Geek of Steel 72 — My DC FanDome experience
I love a sequel! DC FanDome returned recently and it was worth the wait.

Episode 68 is here and it is filled to the brim with topics! Everything from DC FanDome to the new Matrix trailer.
I’m not sure how many times over the years Clark Kent has used a phone box / booth to transform into Superman but I know it’s a lot!
Recently I was invited to Park Row, a brand new restaurant in that has a Batman / DC Comics twist. It’s the first DC-inspired gastronomic restaurant experience found anywhere in the world and I can’t wait to go back.
James Gunn’s long awaited “The Suicide Squad” is soon to be released (UK July 30, 2021/USA August 6, 2021) and although we have waited so long for it, none of us are ready for it!
Zack Benz is the Editor-In-Chief of the Daily Planet website and we have been talking over the internet for quite some time. I was so happy when he agreed to be a special guest on the podcast.
In this episode of The Podcast Of Steel I talk all about “Superman & Lois” and why it’s a show I needed in my life right now.
I have never heard the Superman score played by an orchestra and this event is on my bucket-list. When I think of Superman (and that’s a lot!) I always have music playing in my head. It’s the “Superman March” and I know that when I feel the orchestra play any piece of music from this iconic movie my heart is going to be beating out of my chest.
I love when I am able to speak with the talented creators who have brought my hero to life. I am not sure how many times I have read “Kingdom Come” or “Superman: Birthright” over the years but I know it is a lot. They are two very different stories but that have both had a huge impact on my life so when Mark Waid agreed to be a guest on the show I was very happy!
I love science and I love comics so when you combine those two topics you get an explosion of fun and information. “Flash Facts” is DC’s newest middle grade graphic novel and it takes readers aged eight to 12 (and older fans!) on 10 fun adventures. Also, when you are finished enjoying the book there are projects you can do at home. I would have loved this book when I was in school!
Recently, the Geek of Steel was able to speak with Lilly Aspell, the actress who plays the young Diana Prince in ‘Wonder Woman’ (2017) and ‘Wonder Woman 1984,’ (2020). The Geek of Steel was fascinated by her stories. Lilly was a perfect guest and the two had a wonderful chat about her time on both movies, the lessons she has learned on set and how Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins have been a huge influence in her life.
