 50:25
  is
• 50:25
  a
• 50:26
  human
• 50:26
  with
• 50:27
  gifts
• 50:27
  here
• 50:27
  trying
• 50:28
  to
• 50:28
  inspire
• 50:29
  people
• 50:29
  to
• 50:29
  be
• 50:30
  the
• 50:30
  best
• 50:30
  they
• 50:30
  can.
• 50:31
  He's
• 50:31
  not
• 50:32
  the,
• 50:32
  you
• 50:32
  know,
• 50:33
  infallible
• 50:35
  people
• 50:36
  per
• 50:36
  person.
• 50:36
  You
• 50:37
  know,
• 50:37
  he
• 50:37
  has
• 50:37
  weaknesses,
• 50:38
  he
• 50:38
  has.
• 50:38
  He
• 50:38
  has,
• 50:39
  you
• 50:39
  know,
• 50:39
  everyday
• 50:40
  problems
• 50:40
  that
• 50:40
  he
• 50:40
  has
• 50:41
  to
• 50:41
  deal
• 50:41
  with
• 50:41
  as
• 50:41
  well,
• 50:41
  and
• 50:41
  is
• 50:42
  trying
• 50:42
  to
• 50:42
  balance
• 50:43
  his
• 50:43
  life
• 50:43
  as,
• 50:44
  you
• 50:44
  know,
• 50:44
  a
• 50:44
  reporter
• 50:45
  and,
• 50:46
  you
• 50:46
  know,
• 50:47
  his
• 50:47
  relationships
• 50:47
  and,
• 50:48
  you
• 50:48
  know,
• 50:48
  his
• 50:49
  superhero
• 50:50
  duties.
• 50:50
  But,
• 50:51
  yeah,
• 50:52
  he
• 50:52
  wants
• 50:52
  humanity
• 50:53
  to
• 50:54
  be
• 50:54
  the
• 50:54
  best
• 50:55
  it
• 50:55
  can
• 50:55
  be.
• 50:55
  And
• 50:56
  that
• 50:56
  is
• 50:56
  what
• 50:57
  really
• 50:57
  stands
• 50:57
  out
• 50:58
  about
• 50:58
  this
• 50:58
  series.
• 50:58
  It's
• 50:58
  just
• 50:58
  that
• 50:59
  it
• 50:59
  remains
• 51:00
  true
• 51:00
  throughout
• 51:01
  to
• 51:01
  the
• 51:01
  spirit
• 51:02
  and
• 51:02
  the
• 51:02
  iconic.
• 51:03
  The
• 51:04
  icon
• 51:04
  of
• 51:04
  who
• 51:05
  Superman
• 51:05
  is
• 51:05
  is
• 51:06
  at
• 51:06
  its
• 51:06
  core,
• 51:07
  it
• 51:07
  doesn't
• 51:07
  try
• 51:08
  to
• 51:08
  mess
• 51:08
  with
• 51:09
  that
• 51:09
  formula.
• 51:09
  It
• 51:09
  just
• 51:10
  brings
• 51:10
  it
• 51:11
  alive
• 51:12
  in
• 51:12
  a
• 51:12
  modern
• 51:12
  age.
• 51:13
  Modern
• 51:13
  at
• 51:13
  the
• 51:14
  time,
• 51:14
  but.
• 51:14
  But
• 51:14
  still,
• 51:15
  this
• 51:15
  fits
• 51:15
  into
• 51:15
  the
• 51:16
  modern
• 51:16
  era
• 51:16
  of
• 51:16
  Superman.
• 51:17
  And
• 51:17
  it.
• 51:17
  I
• 51:18
  think
• 51:18
  it
• 51:18
  just
• 51:18
  holds
• 51:18
  up
• 51:18
  all
• 51:19
  these
• 51:19
  years
• 51:19
  later
• 51:19
  because
• 51:19
  it,
• 51:20
  again,
• 51:20
  it.
