The House of El: A Superman, Smallville & DCU Podcast

The House of El goes live following the premiere of "Superman" in Cleveland, Ohio on July 11, 2025 with a panel of titans from the pages of DC Comics (including Brian Michael Bendis, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Andrew Aydin, Sina Grace, Grace Ellis and Gene Luen Yang) to discuss the new film.

Following Derek's attendance of the world premiere of "Superman" in Hollywood on Monday, Derek and "Smallville" and Superman writer Bryan Q. Miller sit down for a press screening of the film and share their thoughts immediately walking out of the theater in this non-spoiler review of the movie.
