As discussed! Was Pa Kent’s cover story to Lois — that the Kents had raised Superman in secret as a “stepbrother” to Clark — not the most bonkers choice during this run? 😂

Hope you’re enjoying the finale to our Byrne event! As discussed, Byrne wasn’t expected to exit when he did, and — according to Mike Carlin a few episodes ago — it was so abrupt that Byrne’s post-Supergirl Saga plans were unknown. Where do YOU think/hope Byrne would have gone story-wise?

Why would Superman go along with this? Because he was going to use the 💵 to send kids to camp, of course! 😂

⚡️ Two years ago, we presented “Red Skies,” an epic, multi-part journey through all of DC’s continuity-altering, Crisis-level events. It was a blast, even if I was *quite* fried after the Metal Wars.

And now…

BEHOLD the Peacemaker costume as displayed at NYCC last week!

Although the finale felt a bit anticlimactic to me, I did enjoy the emotional journey in Season 2 overall, and John Cena absolutely crushed it.

We discussed all that & more in Tuesday’s ep. Cue it up this weekend!
