Digging for Kryptonite: A Superman Fan Journey

Superman's Pal — JIMMY OLSEN Across Time & Media (PLUS: Who Killed Jimmy Olsen?)


Listen Later

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Mike Sangregorio dig into the various incarnations of "Superman's Pal," Jimmy Olsen, across time and media — examining the evolution of Jimmy's characterization, backstory, and friendships with both Clark & Superman. They discuss his wild Silver Age transformations, the impact of Jack Larson's portrayal in the George Reeves TV series, the Henry James debacle on SMALLVILLE, hopes for James Gunn's SUPERMAN, and much more.

PLUS! Anthony and Mike shine a spotlight on the superb 2019-2020 maxiseries WHO KILLED JIMMY OLSEN? by Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, a cracking blend of Quentin Tarantino, Arrested Development, and the world of Superman.
