Host Anthony Desiato and guest Tim Bruns dig into the various "final" Superman stories across time & media.

Their survey covers "The Death of Superman" from SUPERMAN #149 (1961), "The Amazing Story of Superman-Red and Superman-Blue" from SUPERMAN #162 (1963), "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?", KINGDOM COME, the Tom Welling Crisis scene, the series finale of SUPERMAN & LOIS, and more.

In the end, which final fate is right for the Man of Steel: death in battle, immortality, centuries in the sun, humanity, or something else?
