DCN Podcast #186: Matthew Vaughn Pitched A Superman Trilogy, Elseworlds Imprint Returning

·1 hr 9 min·20 clips

DC Comics News Weekly Podcast episode 186 begins with Seth Singleton joined by Brad Felicki, and the first stretch of the conversation is reflective more than brisk. They open by talking through the death of Phyllis Coates. Her passing matters because she was the first Lois Lane on Adventures of Superman. The hosts treat that as part of the larger history of these stories and the people who shaped them. From there, the mood settles into the weekly news rhythm. The show turns toward TV and streaming updates. Bodies comes up as one of the main talking points. The conversation lands on the project being on Netflix and the fact that it is a Vertigo adaptation. They note how easy it is for a title like that to slip through the cracks when there is so much content out there. That detail becomes part of the larger point. They are interested in how comic material travels into other formats. The hosts talk about the appeal of seeing a story in both comic and screen form. One of them says the premise, with its different times and killers including Jack the Ripper, sounded fascinating. They also realize, mid-conversation, that they had missed or forgotten some release details and that it was already out. That correction gives the segment a lived-in feel. It sounds like two fans catching up in real time. The pace stays measured and conversational throughout. There is no attempt to sound detached or overly formal. Instead, they move from one topic to the next by agreement and follow-up. The episode favors shared enthusiasm over hard-edged criticism. It is strongest when the hosts make connections between current adaptations and the broader DC archive. The closing stretches into the show’s familiar sign-off and subscription reminder. The final note is simple. Read more comics.