• 51:20
  It
• 51:21
  really
• 51:22
  stays
• 51:22
  true
• 51:23
  to
• 51:23
  all
• 51:23
  of
• 51:23
  its
• 51:23
  characters,
• 51:24
  the
• 51:24
  heroes
• 51:24
  and
• 51:24
  villains
• 51:25
  alike.
• 51:25
  And
• 51:25
  it
• 51:26
  gives
• 51:26
  them
• 51:26
  distinct
• 51:27
  personalities
• 51:28
  and
• 51:28
  distinct
• 51:28
  traits
• 51:29
  and
• 51:29
  distinct
• 51:29
  motivations.
• 51:30
  And
• 51:30
  the
• 51:31
  world
• 51:31
  building
• 51:31
  is
• 51:31
  so
• 51:31
  unique
• 51:32
  and
• 51:32
  so
• 51:32
  immersive
• 51:33
  and
• 51:34
  like
• 51:34
  I
• 51:34
  said,
• 51:34
  it
• 51:34
  fits
• 51:34
  in
• 51:35
  so
• 51:35
  well
• 51:35
  with
• 51:35
  the
• 51:36
  wider
• 51:36
  DC
• 51:36
  universe.
• 51:37
  So
• 51:37
  it's
• 51:37
  just,
• 51:38
  for
• 51:38
  me,
• 51:38
  one
• 51:38
  of
• 51:39
  the
• 51:39
  best
• 51:39
  depictions
• 51:40
  of
• 51:40
  the
• 51:40
  character.
• 51:41
  And
• 51:42
  all
• 51:42
  these
• 51:42
  years
• 51:42
  later,
• 51:43
  I
• 51:43
  think
• 51:43
  I
• 51:43
  appreciate
• 51:43
  it
• 51:44
  even
• 51:44
  more
• 51:44
  now
• 51:45
  than
• 51:45
  when
• 51:45
  I
• 51:45
  did
• 51:45
  as
• 51:46
  a
• 51:46
  kid,
• 51:46
  because
• 51:46
  I
• 51:47
  was
• 51:47
  wildly
• 51:48
  entertained
• 51:48
  as
• 51:48
  a
• 51:48
  kid
• 51:48
  watching
• 51:49
  all
• 51:49
  these
• 51:49
  shows.
• 51:49
  But
• 51:50
  looking
• 51:50
  at
• 51:50
  them
• 51:50
  now,
• 51:50
  I'm
• 51:51
  like,
• 51:51
  wow,
• 51:51
  these
• 51:51
  have
• 51:52
  amazing
• 51:52
  themes
• 51:53
  in
• 51:53
  them.
• 51:53
  You
• 51:53
  know,
• 51:53
  really
• 51:54
  mature
• 51:54
  storylines,
• 51:55
  great,
• 51:56
  rich
• 51:56
  characters
• 51:57
  that,
• 51:58
  you
• 51:58
  know,
• 51:58
  are
• 51:59
  perfect
• 51:59
  for
• 52:00
  other
• 52:00
  adaptations.
• 52:01
  And
• 52:01
  so
• 52:01
  that's
• 52:01
  why
• 52:01
  I
• 52:01
  love
• 52:02
  that
• 52:02
  James
• 52:02
  Gunn
• 52:03
  is
• 52:03
  drawing
• 52:04
  on
• 52:04
  this
• 52:04
  as
• 52:04
  a
• 52:04
  major
• 52:05
  source
• 52:05
  of
• 52:05
  inspiration.
• 52:07
  I
• 52:07
  also
• 52:07
  just
• 52:07
  have
• 52:08
  a
• 52:08
  quick
• 52:08
  note
• 52:08
  here.
• 52:08
  I.
