And Who Disguised as CLARK KENT — Behind the (HYPNO) GLASSES
Episode Description
Host Anthony Desiato and guest Ed Gross dig into SUPERMAN #330 from the Bronze Age — aka the comic book origin of the hypno-glasses that inspired their use in James Gunn's Superman.
Anthony and Ed also offer up a wider survey of the Clark/Superman identity across time and media, from the traditional Pre-Crisis depiction to its Post-Crisis inversion, and the exceptions and nuances along the way.
