Director's Commentary: So, after I wrote and directed The Champions of Kal-El, I was all set to produce its sequel: The Champions of Kal-El 2: The Call. Unfortunately, CoKE Classic didn't get the ratings the CW was hoping, so my funding was revoked before even half of the movie was shot. It's a fickle business, TV production.

Well, the CW's lawyers were as shrewd as mine (lawyer, singular). They got out of the two-picture contract, I kept the film. It was essentially worthless, right? I can't exactly do anything with it, can I?

Long story short, I'm not one to be deterred, so I called in a favor from an old friend. You might know him. Goes by the name of Joss Whedon. In all honesty, we're not really old friends. He was my employer, and I was a writer he was glad to get rid of. But I got the call with him, pitching my idea for a new show called Archangel Investigations. Good thing I call, since even trying to produce the series would get me sued within an inch of my life. But Joss is an understanding guy who knows what it's like to want to call in a hit on a TV executive. So, he thought he'd lend a hand. He was perfectly content to write comics in his basement, and made a few calls, and before I knew it, I was making my very own pilot. With David Boreanaz of all people as a guest star.

And just in time, too. The CW need a quarter-season replacement and my series looked pretty inviting. Especially the part where five minutes out of each show had already been paid for. And the fact Joss Whedon's name was attached. The guy who had been rightfully fired from two of TV's biggest hits had his own series.

I lasted seven episodes. That's right, the entire series on two discs! For those of you who feel cheated out of the last five episodes, I have to apologize. They were never made. I did plan out the rest of the season and spoke with the cast about it, and luckily enough, had it taped. So you can find out what happened to our heroes in the end. You can also hear about some of the directions we planned on going for Season 2. Three cheers for bonus features!