• 52:09
  So
• 52:09
  I
• 52:10
  was
• 52:10
  looking
• 52:10
  up,
• 52:10
  like,
• 52:11
  the
• 52:11
  Wikipedia
• 52:11
  pages
• 52:12
  earlier
• 52:12
  from
• 52:13
  the
• 52:13
  cast
• 52:13
  members,
• 52:13
  and
• 52:14
  this
• 52:14
  is
• 52:14
  where
• 52:14
  I
• 52:15
  don't
• 52:15
  know
• 52:15
  if
• 52:15
  I
• 52:15
  just
• 52:15
  feel
• 52:16
  old
• 52:16
  or
• 52:16
  if
• 52:16
  it's
• 52:16
  surreal
• 52:17
  or
• 52:17
  what,
• 52:17
  but,
• 52:18
  okay,
• 52:18
  so,
• 52:18
  like,
• 52:18
  when
• 52:19
  I'm
• 52:19
  a
• 52:19
  kid
• 52:19
  watching
• 52:20
  this,
• 52:20
  like,
• 52:20
  oh,
• 52:21
  Superman
• 52:21
  is
• 52:21
  this
• 52:21
  larger
• 52:22
  than
• 52:22
  life
• 52:22
  figure.
• 52:23
  He's,
• 52:23
  you
• 52:23
  know,
• 52:23
  all
• 52:23
  my
• 52:23
  girl.
• 52:23
  And
• 52:24
  then
• 52:24
  I.
• 52:24
  I
• 52:25
  saw
• 52:25
  Superman
• 52:25
  Returns
• 52:26
  when
• 52:26
  I
• 52:26
  was
• 52:26
  like.
• 52:26
  Like,
• 52:27
  let's
• 52:27
  see,
• 52:27
  I
• 52:28
  was
• 52:28
  like
• 52:28
  12
• 52:29
  then.
• 52:30
  So
• 52:30
  obviously
• 52:30
  Superman,
• 52:31
  adult,
• 52:31
  then
• 52:32
  larger
• 52:32
  than
• 52:32
  life.
• 52:33
  Then
• 52:33
  I
• 52:33
  get
• 52:33
  to
• 52:33
  like,
• 52:33
  man
• 52:34
  of
• 52:34
  Steel.
• 52:34
  Okay,
• 52:35
  I
• 52:35
  was
• 52:35
  a
• 52:35
  freshman
• 52:35
  in
• 52:36
  college,
• 52:36
  so
• 52:36
  I
• 52:37
  was
• 52:37
  closer
• 52:37
  in
• 52:37
  age
• 52:38
  to
• 52:38
  Henry
• 52:38
  Cavill
• 52:39
  then.
• 52:39
  But
• 52:39
  then
• 52:40
  now
• 52:41
  I
• 52:41
  am.
• 52:42
  David
• 52:42
  Quin.
• 52:43
  Swed,
• 52:43
  who
• 52:43
  plays
• 52:43
  Superman
• 52:44
  in
• 52:44
  the
• 52:44
  new
• 52:44
  movie,
• 52:44
  is
• 52:45
  only
• 52:45
  three
• 52:45
  months
• 52:45
  older
• 52:46
  than
• 52:46
  I
• 52:46
  am.
• 52:47
  Like,
• 52:48
  his
• 52:48
  birthday
• 52:49
  is
• 52:49
  today.
• 52:49
  And
• 52:49
  I'm
• 52:50
  like,
• 52:50
  whoa,
• 52:50
  I'm
• 52:51
  the
• 52:51
  same
• 52:51
  age
• 52:51
  as
• 52:51
  Superman.
• 52:52
  I
• 52:52
  don't
• 52:52
  know
• 52:52
  what
• 52:52
  the.
• 52:53
  Again,
• 52:53
  I
• 52:53
  don't
• 52:53
  know
• 52:53
  if
• 52:54
  I'm
• 52:54
  like,
• 52:55
  I'm
• 52:55
  old
• 52:55
  or
• 52:55
  that's
• 52:56
  real
• 52:56
  or
• 52:56
  cool
• 52:56
  or
• 52:57
  whatever,
• 52:57
  but
• 52:57
  that's
• 52:58
  just
• 52:58
  a
• 52:58
  weird
• 52:58
  feel
• 52:59
  that,
• 52:59
  like,
• 52:59
  it's
• 53:00
  for
• 53:00
  a
• 53:00
  character
• 53:00
  that
• 53:00
  has
• 53:01
  been
• 53:02
  around
• 53:02
  my
• 53:02
  own
• 53:03
  entire
• 53:03
  life
• 53:03
  and
• 53:03
  has
• 53:04
  been
• 53:04
  portrayed
• 53:04
  by
• 53:04
  multiple
• 53:05
  people.
