It’s kind of funny how after Byrne’s story avoided explicitly calling him “Bizarro,” that’s what they call him in this entry.

Hello,
I’m Adam Mallinger
I’m a lifelong Superman fan who got to live his dream in 2020 when I was hired on the CW show SUPERMAN & LOIS as Writers’ Assistant. In my second season there, I was promoted to Staff Writer and I remained on staff through seasons 2 and 3. During my time there I wrote one episode in each of the four seasons and co-wrote the SUPERMAN & LOIS comic.
I also used to blog and tweet under the name The Bitter Script Reader. I also wrote the book MICHAEL F-ING BAY: THE UNHERALDED GENIUS IN MICHAEL BAY’S FILMS under that name.
I started this blog as a tribute to my favorite era of Superman, the Post-Crisis incarnation also often referred to as “The Triangle Era.” Each issue of Post-Crisis Superman will be covered on the 40th anniversary of its original release.
