Welcome to episode 22 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show’s mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel’s Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.

This week, we again interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you the second of the show’s special Fifth Week episodes. This time, Michael weighs in on a story from ACTION COMICS #900. Yeah, that story. It’s generated a lot of controversy, but Michael briefly talks about why that’s a moot subject, then opens up about a different aspect of the story and explains what really got under his skin.

QUOTABLE:
‘The American Way’ is an intrinsic part of who Superman is.