• 53:05
  Now
• 53:05
  I'm
• 53:06
  at
• 53:06
  the
• 53:06
  age
• 53:06
  where,
• 53:06
  oh,
• 53:07
  my,
• 53:07
  I'm
• 53:07
  the
• 53:08
  same
• 53:08
  age
• 53:08
  as
• 53:08
  Superman.
• 53:09
  So
• 53:10
  it's
• 53:11
  a.
• 53:11
  It's
• 53:11
  a
• 53:11
  wild
• 53:12
  thing,
• 53:13
  tj.
• 53:14
  We've
• 53:14
  been
• 53:14
  blessed.
• 53:15
  Lex
• 53:15
  Luthor
• 53:15
  should
• 53:16
  have
• 53:16
  hair.
• 53:17
  We've
• 53:17
  been
• 53:17
  blessed
• 53:17
  to
• 53:18
  have
• 53:18
  a
• 53:18
  rare
• 53:18
  TJ
• 53:19
  appearance.
• 53:19
  He
• 53:19
  never
• 53:19
  listens
• 53:20
  to
• 53:20
  anything
• 53:20
  that
• 53:21
  we
• 53:21
  do,
• 53:22
  but
• 53:22
  here
• 53:22
  he
• 53:22
  is
• 53:23
  putting
• 53:23
  in
• 53:23
  a
• 53:23
  bad
• 53:24
  opinion
• 53:24
  on
• 53:24
  purpose.
• 53:25
  And,
• 53:25
  you
• 53:25
  know,
• 53:25
  depending
• 53:26
  on
• 53:26
  your
• 53:26
  continuity,
• 53:27
  like,
• 53:27
  starts
• 53:28
  off
• 53:28
  with
• 53:28
  hair,
• 53:28
  and
• 53:28
  then
• 53:29
  because
• 53:29
  the
• 53:29
  Superman
• 53:29
  loses
• 53:30
  it,
• 53:31
  a
• 53:32
  victim
• 53:32
  of
• 53:32
  the
• 53:33
  post
• 53:33
  crisis
• 53:34
  is
• 53:34
  that.
• 53:34
  I
• 53:34
  don't
• 53:34
  think
• 53:35
  that's
• 53:35
  no
• 53:35
  longer
• 53:35
  canon.
• 53:36
  But
• 53:36
  you
• 53:36
  know
• 53:36
  what?
• 53:37
  Some
• 53:37
  things
• 53:37
  needed
• 53:37
  to
• 53:38
  die
• 53:39
  after
• 53:40
  the
• 53:40
  crisis
• 53:40
  happened.
• 53:41
  So
• 53:41
  tj,
• 53:41
  if
• 53:42
  you
• 53:42
  want
• 53:42
  your
• 53:42
  Lex
• 53:42
  with
• 53:43
  hair,
• 53:43
  you
• 53:43
  can.
• 53:43
  You
• 53:43
  can
• 53:44
  go
• 53:44
  to
• 53:44
  those
• 53:44
  versions.
• 53:45
  They
• 53:45
  do
• 53:45
  exist,
• 53:46
  but
• 53:46
  I
• 53:46
  don't
• 53:46
  think
• 53:47
  that's
• 53:47
  going
• 53:47
  to
• 53:47
  happen.
• 53:47
  It's
• 53:48
  going
• 53:48
  forward.
• 53:49
  Funnily
• 53:50
  enough,
• 53:51
  the
• 53:51
  Ultra
• 53:51
  Humanite
• 53:52
  was
• 53:52
  one
• 53:52
  of
• 53:52
  Superman's
• 53:53
  earliest
• 53:53
  villains,
• 53:53
  too.
