When an ancient, glass-encased city rises from the ocean's depths, chaos erupts on land, sea, and air. Luthor, ever the fiendish genius, unleashes dinosaurs, pterodactyls, and even a giant rat (yes, a rat!) to thwart the Man of Steel. As Superman leaps into action, Lois Lane finds herself in constant peril — unconscious, kidnapped, and tottering dangerously close to doom!

Witness Superman brawl with prehistoric beasts, survive an exploding airplane, and thwart Luthor’s apocalyptic plans in this Golden Age romp where science defies reason, and villains dream big! It’s an action-packed rollercoaster of thrills, laughs, and giant glass domes.

Get ready for outrageous fun and wild commentary from your hosts as they unravel this vintage gem of comic book madness!
