Host Anthony Desiato and guest Ed Gross dig into “Superman” no.330 from the Bronze Age — aka the comic book origin of the hypno-glasses that inspired their use in James Gunn’s “Superman.”
Anthony and Ed also offer up a wider survey of the Clark/Superman identity across time and media, from the traditional Pre-Crisis depiction to its Post-Crisis inversion, and the exceptions and nuances along the way.
PLUS: Head on over to the Digging for Kryptonite Patreon this Friday, July 25, 2025, for a free bonus episode — in which Anthony mounts a defense for Superman maintaining a secret identity with guest Perry Constantine (Superhero Cinephiles).
