Episode 1: Please Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves
Welcome to the first episode of The Superman and Lois Tapes, a podcast dedicated to the CW series Superman and Lois. Most episodes will be devoted to the latest episode of the series where the hosts (Bethany, Alison, and Michael) will talk about what they liked, what they didn’t like, and any Easter eggs that they happen to spot.
First episodes of podcasts are hard, so Bethany, Alison, and Michael overcome this by spending about an hour and change talking about why they wanted to do this show and what their backgrounds with Superman are. Alison tells Michael all about Tyler Hoechlin’s acting career (because Michael doesn’t watch much television), Michael gives a few mini TEDTalks about Superman in the comics, and Bethany expands on the pros and cons of Clark and Lois having two sons instead of a son and daughter. Other topics include the previous CW super-hero crossovers, the evolution of the DC CW shows, and Nightwing and Wally West are brought up as well.

This was fun to listen to, and I’m looking forward to watching “Superman & Lois”, and hearing your reactions to it.
On the question of whether there is a comic-book version of a Jordan Kent, Michael was on the right track with his suggestion of a Silver Age Imaginary Story from the 1960s, although the twins (one powered, one not) were named “Jor-El II” (Which is odd, because, in the Silver Age, Superman’s father Jor-El was actually “Jor-El II”, named for his own father, Jor-El.) who had super powers, and “Kal-El II”, who did not. I doubt much use will be made of this story, given the general disdain for the Silver Age these days, but I just wanted to mention it.
The story is “The Sons of Superman”, in Superman, Volume 1, #166, cover-dated January 1964.
