Superman 2025 Bonus Episode: Cape Therapy & Kryptonian Identity Crisis


Listen Later

Mart & Trev suit up for the promised Superman (2025) bonus episode, where David Corenswet dons the cape for a reboot that’s equal parts action, pep talk, and therapy session. Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) gets her scoop, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) acts like Elon Musk with a grudge, and then there's Krypto the Superdog.

It's James Gunn's way or the highway!