• 53:55
  Back
• 53:56
  in
• 53:56
  the
• 53:56
  day,
• 53:57
  he
• 53:57
  kind
• 53:57
  of
• 53:57
  served
• 53:58
  like
• 53:58
  A
• 53:58
  lethal
• 53:58
  role.
• 53:58
  And
• 53:59
  eventually
• 53:59
  those
• 54:00
  qualities
• 54:00
  got
• 54:00
  to
• 54:00
  transfer
• 54:01
  to
• 54:01
  just
• 54:01
  Lex.
• 54:02
  That's
• 54:02
  awesome.
• 54:03
  Yeah.
• 54:03
  Yeah.
• 54:04
  Like.
• 54:05
  But.
• 54:06
  But
• 54:06
  just
• 54:06
  that
• 54:07
  look
• 54:07
  right
• 54:07
  there.
• 54:07
  How
• 54:07
  can
• 54:08
  you
• 54:08
  develop
• 54:08
  a
• 54:08
  better
• 54:09
  look
• 54:09
  of
• 54:09
  Lex
• 54:10
  Luthor
• 54:10
  than.
• 54:10
  Right.
• 54:10
  It's
• 54:11
  just
• 54:11
  right.
• 54:12
  Yeah.
• 54:12
  Awesome.
• 54:13
  Well,
• 54:13
  Christian,
• 54:13
  if
• 54:14
  you
• 54:14
  had
• 54:14
  to
• 54:14
  rate
• 54:15
  this
• 54:15
  series
• 54:16
  on
• 54:16
  a
• 54:17
  1
• 54:17
  to
• 54:17
  10
• 54:17
  scale,
• 54:18
  I
• 54:18
  know
• 54:18
  this
• 54:18
  is
• 54:18
  tough,
• 54:19
  but.
• 54:19
  But.
• 54:19
  Well,
• 54:20
  if
• 54:20
  you
• 54:20
  had
• 54:20
  to
• 54:20
  pick
• 54:20
  a
• 54:20
  number,
• 54:21
  what
• 54:21
  do
• 54:21
  you
• 54:21
  think
• 54:21
  you
• 54:21
  would
• 54:21
  give
• 54:21
  it?
• 54:22
  I
• 54:22
  like
• 54:23
  it
• 54:23
  less
• 54:23
  than
• 54:23
  Batman,
• 54:24
  the
• 54:24
  Animated
• 54:24
  Series
• 54:24
  movies.
• 54:25
  Yeah,
• 54:25
  I
• 54:26
  think
• 54:26
  that
• 54:26
  one
• 54:26
  has
• 54:27
  more
• 54:27
  quality
• 54:28
  overall,
• 54:29
  but
• 54:29
  this
• 54:29
  one
• 54:29
  is
• 54:30
  still
• 54:30
  pretty
• 54:30
  solid.
• 54:31
  I'm
• 54:31
  giving
• 54:31
  this
• 54:31
  one
• 54:31
  a
• 54:31
  nine
• 54:32
  out
• 54:32
  of
• 54:32
  ten.
• 54:32
  Like,
• 54:33
  this
• 54:33
  was
• 54:33
  my
• 54:33
  introduction
• 54:34
  to
• 54:34
  a
• 54:34
  lot
• 54:34
  of
• 54:34
  DC
• 54:35
  concepts
• 54:35
  and
• 54:35
  characters,
• 54:37
  and
• 54:38
  there's
• 54:38
  some
• 54:38
  nostalgia
• 54:38
  behind
• 54:39
  that,
• 54:39
  but
• 54:39
  I
• 54:39
  think
• 54:40
  most
• 54:40
  of
• 54:40
  the
• 54:40
  episodes
• 54:41
  are
• 54:41
  tightly
• 54:41
  written.
