We break down the new Superman spinoff centered on Jimmy Olsen, titled DC Crime, headed to Max. The conversation covers the true crime style approach, a season one focus on Gorilla Grodd, and how the Daily Planet newsroom could drive the story without leaning on Clark and Lois. We also talk tone, why a reporter’s lens fits the DCU right now, and what Skyler Gisondo brings to this version of Jimmy.
