About this listen

Michael Bailey likes Superman. A lot. So much so that From Crisis to Crisis, the other Superman show he co-hosts with his friend, was not enough to contain his fandom for the Man of Steel. This erratic reaffirmation of Michael's Kryptonian faith covers everything about Superman that Michael loves about the character. Comics. Animation. Live action. Prose. Everything is on the table because no matter what it all comes back to Superman.2023 Art Literary History & Criticism

  • Episode 27 - Moving Kryptonian Images Part 19 - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    Jun 16 2025

    Welcome to another, equally controversial installment of the podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

    Jon Wilson (he of of Ninjas and Bots, Babylon 5: Thirty Years Later, and The Spider Diaries) returns to talk about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It is both fair and accurate to say that from the time it was announced and especially when it was released that this movie has garnered a lot of controversy. Not real controversy. I mean...there are many, many, many real controversies in the world that we should be arguing about, but for some reason this movie gets brought up again and again.

    Seriously. The world's on fire. And not in a good way. And people still focus on this film. It's wild.

    Though, how much of a leg to stand on do I have? I've been doing a whole series about Superman movies.

    Anyway, Jon and I have another honest conversation about the movie and once again I chose to take on the movie on the movie's terms. We talk about the Bat costume, whether or not this was the right take on Batman for the first film in a new iteration, what potential crimes Batman committed...man, we talked about Batman a lot. But we also talked about Superman, Lex Luthor, Lois, and much, much more. The good. The bad. What we liked. What we didn't like. It was a fun two hours.

    Once again, I’d like to thank Jon for joining me on this episode. Head on over to the Jon Reads Comics site to check out all of his fantastic podcasts.

    Jun 9 2025

    Welcome to a controversial installment of the podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

    I think it is both fair and accurate to say that Man of Steel is a contentious Superman film, at least as far as the Superman fan community is concerned. It was a movie that brought in a new generation of fans, but it was also a movie that did things to the character that some (not all, some) older fans had serious problems while other older fans really liked it and what could best be described as a bar fight broke out on social media platforms and, in some corners of those platforms, that fight is still going on. Talking about Man of Steel is much more complicated than it needs to be.

    Because of that, I wanted to talk to someone that loves Man of Steel but is still willing to have a genuine and honest conversation about the film. Which is why I asked my good friend Jon Wilson (he of Ninjas and Bots, Babylon 5: Thirty Years Later, and The Spider Diaries) to not only join me for this episode, but also the next one. We talk about all of the big moments of the film as well as the moments that caused the most controversy. The new version of Krypton, Jonathan Kents "maybe", Jonathan Kent's death, this version of Zod, the neck snap heard round the world, and Zack Snyder and David Goyer's take on Superman in general. I'm not saying it's the most in-depth conversation about Man of Steel, but it's honest and kind of funny at times.

    Once again, I'd like to thank Jon for joining me on this episode. Head on over to the Jon Reads Comics site to check out all of his fantastic podcasts.

  • Episode 25 - Moving Kryptonian Images Part 17 - Superman Unbound
    Jun 2 2025

    Welcome to a boundless installment of the podcasting maxi-series called Moving Kryptonian Images: The Live Action and Animated Adventures of Superman! The purpose of this series is to celebrate the release of the new Superman film, written and directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor!

    This time out Tyler Patrick of The Krypton Report joins me to talk about Superman Unbound. This animated film is based on the Brainiac storyline from Action Comics issues 866-870, which was written by Geoff Johns with art by Gary Frank and is the second animated film covered in this series where Superman faces off against Brainiac. As has become the norm with these animated films Tyler and I talk about both the movie and the comic, comparing and contrasting the two and even going into the time period the story was originally published. We also talk about Supergirl's role in the film, the voice cast, the animated, and the music. Plus, in the middle I fight a bear.

    Okay, I don't fight a bear at any point in the episode. I was just seeing if you were paying attention to the notes at this point.

    Once again, I wanted to thank Patrick for being on the show. Be sure to check out The Krypton Report because it's a great show.