• 54:41
  There's
• 54:42
  some
• 54:42
  stinkers,
• 54:43
  but,
• 54:43
  you
• 54:43
  know,
• 54:43
  for
• 54:44
  the
• 54:44
  most
• 54:44
  part,
• 54:44
  you're
• 54:45
  gonna
• 54:45
  have
• 54:45
  a
• 54:45
  great
• 54:45
  time
• 54:45
  with
• 54:46
  this.
• 54:46
  If
• 54:46
  you
• 54:46
  want.
• 54:46
  This
• 54:47
  is
• 54:47
  when
• 54:47
  it.
• 54:47
  Somehow.
• 54:48
  This
• 54:48
  is
• 54:48
  your
• 54:48
  introduction
• 54:49
  to
• 54:49
  Superman
• 54:49
  all
• 54:49
  these
• 54:49
  years
• 54:50
  later.
• 54:50
  Have
• 54:50
  at
• 54:51
  it.
• 54:51
  I
• 54:51
  would
• 54:51
  say
• 54:51
  I
• 54:51
  would
• 54:52
  give
• 54:52
  it
• 54:52
  the
• 54:52
  same
• 54:52
  rating,
• 54:52
  actually.
• 54:53
  I
• 54:53
  mean,
• 54:53
  Batman,
• 54:53
  the
• 54:53
  end
• 54:53
  of
• 54:54
  it
• 54:54
  series,
• 54:54
  you
• 54:54
  know,
• 54:55
  is
• 54:55
  formative
• 54:56
  for
• 54:56
  me,
• 54:56
  and
• 54:56
  it
• 54:57
  is.
• 54:57
  I
• 54:57
  mean,
• 54:57
  a
• 54:57
  10
• 54:57
  out
• 54:58
  of
• 54:58
  10.
• 54:59
  Just,
• 54:59
  you
• 54:59
  know,
• 54:59
  master
• 55:00
  storytelling
• 55:01
  overall
• 55:01
  and
• 55:02
  my
• 55:02
  favorite
• 55:02
  depiction
• 55:02
  of
• 55:02
  Batman.
• 55:03
  But
• 55:04
  Superman,
• 55:04
  the
• 55:04
  Animated
• 55:04
  Series,
• 55:05
  like
• 55:05
  I
• 55:05
  said,
• 55:05
  you
• 55:05
  know,
• 55:05
  I
• 55:06
  mean,
• 55:06
  I
• 55:06
  don't
• 55:06
  love
• 55:06
  every
• 55:07
  episode,
• 55:07
  but
• 55:07
  I.
• 55:08
  As
• 55:08
  far
• 55:08
  as
• 55:09
  a
• 55:09
  depiction
• 55:09
  of
• 55:09
  the
• 55:09
  character,
• 55:10
  as
• 55:10
  far
• 55:10
  as
• 55:11
  a
• 55:11
  great,
• 55:12
  you
• 55:12
  know,

  know,
• 55:16
  with
• 55:16
  rich
• 55:17
  characters,
• 55:17
  great
• 55:18
  animation
• 55:19
  still
• 55:19
  holds
• 55:19
  up
• 55:19
  all
• 55:20
  these
• 55:20
  years
• 55:20
  later.
• 55:20
  I
• 55:21
  agree.
• 55:21
  It's
• 55:21
  also
• 55:21
  just,
• 55:22
  you
• 55:22
  know,
• 55:22
  it.
• 55:23
  It's
• 55:23
  hard
• 55:23
  to
• 55:23
  give,
• 55:24
  like,
• 55:24
  anything
• 55:25
  a
• 55:26
  less
• 55:26
  than
• 55:26
  really
• 55:27
  high
• 55:27
  rating
• 55:28
  in
• 55:28
  this
• 55:29
  era
• 55:29
  of
• 55:29
  DC
• 55:30
  animation
• 55:30
  because
• 55:31
  they're
• 55:31
  all
• 55:31
  just
• 55:32
  fantastic.
• 55:32
  So,
• 55:33
  yeah,
• 55:33
  I
• 55:33
  would
• 55:33
  say
• 55:33
  9
• 55:34
  out
• 55:34
  of
• 55:34
  10
• 55:34
  as

  well.
