Josh FlanaganHOST
Mm
Conor KilpatrickHOST
... for Jonathan Kent and Damian.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
And so now all these millennial heroes have been sort of put into m- limbo.
Josh FlanaganHOST
Mm-hmm.
Colleen DoyleHOST
Oh-
Dana QuercioliHOST
Now, I'm just gonna say it, that's the truck Jonathan and Martha Kent were driving when they discovered Superman in the 1970s-
Colleen DoyleHOST
Oh, crossover
Dana QuercioliHOST
...
Michael BaileyHOST
This was another big one from the time period.
Michael BaileyHOST
Martha and Jonathan Kent being alive into Clark's adulthood.
Michael BaileyHOST
This is one of the easiest to have an opinion on.
Michael BaileyHOST
Because Jonathan and Martha being alive was one of the reasons why picking up Superman number eight and seeing them And seeing adult Super Clark talking and having a picnic with his parent, you know, with his adopted parents, even though the adoptive part is not on the table for the post-crisis Superman.
Mike AlbertinHOST
Like, you know, I'm completely okay with that.
Mike AlbertinHOST
Well, I know like for Tiff, because she had to walk away from this, one of her issues with this movie for Jonathan Kent is all she could do is see him from the movie Identity, which is probably one of the only ten people out there that caught that reference and went, oh, that guy! So, you know, there was that, too.
Mike AlbertinHOST
And I will completely believe that it was less than 10 people out there that went like that.
Mike AlbertinHOST
And she's one of them.
Brian WishartGUEST
I turned against the movie 100% when, um...
Brian WishartGUEST
Okay, so m- my favorite scene in Batman v Superman, which my, my most hated movie ever made, is when Pa Kent in a dream gives a long speech about how, like, all the horses drowned at the Lang farm and how it made him very, very sad.
Brian WishartGUEST
And, like, it ha- it has...
Brian WishartGUEST
I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
BlaineGUEST
...
BlaineGUEST
I, I was instantly reminded of everyone freaking out about Pa Kent and what happened in Man of Steel, and I was like, "This is worse."
Alan NgHOST
[laughs] Yeah.
BlaineGUEST
This is actually worse.
Mark LacksHOST
And Celeste Sims wrote, I hope you're all doing well.
Mark LacksHOST
My favorite Martha and Jonathan Kent action figures are based off the Superman series.
Mark LacksHOST
They're colorful retro action figures.
Mark LacksHOST
They're pocket-sized and great for a simple Christmas gift.
Steve YounisHOST
doing him any favors in that look either.
Michael BaileyHOST
No, it is not.
Michael BaileyHOST
There's not a whole lot of Martha and Jonathan Kent action figures.
Michael BaileyHOST
I'm going to
Mo GawdatGUEST
The metaphor I give is we're raising Superman, right? We have this alien being that just came to planet Earth in its infancy and it has the power to change everything, to fix everything, right? The thing is that it's not that, you know, that infant could fly and stop speeding bullets that made it Superman.
Mo GawdatGUEST
If Jonathan Kent said, oh my God, you can fly, go and rob every bank, it would have become super villain.
Mo GawdatGUEST
And that's what we're up against.
Mo GawdatGUEST
What we're up against is that we have this incredible prodigy of intelligence the ultimate superpower of the universe at our fingertips and, you know, within the capability of our infant artificially intelligent children.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
And instead of [laughs] waiting till they've committed the crime, he just throws them in jail now.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
And meanwhile, the, the Justice League, or, or members of it, Aquaman, J'onn J'onzz, Wonder Woman, uh, Jonathan Kent, uh, Red Tornado, I think that's it, uh, they're all meeting about The Flash problem on the...
Conor KilpatrickHOST
Oh, Green Arrow, obviously, on the top of Mount Everest.
Conor KilpatrickHOST
Uh, what, what are we gonna do with this guy? Uh, uh, Green Arrow doesn't like that he's becoming, like, a little fascist.
HassanHOST
I just knew the premise of the whole like nail and stuff.
HassanHOST
And, you know, Jonathan can apparently can't change the tire, even though he's a farmer because he just
Brian ClarkHOST
didn't want to.
Brian ClarkHOST
Yeah, he
Brian ClarkHOST
And I had to actually know how do we end each issue for when we talk about it tonight, right? But it did have a nice introduction by Alan Davis, but it also had an afterward from another collection that he'd, another introduction he'd written, but it talks about how long it took this book to actually happen.
Brian ClarkHOST
I don't know if you guys read that at all.
Brian ClarkHOST
He, DC asked him to pitch something and it's when editors were turning over a lot and he really kind of, when you read it, has a love for silver age dc and it kind of sounds similar to darwin cook's love and we're how we got new frontier he wanted to do a silver age with dc's story with all the justice league heroes he loved and he kind of pitched it with this elseworld twist and i told him that's not it's not a big enough twist And for those listening, the twist is Jonathan and Martha Kent had a flat tire.
Brian ClarkHOST
A nail was in their tire when they were going to go into town.
