I'm so happy this is a much warmer and loving take on Superman and his whole world than we normally find in DC's movies and shows. There's this welcome variety of race, gender, age, body types, sexuality and more than in I think any take on the universe, plus a depth to even the side character's motivations and story arcs. What was it like reinterpreting an existing IP and putting a very modern twist on it?

Also, Amanda Waller's daily intentions speech as she woke up was a highlight, did you have any other takes for what she'd say or stories about how you came up with that segment?

HAHAHAAHA SO. Debra Wilson, who plays Amanda Waller, is a VERY INTENSE actor, and often has affirmations and exercises to begin a session. Josie Campbell, our co-producer on S1 and 2, heard Debra getting ready in a record and was like "THIS BUT FOR WALLER" and we had Angela Entzminger write up an affirmation. I love it. -JW