• 55:35
  All
• 55:35
  right.
• 55:35
  Awesome.
• 55:36
  Excellent.
• 55:36
  Well,
• 55:37
  this
• 55:37
  was
• 55:37
  fantastic.
• 55:38
  And
• 55:39
  before
• 55:39
  we
• 55:39
  go,
• 55:40
  Christian,
• 55:40
  do
• 55:40
  you
• 55:41
  have
• 55:41
  any
• 55:41
  recommendations
• 55:42
  either
• 55:42
  related
• 55:43
  to
• 55:43
  Superman
• 55:44
  or
• 55:44
  it
• 55:44
  could
• 55:44
  be
• 55:44
  something
• 55:44
  totally
• 55:45
  different
• 55:45
  as
• 55:45
  well?
• 55:45
  I
• 55:46
  just
• 55:46
  needed
• 55:46
  something
• 55:46
  to
• 55:46
  give
• 55:47
  me
• 55:47
  a
• 55:47
  laugh,
• 55:47
  and
• 55:47
  it's
• 55:48
  not
• 55:48
  intended
• 55:48
  to
• 55:48
  be
• 55:48
  a
• 55:48
  laugh,
• 55:49
  but
• 55:51
  if
• 55:51
  you.
• 55:51
  If
• 55:52
  you
• 55:52
  didn't
• 55:52
  know
• 55:52
  The
• 55:52
  Chariots
• 55:53
  of
• 55:53
  the
• 55:53
  God,
• 55:53
  Erich
• 55:54
  Von
• 55:54
  Daniken
• 55:55
  is
• 55:55
  an
• 55:55
  ancient
• 55:56
  astronaut
• 55:56
  theory
• 55:57
  book
• 55:58
  about
• 55:58
  how
• 55:58
  back
• 55:58
  in
• 55:59
  the
• 55:59
  day,
• 55:59
  civilizations
• 56:00
  were
• 56:00
  visited
• 56:00
  by
• 56:01
  aliens,
• 56:01
  and
• 56:01
  that's
• 56:01
  how
• 56:01
  the
• 56:02
  pyramids
• 56:02
  were
• 56:02
  built
• 56:03
  and
• 56:03
  Machu
• 56:04
  Picchu
• 56:04
  and
• 56:04
  so
• 56:04
  on
• 56:04
  and
• 56:04
  so
• 56:04
  forth.
• 56:05
  And
• 56:06
  I
• 56:06
  just
• 56:06
  needed
• 56:06
  something
• 56:07
  fun
• 56:07
  to
• 56:07
  read.
• 56:07
  And,
• 56:08
  like,
• 56:08
  he's
• 56:08
  serious
• 56:08
  and
• 56:09
  everything
• 56:09
  he
• 56:09
  says,
• 56:10
  but
• 56:11
  as
• 56:11
  someone
• 56:11
  who
• 56:11
  does
• 56:12
  believe
• 56:12
  in
• 56:12
  alien
• 56:12
  life,
• 56:12
  I
• 56:13
  don't
• 56:13
  think
• 56:13
  this
• 56:13
  is
• 56:13
  how
• 56:13
  it
• 56:13
  happened.
• 56:14
  So
• 56:14
  it
• 56:14
  gave
• 56:14
  me
• 56:14
  a
• 56:14
  good
• 56:14
  chuckle.
• 56:15
  So
• 56:15
  Chariots
• 56:16
  of
• 56:16
  the
• 56:16
  Gods
• 56:16
  don't
• 56:16
  go
• 56:17
  developing
• 56:17
  any
• 56:18
  Philosophies
• 56:18
  or
• 56:19
  theologies
• 56:19
  around
• 56:19
  it,
• 56:19
  as
• 56:20
  some
• 56:20
  people
• 56:20
  unfortunately
• 56:21
  have.
