This is an essay I wrote back in 2005, this delves into the very question as to why Superman has continued to survive with each passing generation. It's a great read and one that I hope you enjoy. Also I'm now a member of the "SimplySuperman / Batman," writing staff and will be writing comic and graphic novel reviews for the website.

In this portion (recorded January 13th). We discuss Wonder Woman not getting picked up by any of the networks (note: there is a reason for this. Since the podcast was recorded David E. Kelley said it was because of timing, he just didn't pitch it early enough fo them to pick it up, so it was not disinterest). We also discuss the Smallville "Destiny Is Now" poster and its potential implications on the remainder of the season. And we have a few tangents. Joining us is Sam Rizzo, owner of the Superboy Homepage and Kaman Stowell, vlogger extraordinaire on youtube (and a super-collector). Enjoy!
The Superman community and family are saddened by the news of the passing of Susannah York, who portrayal Lara-El in Superman: The Movie. Ilya Salkind (Producer, Superman I-III) commented on the news of the passing of Susannah.
"It is with terrible sorrow to learn of the passing of Susannah York. She was a grand lady of acting and definitely made Lara-El the ultimate mother who understands that the way to happiness for her son is to relinquish his powers for love. As a mother she knows love is more important to the growth of Kal-El at that time. It is this understanding that allowed the audience to accept Superman giving up his powers, which will
make him his own man. I was honored and grateful to be able to work with Susannah." - Ilya Salkind
Our thoughts and prayers are with Susannah York's family and friends at this time.
