Host Anthony Desiato presents a special Superman Day bonus episode! Anthony and guest Ed Gross (Superman: The Definitive History) survey Supergirl’s adaptations across film, television, and animation — including the 1984 Helen Slater film, “Smallville,” the CBS/CW series starring Melissa Benoist, and more.
They also dig into the original “Superman III” treatment by Ilya Salkind, which reimagined Superman & Supergirl as lovers and Brainiac as Supergirl’s adoptive father-turned-suitor.
MORE talk about Supergirl on “Superman: The Animated Series,” “Smallville” and the CBS/CW series is coming later in this event!