• 56:21
  But
• 56:21
  if
• 56:21
  you
• 56:21
  want
• 56:21
  to
• 56:22
  just
• 56:22
  have
• 56:22
  good
• 56:22
  fun,
• 56:23
  like
• 56:23
  not
• 56:23
  take
• 56:23
  something
• 56:23
  seriously,
• 56:24
  go
• 56:24
  read
• 56:24
  that.
• 56:25
  I
• 56:25
  love
• 56:25
  it.
• 56:25
  That's.
• 56:26
  That's
• 56:26
  great.
• 56:27
  I
• 56:27
  think
• 56:27
  for
• 56:27
  me,
• 56:27
  I
• 56:28
  know
• 56:28
  we
• 56:28
  talked
• 56:29
  a
• 56:29
  lot
• 56:29
  about
• 56:29
  DC
• 56:29
  animation
• 56:30
  here.
• 56:30
  I
• 56:30
  want
• 56:30
  to
• 56:31
  recommend
• 56:31
  Static
• 56:31
  Shock.
• 56:32
  If
• 56:32
  you've
• 56:32
  never
• 56:32
  seen
• 56:32
  it,
• 56:32
  that
• 56:33
  is
• 56:33
  also
• 56:33
  one
• 56:33
  of
• 56:33
  the
• 56:33
  best.
• 56:34
  And
• 56:34
  it
• 56:34
  is
• 56:34
  a
• 56:34
  phenomenal
• 56:35
  show.
• 56:35
  And
• 56:36
  I'm
• 56:36
  really
• 56:36
  hoping
• 56:37
  they
• 56:37
  do.
• 56:37
  I
• 56:37
  mean,
• 56:37
  I'm
• 56:38
  sure
• 56:38
  they
• 56:38
  will
• 56:38
  eventually.
• 56:38
  That
• 56:39
  one
• 56:39
  is
• 56:39
  not
• 56:39
  on
• 56:39
  auto.
• 56:39
  On
• 56:39
  Blu
• 56:40
  Ray
• 56:40
  yet.
• 56:40
  They
• 56:40
  have
• 56:40
  it
• 56:40
  on
• 56:40
  DVDs,
• 56:41
  but
• 56:41
  I
• 56:42
  really
• 56:42
  want
• 56:42
  to
• 56:42
  add
• 56:42
  that
• 56:42
  to
• 56:43
  my
• 56:43
  DC
• 56:43
  Animation
• 56:44
  Blu
• 56:44
  Ray
• 56:44
  collection
• 56:45
  when
• 56:45
  that
• 56:45
  happens.
• 56:46
  But
• 56:46
  phenomenal
• 56:47
  show.
• 56:47
  Phil
• 56:48
  Lamar
• 56:49

• 56:49
  the
• 56:49
  main
• 56:50

• 56:50
  and
• 56:50
  also
• 56:51
  as
• 56:51
  Kevin
• 56:51
  Michael
• 56:51
  Richardson.
• 56:52
  And,
• 56:53
  you
• 56:53
  know,
• 56:53
  it
• 56:54
  was
• 56:54

  the
• 56:56

• 56:57
  Milestone
• 56:58
  at
• 56:58
  the
• 56:58
  time.
• 56:58
  And
• 56:59
  it's
• 56:59
  just.
• 56:59
  It's
• 56:59
  phenomenal.
• 57:00
  It's
• 57:00
  really
• 57:01
  mirrors
• 57:02
  kind
• 57:02
  of

  A
• 57:06
  lot
• 57:06
  of
• 57:06
  those
• 57:06
  themes
• 57:06
  are
• 57:07
  there
• 57:07
  of
• 57:07
  just
• 57:07
  you
• 57:08
  know,
• 57:08
  a
• 57:08
  teenage
• 57:08
  superhero

  trying

  different

• 57:11
  of

• 57:12
  Absolute
• 57:13
  phenomenal
• 57:14
  storytelling
• 57:14
  throughout.
• 57:15
  And
• 57:15
  yeah,
• 57:16
  they
• 57:16
  really
• 57:16
  need
• 57:16
  to
• 57:16
  put
• 57:17
  that
