And when we get to the point in primetime where...
A
70:59Anthony DesiatoHOST
the returned Manchester Black is manipulating Prime, playing with his mind, trying to get him to punch reality first to bring Manchester back because his consciousness survived, but not his physical form.
A
71:11Anthony DesiatoHOST
And he needs this Prime punch in order to restore him.
A
71:13Anthony DesiatoHOST
But then he wants to use Superboy's knowledge of the real world and just of all of this continuity generally to make the changes to the DC universe that Manchester wants.
A
71:50Anthony DesiatoHOST
And so we do have to have some moment of reckoning.
A
71:52Anthony DesiatoHOST

However, what I would say is because of that Manchester Black mental block around Clark's secret identity, were anyone to question something odd like that, they might slip into a coma and die.
P
45:11Paul KaminskyGUEST
So let's hope they don't.
P
45:12Paul KaminskyGUEST
But yeah, you know, that's a fair point.

Had to go up against Manchester Black.
T

Yeah, I thought that was a really unique way to bring Manchester Black back into the story.
