Now, the writers have never gone down that route before, so I'm curious as to how well this will play out and how interesting both Batman and Robin will be in Superman's absence.
Jim RomanovichHOST
So, if you're ready, let's get to this must-listen-to episode as Superman attempts to confront Latimer in his bedroom to steal the kryptonite, only to be exposed after the lead box falls open in the scuffle with its deadly rays now exposed.
Jim RomanovichHOST
This is Superman vs. Kryptonite Part 3 from May 16th, 1947 here on the Superman Radio Podcast on Radio Etropolis.

Today, Superman accepts the challenge of his very existence as he steps upon an open platform to face the cruel, relentless possessor of his one enemy, deadly, destructive Kryptonite.
TravisHOST
Well, make a bomb, a giant bomb.
TravisHOST
And it got a special casting that, like, case just like stuff for Kryptonite with the lid.
TravisHOST
It's encased with something that will shield the plane and the Green Lanterns from...
TravisHOST
the yellow element.
ClaraHOST
Oh, yeah.
AdrianHOST
We're gonna be zeroing in on a very specific moment in time, uh, the 1945 to 1946 story arc called Looking for Kryptonite.
ClaraHOST
Such a classic arc.
AdrianHOST
It is, and we'll get into the absolutely groundbreaking team-ups with Batman & Robin that followed it.

AdrianHOST
That's what I thought before reading the sources
ClaraHOST
Most people do, but the documented history tells a completely different story.
ClaraHOST
Kryptonite didn't make its official comic book debut until six entire years after it first put Bud Collyer to sleep on the radio

She had Kryptonite.
Michelle PostHOST
Oh, so true.
Michelle PostHOST
So true, right? She is your kryptonite.
ZakHOST
So like the majority of her life, she just thought that everyone that she ever knew was dead until she found out that like some of her planet was still alive.
ZakHOST
The idea that... she was born after Kryptonite exploded is so bad.
ZakHOST
And I think negates a lot of her depression a

bit.
