Look! Up in the sky...it's a bird, it's a plane...it's Necronomicast with author/speaker/lawyer William Bernhardt as a special guest! Blending legal insight, historical research, and deeply human storytelling, William Bernhardt delivers the definitive account of one of the most consequential and misunderstood creator-rights battles in American pop culture history. For generations, Superman has stood as a symbol of hope, morality, and idealism. Yet few readers know the true story behind his creation or the devastating cost paid by his original creators. In his book, "The Superman Wars", Bernhardt pulls back the curtain on the legal, cultural, and ethical conflicts that shaped the Man of Steel and forever changed the comics industry. Rather than retelling a well-known pop culture narrative, Bernhardt reframes Superman as history. He traces the character's creation to two young men, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, whose work helped define an industry while leaving them financially and creatively vulnerable. Their experience became one of the earliest and most influential examples of creators losing control of their intellectual property to powerful corporations. Bernhardt's background as a lawyer gives him a unique lens through which to examine the legal battles surrounding Superman. He translates complex copyright disputes into an accessible narrative, showing how early publishing contracts routinely stripped creators of long-term rights in exchange for modest, short-term compensation. These practices shaped not only the comics industry but the broader entertainment landscape. The Superman Wars places Superman within the social and historical context of the late 1930s, a time marked by economic hardship and global uncertainty. Bernhardt explains why Superman emerged at precisely the right moment in American history and why his emphasis on moral clarity and justice resonated so deeply with readers seeking reassurance and hope. The Superman Wars also speaks directly to modern creators. The book raises enduring questions about ownership, fairness, and the balance between art and commerce. Bernhardt argues that Siegel's story remains deeply relevant in today's publishing, film, and digital media industries. The Superman Wars stands as both a tribute to creative vision and a cautionary tale about power, legacy, and justice. Willam Bernhardt's official website. "The Superman Wars" at Amazon.

8-year-old Zachary Bernhardt went missing nearly 26 years ago on September 11th, 2000, from the apartment where he was living with his mother. Zachary has never been found, and his case is the longest-running Amber Alert in Florida. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the disappearance of Zachary Bernhardt. Zachary's mother, Leah Hackett, has received some bad press over the years, and the police have even called her uncooperative at times. Her story about the night Zachary vanished is odd, but as far as we know, there is no evidence against her. Kevin G. Jalbert was arrested for crimes not directly related to Zachary's disappearance, but he once told someone he was responsible.

Episode 202 DNA ID Replay Cliff and Linda Bernhardt While Jess is on summer break preparing new episodes of DNA ID, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. In this episode, we explore the case of Cliff and Linda Bernhardt which originally aired back in episode 35. In 1973, a double homicide shocked Billings, Montana. A young couple was found murdered in their locked home. They had no enemies, yet clues at the scene told police that their killer was not a stranger. And things he took away with him indicated that he had a personal interest in one of his victims. But the clues left behind and trophies taken were not enough to help investigators to zero in on the killer. Four and a half decades later, DNA and forensic genealogy finally answered the question: who killed Cliff and Linda Bernhardt?

