Now


I want to see the world from which "anti-superman" is coming.

Sounds like a pretty dark and interesting place ...

We have seen it now, and it matches what I suspected.

We have seen the bizarro world. It doesn't entirely match, of course, though they tried with the white faced Superman. I was delighted it was cubical. I do have some issues with the story, though. We will have to see how it resoves.

I thought it was clever how they were showing the back side of titles. It’s a refreshing shock to see some actual creative thought put into a CW show.

They also took a bold move in the
Superman mythology with tonight’s ep, which I won’t spoil here. It actually moved me to tears, but not of sadness. It was what you might call overwhelming. Hope you enjoy it.

Apropos of just about nothing, there is a Bizarro Lane near where I live!

I agree with you, R_Kane.

In your reply to me, you named a number of book titles that I thought were DC comic titles whence tonight’s transformation derived. I am stupid. I remembered they they are books you have written.

I am writing this because I scorn posters who just turn tail and (delete) their posts. You deserve an answer.

For what it’s worth, I’ve always thought you’re an asset to this site.

BTW, if you’ve not seen Stargirl, you may enjoy it. Its most remarkable characteristic is that so much of it is about the relationship between classic DC antagonists and their antagonist children and the protagonist DC children and their roots—and that the “bad” families and their progeny are not brushed in ALL BLACK by the narrative. I don’t know how the hell that the CW bought this, but I celebrate the enlightened, sophisticated daylights out of it.

I really wish that Stargirl and Superman and Lois could be ported to streaming, like Paramount+, etc. My fave broadcast network show, CBS’ Evil, got exponentially better when ported to Paramount+ and was set free from the broadcast network’s Standard and Practices restrictions. Imagine the same for Superman and Lois.

My wife and I have been enjoying Stargirl a great deal.

Yes, those are my books. A bit self-serving, I suppose, but being an independent author means promotion is limited to what I can do.

And I completely forgot to thank you for you kind compliment!
