It All Comes Back to Superman Series Two

Episode 30 - Adapting All-Star Superman: A Conversation with Meghan Fitzmartin


Listen Later

Another week, another tangent from Moving Kryptonian Images.

This should be the last one. Promise. 

Anyway, in a weird way this episode could be considered an addendum to the conversation I had with Russ Burlingame about All-Star Superman. In the time between that episode and this one, another adaptation of that story has been released. On June 24, 2025 Penguin Random House put out an audiobook version of All-Star Superman with a cast that includes Marc Thompson, Kristen Sieh, Christopher Smith, Matthew Amendt, Scott Brick, Sean Kenin Elias-Reyes, Robert Fass, January LaVoy, Saskia Maarleveld, Brandon McInnis, and Ray Porter. I've been wanting DC to do more in the audio realm, especially with Superman, and it's cool that this came along.

Joining me this time to discuss the audiobook and the story in general is the woman that adapted the story. Meghan Fitzmartin is no stranger to either writing adaptations of DC characters or writing the characters for the comics. Her credits include Dark Crisis: Young Justice, Tim Drake: Robin, and Batman: Urban Legends as well as the animated film Justice Society: World War II and both parts of Justice League and Rwby: Superheroes and Huntsman. In a pinned post over on Blue Sky she wrote that you could ask her anything about All-Star Superman and I thought I would take her up on that offer.

For a little over an hour we discuss a variety of topics, including what fantastic comic turned Meghan into a lifelong fan, how Adventures in Odyssey led to her love of audio dramas, what went into turning Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's comic book story into an audiobook, her feelings on Bizarro speak, who Lex Luthor would have voted for in the recent election, which live action Lois Lane made her love the character, and so much more. It was a fun conversation, and I appreciate Meghan taking the time to join me on the show.

The opening  theme to the show is titled Journey and was composed by Pontus Rufelt. It is licensed from Shockwave-Sound. The closing theme is a surprise.