X-Men '97 Season 2 is here, and Frank and Thomas break down the first three episodes with the kind of comic book receipts only a guy who has read nearly every 90s X-Men run can bring. From Mother Askani and the Summers family timeline chaos to Storm's god-tier power up, X-Force's return, and the Rise of Apocalypse, they dig into what the show nails, where episode two stumbles, and whether Kang is being set up as the season's secret villain. Then Frank sits down with Bill Bernhardt, author of over 60 books, to talk about The Superman Wars, his narrative nonfiction account of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's decades-long fight with DC over the rights to Superman. Bill shares stories from his interviews with Siegel's daughter, the heartbreaking letters Jerry wrote in the 1950s, why Clark Kent is really just a taller Jerry, and hard-won advice for writers protecting their work today. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and What's on This Episode 01:43 X-Men '97 Season 2 Review Begins: Episode 1, Days of Future Past 13:11 Episode 2: A Force to Be Reckoned With 23:13 Episode 3: Rise of Apocalypse Part One 24:57 Kang Theories and MCU Connections 34:31 Interview: Bill Bernhardt, Author of The Superman Wars 55:06 Rapid Fire Superman Questions with Bill 01:02:24 Wrap-Up, Network News, and What's Coming to Patreon Key Takeaways X-Men '97 Season 2 juggles three timelines and decades of convoluted comic lore, yet keeps the emotional core clear, especially Jean's relationship with Nathan and the Summers family dynamic. Storm's solar-powered upgrade and the synergy-style team attacks are standout moments, with animation and editing that continue to elevate the series. The Kang-style technology in episode three hints at a bigger villain reveal, and the hosts suspect the season was written while Jonathan Majors was still central to the MCU's plans. Bill Bernhardt's The Superman Wars tells the true story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's fight for Superman, drawn from court records, family interviews, and a 100-page autobiographical fragment Siegel typed himself. DC removed Siegel and Shuster's credits from Superman stories after the 1947 lawsuit, and the 1975 pension deal was only the middle of a legal battle that stretched decades further. Bill's advice for new writers: build a community, get a second opinion before signing anything, and stay alert, because the predators that took advantage of Siegel still exist in new forms. Quotes "Our old man bodies said no, but our heart said yes." – Thomas, on staying up for the premiere "The X-Men created Apocalypse. He's a leader because of the influence the X-Men put on him." – Frank "It's a taller, slender Jerry, but it's Jerry." – Bill Bernhardt, on Clark Kent "His origin story is basically Moses in outer space." – Bill Bernhardt, on Superman "Taking somebody's name off their work, that's immoral." – Bill Bernhardt Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

Episode 298 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a look at The Superman Wars: A Battle for Truth, Justice, and an American Icon by William Bernhardt. Tom breaks down the 2026 book that explores the decades-long battle behind the creation of Superman, focusing on Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's journey from two young creators in Cleveland to the men who changed comics forever. He examines how Superman was born, the infamous $130 sale to DC, the legal battles over ownership, and the decades of struggle for creator recognition, compensation, and credit. He also discusses Bernhardt's research into the court cases, copyright fights, the restoration of the creators' names, the impact of industry legends who fought on Siegel and Shuster's behalf, and what the Superman saga means for modern creators protecting their own work. Is The Superman Wars a powerful reminder of the human cost behind one of the world's greatest fictional icons, or does the complicated legal history show just how difficult creator rights remain in entertainment?

New witnesses, unpublished manuscripts, personal letters, and more reveal the complex and dramatic history of Superman and his creator, Jerry Siegel. This is a David and Goliath clash with twists, turns, and devastating upheavals. An underdog tale of a creator who fought for his rights and finally found redemption in his battle for truth, justice, and the American Way. A story that has never been fully told… Until now.

Most people know Superman as the heroic figure from Krypton, the mild-mannered Clark Kent who fights for truth, justice, and the American way. But as William Bernhardt reveals in The Superman Wars, the story behind Superman's creation is far more complicated, emotional, and dramatic than many fans realize. In this conversation, William Bernhardt joins Books That Make You to discuss the decades-long fight of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, whose work helped launch the superhero genre and reshape American pop culture. Drawing from legal documents, personal letters, unpublished manuscripts, and interviews with people who had never spoken publicly before, Bernhardt uncovers a story of creativity, commerce, betrayal, persistence, and long-delayed recognition. The Superman Wars explores how Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created one of the most recognizable characters in the world, only to spend much of their lives fighting for credit, dignity, and justice. Bernhardt also discusses the larger impact this story had on comic book history, creator rights, and the way artists are treated when their work becomes valuable to powerful companies. This episode is for comic book fans, writers, creators, pop culture historians, and anyone interested in the real human story behind an American icon.

Adam Bernhardt is the Head of Safety and Well-Being for Airbus in the Asia-Pacific region, an area that covers more twelve countries including Australia, Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia. Adam understands the subtle touch needed to advocate for safety across such a diverse region. In this conversation, I'll speak with Adam about the ways he works across nations and cultures that may have differing — and even contrasting — views of safety, and how the lessons he's learned from doing so might translate to our own individual lives.
