Creative Coalition Presents the Superman Radio Show Review!

At DC FanDome, yesterday, was the world premiere of the Creative Coalition production of the original Superman radio program!  It was located in the WatchVerse section of the FanDome.  Note that the radio show established many of the concepts that were integrated into the comic books and character!  I heard the original and it was thrilling!  This is from the destruction of Krypton with Giancarlo Esposito as Jor-El!  It features old time foley effects not a digital sound board.  There is the Fleischer Superman animation and some comic book panels, unfortunately, not the classic Joe Shuster or Curt Swan illustrations!  



It is unusual to see the actors on Zoom reacting, radio is imagining reactions, the acting is like pure voice acting. The foley artist, Rene Ruiz, of course does sound effects by himself, usually it's several members using equipment. The commercial breaks for the Creative Coalition are fun. The best part is the actors describe everything as part of the story. Then, we have Terry Crews as narrator, ha! Sean Giambrone as Jimmy Olsen, perfect casting! Also Henry Winkler as the professor. Um, Tim Daly (from the animated series) voices Superman! Alfre Woodward as Perry White, Alfre Woodward! They have to face the villainy of The Wolf, Tony Shaloub, who plans to sabotage the trains! This is a treat! The actors have fun with their parts.


Episode 3 has Jason Alexander as the narrator. Wilson Cruz from Rent and Star Trek: Discovery as Superman/Clark Kent! Superman faces the sabotage of the train, the Silver Clipper. Episode 4 features CCH Pounder as the narrator. Now the incredibly evil of The Wolf is voiced by Jason Isaacs, voicing the Inquisitor from Star Wars: Rebels, also from Star Trek: Discovery! His henchman, Keno, now voiced by Anthony Rapp, from Rent and also Star Trek: Discovery! Episode 5 has Anthony Carrigan as the Superintendent, I sense a Barry connection with Henry Winkler, plus Daniel Dae Kim as Superman, yes! Superman has to defeat Keno and The Wolf! Great work, Creative Coalition, you can check them out at: https://thecreativecoalition.org/ This has some great voice acting, some great fun, and the classic adventure of Superman!
