Intro
(2:45) How Dr. DC, Sr. got in to comics
Pocket of Logical Inconsistencies
(11:08) What bugs Dr. DC Sr.?
(16:01) Superman to Clark Kent? No glasses to glasses?

- Batsuit worn by Christian Bale or 4000 signed photos of Dean Cain as Superman
- One bottle of Renuyu cream or the minimum price to book Dean Cain
