In Episode 80 we are diving deep into a piece of Superman cinema history that was thought to be lost to the Phantom Zone forever.

Joining Alan Burke is a true legend of the Superman fan community, Martin Lakin of Supermania78 and Caped Wonder Europe.

Martin breaks down the incredible recent discovery of the "Metroclub" scene from Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

For years, fans have traded theories and blurry production stills of this deleted sequence, but Martin and his team of Superfriends have worked hard to bring this rumoured scene back to life.

Whether you are a Superman IV apologist or a film history buff, this is an interview 40 years in the making...literally!

What makes you think you can take on Superman, when you can’t even handle a mere mortal in a fright mask?!

In this episode of All Star Superfan Podcast, Alan and Rob are joined by veteran rewatch podcaster Lance Laster for a retrospective review of “World’s Finest,” the legendary Batman and Superman crossover from Superman: The Animated Series. Batman and Superman must put their differences aside to face a combined threat from The Joker, Lex Luthor, and an army of killer robots! Originally aired as a three-part episode and later released as The Batman/Superman Movie, this is peak DC animation very near and dear to our 1990s hearts.

Along the way, we ask the important questions:

• Would Batman really fall in love with Lois Lane?

• Just how bad is the Joker’s aim?

• Is Lex Luthor a great negotiator or not?

• And… what on Earth happened to Bruce Wayne’s "public persona" voice?

All of this and much more, as we celebrate everything that makes World’s Finest such a standout chapter in Batman and Superman history.

PLUS: We branch out into some of our other favourite World’s Finest-style Batman/Superman stories, including Public Enemies, The Dark Knight Returns, Superman/Batman Generations, and the recent Tom King Batman run. Inevitably, comparisons are drawn to visionary director Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... batten down the hatches, folks!
