Host Anthony Desiato and guest Tyler Patrick (Krypton Report) dig into SMALLVILLE's television adaptations of the major villains from the Superman mythology: recurring/season-long antagonists Brainiac, Zod, Bizarro, Doomsday, and Darkseid. They discuss how the series brought each villain to life in terms of characterization, backstory, comic book fidelity, and role in Clark's larger journey.

PLUS! For even more SMALLVILLE villains talk — including Mr. Mxyzptlk, Toyman, Metallo, Silver Banshee, Maxima, and Ultraman — be sure to tune in for a special BONUS episode on 10/18/24!
